I hate buying gifts for men. It just seems so impossible. Matt is worst of them all because half the time I find my presents are being squirrelled out of the house straight for a charity bin. They say charity starts at home, but how about loving my gift. So I'm problem solving guy presents today. Hooray for all womankind!
Let's go shoppers. 
A small balloon speaker for mobile phone or iPod. Around $75 from GeekStuff4U
I really love Aesop. They're Melbourne based, but so very cosmopolitan. Get your man friend this 'Barber of Seville' kit to put his best face forward. Aesop $80

I went to Uni with Lister and attended his first exhibitions, so I find it hard to take him seriously! Isn't that terrible? Same as an old friend is now a published writer, I'm not detached enough to judge!

So hard buying for Keith too....And the Jamie suggestion would not go down at thsi joint: Jamie is his NEMESIS. But that soft soft tee shirt has given me a good idea . Who can refuse to love a good tee shirt? Maybe with a secret little love tag added inside?
Thanks for the fab lists.
Ugh, men are impossible to buy for! That speaker is a great idea though!
Thanks for more ideas Ms Lexi, you are the woman in the know fo shiz.
Yeah, I FAIL at presents for my man. I think out of all these years about 2 have hit the mark - and one of those he chose himself. I stress at his brithday and Christmas. I got so stressed one year I even forgot his birthday - and I'm never, ever, going to be forgiven for that one, sleep-deprived, brain-addled by breastfeeding and overwork, hiccup.
But the i-phone gadget could be the go this year?... Thanks for the suggestions Lexi.
I have been loving having you as our personal shopper.
You have a great ideas. Men are hard!!
I wonder if Jamie would care to be gift wrapped under our tree instead of his book? I love that messy haired little slapper.
