Top 5 Men’s Christmas Gifts

By Sean Percival on December 9th, 2008

It’s that time of the year again – time to give a gift that counts and that will stand out from the rest. However, as everyone knows, guys are hard to buy gifts for, right? Well, in light of this dilemma, we are going to offer up our very own list of top 5 men’s Christmas gifts for the distinguished gentleman in your life. From the desk of Michael Jones we snagged a list of dozens of gift ideas and picked the top 5 that we think are winners, standing out from the crowd. After the jump you’ll find the information and links for your shopping pleasure.

#5 – Monocle X Valextra Leather Notebook

This beauty is made by Monocle along with luxury luggage maker Valextra. It serves not only as a notebook, but also as a passport holder. The exterior is a mustard color, while the edges and stitching are dark green. The construction is exemplary and elegant, and it comes in a black presentation box. Definitely not your average leather notebook.

#4 – Milano Collection Billfold and Card Case

This is another case of a common gift item, but with uncommon quality and taste. The card case comes is two colors: black with lime accents and brown with cognac accents. Both colors feature beige stitching. The card case in this set is designed to be light and easy on the go, allowing you to carry up to ten business cards, ready to pass out at a moment’s notice.

#3 – Designer Piggy Bank

OK, this one just appeals to the inner comedian in me. It’s a great functional gift, which will also provide a nice conversation piece when sitting on a bookshelf. This item comes in both gold and chrome, although I think that gold is more becoming of a bank, don’t you?

#2 – Paul Frank’s Lumberjack Underwear

Alright ladies, listen up. You want to get your man something special that he’s probably never had before? Want to make him feel special, like a lumberjack? No, this is no ordinary pair of underwear, this is Paul Frank’s lumberjack underwear. Available in both briefs and boxers, this is another gift that is sure to bring grins and functionality, although in a slightly different way than the piggy bank.

#1 – IWC Pilot Chrono 42mm Watch

This one is a timeless gift (pun intented) that will be treasured for years to come. The IWC Pilot Chrono 42mm watch is water resistant and comes with a fully functional chronograph. The case is made out of solid stainless steel with an anti-mag back cover. The beautiful white on black display is housed beneath a sapphire crystal front glass. This one makes the top of the list, because of it’s elegance, usefulness and longevity.
