Shopping for men can be difficult, especially if you have an imaginary boyfriend. What do you get the man who has everything, including invisibility and three middle names? But enough about Brian Aaron Joe Peter Johnson III. He won’t be with me this holiday season because he’s building our dream house in Bali/The Moon. But there are plenty of men out there who aren’t that busy or fortunate and need stuff like shoes and coffee filters. People like my brother and step-dad, both of whom receive more socks per holiday than anyone with two feet actually needs. I searched a few items for this gift list and opted to start with a bold sweater choice. Normally I like simpler stuff, but I think that a man who can wear a snowflake sweater is a man who probably enjoys hot cocoa, is sensitive and/or is willing to let other people dress him. And it’s Pendleton: Every man’s “get out of jail free card” for questionable patterns.
