Man of the House: Gift Giving for Dad

"He's just so hard to buy for." If you had a dollar for every time you heard a woman say that (or said it yourself, ladies) about a husband, boyfriend or father around the holidays, you'd be rich, right? Well, you're making it much harder than it has to be, plain and simple. Dad's not hard to buy for come Christmas.

"He's just so hard to buy for."
If you had a dollar for every time you heard a woman say that (or said it 
yourself, ladies) about a husband, boyfriend or father around the holidays, 
you'd be rich, right? Well, 
you're making it much harder than it has to be, plain and simple. Dad's not hard 
to buy for come Christmas. You just need to know what he wants, and it's a given 
that he's not going to tell you.
"I don't care. Whatever you want to get."
We know. Frustrating answer. So here are plenty of gift ideas that are sure 
to please. Don't even ask him this year. Just surprise him.
BBQ sets - You can't go wrong with a grill or grill accessories. It goes back 
to the primitive "caveman" in all men. You know, cooking slain meat over an open 
fire. Women may not get it, but men do. They love to grill. They love to talk 
about grilling. Heck, some of them grill in the dead of winter with snow piled 
on the ground! It's in their blood. 
The good news is: even if you can't afford an expensive 
grill, great grilling sets complete with utensils and aprons are inexpensive and 
easy to come by!
Magazine subscriptions - Men love sports. It's a given. You can't go wrong 
with a subscription to Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, etc. It's a gift 
that keeps on giving the 
entire year, and one the man of your house will appreciate.
Men love mugs - A personalized beer mug, complete with a nameplate, is never 
a bad thing for the typical American male.
Tools - Even those who can't screw in a light bulb consider themselves to be 
a regular Mr. Fix-It. Don't 
dispel the myth! Let them believe by getting them a tool set. Whether you want 
to spend a ton on top-notch gadgets or buy a simple ratchet set, tools are the 
toys for "old boys."
Desk globe - If your man needs an office accessory, a desktop globe is the 
way to go. Maybe it's an innate yearning to hold the world in his hands, or a 
Napoleonic desire to conquer the business world, but men love globes.
Poker set - Poker has never been hotter! If that Friday night game in the 
basement with his cronies is something your husband looks forward to all week 
long, this is the gift for him. Complete with chips and cards, this gift will 
erase his poker face and earn you a smile when he unwraps it.
Game day - What's dad's favorite sport? Hockey? Basketball? Whatever the 
sport, there's no substitute for seeing a live event. Get him tickets to an 
upcoming game and watch his smile light up like the Christmas tree.
