I happened to come across a list of top ten gifts for women and men. I call it the Macy's Christmas shopping list except it wasn't from Macy's at all, but it was very Macy's like in appeal. How many men really want a polo shirt for Christmas? I was thinking, maybe a Wii or plasma, but polos, end tables and cuff links? Get real, right?
The best present I saw that Josh would remotely want was a grill and it wasn't a masterful grill (you know, takes a master degree to use). Complete with every gadget known to mankind that could take up your entire kitchen if you let him grill inside.
Then I saw the golden lists. The, what kind of man are you so I can buy you presents for Christmas, list. Let me break it down for you:
Metro Man- Guys who lives in metropolitan areas such as NYC or Los Angeles. Has great insurance and doesn't know it. The kind of man that when he walks out his apartment, he slings a sport coat over his shoulder.
Gadget Guru- The techie. Grab your blackberries and IPods fellas cuz we're going cruising around town counting how many times the GPS is wrong.
Sports Junkie- The guy you can't imagine not being around some kind of field, rink or one of those big foam fingers.
Well-traveled Professional- Italy, France, England, and that's just what his suits are made out from. We know there is a manicure set hidden on this dignified gentlemen.
Devoted Dad- Shirts are made for you. Soccer moms can't compete with your enthusiasm for your sons sports team. Way to go, Dad!
Gourmet Connoisseur- Ah. The smell of lemon pepper chicken with a side of spinach, all placed on a fancy dish to impress the ladies. This guy is the guy you love to date, he wines and dines you then turns into Sports Junkie, Devoted Dad, or Best Gifts for Him under $25 after you marry him. Be warned ladies, be warned.
Mr. Fix-it- There are two kinds of Mr. Fix-its. The kind that can and the kind that really can't (but think they can).
Best Gifts for Him under $25- (I would like to take a moment to say that these gifts were not all under $25. There was a coffeemaker in here for $30.) This is for every other guy out there that simple, rednecked, poor, or the really smart guy who realized that everything was overpriced and could be gotten for a lot cheaper anywhere else. I mean really, a coffee pot for 30 bucks, although it is not unreasonable, sometimes you just want a simple machine with one purpose in mind: to make coffee.
I still don't know what to get Josh for Christmas.

i don't know if you can get it but on tv last night there was this new item of an army man, like Josh's army men collection, only this guy was big and he was a candle holder. there were also really cute looking bookends of elephants with raised trunks but i think they were like $40 so i am betting these will probably stay on the shelves. of course you could always just get him a whoppie cushion. those always make people laugh.
