Boys will be boys. Better let them have their toys.

Kissable Cooks and Holiday Sweater Types
Arista Spas has clever Fitvibe GolfPro sessions — a weight-training mix of 3-D visuals, swing-improving exercises, and a vibrating base plate, so he can step up his game without stepping foot on a course. An Atlanta BBQ Club membership grants access to exclusive food events and saucy eatery discounts.

Mistletoe Meet-Up Partners
Take a turn on his knee while he sits on a repurposed, refinished oil barrel chair by industrial gallerist John-Patrick McChesney (Hood Gallery, 280 Elizabeth Street, suite a103; 404-202-5517). George Sawyer “metal grain” rings are finger-size works of art crafted in the Mokume Gane tradition. (That’s the technique used to make ancient Samurai swords). Once the parent metal’s been folded and pressed, there’s no way to make a replica — so think ahead and order a matching one for yourself (custom designs available at both Worthmore Jewelers locations).

Office Party Date Plus Ones
Hometown holiday ornaments themed by city and Southern schools are tree-trimming party gold (available at Limetree locations around town). Appeal to literary types with Alex Underground, local scribe Jonathan Lerner’s latest about subversive 1970s politicos.

North Star’s not enough guiding light? Check out ShopTalk for artsy bongs, plants with feet, sleeping bag suits, and other gift ideas for guys.
