1. Printed back-up battery for iPhone. This item is sold exclusively at J.Crew and retails for $39.50. It comes in some pretty cool colors specific for men and women. The back up battery charges in your computer then holds the charge until you need it. It can go with you anywhere! (Only compatible with the iPhone 3G/4/4s).
2. Sports/concert tickets. Specifically for any man who's single or any female going through a break up. Tickets are cool because you can order two and go along, so in a way you're treating yourself.
3. SoundDock® digital music system by BOSE. This fancy iPhone/ iPod docking station is portable. It offers a powerful sound, and reviews say it's a must-have for anyone who loves to listen to music on an iPhone or iPod. It's generously priced at $179.95 at BOSE.com. You definitely want to add this to your Christmas wish list.
4. A classic blazer. You can wear a blazer with anything, but do you have one that's sufficiently versatile? A classic timeless piece you'll have for the rest of your life? Probably not. Why not ask for a blazer that you can wear all year around, one that's going to last. Most major department stores sell blazers. Stop in your local Macy's, Dillard's, Nordstrom, or Saks.
5. Cologne/perfume. You can never go wrong with the latest cologne/perfume trends. Right now the top three male scents are Blue De Chanel by Chanel, Dolce & Gabanna's 'Light Blue,' and Yves Saint Laurent's L'Homme Libre. For ladies the top three selling perfumes are Juicy Couture's 'Viva La Juicy,' Lady Gaga's 'FAME,' and the classic 'Tommy Girl,' by Tommy Hilfiger. Most fragrance bottles come in gift sets. Depending on how your budget looks, you might find it better to get the gift set since you'll usually get more for your money. Most gift sets come with lotion/aftershave, and during the holidays, most stores include a designer bag for free with your purchase.
6. L.L. Bean Auto Aid in a Bottle. Whether you're planning a road trip or staying close to home, this cool kit gives you peace of mind with the safety essentials you'll need in an emergency. A durable 32 oz. water bottle holds a forever flashlight (no batteries required), utility knife, screwdriver, digital tire gauge (batteries included), safety flasher, a reflective vest and a carabineer key chain. A water bottle with a stainless-steel cap is made of virtually indestructible, BPA-free copolymer and won't retain flavors. This is a great gift to just leave in your trunk or a drawer in case an emergency happens.
7. 80s retro iPhone case. This will turn your iPhone into a cool old fashioned and iconic 'brick' phone! The case is compatible with both iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and offers fun protection against bumps and scratches. If you're looking for some funky iPhone accessories and fun retro gifts, then why not swap your boring iPhone cases for this awesomely funny Retro iPhone Case. It retails for only $9.95 at Amazon.com.
8. "What to Wear, Where: The How-to Handbook for Any Style Situation." Life is stressful, and your outfit shouldn't be. That's the philosophy behind "What to Wear, Where," the second book from the authors of the popular style guide "Who What Wear." This time Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power give readers exactly what they've asked for: specific advice on how to put together the perfect look for any social occasion. "What to Wear, Where" addresses more than 50 major social situations, explains what you should wear and what you shouldn't wear, and shows you exactly what the authors would wear. "What to Wear, Where" is loaded with practical tips and style suggestions, making it the perfect resource for anyone who wants to feel more confident about his or her outfit choices. It's your go-to guide for wardrobe advice, inspiration, and etiquette. A perfect gift priced to sell at $12.89 at most book stores.
9. Ray-ban® Original Black Wayfarer. You can never go wrong with quality sunglasses. Ray-Bans are simply the most recognizable style in the history of American sunglass wear. Since 1952 the Ray-ban Original Black Wayfarer quickly endeared itself to Hollywood, making it to the big screen and onto the faces of filmmakers, celebrities, musicians and artists. The Original Black Wayfarer can be found at any sunglass specialty shop and major department stores. Priced at $150.00.
10. Michael Kors Gold watch. Kors has a wide range of gold watches for both men and women. These watches can also be found at your local department store and retail anywhere from $250-$350.
