I've compiled some of my favorite gifts for the guys in your life. I tried to keep it less obvious than iPhones, tablets, etc and give you something more along the lines of classic gifts with a twist. I hope you find something for the people on your list!
The fact that tie clips or tie bars are coming back into fashion is awesome (thanks Don Draper!) and a tie clip made from the inside of a Maker's Mark bourbon barrel? Uh, yes please! If your gift recipient takes their beer drinking seriously, they would love a glass from Pretentious Beer Glass on Etsy. They're handmade and the quality is astounding; I love the dual glass to drink two beverages at once—I love Framboise with Abita Pecan.
Cologne and body products are always standby Christmas gifts, but Sephora's Cologne sampler already comes in a great travel bag and boasts several samples with a gift certificate the recipient can redeem for a full size of their favorite. A foolproof gift for someone whose taste you're unsure of. Jack Black is a great standby, the best value was from Overstock for a 6 piece travel set at $60. A shaver is something many guys use everyday, and I love the handmade bloodwood set (#8) that takes Mach 3 refills!
Valets are a useful gift, but I really love the simplicity of the wooden valet from Undulating Contours (#7) for $36 (there are cheaper models) that houses an iPhone charging station, your watches, wallet, keys, and even glasses. Speaking of glasses, and wood (I'm a sucker for wood, can you tell?) The Mato handmade bamboo sunglasses are incredibly cool, eco-friendly, unique and $50—much cheaper than Raybans.
