It’s hard to believe, but we are already into September and the holidays are quickly approaching. I don’t know about all of you, but I have already started my holiday shopping. This year I am determined to get the men on my list done first!
Here are some great holiday gift ideas for men on your holiday shopping list!
1. Sport’s Theme Gifts – If the man on your holiday shopping list is into sports, consider getting him tickets to his favorite game, a new jersey or even a fleece throw blanket. Just about any item with his team’s logo on it would be an appreciated holiday gift.
2. Wine and Beer Gifts – These types of gifts usually go over well with men on your holiday shopping list. We spotted some really cool “brew-at-home” beer brewing kits, heavy duty beer mugs and some really nice wine gift baskets hitting the store shelves this year.
3. Electronic Gifts – I know a lot of men are asking for electronics this year and these gifts include: smart phones, music players, blu-ray dvd players, surround sound systems and more! Men love their “electronic toys”.
4. Hobby Related Gifts – Does the guy on your holiday shopping list participate in a hobby? Those who are passionate about their hobbies always appreciate hobby related gifts! (Hobbies can include: billiards, golf, arts and crafts, rock climbing, fishing, hunting, etc.).
5. Fashionable Gifts – Believe it or not, men love receiving fashionable gifts like a new pair of jeans, hoodies, sport jerseys, expensive new shoes, etc. For these types of gifts, you need to know your gift recipient’s fashion tastes really well. We recommend always including the receipt in-case it needs to be returned.
6. Reading Related Gifts – Does the man on your holiday shopping list love to read? Consider getting him a gift certificate to his favorite book store, an electronic e-reader or a gift certificate to an e-book store online.
7. Travel Related Gifts – A lot of men travel for their chosen careers and that means spending a lot of time out on the road. You can select travel related gifts like luggage, carry-on bags, travel alarm clocks, shaving and toiletry kits, gift cards to nationwide restaurants and coffee houses, and more!
8. Foodie Gifts – Does the man on your gift-giving list love to cook and entertain at home? If so, consider purchasing him a few gourmet cookbooks, a manly apron, some grilling tools, small kitchen appliances or gift cards to his favorite kitchen shop!
If you find men are hard to buy for, this gift-giving list should spark some creative ideas for you!

My husband is going to be 51 years old come October and has been shaving for most of his life. He does some really weird shaving rituals that just make me laugh when I catch him doing them, like making faces in the mirror and singing when he shaves.
With all of that said, hubby has been having some really terrible issues with shaving his face for the past year and a half. You see, as he has gotten older, his skin has gotten drier and more sensitive.
The burning skin, itchy dry patches and tiny red bumps after he shaves, are just out of control. I knew I had to find some help for him since shaving has become his worst nightmare. I got online yesterday and found some great information on how to get rid of razor burn and found some information that was extremely helpful.
Here are some tips on how to prevent razor burn:
* You should never shave on dry skin. You should always use water and a good shaving cream, oil or shaving soap.
* You should always use a good sharp manual razor or electric razor. Dull razor blades can tear up your skin pretty badly and cause severe razor burn.
* You should avoid applying harsh chemical skin care creams or lotions to on your face, especially right after shaving. Those chemicals can cause even more razor burn on already inflamed skin.
* You should take your time shaving and always shave in the direction of your hair growth.
Here are some tips on how to treat razor burn:
* Once razor burn has occurred you can try a home concoction of avocado paste. (mush up the avocado and mix it with a tad of water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the razor burn area for several minutes to help soothe it).
* If you have aloe gel in the house, you can apply some of the aloe directly to the affected area.
* If none of the home remedies work for you, you can purchase over-the-counter skin care products and razor burn products to help prevent and treat razor burn.
Now that I have properly educated myself on razor burn prevention and razor burn treatment remedies, I can now help my husband overcome this obstacle in his shaving routine.
