Holiday Helper: The Luxe List ~ For Him

( Via: Ralph Lauren }

Why is it men never need anything? Mr. Shop This has socks on his list. Not very exciting. I much prefer to treat him to something luxurious, something he didn't even know he wanted. That's what this luxe list is all about. The element of surprise. The unexpected. From the very best boxers made,  to a seat of his own, these "not always practical" picks will make his day.

Cashmere Cool

Because Ralph Lauren designs for all types of men. This cashmere sweater is simply striped with style. From the purple label collection at

This Is Not A Drill
I know. I thought it was too. Instead it's a hand held massager for all of his aches and pains. In actuality, it's a gift for you, too, if you are the at home masseuse. It's a perfect gift for single guys, too. The gift of helping oneself....priceless!

The Time Of His Life

Up In His Grill

Well Suited

From Porsche design, the garment bag that works on planes, trains, and of course roadsters. Its' metal frame keeps the suit inside neatly safe and secure. It's a luxury that Porsche owners will understand.

Get Carded
They say that accessories make the man. This colorful case will make your man ever so stylish. Luxe in leather, it's a perfect cover for his black card.
Moda Operandi

Vested Interest
The guys in my life love their vests. They wear them as outerwear, under coats and blazers, and just alone with a shirt or sweater. The Peter Millar reversible vest plays double duty, which is a luxe idea.  One side is quilted, and the other is the softest fleece. He will love the two gifts in one.

Tool Time For Techies
One of the finest tech accessories that I have seen anywhere. All of his tech needs are zipped up in one luxe case. Other handsome color combinations are available. Personalize it for free.

Ready For Action
This is for the guy seeking action and adventure, on the sidelines.  There's nothing quite like having your own seat in a crowd. He'll use this at the kids soccer matches, tailgating, fishing, and other outdoor activities. And when the fun and games are over, he can just fold up his chair and carry on with the adjustable shoulder strap.
