Holiday Gift Guide 2013. Get Him This!

Let’s be honest, most gift guides out there are horrid! We’ve spend some time browsing some of them based on what we could found via Google. So we took the matter in our own hands, and made a Holiday Gift Guide that doesn’t suck! It’s basicaly a list of cool products that you can’t go wrong with, whether he’s your father, uncle, brother (even from another mother), husband, boyfriend or colleague.

We’ve seen a ton of stuff throughout the years, so we know what’s cool out there. We can recommend some cool products that aren’t on this gift guide, based on his addiction to winter sports, stylish hats, night swimming, beige sweaters or rides from the 40’s. So comment below, and we’ll do our best!
