Holiday Gift Ideas by Personality: For the Men

Now that I have given my top holiday gift ideas for the ladies (see "Holiday Gift Ideas for the Ladies in Your Life"), it's the guys' turn.

THE ROMANTIC

If your man loves to snuggle up at night with soft music and candles, and doesn't mind NOT smelling like a sweaty locker room, the Te Quiero, Papi gift set ($56.95) from Carol's Daughter is the perfect way to get him (and you) in the mood.

The set comes with shaving lotion, fragrant hair oil and a set of Sandalwood & Vanilla shea souffle, eau de toilette and bar soap. The sexy mixture of East Indian sandalwood and vanilla is sweet, yet masculine.

THE COMEDIAN

For the buddy who's always hee-hawing at the likes of SNL or Mad TV, scoop up one of my favorite sketch comedy shows from across the pond.

Little Britain, a completely insane and hilarious sketch comedy show from -- you guessed it -- Britain has some of the best comedic performances I've seen in a long time. This complete set ($74.88) features the first three seasons of the show plus two live performances.

If British humor isn't his thing, the DVD collection of latest season of Family Guy is always safe (and in good taste).

THE COMIC BOOK GEEK

If Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman somehow come up in the every conversation you've ever had with your dorky co-worker, he'll totally flip over "Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross." ($13.95)

Alex Ross, dubbed the "Norman Rockwell of comics," is a renowned cartoonist who captures the heart and strength of these and other classic DC Comics heroes. The book features never-before-seen sketches drawn by Ross himself, plus personal insights into his artwork. Super geeks, like me, will even appreciate the foreword, which was written by M. Night Shyamalan.

THE SUPER TECHIE

Yes, everyone has an mp3 player these days, but super techies wouldn't mind having a few more -- one for the car, one for the gym and one as a back-up in case of any malfunctions.
