Aren't men the hardest on your list to shop for? I always have the most trouble picking out gifts that Mr. Jackson won't return (oops... that's happened on a few separate occasions). Add a father, brother, grandpa and bro-friends to the list and it starts to get a little overwhelming! My strategy when tackling the choosier sex is usually the same. Splurge on good-quality necessities (like a sweater, gloves and personal care items) that he might otherwise save on. Men will almost always choose practicality over frivolity (unless we're talking gadgets, then all bets are off) and why not beat him to the punch with styles you can actually stand?

Holiday Gift Guide: For Him

holiday-gift-guide-for-himIs it me or are men really hard to shop for? When it comes down to it, I always dread finding the perfect gift for Mr. Jackson. Not this year! I've picked out an assortment of classic American pieces that even I'm secretly adding to my wishlist. That sweater? It's perfect for keeping cozy apres-ski and I would definitely steal it from his closet. A subscription service that'll send him a whole box of options handpicked just for him? That sounds like the gift that keeps on giving. Whatever your man's (or brother's/dad's/etc.'s) style, there's one rule I stick to around the holidays: Men like to be gifted practical items that they wouldn't necessarily splurge on.
