Fab Finds
For Your Guy

Stumped over what to get the main man in your life for a holiday gift this year? Take a peek at our tailored suggestions below — you'll probably come across a gift that piques your interest.

Knife set

The top chef

He already thinks he's a culinary genius, but we guarantee you there's a professional knife set or a top-of-the-line blender your guy's been dying to own — you might have to do a little prying, though, to figure out which one. And hey, if he has a good sense of humor, try throwing in a silly chef apron to give you both a hearty laugh.

Winter jacket

The outdoors lover

Any guy who enjoys the great outdoors will be thanking his lucky stars when he unwraps a cozy new jacket this year. Whether he's an avid snowboarder, a mountain biker, a hiker or a hunter, there's a special coat for almost every type of dude — it's just a matter of finding your outdoorsman the right one!

dress shoes

The metro businessman

There's nothing wrong with a dude who cares about his appearance, right? For the metro man with a corporate job, a new pair of leather dress shoes that can go with practically anything in his closet makes the perfect present. Trust us, we wouldn't steer you wrong.

Wine bottle

The food fiend

You know what they say: The way to a man's heart is through his stomach! This holiday season, create the ultimate personalized gift basket for your guy and fill it with an assortment of his favorite foods. You can even include a gift certificate to a restaurant he really loves or a bottle of his beloved wine, too.

The sports fanatic

Chances are, your man probably spends more time nowadays watching his team on TV rather than participating in any organized sports himself. So while you could go out and buy him a trendy pair of basketball shoes or soccer cleats or whatever, why not surprise him with a gift he'll actually use all the time? We recommend a fancy-schmancy flat-screen TV or a home theater system to truly make those must-see games come to life.

Headphones

The jetsetter

There are a number of great gifts to choose from for a guy who is constantly on the go. For example, if your boyfriend has had the same suitcase since he was in the seventh grade, he'll be stoked to receive a sleek new carry-on bag that won't cramp his style at the airport. If he's more of a music lover and can't deal with crying kids on planes, score him a pair of high-tech headphones to drown out that noise.
