Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do?

2008 Holiday Gift Guide for Guys

He’ll always be your superhero. And while he may look great in spandex, spare us all and gift him according to his alter ego.

Peter Parker
Spidey’s a little nerdy but totally lovable, especially when he wears his slick smoking jacket and bearded hat. The math whiz serves Mary Jane on themed table linens and sleeps with one eye open on his Mean Streets pillow.

Clark Kent
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s your super man — always on the go. Nankeen’s weekender bag is perfect for crime-fighting jaunts, while colorful Bonobos pants, Tais ties, and a felt glasses case make wardrobe changes a cinch. When he finally gets a spare moment, the Daily Planet reporter in him will love the Select-a-Date New York Times jigsaw puzzle.

Bruce Wayne
He prefers the finer things in life, so his servants use only stainless-steel cheese slicers and serve Gotham’s elite with cedar sake vessels. Ostrich eggs hand-painted with card suits remind him that the Joker’s always lurking. Touch the contents of his Makr leather tote and he’ll come at you like, well, a bat outta hell.

Bruce Banner
Beneath the boring physicist exterior, he’s a hulk of a man. He keeps his appetite in check with Lasater Grasslands Beef and Shaw’s Alaskan king crab legs. When he starts feeling stressed (a lot), he calms down by strumming his acoustic guitar and paying a visit to Offshore Sailing School.
