Men aren’t tough to shop for, but that doesn’t mean you can buy us just anything.
We’re not picky, but we certainly don’t want the same things women want.
Women like thoughtful gifts from the heart, and men just want stuff that’s a mix of fun and useful.
Gym membership
What, we’re not fit enough already?
This not-so-subtle suggestion that we need to get in shape won’t convince us to get off the couch, but it will be grounds for retaliation with your gift next year.
Silly gadgets
Stores like Brookstone and Sharper Image are the go-to gadget stores for the hard-to-shop-for male.
But please, no more 3-in-1 pens or motorized grill brushes. We already have regular versions of these things that do the job without batteries and buttons.
Cologne
Men either already wear a specific cologne or choose not to wear any.
Your random scent selection won’t fit into either of those categories, but it will sit unused in our bathroom medicine cabinet forever.
