As the holidays approach Here is a list according to askmen.com what are the top things you get your men.
So listen up and pay attention.
10 Gifts She Should Get For You
There are many things men will instinctively purchase on their own, such as beer, ale, suds, and alcoholic amber fluid (just to name a few). Unfortunately, upon leaving the confines of childhood -- where mothers and fathers are legally bound to provide us with the products, goods and surgeries needed to survive -- many adult men tend to forego purchases that could turn them into fully-rounded, happy individuals.
On the bright side, while your parents have moved out of this pampering role, girlfriends (hopefully more than one) have moved in. So whether youre a girl reading this list on your boyfriends behalf or you're a guy planning to print this out and leave it on your girlfriends face while she sleeps, take note of the products below and make sure they reach the top of your current squeezes shopping list.
upgrading current pleasures
If there is one thing men have an inherent skill for, it's finding something they love and then buying its cheap, half-ass equivalent. This is why one of the best gifts a man can receive is the first-class version of a product he usually doles out pocket change for.
Premium liquor
When it comes to alcohol, a lot of men are willing to forego taste and purity if it means they can get four gallons of it for $5. This is why splurging on a premium bottle of liquor remains, to this date, one of the most refreshing gifts a man can receive.
Collectors items
When it comes to entertainment and hobbies, men and women tend to be polar opposites. After all, no woman has ever celebrated Easter morning by watching The Lord of the Rings, Scarface and an Iron Maiden DVD back-to-back. Thats why when a woman overcomes her own disgust and purchases her boyfriend something rare and expensive concerning his nonfemale love, such as Tony Montanas belt or Gandolfs toothpick, its like his Christmas, birthday and Jessica Albas birthday rolled into one.
Magazine subscriptions
Okay, so buying a man a magazine subscription isnt really an upgrade, as these tend to be cheaper than buying individual copies of the publications. But the real treat here is that boyfriends will never have to go to the magazine stand in the middle of winter to find out why Tara Reid thinks brown hair is so sexy.
great grooming gifts
When it comes to personal grooming, many men simply dont possess the skills, know-how or bathroom mirror needed to properly turn themselves from a stinky anthropoid to a fragrant Adonis -- making this the perfect area for a girlfriend to take control.
Axe Lab: Fragrances for men
Across the country, there are numerous men who equate not being smelly with smelling good. In times like these, its the sworn duty of girlfriends to teach their men about the advances made in fragrance technology and why their misunderstanding of eau de toilette has made them both stinky and unhygienic.
Shaving kit
Unless a man is part of a militia or an English department, his head is the location of a perpetual war between facial hair and a society that deems it unacceptable. Thats why equipping her man with the weapons needed to make the war as painless as possible -- specifically, a top-of-the-line shaving kit -- is the best thing she can do to support the troops, uh trooper.
Great towels
As most of America is accustomed to showering at least once a day, a lot of the problems that have to do with mens hygiene dont relate to getting clean, they stem from staying clean when using decrepit, old rags to dry themselves. Thats why girlfriends should take note and invest in their mans health (and by association, their own) by purchasing them a great set of plush towels.
top-notch textiles
Though men as a whole have taken leaps and bounds when it comes to their personal style, there are still crucial holes in their wardrobes that will go unplugged without the help of a loving female.
Silk sheets
Newsflash! Everyone, regardless of their gender, thinks that silk feels good. Thats why girlfriends need to do their boyfriends a favor and rid them of their hand-me-down sheets and show them just how luxurious lying around unconscious can be.
Winter accessories
For some unknown reason most, if not all, men come to the realization that they must, on occasion, trade their puffy NY Jets jacket for something more adult. Unfortunately, when it comes to gloves, scarves and hats, a lot of men seem to be stuck on their childhood playgrounds. So what do they need? A girlfriend to come in and stylize their heads and their hands so that they wont die of cold or bad taste.
Underwear and socks
In general, men buy houses more frequently than they do underwear or socks. In these cases, the perfect action of an adoring girlfriend (or simply, a woman that doesnt enjoy pulling 10-year-old boxers off the person they are about to sleep with) is to invest in their man with sexy-yet-functional underwear and socks, by association.
Bathrobes and pyjamas
Though most women are well-versed in achieving comfort via comfortable clothes, most men are not. Thats why its time for women to show their boyfriends their lounging-as-lifestyle secrets and surprise them with a comfortable uniform for relaxation comprised of a bathrobe and pyjamas.
give the gift of gendered giving
Often, the greatest gift is to give someone something they need. But when an entire gender is in need of something, shopping becomes much easier. So listen up females: Follow the list above to achieve success any time you decide to shower your boyfriend with tangible praise. Just remember not to regift. Not only is it in poor taste, but it could defeat the hygienic goals of many of the presents listed here.
Do these things and you should have a happy man come christmas morning. Just aslong as you don't spend it on his expense though
