Depending on who you’re shopping for, men can be tricky to buy for during the holidays. Oftentimes, men need clothes, but when you break it down, are you buying it more for you or for them? They also tend to be picky. And not to mention, sizing is always weird and difficult. The one thing I always fall back on when shopping for Mike, stick to things I know he likes, but wouldn’t normally buy for himself. I remember picking out a handful of socks for him one Christmas and he was completely happy and content and still to this days is thankful I stocked his sock drawer. I swear, they don’t think twice about splurging on a 50” tv, but no-show socks, that’s a difficult purchase. Men also may enjoy items they don’t even know exist. I’ve been thinking about getting Mike a leather catchall for his nightstand. He would never in a million years ask for that, but I know he would enjoy it. That brings me to my next point. Men’s gifts are personal. You know your guy best, so think about what he enjoys and what he needs.
