One of the Guys

2008 Holiday Gift Guide for Guys

From the fancy boy to the fanatical cyclist to the gun enthusiast, here’s enough to cover all your dudes.

He Has Everything
He’s got more shoes than you do, but don’t worry: he’ll love Nudie Jeans’s leather wallet and a Wrath Arcane scarf from Matthew Izzo. Top him off with a Christys’ Crown Series hat from Sugarcube and a pair of Paul Frank glasses from Modern Eye.

Man’s Man
Send the tough guy in your life to the Philadelphia Archery & Gun Club so he can wield the steel in relative safety. Riding it more his speed? Spare Parts (406 Vine Street; 215-922-2214) has everything he needs to get his bike in working order, as well as enough cycle accessories to outfit him better than the cast of Mad Max.

Pedal Power
He wants to ride his bicycle harder than Freddie Mercury. Get the fixed gear fanatic a gift certificate for custom wheels from the Bicycle Stable. Add the perfect R.E.Load bag and a Fabric Horse utility belt and he’ll be road ready.

Joe Six-Pack
Pick up the beer lover a limited release of Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant’s Triple Bock from its Reserve line. It has a higher alcohol content (13.2 percent) and comes in a bigger bottle (375 ml). (We hear people like that.) Want more? Daily News columnist Don Russell penned Christmas Beer: the Cheeriest, Tastiest, and Most Unusual Holiday Brews, his most comprehensive book on booze to date.

Let’s hear it for the boys. We’ve got gift guides in every edition today.
