Buying a gift for the man in your life can be a difficult and daunting task. Be it your partner, your best friend, your brother or father; almost all men are difficult to buy for and not particularly helpful when it comes to offering a point in the right direction (You: "Is there anything you'd particularly like for your birthday?" // Them: "Nah, nothing really"). For the most part, boys don't lust after pretty shiny things in the same us ladies do. So where does one begin when picking a gift for the bloke(s) in her life?

Why not start with these ideas:

Something selfless
Indulge his hobbies: Playstation games, tools for the DIY type of a fella, the latest and greatest snowboarding gear, Polaroid film or a tripod for the photography enthusiast, old records or vintage art picked up from a market stall, a subscription to his favourite magazine or a flickr pro account for the onliner. A gift that says, I love you SO so much that I'll put up with your silly hobbies even though I'm so not into it like you are.

Something timeless
Show him you care with something he can keep. These are the 'classic gifts' such as a watch, leather wallet or cuff links. Get a quality make & you know you've got him a gift that will be treasured for years to com - & every time he uses it, he's going to be thinking of you.

Something for the both of you
Ok, so let's talk about your partner, Valentines Day is fast approaching & if you're loved up this V-Day, why not consider a gift that you can both enjoy? A great new scent or maybe some underwear. Tres Lola loves Whites & Smalls, they have a whole bunch of the top brands in their online store including Calvin Klein & Sloggi & they offer free UK shipping on all orders over £30! Plus, they're an undies company with a sense of humour:



Valentines day is the perfect opportunity to buy some sexy new underwear for your man and give him a gentle nudge in the right direction if you're not particularly digging his current choice of undies! Check out the Whites & Smalls website here.
