Some of you are probably still enjoying Thanksgiving, and some of you are putting on your running shoes to hit the sales that start tonight. I am an armchair shopper. I love sitting in front of my computer with a cup of tea (or glass of wine depending on the time of day) and searching for the perfect gift for my loved ones. If you like shopping from home as I do, or if you’re a last minute shopper (save this post!), I have lots and lots of great gift ideas for you in the coming weeks. I know how difficult it can be to shop for a guy, so here is my holiday guide for men’s gifts. Happy shopping!
