The key to gift giving is to choose something unique and useful that suits the other person… preferably something that doesn’t suck. Whether you’re shopping for a guy, yourself, or you keep getting asked and don’t know what the f*ck you want, we’ve compiled a gift "guyd" so good it will make any man nod in approval.
