Some people are particularly hard to buy gifts for -- and very often it can be the men in your life. Sometimes they're so practical it seems like they won't use anything they don't need, or maybe they're just not as vocal about what they might want as a gift.
We've scoured the Web to find some of the top gifts for men this holiday season, and organized them based on some different personality types.
We want to emphasize that anyone might be thrilled to receive these gifts, no matter their gender identity. But if you're looking for a gift for a guy, whether he's your husband, boyfriend, brother, dad or friend, there will definitely be something for him on this list -- whether he's the down-to-earth type or someone who enjoys the finer things in life.
