Meurisse Belgian Chocolate Bars
For chocolate connoisseurs, like me. It's a mix of dark and milk chocolate with names like Puff Quinoa & Pink Pepper Dark Chocolate, and Himalayan Salt Dark Chocolate. It's all so unique and almost too pretty to eat. $9 ber bar.

Bourbon Infused Coffee
100% Arabica beans are made in small batches, and infused with just a touch of bourbon flavor from Kentucky. It actually contains no alcohol. Perfect for a cup of after dinner conversation! $22

Hermes Apple Watch Band
Apple Watches are great, but let's face it, those bands are pretty mundane. A man of style or a watch collector would just love an Hermes band. The orange is iconic Hermes, but you will find other colors, too.

Fleece Shawl Cardigan
GQ has named this brand one of the 12 best clothiers for men. I can see why. Here you will find elevated basics. Is this a sweater or a sweatshirt? It's fleece lined, and found under 'sweatshirts.' Mr. Shop This approved, and available in 3 colors. $248

Give your guy the chance to bulk up at home without traipsing to the gym. This set is adjustable and perfect for at home strength training. $70

Paul Smith Cotton Stretch Boxers
Okay, so there is nothing too exciting about new boxers, unless they are these. British designer Paul Smith has decked these out in his iconic and stylish stripes. They offer more pizazz that your average undies. Now on sale for $30 the set.

Barefoot Dreams Men's Hoodie & Pant
Why should women have all of the cozy chic? He will love the softness and warmth of these pieces for lounging. They are easy like Sunday morning. Price varies by style. Tops & Bottoms sold individually.
