Despite my inherent love for shopping and my considerable amount of experience from it, there is certainly nothing more difficult about shopping than buying a gift for a guy. Be it for my brother, my friends, or even my boyfriend, I certainly have no idea what would be the ideal gift for them. I mean, I know what would make a girl happy … all we want is more clothes, jewelry, shoes, and bags. However, I doubt my brother would even notice if I gave him the same shirt in a different color for his Christmas or his birthday.

What do guys want? Clothes? Gadgets? Bling? My brother-in-law confessed that the only way he gets new clothes was when somebody would give him clothes for his birthday or Christmas. But I’m not sure about shopping for clothes. I tend to choose the clothes that I would wear if I were a guy. Not a good sign unless I want to turn my boyfriend into a completely different person. What can I give that would be both functional and meaningful at the same time without appearing too tacky?!

Very frustrating indeed!
