Ladies: You survived “Black Friday”. Today is “Cyber Monday”. But many, I’m
afraid, still need help gift shopping for the man in your life. Buying
gifts for men is not nearly as complicated as it is for women. Follow these
rules and you should have no problems.
Rule #1: When in doubt – buy him a cordless drill.
(It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and
he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless
drills. No one knows why.)
Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the
word ratchet or socket in it.
(Men love saying those two words. “Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?”
“OK. By-the-way, are you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?” Again, no
one knows why.)
Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car, a 99
cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his
rearview mirror.
(Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.)
Rule #4: Never buy men bathrobes.
(Once I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn’t
have invented boxer shorts.)
Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have
worn out.
(If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen TV with the little
picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and
flips.)
Rule #6: Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after-shave or
deodorant.
(I’m told men think they do not stink – they are ‘earthy’ and that is sexy.
Right.)
Rule #7: Buy men label makers.
(Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks there will be
labels absolutely everywhere. “Socks. Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock.
Sink.” You get the idea. No one knows why.)
More tomorrow. You’re welcome
