Men are tough to shop for and when we women are clueless, we depend on the old standards. Things like ties, socks, bathrobes and flannel shirts.

According to "A Woman's Guide to Men's Gifts" these are all big "don't buys"!
So what do we add to the cart instead? Think stereotypes.

Men love TV, barbecuing, sports, cars, tools and danger. That means you can buy anything for a car and he will love it. Unless it's too "girly". Sporting event tickets are always safe, even if his team sucks. And then there are barbecue accessories or even a gigantic grill with a massive propane tank. He'll love that!

Ladies, when in doubt, do what I did last year for my Dad. Buy him the perfect toy. A cordless drill. Seriously. It's like a Tonka truck to a guy! He'll play with it for hours or until the battery dies.

Happy hunting!
