Question: Why do men rarely shop for themselves?
Answer: Because they know you’ll shower them with awesome gifts. Selfish and lazy? You betcha. But you can’t help buying him things. Love’s weird like that.
His Wardrobe Is Wrong — All Wrong
Channel his inner pirate with an eye patch hat. Tack on a dapper bow tie from Frenchie designer Laurent Desgrange and sailor-inspired sneakers — with colored laces, of course.
He Loves Him Some Alcohol
He’ll learn the art of the drink from expert Paul McGee at The Whistler’s Cocktails 101 classes (to reserve, e-mail shelby@whistlerchicago.com). He won’t need beer goggles to see how cool an at-home brewing kit is. Add a book for inspiration.
He’s into Bling
Go maverick with a bomber ring. Or, speaking of shiny objects, your boy deserves to ring his bike bell in style. And hip to the hop with a Grand Taxonomy of Rap Names poster.
He’s Afraid of the Dark
But after he makes his own monster, he’ll feel way safer. Brighten up his space with a spotlight floor lamp.
He’s Always Late
A “nude” alarm clock will keep him punctual. Throw in a spiffy wristwatch to cut out all excuses.
