You thought stocking stuffers would be easy. Then you noticed he’d hung Shaq-size mukluks from the mantle. The DailyCandy Gift Guide for Guys will help.

Big Boy Pants
He’ll drop the Irish Spring when he gets a load of new Ritual grooming products. Appeal to his inner frat boy with the faux-messy Leave the Light On oil lamp (TableArt, 7977 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood; 323-653-8278) or camouflage it with Common Projects sneakers.

Hungry Jack
Unwrapping Lobel’s Wagyu beef (American for Kobe) is almost as exciting as eating it. He’ll really go caveman with Chris Stiles Dry Bones salt and pepper shakers (A+R, 1716 Silver Lake Boulevard, Silver Lake; 323-913-9558).

Call of the Wild
He’ll look extra smart in a rugged but refined Pendleton plaid tie and will stash small stuff in a cast iron pinecone box. There’s no better place for his notes on nature than in a Paper + Cup letterpressed animal journal (Flax-Pen to Paper, 1078 Gayley Avenue, Westwood; 310-208-3529).

Liberal Arts
If his walls are bare, fill them with affordable art from Thumbtack Press. But if he’s got that covered, Calvin Johnson mixed tapes and Jonny Paycheck’s Impalaville, a lowrider oldies L.A.-style mixed CD (Ooga Booga, 943 North Broadway, suite 203, Chinatown; 213-617-1105), can be his soundtrack during sessions with his grown-up Vladmaster Viewmaster.

Sports Chalet
Up his style game when he’s out on the links with APC golf club covers and in the clubhouse with Jack Spade travel Scrabble. Word on the court is that tickets to an actual sporting event go over well, too.

And if he’s got any complaints, tell him to put a cashmere sock in it.
