i can pick great gifts for the women in my life blindfolded. but men? they’re an entirely different story. whether it’s a husband, a dad or a brother, something about buying for guys is just baffling, unless you want to go to the old standby of cologne, a watch or a pair of cufflinks.
i’ve left out the obvious choices…something tells me you don’t need to be reminded that a 52″ HDTV is high on his list. but if you’re looking to head off the beaten path a bit this year, here are a few that are absolutely sure to make just about any guy smile.
left to right, from top: marshall major headphones, $99; native(x) pendleton wool scarf, $20; clinique expert shave kit, $31 (love the waterproof dopp kit it comes with); boccalone artisan cured salumi gift box, from $25; logitech harmony rechargeable remote control, $106; ecco personal digital compass GPS locator, $70; merrell guise men’s jacket (converts into neck pillow for travel!), $129; filson small duffle bag, $225; byrd and belle felt/leather ipad sleeve, $48.
