It has to be said: it just isn't as much fun to shop for men. You just never quite know what they need and even more problematic, what they really want.

While their tastes and predilections rarely change over time, shockers creep up that have you scratching your heads. And of course, there's also that usual coyness - telling you that there is nothing they want nor need - which is sweet, yes, but not helpful. Stress not, there are a few more days to go and we've got you covered. Here are 12 items we think will make great Christmas gifts for him, from that audiophile to those who love to entertain, from the smart dresser to the hobbyist. We hope this list will make this task a lot less daunting and even enjoyable!
