If your guy dreads shaving, here's your chance to help him turn the chore into something he enjoys! Pick him up the best razors you can find and hit up The Art of Shaving for some superslick stuff.

High-Quality Alcohol
All out of ideas? Buy him a bottle of his favorite alcohol but reach for the top shelf. Most guys don't buy the good stuff everyday so he'll really appreciate the better quality of your gift. If he's a beer man, ask a bartender or liquor store clerk for help on making your own collection of holiday and special beers for him to try. Perfect for: Your father, grandfather or husband.
