40 GIFTS FOR MEN
Men are so difficult to buy for. Probably because they never tell you what they want. They may make suggestions but those are always ridiculous. Here is a guide of gifts for men that you may not have thought of yourself.
These gifts are not completely wacky but they are hopefully things you have not thought of yourself and already discredited.
I really hope you find something here. If you do – please let me know. It always makes me happy to know that I’ve actually helped someone.
