Stay away from power tools as "guy gifts"

Every Christmas I have no idea what to get my girlfriend, sister, and mother. I'm fairly confident I could wander through the aisles of my local Mega Box Store and, without putting much thought into it, find something my dad or brother would die for -- because if I think it's awesome, chances are they will too.


But the women in my life are always giving each other candles, gift baskets, and other kitsch I'd never think to purchase -- is this what they want from me?

I imagine you ladies are faced with a similar conundrum when it comes to buying gifts for your brother, boyfriend, father, etc. Just because he's a man, does that mean he needs a power tool for Christmas?

Obviously, the answer is no. Rather than fall back on something stereotypical, pick out something he'll use, but probably wouldn't bother to buy for himself -- like a wallet, some nice looking luggage, etc. You know his taste, and (chances are) you have a better eye for what's fashionable, so you'll be able to pick out a stylish item or two that won't end up at Goodwill. Check out this post on Fabsugar for a few idea to get you started.
