And the Gift Goes to …

2007 Holiday Gift Guide for Guys

No, you can’t gift him with an Oscar for Best Male Lead. But you can get him something that’s worthy of his excellent performance. The nominees are …

Best Action/Adventure
Book him a fishing trip with TailWaters Flyfishing Co. (2416 McKinney Avenue; 214-219-2500) and send him on his way with a fourteen-piece bar briefcase — perfect for cocktails on the go (Forty Five Ten, 4510 McKinney Avenue; 214-559-4510). Afterward, hose him down with something appropriately manly.

Best Wardrobe
Magnetic collar stays keep his shirt just as upright and reliable as he is; throw in a whimsical tie so people don’t get the wrong impression.

Best Comedy
An Alexandra Knight alligator pocket jotter makes for a perfect place to pen his snappiest one-liners. Confidential, a coffee table book featuring look-alikes in compromising positions (e.g., the Queen of England on the toilet), keeps houseguests guffawing. And with a hefty dose of early SNL, he’ll surely be all smiles.

blissful thinking! Feel-Good Hit of the Season
The Homme Improvement facial is the men’s version of Bliss’s popular triple oxygen facial (2440 Victory Park Lane; 214-397-4168). Followed by a good smoke pulled from his new Csonka pocket cigar case, it’s the perfect ending to a stressful day.
