HOLIDAY gift GUIDE for our favorite GUYS

We know you’re making that list [and checking it twice] and need some ideas for the guys in your life. Typically, the standard issue of ties, fragrance, gadgets, a beverage, and shaving set are still the most appropriate gifts for dad | boyfriend | brother.  Here’s a batch of some useful guy gifts with an added WOW factor to make it easier on gifting the kind of gifts for our men actually “get” for holiday 2013.

Fragrance: Guys need to smell lovely too, which is why Gaultier’s Le Male Special Edition Eau de Toilette Spray makes another perfect gift. A popular scent [it sells every 6 seconds], we can see why it’s a favorite. ‘On The Docks,’ a campaign film by JPG and featuring the smoldering Jarrod Scott, is the latest installment in this fragrance’s legacy. With ingredients like lavender, cinnamon, amber and cardamon, it’s warm and enticing. Get the bottle with the stripes, it’s a ‘win win’ for your favorite man.

Ermenegildo Zegna UOMO Eau de Toilette is sleek and sauve, confident and compelling. It’s the kind of scent that’s 100% masculine. With a slew of ingredients like ambroux, cedarwood and patchouli prisma, it’ll be a new, long-lasting favorite after the first spritz. L.12.12 Noir Lacoste for men is mysterious and enticing. A new scent from this year, it’s a woody aromatic fragrance that has hints of watermelon, basil, lavender, and dark chocolate. It’s definitely the perfect scent for a romantic night out. Really delicious! For the traditional guy,  Vince Camuto for men has a batch of citrus:  Italian bergamot and mandarin anchored with spicy zests of black pepper.  This easy to wear fragrance is a perfect gift for Dad.  L’eau D’issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake is a light fragrance for the sophisticated man on the go. For the real sports enthusiast, NY YANKEES eau de toilette is a great gift for your guy (and for you to enjoy.) This smells amazingly sexy, and perfect for the mate glued to the sports channel.
