And for Christmas I gave him Socks...

I'm sure most people would agree - it's not easy to buy Christmas gifts for men. In my opinion this is because, in most cases, their gender automatically eliminates most gift categories. Bags and Accessories - out. Beauty Products - out. Quirky Stationary - out. Ornaments - out. Scented Candles - out. That leaves you with one category only - Functional Gifts. Great! (This may be a bit of an over-simplification, but you get the idea!)

I am graced with multiple family members of the male persuasion, and have decided to attack the 'gifts for men' conundrum this year. I'm sure you'll be seeing some of my research featured here over the coming weeks.

This suggestion i just love! These prints are by nativevermont, available on etsy.
