gift guide for the dude.

i am stumped when it comes to presents for steve 90% of the time.  i mean, i let it be knowwwwn what i want.  to help a dude out when he gets 'round to his christmas shopping.  i'm doing him a favor!  but him!  i have to listen with the keenest ear to perhaps pick up on a, "oh, i liked the smell of that cologne."  or, "oh, i can't find my socket set."  the KEENEST OF EARS, people.  so, i guess the pleasure is all mine, really, when i remember these little mumblings and have actually purchased, wrapped, and gifted said item!  so, above i tried my darndest to come up with a few things that i think most men would like.  steve even helped!  

1: from beirut to jerusalem {this book is so, so good.  if your man is into politics at all, the middle east, or thomas friedman--genius!--then buy him this book.  i'm very loosely into politics, but am into the middle east, and i LOVED IT.) // 2: craftsman socket set {steve said it's a must, so?} // 3: lingerie set {yes, i meant for this to be on the guy's list cause... come on.  it's really for them.} // 4: non-iron checked shirt {non iron!  we should be thanking the shirt!  and, they're on sale right now too for an insane price for a non iron anyway.} // 5: men's camp socks {they're not cheap as far as socks go, but steve declares them the best socks ever.} // 6: boardwalk empire print from fab {a framed print with a cool design of his fave tv show?  ok!}
