Christmas Wish List
Two Front Teeth – Too lispy.
Hula Hoop – Not so hip.
Hippopotamus – Shipping and handling alone would sink you.

And have you seen how prices have exploded for a partridge in a pear tree? With just 12 days left until Christmas finding a gift for your true love, or actually any man on your list, has you on the point of panic. (hmmm… Point Panic on DVD?)

We’ve got you covered with our list of great gift ideas for guys, including the cost of getting it here by Christmas.

Upside: that old PVC pipe that sat in the closet is now your cool new table. Downside: he gains justification for hoarding all that old construction crap.

Sure, he already has a head. But is it full of premium vodka distilled from pristine glacial waters in Canada and filtered through 500-million-year-old crystals?

Crystal Head Vodka, $49.99. Available at Foodland Beretania, Whole Foods, The Wine Stop, and other local retailers.

A luxuriously close shave, temple massage, hair cut, and even a Mani/pedi isn’t so girly when it comes with an ice-cold beer and a Laz-E Boy.

You really just want to wrap the whole search up, so send him a Wantful catalog. You pay a flat price, pick a selection of delish eats, luxurious grooming tools, cool accessories and gadgets to go into his gift catalog. All he needs to do is choose which prepaid present he wants.
