I Loathe Cliché Gifts for Men—Here Are 44 That Are Actually Chic
Not to be dramatic, but for fashion people, the holidays are basically our form of the Super Bowl. It's the season of shopping. All of those biannual sales? We're ready to run through those aisles. All of the forthcoming trends for the New Year? We've already pre-grieved what we're parting with to make room for what's to come in our closets. And of course, there are the holidays themselves, during which we want to find the best presents for our loved ones. In short, it's shopping season, baby! And while many might derive joy from this time of year, that doesn't mean everyone does. Finding holiday gifts has its fair share of challenges—especially when shopping for a boyfriend.
Finding the perfect present for a friend or family member? Easy. But your lover? It's a whole different story. Whether you've been together for a few months or a long time, finding something that feels special enough for your special person can be stressful.
