It’s a dilemma every year – what to get that special guy? Read on for some suggestions of gifts he’s guaranteed to love.
Every guy needs a stylish watch, and who better to pick it out for him than the most fashionable lady he knows? I love an oversized take on a classic watch with a black strap, like this one from Emporio Armani (available at Nordstrom), but if you prefer a sleek metal style there are plenty of those as well. If your guy’s really into sports, you could get him a fancy athletic watch that would let him keep track of his times. The options are endless!
This Zwilling grooming kit is designed with your man in mind – no girly touches here! These kits include everything he needs to keep himself in tip top shape, and come in both sets of five pieces (pictured) and three pieces, all available at Nordstrom as well.
If he’s into music, or technology, or gadgets, or anything, get him an iPod Touch – these amazing little machines not only play music, but have fun games and internet connections as well, making it a must-have for guys on the go. Your guy might already have an iPod, but he’ll love the technology upgrade that comes with the iPod Touch. Plus, if you purchase one from the online Apple store they’ll engrave it for free, so you can give him a gift he’ll love with a special message he can look at forever (or at least until you need to upgrade this iPod two Christmases from now!)
What guy doesn’t need more ties? Plus, this way you can make sure he has an uber-fashionable tie in his closet for the important events in his life. I like these chic ties from Salvatore Ferragamo, as well as these amazing Burberry ties – the slim cut is very stylish.
But ladies, if you can’t think of anything else your guy might like, try getting tickets to something – a concert, sporting event, you name it. Find out whether his favorite bands or sports teams are playing near you and try to score some tickets to an upcoming event. The bonus for you is that it gives you a fun date to look forward to – and shop for! Check out Ticketmaster or StubHub to see what’s going on in your area.

Men can be really difficult to buy for but this year as it has been cold, I am getting my partner those iphone gloves – so he can still use his phone when he is out in the cold – they look great and great minds think a like he is also getting some sports tickets – he has always wanted a season ticket.
