Shopping for men for holiday gifts should be easy, but it isn’t. How many ties does one man really need? Or want? My guess is not that many. So I searched for gifts that are a little out of the ordinary or expected. OK, maybe some are expected, but they are cool. Cool dudes like cool things.
1. Conscious Step Socks Gift Box, $44.95
Not only are the 3 pairs of socks in this gift box smashing, they bring good karma to the giver and the receiver. Each box (made from a durable recycled kraft paper) allows you to provide 2 schoolbooks, 18 months of clean water, and support the company’s goal to end poverty by 2030. The organic cotton socks are made in fair trade conditions with no child labor.
YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

2. Viktor&Rolf ‘Spicebomb’ Eau de Toilette Travel Size, $55
I normally don’t suggest colognes, but this one smells amazing and the bottle is small enough for travel or a gym bag. The fragrance contrasts spicy notes of chili and saffron with the all-masculine roundness of leather and tobacco. There are also notes of bergamot, grapefruit and cinnamon. Yum.
