shopping for men at christmas....

[smallestoftheclan]

Ok as to what team your b/f roots for will depend on several things. What country? We here in the US have football, and over in Europe what they call football we here in the US call soccer.
We say teams they say clubs, we limit that word (for the most part) to a country club.
Best bet is to go by a city name, or a state name or even if he's mentioned a favorite player. There are jerseys, sweatshirts, hats, t-shirts and a gizzion other things sports related you can get. Check out his closet I bet he has something and you can add to his collection.
If he's not into sports, there are daily planners, wallets, watches, or even plan a weekend away for the two of you and give him the tickets to let him know what you have planned. Put a little thought into it and that will touch him the most.
Unless he's had a cologne that you really liked and has run out of I don't suggest that.

Thanks smallesoftheclan
some good suggestions there

Hmmm patterned silk boxers, matching tops and lounge pants (see L L Bean); take him out shopping and buy him a sports jacket; ask him what his neck size is and then buy him a nice collar from PetsMart - see the Rottweiler section - one in black leather with silver studs on it; a bottle of his favorite booze - not beer, the other stuff; a bottle of champagne; a pair of men's thongs in bright red; the wierdest hat you can find specifically to wear at football games in his favorite team's colors; cockrings in various colors; books on football - the history thereof or the rules thereof. But make sure you include something about sex and him as being sexy.

Because no matter what you say - there isn't a man alive who is NOT interested in sex.


<--has no trouble shopping for the men in her life.

lol that's actually you shopping for yourself in the men's section. that's probably the female equivalent of a guy buying lingerie or something.


i'm the same age as this guy, i know christmas has passed but say for other occasions, these are things that all or most guys want:

-big screen high definition tv
-electric guitar with amp
-surround sound speaker system
-motorcycle
-downhill mountain bike
-snowboard/skiis
-anything he wants sex coupons for an extended period of time
-a gun
-new rollerblades/skates
-xbox 360 or playstation 3
-blu-ray player (IF they dont have a playstation 3 which has a blu-ray player or one in their computer AND they already have a tv that can display full 1080p)
-maybe a silver chain or even one of those stainless steel jobs that are pretty thick (cuban link pornstar type stuff) (most guys wont buy this for themselves because they consider buying jewelry pretty gay but if they had an excuse to wear it like their girlfriend got it for them then they would).
-a nice watch (fossil and swatch are very cost effective and under $300, if you are willing to spend some more the swiss army type makers like wenger, citizen, tissot are about $350-750, and then it goes up pretty fast from there with rolexes etc - main thing to remember though is that the wenger, tissot watches are not much worse than one of the ultra expensive watches so this could be a really good buy for the guy. look for a crystal face, and guys pretty much universally like some kind of metal band).
-nice sunglasses, raybans, oakleys are kinda for tools but lots of guys still like them, everyone loves a nice pair of aviators.
-tattoo, dunno if you want to help pay for this one as there's a pretty good chance its going to get removed down the road when he realizes what a stupid buy it was but lots of guys want a tattoo but just can't justify the $250-700 required.

that's about it. any guy in his early 20s with all these things along with a decent wardrobe that he collected himself, and a nice car would feel like he was in the top 5% or so of all guys.

Crackbaby - those are suggestions. What I actually bought for him - a Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic to go along with the Harley-Davidson Wide Glide I bought previously.
Don't even try, buddy.
Rollerblades! HAH!

[CrackBaby]

rollerblades might be more of a canadian thing for hockey

[EvilEvilKitten]

Big toys for big boys.
Rollerblades are for kids.

[CrackBaby]

most guys that play hockey are pretty big.

anyways what's a big toy? i would lean towards a cruiser being cool because by themselves i think they are, but i dont think i've seen anyone without a mullet, beer gut, manlove tattoo, or age over 35 on one. sport bikes are just sexier.

[EvilEvilKitten]

Expand your horizons and try seeing the other's perspective.

He also has to have more than half a brain.

[CrackBaby]

to ride a cruiser? the clutch is mildly more difficult to control, the ride is totally boring as hell though and the machine is simply not that capable.
