I’ve been on a gift-giving spree since the start of this month. What can I say? December brings out the Santa Claus within me. And since I have a lot of men in my life (ain’t no surprise there, really), I got quite a bit of dope on what gifts they really want for Christmas. And interestingly enough, men are pretty good at knowing what to ask for. 

If You’ve Known Him For 3 Months Or Less… 

You barely know him, really. Just that you seemed to get along perfectly well since the start and you see him and you being great friends for a long time… but, let’s just focus on the now. 

Alcohol Selections 

Choose from the best selections of wines or whiskeys to present to your new friend this Christmas. Here’s a few options I really liked.

Dessert Selections 

Every guy is a dessert guy; even the one who’s chosen the gym over the German bakery near your house. It’s. As. Simple. As. That. Bruh!

If You’ve Known Him For 3 to 6 Months… 

You have a deeper understanding and a potentially lifelong friendship brewing. Also, you know each other pretty well enough to know what pisses the other one off and what doesn’t. 

Accessories 

I’m talking tie pins and cuff links and maybe a male bracelet to commemorate your friendship, if that’s the kind of cheesy thing you’re into.

Books & Stationary 

This one is usually the safest one for any guy out there. Men have a penchant for hoarding stuff that looks good—yep, it works almost the same way they treat women—and so, by default, they have a thing for swanky stationary.

If You’ve Known Him From 6 Months to 1 Year 

You’re in each other’s comfort zones now. You don’t just know what pisses each other off; you know exactly HOW to get on one another’s nerves because, why the hell not?!

If You’ve Known Him More Than A Year 

You’re officially living out of each other’s houses, or bean bags, or bachelor pads, or whatever it is that you live in. You know the *** you’ve had—both bad and good—you know about the girl he’s trying to date and he knows about the nasty way your ex just dumped you. You’re frigging bros! You’re so thick you almost share boxers… Let’s just thank God you don’t.
