Boys ’R’ Us
2006 Holiday Gift Guide for Guys
Men may have their pick of leading parts on the big screen, but in the dramedy that is your life (starring: you), it’s the supporting role they play that counts. So go ahead, give them an award.
Your Bond, James Bond
He has a tailor (in Italy) and speaks Catalan. Order him some white truffles from Quattro (1014 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach; 305-531-4833) — they’re presented under glass.
Your Joaquin Phoenix (as Johnny Cash)
He finds a guitar at every party. Some retro headphones (in colors like powder blue and pea green) will take him back to the days when, as he likes to say, music was actually good.
Your Perez Hilton
He’s not an actor but a living, breathing celeb gossip rag. The Pop-Up Book of Celebrity Meltdowns features 3-D versions of classic pop-culture blunders like Janet’s wardrobe malfunction and Tom’s Oprah couch freak-out.
Your Johnny Depp
He contemplates. He broods. He streams consciousness. Wrap up a black leather Assouline skull notebook/sketchbook (Books and Books, Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour; 305-864-4241), and he’ll jump for joy. (On the inside.)
Your Vince Vaughn
He’s a manly man: calluses and Bob Seger. But he knows the value of moisturizer and Cat Power. For this sensitive lumberjack, get a Mandle, which burns fragrances like “leather” and “hunting lodge.”
