Seven Days of Style: Toy Gifts for Your Boy

Filed under: Accessories, Men

toy gifts for your boyDon't do it. Don't put you and your boy through the same torture again this year. Yes, the torture of the Christmas sweater. Hey, you may have better taste than kelly green one with reindeer applique, but still, how many charcoal/merino wool/v-neck/crewneck/cardigan sweaters does he really need?

Right.

So in order to save you both that pain, we've put together a quick list of gifts that you can tolerate and are still toys that the boys will truly love. And by "boys," I mean any male between the ages of 1 and 101.

Sunday - You would love to get him an Enzo, you really would, but unfortunately, you've spent that cool million on some hot shoes. Go with the next best thing to a Ferrari, the Acer Ferrari laptop.

Monday - Babydoll, you've got connections. You know people. Use your juice to score a Playstation 3 for your boy. In my opinion, the PS3's casing is the closest thing you're going to get to your little black dress.

Tuesday - If he's a mature gentleman who enjoys a glass of good whiskey, the Pioneer Pure Malt Speakers are a great gift, without making you an enabler. The speakers are made from recycled 50-year-old white oak whiskey barrels.
