Men: can’t live with them and can’t shoot them. And you certainly can’t shop for them.

Need help? We thought you’d never ask.

Toy Boy
Let him live his rock star fantasy (quietly) with drumstick pencils. If he’s not feeling important enough, personalized wine should help him feel special again.

Father Figure
Thank him for turning a blind eye with an eye mask and for always listening to your problems with retro-looking iPod speakers. And though he might not look as young as he did (a traditional shaving set could help), let Dad know he’s still your hero with movie icon coffee table books.

Travelling Man
A man of the world needs good luggage, discreet travel guides to ensure he doesn’t get lost and a smart business card case to keep track of the people he meets along the way. Send him on an orbing adventure to shake things up. He’ll feel like he’s taken a trip to the moon.

Smartie Pants
Going to work will seem more fun with a newspaper laptop bag tucked under his arm. Is he the forgetful type? Remind him on a giant sticky note. If not, a puzzle calendar will help him figure it all out.

After all, they’re not all wise men.
