When I asked your most-desired Tartan Tale items, brush sets were a common answer. So this week I’m giving away A Lady and Her Tricks Buff and Line brush set, containing the 168 angled blush brush (or contouring brush), 187 duo fibre or “skunk” brush, 209 eyeliner brush, 219 pencil brush, and 252 eyeshadow brush (pictures here).

- This giveaway is open to readers anywhere in the world.
- You may enter once per day.
- A winner will be selected at random from the valid entries.
- Gifts for women are easy (I basically just shop for myself), but gifts for your husband or boyfriend (or male cousin!) can be oh-so-hard. To enter, leave a comment on this post. Tell me a great mens gift idea.

Good luck!






For an expensive gift – personalised cuff links.
My perfect gift for my geek of a man, is something special/limited edition/old/hard-to-get-item for his beloved hobby Dungeons&Dragons, Star Wars etc. =)
If your man has a hobby, that does not involve you in any way, he knows to appreciate your gift to him!
- Love from Norway =)
A movie with movie-topic related additional gifts.
his favorite cologne is a must
stress relief, pampering, and even some rejuvenation is something everyone, including MEN crave… so, a SPA gift certificate would be a perfect gift…
One of my bf´s items on his wishing list is this cure little one, which I will give him

A good gift for guys is cologne! (My better half always smells delicious!)
a lacoste sweater.
I find shopping for men hard too but I think it is easy to get chocolates or his favourite bottle of bourbon as a gift that he would love.
Ted Lapiduis perfume
When buying a gift for men, I like to add something sweet – it can be chocolate, Belgian pralines…, depending on his taste. In case he doesn’t like that much his “main” present, this will improve the impression.
any ps3 or xbox game!!! keep him entertained for hours.
Fragrance gift set
Ooh! Ooh! This year I have a good idea. If your guy is the cooking type, get him a good knife set. That’s what I’m telling my parents to get for my husband this year — they never know what to buy him, but I think this gift will be a hit!
Gift cards – especially for food
I think tickets to his favorite sport event would be great!
Gift cards to his favorite store are always a safe way to go.
A puppy!!!!!!!
My husband loves to get video games.
Years ago, I gave an ex-boyfriend a money clip. He loved it!
Anything to do with his fave hobby…I put sports trading cards in my hunny’s stocking.
my guy would probably like a new car
gift him with personalized accessories (key holders, pens, etc)
Sodastream home soda maker lol. not for drinking soda like coke, but more because in my family we love seltzer water.
An Android phone!! I just got one for my husband & he is in LOVE with the darn thing. On second thought…..maybe it is not the best gift after all as it might take the place of spending time with me!
A mini fridge full of his favorite beer.
mmh. frist snow present (lush)
tickets for his favourite football team/ band
a romantic weekend for your bf/ husband
An iPod! They can use it all the time.
iphone 4
iPad
any game console will generate a smile
Either a purfume or a gadget…!!
I think that getting a men clothes is always very appreciated. They often don’t know what to buy themselves and will appreciate knowing that you will like what you wear when they wear what you bought them
A lot of my ideas have already been mentioned… of course it depends on the kind of guy we’re talking about. I like to go with the gift certificate route if it’s someone platonic or picky, whether it’s to The Big Auto Store, Home Depot, the liquor store or whatever. Someone I know a little more intimately might get a nice bathrobe, a certificate for a nice dinner and maybe a hotel room to have our own special night *wink* One year I gave my brother a to get a real nice shave, old school where they lather you up with a brush and all that, then give you a hair cut. He really liked it.
They don’t call my husband Chef Hambone for nothing. He is an awesome cook and always looking at new grills. That will be his gift this year and a great way to get him to cook more often!
This year a gas grill. Also American made Woolrich items socks, fleece, etc.)
My son wants a RICE COOKER! I think we have a future chef in the making
Happy Thanksgiving!
a good present that I go with every year is just their favourite cologne set, which others have also said
I think that a day in a hotel with breakfeast, lunch and a spa (including massages scheduled throughout the day) is a pretty nice idea for relaxing.
Men that says it’s too girly is because thay have never done it before. Once they do, they’ll love it!
a tool set could be a good choice
Uhhh I say maybe some hardware if they’re into building stuff? I’m bad at picking gifts for men since my boyfriend typically just tells me what he wants
Sexy underpants
Video games. Bought my husband Guitar Hero set for this birthday.
My bf just got the iPhone4, so a great gift would be those gift cards to the apple on line store.
Men love electronics so I suggest the latest phone, or an iPad, or an iPod, or flat screen.
A gift voucher for his fav electronic store.. so he can buy accessories for his phone, laptop, etc
give him cuff links bling, perhaps.
My boy loves it when I give him clothes, I know his sizes by now and pick him something nice, and that’s another small shopping trip he is not going to have (he hates shopping sooo much)!
An ipad, maybe split among family members, as it’s not cheap
Her gift , it’s me of course ….
Thanks
