Buying gifts for guys is always daunting, especially if he has impeccable taste. So instead of searching the racks for hours looking for the perfect present, save yourself the hassle and use our list as a starting point. From high-tech nerd to the fashion aficionado, we have some suggestions. 

Acqua di Parma  is an elegant cologne your man can wear for any occasion. The scent combines citrus notes of orange with pink peppercorn and sensual amber and cedar. You can find it at Barney’s for $110 (above left). 

If your man is looking for an ego boost, the Konstantino square coin pendant should do the trick. The gold relief design features Adonis, a Greek god symbolizing the good looks and fortune of youth. The sterling silver necklace is $450 at Neiman Marcus (above right). 

Does comfort always win over style in your guy’s wardrobe? The slick Cole Haan penny slippers will appeal to his manly side, and they’re comfortable, too. They’re on sale for $90 at ColeHaan.com (left). 

Show off your artistic side by giving him an Alex Ambrose photograph. The up and coming photographer (she was picked as a top photographer in the book 25 Under 25: Up and Coming Photographers) uses her interest in patterns, layering and textures to capture stunning images from exotic locations such as India, Asia, Laos and Havana. Price upon request (One of her photos, below, a jewelry shop in Bangkok, was taken in 2000).

The Vilbrequin peace sign swim trunks (below, left) are perfect for the man who wants to stand out on his next beach vacation. Barney’s carries the trunks for $235 as a part of their Hippie Holiday Christmas collection. 

We love the sleek, intriguing shape of Bowers and Wilkins iPod docking loudspeaker. And if you are shopping for the techie type, he will too. The speakers use state of the art acoustic technology normally found only in traditional hifi speakers. Neiman Marcus sells them for $600 (above right). 

Not sure what to get for the man who has everything? Impress him with a Dolcepunta tie (read about the line in the Robb Report). Italian tie maker Rolando Scapelleto uses an 11-step complex folding operation with his creations that other tiemakers are still trying to perfect to this day (below).  The striking silk ties start at $250. They’re sold in quality men’s clothing boutiques across the country.

A good watch is something every man needs to own at some point in his life. Go all out this Christmas by giving him a classic Breitling watch (below). While they may be a little pricey, the quality is par to none. Search the Breitling Web site for a local dealer near you. Prices start at around $2,000.
