If your looking for stuff to get guys or gals this Christmas following is a list of things that I have found over the last couple of years that I think are great and would make some fabulous gifts.
1 - ExOfficio Boxers and Briefs - These are the best I have ever found and come highly reommended. I dumped everything I had one I found these. They are not cheap but you get what you pay for. Charcoal or black please.

3 - Nalgene Narrow-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 32 fl. oz and 16 fl. oz. - I like the 16 oz. model and keep them in the frig instead of buying bottled water. Also like the new old-style canteen.
