Everyone always says that men are simple, but shopping for men? Not so simple.

Some men in our lives aren't too complicated. Ask them what sweater they want as a present and they haven't a clue. Other dudes are the complete opposite. They only wear a specific brand in a specific color. So needless to say, it's up to you to know your guy. Once you've got that part covered, we can help you out with the holiday gift brainstorming.

Don't worry: Whether you're looking for your dad or your BFF, we promise you'll find something perfectly fitting on this list.
