Gift Guide: Gifts for the guys

Guys - your brother, your best friend, your husband, or your dad - can be both easy and hard to shop for.  Their tastes can be very simple or they may be the type to buy everything themselves first so you're left scratching your head at the remaining prospects.  I like to separate gifts for the guys into a few main categories: wardrobe staples (my brother still mentions how much he loves the Donna Karan cashmere sweater I got him years ago), gadgets (the Kindle isn't just for the guys though), and cool house stuff (well everyone appreciates cool glasses right?)

Here are my picks for gifts for the guys in your life:

1. Marc by Marc Jacobs Silk Cashmere pullover, Revolve Clothing, $119

2. Alice Made This Alexander Cooper cuff links, Mr. Porter, $125

3. Jack Spade Monza credit card holder, Amazon, $125

4. iittala - Aalto Stainless Steel Tray, All Modern, $85

5. Kindle Touch, Amazon, $99 (with special offers) or $139

6. Inside Out Champagne Glasses, MoMA Store, $70

For the gents - Hickey sample sale in NYC

I love sales. I'm also justify buying more because something is on sale. Quite terrible. But I am SO much better this year because of my sorry financial situation. I'm not even moving if it's less than 50% off. Mr. Chic 'n Cheap tried on Hickey Freeman tuxes at Off Saks and it fit pretty well. Hopefully there will be a nice Chic 'n Cheap tux at this sale!
