It seems that no matter how well you know the men in your life, come this time of year, buying for brothers, dads, boyfriends etc. suddenly becomes incredibly daunting. Since a big screen TV is usually not in the budget, I suggest going with something that you know they’ll use, but may not spring for themselves. Below, a few suggestions..
Nest: Not many guys will swoon over a new throw pillow, but a personalized decanter (like this option from West Elm) is exactly the time of home decor that your boyfriend will appreciate. Go traditional and put his initials on the cork, or have some fun with a short phrase like ‘refills’ or ‘enough’. Gift it with a nice bottle of whiskey for extra bonus points.
Dressed: Pay homage to their favorite day of the week with this quality graphic t-shirt from Saturdays Surf NYC, great for your younger brother who may need a hint that it’s time to throw away those old childish tees.
The Rest: Most men grab the same bar soap and shampoo day after day – but if you gave them a quality Kiehls set, I promise they’d never want to go back. Not only is this a great starter set that let’s them try a little bit of everything, it would also be great for your dad’s next trip or a brother in law that’s always traveling for business.
