It can be difficult shopping for the man in your life -- especially mine. (Why can't men learn how to earmark catalogues and leave them about as subtle hints the way we do?) Unless you were gifted with a man who's easy to shop for, or who has no qualms telling you what to buy him, you'll need a few helpful suggestions. Here are three Christmas gifts that I think are perfect for guys (and if he doesn't like it, HE can take it back!):

Fisherman Sweater

No, there's no cheesy picture of a bass on the front of this sweater. It's a heavy, wool sweater that will keep him cool out on the lake in the winter or will just keep him looking cool and stylish. This sweater can be dressed up or down, and it will keep him warm all winter long.

iPod Speaker Dock

Most of us ditched our CD players years ago and have since put our music collection onto our iPods. This speaker dock will turn his iPod into a personal stereo system so he can crank up the jams when he's at home or working in the shed.

All-in-One Remote Control

I love this one because it is in the shape of a magic wand - he'll get a kick out that! Does your guy have a massive home entertainment system set up, with the TV, DVD player, stereo system, surround sound, and maybe even a game system or two? All those components come with their own remote control, and it can be a pain trying to keep up with them all. This all-in-one remote control will allow him to access the system with the touch of a button.
