The season of shopping is well underway and we thought we’d kick off our gift ideas editorials about the special man in your life. We often find it tricky to find unique gifts for men. But we think our favourite picks will stand out under the tree or in the stocking this Christmas.

DJ Dad
For the guy who loves music get him a pair of these super cool eco-friendly, foldable, self-powered speakers. He can hook up any device that has a headphone jack, including iPod, MP3 player, CD player, cell phone and computer. No batteries are required as they run off the audio device. Made from recycled materials. Available in four different styles at www.everylittlebitgreen.com.

Shave it Baby
Well into Movember, dad is most likely going to want to shave off his newly grown moustache with a Philips SensoTouch 3D Electric Shaver. Features include a new shaving cap with larger openings, catches all hairs in one stroke, wet and dry capabilities, enabling use of shaving gel for extra skin comfort with the refreshment of water, and 3D contouring that seamlessly adjusts to every curve to reduce pressure and irritation. We recently had our babyvibe dad test this new shaver. Hands down, the biggest feature he loves is that he can shave in the shower. He also finds that cleaning it is very easy. In addition to the stylish design, the Philips SensoTouch is also great for shaving under the chin and in curvy areas. Overall, a great electric shaver and a perfect gift for the man in your world. Available at major retailers across Canada.

Sentimental Dad
If your special man is sentimental and likes to have his children close to his heart, then he’ll love Aly Dahl Designs’ handmade fingerprint jewelry pieces. A favourite option for dad is the hip Military Style Dog Tag where fingerprint stamping and prints are done in a military style and can have a date stamped on the back as a military number. For the golfer, we dig the Golf Ball Marker/Lucky Coin. The double sided marker/coin is perfect for the golfing dad who will have a lucky token and reminder of his children while hitting the links. Available at silverfingerprints.ca

Ditch the Stink
Does your dad love to play hockey? And does he come home with a hockey bag full of stinky, sweaty gear? Help dad freshen up his bag with the all-natural Air Hockey spray from Nasty Free Naturals.
