Holiday Gift Guide - for the fellas

If you're like me, you always have a hard time coming up with creative gift ideas for the guys in your life. Girls are so easy - a new bag, some perfume, wine of the month club, Jake Gyllenhaal wrapped up in a bow - the options are endless. Men, however, seem to be harder to please when Christmas rolls around. Just ask my father, who has been gifted with a pair of khaki pants every year since I was born. Every. Single. Year. Or my youngest brother, who unwrapped a hunting treestand last Christmas morning, asking "What the heck am I supposed to do with this?" while my other brother received a plane ticket to Costa Rica (sometimes Santa has his favorites). I'm here to help you avoid such awkward holiday moments with these great gift ideas for the fellas.

All you need is love. What better way to honor John Lennon on the 30th anniversary of his death than to give your music-lover husband, boyfriend, brother or father The Beatles Remastered box set. 

For the party guy, artisanal Hudson Whiskeys and Infinium Champagne Beer.

Perfect for the dog lover/owner, these Eco Balls and Bucket are so adorable and fun! Great for an outdoor game of fetch, they come in red, green, blue and pink. An added bonus? They're made with earth-friendly materials and natural dyes. I'm definitely getting these for my dad this year - he loves to play fetch with my dogs on the beach!

For the laid back surfer guy, this Everything is Rad tshirt from surf and skate company Jetty.

While you're at it, how about a stand-up paddle board and paddles?

The filtered water bobble is a perfect stocking stuffer for the eco-enthusiast. It's BPA free, refillable, reusable, can be recycled and can be used up to 300 times before the filter needs to be replaced! A no-brainer if you ask me. 

The Sane Dune Lane preferred method of transportation - a beach cruiser. The Hampton Cruiser Deluxe is comfortable and stylish and is available in tons of cool colors. Get your guy the 3-speed version and I promise you'll put a kid-like smile on his face. 

For both the traditionally preppy guy and even the more fashion forward hipster, the Barbour Sylkoil Bedale jacket from J.Crew is a British classic. He'll have it forever.

The Electric Smoke 'N Grill from The Food Network is genius! What man doesn't love BBQ? This stainless steel grill and smoker combo is not only attractive, it's super convenient. Featuring a 5-foot long electric cord, it can be used indoors and out. Perfect for cold winter nights when you're craving BBQ but don't dare venture outside to the grill.

Timeless, comfortable and utterly cool, these stylish Ray-Ban aviators now come with polarized lenses. You can't go wrong with some classic Ray-Bans.

I'll be giving this Found Beer Crate to my brother this year, filled with a sampling of brews.

For the sports fan, throw in some monogrammed beer mugs and pilsner glasses etched with logos from his favorite MLB and NFL teams.

And when all else fails, there's always khaki pants!
