Why are men so hard to buy for? Here are some gift ideas for Christmas under $100

If you want to get him something better than a box of beer.

Buying gifts for men shouldn’t be hard—they’re simple creatures, right? Yet, I’ve found that men can be surprisingly particular about their belongings. They have their favourite T-shirts, their go-to underwear, their preferred golf balls, the list goes on... Trying to convince them to switch to something you know is better? That’s often met with resistance.

But if they’re going to be so stubborn, they might end up with no gifts at all. To avoid that scenario, I’ve rounded up a variety of present ideas that are sure to be worthy of being stylishly wrapped and placed under the tree this Christmas. And if he’s not into it, there’s a high chance you’ll find the gift useful instead.
