The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Every Type of Guy

Shopping for men can be hard, scratch that, impossible. Whether they're super picky or chronically indifferent, choosing the right gift can be difficult whether you just started dating or you've been together for years. Luckily, my boyfriend isn't shy about pointing out any little thing he would like to receive wrapped in shiny paper, so over the months I've been keeping track of all the things that have caught his eye.

And since my boyfriend is only one guy's opinion, I also enlisted the help of a few friends who we're happy to send me a Christmas list of items they'd be more than happy to find under the Christmas tree. Whether your brother, boyfriend or best friend enjoys movies or sporting events, you should be able to find something on this gift guide for every guy on your list.

For your convenience I have added direct links to the items (or closest match) beneath each image. I will not profit at all from you clicking or purchasing anything from those links, I was just trying to save you guys some time. Happy shopping!
