Are you stumped for gift ideas for the guys on your shopping list? Or perhaps you are just too busy to go shopping? Instead of racking your brain for some unique or original gift, why not go for something more practical? I am always thrilled to receive practical gifts, especially when it comes to something I use or wear regularly. I have come up with six practical gifts any guy will be sure to appreciate.
1. A Classic Blue Dress Shirt

A classic blue dress shirt is a must have in every guy's wardrobe. It is always appropriate and extremely versatile, and can be worn with about everything from casual outfits to business-elegant suits. And it compliments most skin tones.
2. Lounge Pants

There is nothing I love more than lounging around the house on weekend mornings drinking my tea or coffee and reading the paper (on-line of course). On such mornings pajama/lounge pants are my favorite thing to wear.
3. T-Shirts / Undershirts

Not all t-shirts/undershirts are the same and finding the right style and fit can be a challenge. It's almost like trying to find that perfect pair of jeans. There are so many things to consider such as the quality of cotton, the cut, and whether or not you want some stretch. I have put together a list of my favorite men's t-Shirts/undershirts, and I'd be surprised if you didn't find one on this list that is right for you.
4. A Shave Kit

I took a survey asking the men I know about the type of shaving products they use. I was stunned to find out how many use drug store shaving foams and such - we are talking most if not all. Unacceptable! Skin needs to be treated with more TLC. Thus I have determined that shave kits make great gifts for guys whether it's for you or actually for someone else.
5. Sunglasses

There is no accessory quite like sunglasses. You can be wearing sloppy clothes but a great pair of sunglasses can turn your look, or lack of one, around. Check out some of my top picks in men's sunglasses, some of which are expensive and some that are not. Either way, these men's sunglasses are still stylish.
6. A Classic Billfold Wallet

A classic bi-fold wallet is a gift any guy will appreciate. This classic billfold wallet is made with full grain cow leather. It also comes in a gift box.
