He’s Such a Player

2007 Holiday Gift Guide for Guys

He plays inside; he plays outside; he plays with you. Feed his inner kid at heart with a few big boy toys.

Game Boy
He’s rooted them through two World Series, and that’s definitely earned him a pair of Red Sox cuff links from Alpha Omega Jewelers (1380 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge; 617-864-1227). Or maybe he’s miraculously made room in his minuscule apartment for a couple of Fenway Park bleacher seats. Bid on those or on lunch with Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley (and help The Home for Little Wanderers).

Remote Controller
Shut off the Wii?! As if. Seriously, get your guy to go outside with a natural wood Jack Spade slingshot (117 Newbury Street; 617-262-2632). Or send him out to sea with a gift certificate to the Boston Sailing Center (54 Lewis Wharf, Waterfront; 617-227-4198).

Mr. Clean Cut
He’s razor sharp but still keeps a can of foam on standby. Help him clean up his act with Sharps Kid Glove oil-free shave and aftershave gel. And Seiko’s Penguin watch will keep him young at heart. Pick up both from Uniform (511 Tremont Street, South End; 617-247-2360).

Game. Set. Score.
