Valentines for Him
Valentine's Day - the holiday of many interweb detractors - is just around the corner. As I have said before, I'm a fan of the day as an opportunity to tell all those you love in your life (and I'm guessing there are many) how much you do. Here are some sweet treats for your brother, your boyfriend, your father, your friends...
Gift Guide: Tokyo
His digital dreams and technical talents make him right at home in this bright, big city. Gift him with gadgets that speak to his stream-lined style, but don't forget the toys for this (sort of) grown up boy.
Gift Guide: Durango
He's rugged and rustic a total 'outdoors' guy. Whether hiking, fishing, or skiing he'd rather be anywhere but his cubicle. Give him gifts that inspire long weekends away paired with simple ways to bring the outdoors in.
Gift Guide: London
He's a particular sort of gentleman whose style is both classic and classy. Outfit his person and habitat with tasteful provisions that reflect his heritage with just a little bit of Bond.
Gift Guide: That Guy
He's your internet-meme-finding, ever-funny, debauchery-seeking favorite. Give him gifts that feed his need for kooky and crazy without getting him in too much trouble.
Last Minute Gifts
As the final shopping days descend and shipping days are limited, I always turn to Amazon for last minute gifts for anyone and everyone on my list. Here's a pick for each of our gift guide recipients, in case you need to pad out your purchases. All available on Amazon!
Gift Guide: The Classicist
He's handsome and charming with a classic sense of cool. With a slightly more sophisticated humor than the dude, give him quality hand-crafted pieces with a penchant for the past.
Gift Guide: The Technocrat
His refined taste leans towards tech in everything from fragrance to footwear. Spoil him with simple selections of high-end designs both digital and domestic all wrapped up with a hint of danger.
Gift Guide: The dude
He's the perfect comedic companion whose style is all about the unexpected. Definitely not a "bro" and more Liger than Lebowski. Give him fun unusual gifts with a nod to his inner child and a sense of humor as big as his own.
Gift Guide: The Butcher
His craft in the kitchen is all about the meat. From exotic charcuterie to aged marbled steaks on the grill - this carnivorous cook needs the tools of his trade to complete his perfect meal.
Gift Guide: The Frequent Flyer
He's a 1K member, she lives in Red Carpet Clubs. Always coming, always going and spending a lot of time up in the air. Make their travels a little more comfortable with pieces that offer form and function, along with a few treats along the way.
Gift Guide: The Class Clown
He has love for comics and the comical - video games and classic toys. Tickle his funny bone with gadgets and gear that support his hijinks and keep his inner child thriving.
Gift Guide: The Gentleman
He's a man of the 21st century with a touch of class from the past. Part James Bond, part Don Draper, part diplomat. Buy him gifts that appeal to his love for fine clothing, cocktails and cars with a nod to the needs of modern man.
Gift Guide: The Mountain Man
An adventurer and outdoorsman with a love for flannel, even before those hipster kids started wearing it again. This mountain man is as at home on the river or the slopes as he is enjoying a craft beer back at the lodge. Buy him gifts that bring the mountain into his daily life plus classic tools for his next trek.
Gift Guide: The Digi-Ninja
He's a tech guru who loves all things sleek, black and wired. He may wield a blackberry instead of nunchucks, but have you ever seen thumbs so nimble? Give him gadgets and games with a nod to his inner shadow warrior.
Gift Guide: The Kitchen Chemist
One part gourmand, two parts mad scientist. Tech = tasty to this scientific saucier.
