Here's a few special presents for the man that keeps your feet warm all winter long, the one that knows that sometimes all a girl needs is a cocktail and some good laughs to turn a bad day into a great day, the guy that give the greatest hugs and the biggest smile. Make him feel special this December - because he's tried hard to make you smile all year! 

So whether you are shopping for brother, boyfriend, cousin, or your lifelong bike gang confidant - there is something here for everyone! Enjoy... Here's a love song from one of my favorite men to take you through the guide... Dare you not to sing along.

This toiletry bag ($170) is not only simple and really nicely made but it's uncomplicated and super manly - men need that to carry around all their shaving creams and face lotions.

Translation: "Oh Darling, let's be adventurers"

If you are still having a tough time finding the right gift - a couple of birthday's ago I bought A an Apple TV it's kind of the coolest thing ever, and dude's love wireless things. There's also this wonderful collection of pocket squares and bow ties for the preppy guy in your life, also J.Crew has a men's gift guide that is excellent.  Last but not least, check out Scotch and Soda for some of the best button downs on that side of the Atlantic. 

Happy Shopping!
