Is it just me, or are the guys in our lives the most difficult to shop for no matter the occasion? When I ask my husband or brother what they’d like for Christmas, I either get blank stares, a shoulder shrug or the standard ‘whatever’. With their lack of input, I find myself roaming the aisles of the home improvement store or searching the internet for inspiration. If you’re looking for some ideas for the guys, we’ve created this guide to help you shop for the men in your life.
