Gift Inspiration - My Readers' Favorite Things

By Daniel Billett, About.com

As I get older my family continues to grow which means my gift list gets longer and longer for graduations, birthdays, the holidays, etc. And sometimes even I need a little gift giving inspiration. But not long ago when thinking about gifts for the guys in my life, I turned to my readers to find out what their favorite things are, and what a surprise. Here we have some great stuff that's reasonably priced and which also make perfect gifts.

1. The Norelco Bodygroom

Few body hair trimmers are designed to protect sensitive body areas from nicks and cuts like the Norelco Bodygroom. Shaving your most sensitive areas can be a delicate exercise, and I'm sure any man who "manscapes" or trims/shaves his body hair has had an unpleasant experience with nicking and skin irritation, or just gets frustrated with how much time it can take. But this rather affordable body groomer does the job well and much quicker.

2. MenScience Advanced Face Lotion

This ultralight, oil-free moisturizer absorbs right away and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or looking shiny. Definately one of my favorite light lotions.

3. MenScience Daily Face Wash

This liquid cleanser improves your complexion with glycolic acid, salicylic acid, allantoin, aloe, and urea. And it can be used on sensitive skin.

4. MenScience Microfine Face Scrub

This is a simple and effective scrub. It hass Glycolic and Salicylic acids which will leave your face smooth and help you get rid of ingrown hairs.

5. John Varvatos by John Varvatos

This is the most popular fragrance according to my readers. A friend who wears this fragrance said the dry-down is to die for and that he receives many compliments when he wears it. More of a winter fragrance, the key notes are: Medjool Date Fruit, Tamarind Tree Leaves, Coriander Seed Templar, Clary Sage Flower, Indian Ajowan, Auramber, Leather essence.

6. 2(x)ist Contrast Contour Pouch Brief

I have been wearing this brand for years. They are comfortable, they wash well and they last a long time. They are a great basic brief. If you like briefs, give them a try.

7. 2(x)ist Contrast Square Cut Tank Top

This is a modern update to the classic tank. It is form fitting and has a square shaped neckline. This is a popular tank.
