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).
Rules and how to enter:
- This giveaway starts today and ends Sunday, November 28, at midnight.
- 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.
- Winner will be contacted by email, so please use an email address you check (addresses will be hidden, and will not be used for any purpose other than contacting the winner).
Good luck!






I love giving wallets for presents, it is something that they will always use everyday and will see it everytime they use it, so I make sure I pick one up with nice leather and many plastic pockets to hold plenty of cards.
I went with nice moccasin slippers for my dad. I think it makes a good gift to most men over 50
Comfy and not too bad looking.
A great gift idea is any type of body product as most men will not shop for these items!
I usually buy my brother video games or movies as gifts. This guy is 22 and has kids, but he still can’t get enough of his games.
Monogrammed cuff links and tie clip!
Watch or cufflinks if he wears French cuffs
I find that giving men things for their car are a great gift. Their car is their baby! I bought a value pack at Target the other day. It was cheap!
I almost always buy clothes, because the men in my life hate shopping, and if I didn’t get them clothes they wouldn’t ever have any!
Anything leather: a wallet, a pair of monkstraps, or a nice jacket.
I think a wallet or a watch would be nice <3
Uhm…I’d buy clothes such as a jacket, or a shirt, and a belt would be nice too. And a wallet or a watch would also work
I think a nice smelling cologne is a good gift for men. They like to smell good too!
frist snow present by lush (:
A gameboy!
Maybe a fishing pole.
A game console with a game or two,he’d love that!
an iPod and an iTunes gift card.
Well this year I’m being an excellent girlfriend and buying my boyfriend an Xbox!!
game console or video games; grilling tools; car stuff
A Starbucks gift card
Clothes! Sometimes they have no fashion sense so a girls gotta help them out!
Omaha Steaks gift packages are always welcome and enjoyed by the men in my family!
Get him an ipod shuffle…it’s very affordable and extremely portable so he can use it to work out or exercise.
Hoodies/sweatshirts….don’t all guys wear them?
I bought a swiss penknife once… he loved it!
a new tv
Maybe a gift card so he can pick something out by himself, in a clothing or technology store?
My top 5 picks for presents for boys are parfumes, wallets, belts, shaving sets, CDs or games
Video games (if you ask friends/relatives/siblings for one’s they’d like); or funny books.
Something for his car – he sometimes pays more attention to it than he does to me!
I think that my younger brother will get a board game (strategy or expansion). But I would agree that you can’t miss with a wallet or a pair of leather gloves.
a great gift for a man is a navigation system..they never like to ask for direction and with the system they won’t have too.
I have to confess I kind of ran out of ideas! I too think it’s hard to please a man with gifts. I can say what not to do: no socks!
Depending on their fashion type, stainless steel or leather accessories is a good choice of mine. Cool studs, manly pendants, or thick bracelets!
My boyfriend is hard to shop for, so I try to make a note of things he says he wished he had, or could afford
Last year I did a holiday “treasure hunt” through my house, and in his card I made a list of things with riddles and clues. The best present he got after finding a couple tools, games, clothes, etc ended up being in the bedroom
how about a new video game? call of duty black ops
I can be very blunt and ask them what they would like as a present, that way I know that they will like what they receive. I always try to sneak in a surprise present like a nifty little gadget or a computer game as a stocking filler though.
shopping for guys is hard right? have been thinking of all the things i’ve gifted my husband. Christmas shopping for him is going to be hard as I’ve used up all my ideas already. Will probably get him a nice watch this year
Burn him a cd, he will love it b/c you made it and put thought into the songs!
A fancy shaving set.
The Art of Shaving has nice ones.
clothes, cologne, anything electronics related. Oh, and tickets to a game to see one of their fave teams play (or… and all with lots of <3
