Believe it or not, I’ve always had a relatively easier time shopping for men than women. Women are a little more fickle with what they like, but for most guys, gadgets, bar cart related stuff, accessories and things that they need (but for some reason won’t get for themselves) are always good choices. Now, this doesn’t mean that you can buy them just anything (duh, they do have style!), but it does mean that you have a wider range of categories that you can choose from when you need to go shopping and you’ll be good no matter what you choose.
Whether you’re shopping for one of your bros or your hunny, here’s a roundup of goodies for every guy on your list.

Pro shopping tip: if all else fails, practical items (think coats + scarves, messenger bags and grooming items) are great choices because they are things men will always need. PJs and techy items are a close second-just pay attention to personal style and their level of expertise when it comes to electronics.
