Finding the perfect gift for the men in my life has always been a difficult task. Year after year, I ask them what they want for Christmas, after which I always get the same frustrating “I don’t know” response.
Through conversations with friends, I’ve found that this is a fairly common dilemma, so I took it upon myself to ask a few random men what they’d want for Christmas.
Here is a comprehensive list of the most popular responses I received. Whether it’s for your brother, your significant other or husband, your male family members, or your best friend, I have a list of gift ideas that they’d absolutely love.
