12 Days of Christmas: Gifts for Him

12/04/12 | 12 Days of Christmas, Apple, Banana Republic, Christmas, Gift Guide, Holiday Gift Guide, J Crew, Nike, presents, Ralph Lauren, RayBan, Sephora, wine

Today is my fourth day in my 12 Days of Christmas.  I am very excited after two days of my gift guide for girl’s presents (here and here) to share my favorite gifts for the boys, both for the preppy and the techy:

Banana Republic Leather belt /   RayBan Wayfarer sunglasses / Wine Bottle sommelier set 
Collapsible golf set / Polo Ralph Lauren scarf /
 Sephora fragrance sampler  / J. Crew flask /  Gayle’s Golf Ball chocolates /

 Last year, I got the fragrance sampler for my brother and over the Christmas holiday he wore one fragrance every night to dinner and by the end of the trip he had decided that Giorgio Armani Acqua de Gio was for him. 




 
Roku 2XS Streaming Device / Ctrl + Alt + Del Cup Set / Presto Pizza Oven  
JayBird Freedom Spirit Bluetooth Headphones / Interactive Hydracoach Water Bottle / Mini Electric Guitar
Camera Lens Kitchen Timer  / FitBit Zip Green Pedometer / Nike + iPod Sensor &  Nike Lunarguide Sneakers

What do you think of my picks?  Would any of these work for a guy in your life?

    What great ideas, that fragrance sampler is my favorite! I’ve not seen it before. I tend to rely on Fossil quite heavily for gifts of the men and boys in my life. I love their collection of small leather goods (as well as the larger stuff):)
