Guy-To-Guy Gift Giving Ideas

Fri. December 8, 2000

New York, NY - Your girlfriend expects something expensive. So do your parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces and nephews. Even your dog walker, paper deliverer or postman gets a little something extra for Christmas. But there is one group of people in your life whom you tend to ignore at holiday time - your pals. Those guys who help you make it through the year. The guys who help you make it through the playoffs, the heartbreaks and the pub crawls. So instead of a "high five," a slap on the back and a "Merry Christmas" - why not get them something they are sure to enjoy? Something that lets them know how much you cherish their friendship. Here are five guy-to-guy gift suggestions that are good enough to give the best of pals, your brother or even your brother-in-law. These gifts come highly recommended from a discerning panel of men from ages 25 - 35 and can be found online and in retail stores during the holiday season:
