Xmas 2013 Gift Guide: Men

Men. They can be so hard to shop for. First of all, have you ever been shopping for men's clothes? There is no selection. You can buy pants or shirts or jackets or shoes. That's it. Where is the variety? And, it's unfortunate that women can borrow from men (watches, button-downs, jackets, t-shirts) but men can't borrow as easily from women.

But, I think that they key for most men (key word most) is that they prefer practical gifts. Which is totally fine; I like practical gifts as well. But, to make a gift truly outstanding, you want to add a touch of luxury to something practical.

Daily Gimme: Michael Kors Chain Bracelet Chronograph Watch

$225, Nordstrom

The sales are on. Unfortunately, this particular piece is not on sale. I used to never wear watches, because I had a cell phone and didn't like dealing with extra accessories. However, when I needed to start interviewing, I learned that watches apparently made you look professional and like you were "aware of time." I dunno. 

Anyway, I have a two Michael Kors watches now and I like them both. I saw a girl wearing this particular watch the other day and I thought it looked really nice and classy. This would be a good addition to my collection, since it's smaller and more feminine. Most of my watches have been "boyfriend-style", since I am not one of those girls with really slim wrists. You know what I'm talking about.
