Holiday 2013 Gift Guide: For Him
Boys are the worst. It always seems to me, that somehow they are the most easy going and yet the most difficult to buy for. Ask my boyfriend, father, brother what they want for Christmas and they'll lazily answer: "Oh, I don't know, anything is fine with me." But really - WHAT DO YOU WANT? Please, do me a favour and just tell me. It's actually infuriating.
So, in order to keep my sanity and hopefully help a few chicks out, I put together a gift guide suitable for any guy. Whether they're the outdoorsy type, the dapper gent or a tech geek, we've got some fabulous gifts:

@Anjanie777 YES! You nailed it. | |
Awesome ideas. I'm the worst when it comes to shopping for guys to begin with. This covers all of the men in my life (Don't worry - I ain't no playa!) | |
Don't forget the ultimate gift that is easy to forget....time with each other. Breakfast in bed, a really nice dessert in bed (and you can take that however you want to), a date (like real date), a stay-cation or mini-vacation like if you live in the city of Toronto, you can go Niagara, and just chill together. Sometimes the most obvious gift, that is underrated and cheap, ends up being the best gift of all. You can't bottle time, and we never have enough. So the gift of time is perfect for just about everyone! | |
@TashaCat Try personalized gifts! Even if they already have whatever the item is, they don't have one thats personalized, I bet! I just bought my friend a watch with our photo as the face. There are a ton of companies that will make things with your instagram pics too (magnets. stickers etc). | |
My guy is SO hard to buy for. He doesn't need anything. Is pickier than he suspects in his choices and thinks 'stuff' is so overrated. Worse - this year we've set a low cost limit! Def going to check these out ... and watch this space for other ideas! | |
Got my husband a tassimo t46. He's gonna love it. | |
Great suggestions! |
