HoneeBee Gift Guide: Gifts for HIM

The HoneeBee Gift Guide is here to help you pick out the perfect gift for everyone on your list. This sweet guide will include a few gift ideas for your mother, your hubby, the little ones and everyone in between.

This one's for the guys....


FOR HIM:


This leather money clip by Bosca is simple yet elegant. It fulfills its purpose in a sophisticated way. Enough said.  



This cashmere sweater by J CREW is an investment piece and will look great year after year. It comes in various colors including "the basics" like black, gray and navy but extends its color palette with surprising options like heather peacock (shown above).



Nike has done it again with LunarGuide+ 3.  The site speaks of its plush cushioning and enhanced support and reviews seem to support its claims. This would be great for an active guy.



There's something about the right timepiece on a man, isn't it? This stainless steel stunner is from the Invicta Men's  II Collection and can match a suit with ease...and shake up any casual look too.

If food is the way to a man's heart, I think music comes close behind. Give your guy the gift of music with iTunes but don't stop at a gift card. Take it old school, with a modern tech twist by creating your own playlist for your him. Just go to iTunes, purchase a gift, pick your songs and iTunes will send him an email alert about the gift, which then allows him  to download the music to his very own device or  an iTunes library.

Bzzz: I'd like to give a special thanks to all my guy friends that helped me out on this one. I wanted to be sure I was going in the right direction:) I must say that guys are so easy going when it comes to gifts!

Gift Tip #31: Watches

First of all...so sorry for my hiatus! I won't bore you with excuses but I will try my best to be better with posting! NOW ON TO THE POST:)

Year ago watches used to be a part of my everyday then for one reason or another I stopped wearing them. Now, I'm jonesing for a new one. They can be used for their original purpose of telling time but I have been noticing them used as a fashion piece, intertwined between bracelets--so chic. Watches are a nice holiday present...something that takes time to pick up, has a great price point and there are so many options. Here are a few...

Casio Women's Classic Analog Watch-Silver $29.99

Anne Klein Black Leather Wrap Watch $65.00

Michael Kors Golden Runway Watch with Glitz $250

Here are a few tips on how to pick the right watch:

• Think about why you want a watch? Basically is it more for fashion and/or function. Will you use it to add pizazz to an outfit, will you wear it during water sports?
• Determine how much you want to spend. You should know your price point before you start shopping.
• Consider the life span of the watch, maintenance needs and resale value.
