Under Where?
The LGBT-owned and gay-popular No Limits Underwear will replace the tighty whiteys in your house. The sexy men's trunk has an accentuated front package and a pocket that's perfect for condoms, but the sexy strappy thong is apparently its top seller. $15 and up, NoLimitsUnderwear.com
The All-in-One for Dudes
Ditch the clippers, razors, and scissors. Gillette's Fusion ProGlide Styler is a three-in-one facial hair styling tool that lets you trim, shave, and edge like a pro -- and you can even master that goatee, starburns, or Magnum 'stache in the shower because it's waterproof. Bonus gift: Gillette's Fusion ProGlide Clear Shave Gel. $19.99, Drugstore.com
Back in Black
Every Little Monster will want to get Lady Gaga's Fame, the new (and first) black eau de parfum that sprays clear and becomes invisible when airborne. It has a distinctive scent hierarchy and hints of tiger orchid and saffron. $42, LittleMonsters.com
Zippo for Nonsmokers
Zippo lighters have almost a cult following, but now even nonsmokers can get in on the fun with On the Road, the new men's fragrance from Zippo, which comes in a container shaped like a Zippo lighter. And it smells good too. $42, Zippo.com
B.Y.O.B.
Big bottles of booze are great party gifts but often inappropriate for a single person. If you want to pass along something new (or BYOB to the office party) try the new Perrier Slim Can (which comes in grapefruit, lime, and original and can be bought at Target) or Angry Orchard Hard Cider Variety Pack (a six-pack of adult apple juice that tastes both healthy and naughty). Prices vary, Target.com, AngryOrchard.com
Toys With a Twist
A naughty toy or two will make for great gifts for the bedroom. Boys will adore the Aneros Vice Prostate Massager (have you found your P-spot?) and girls will giggle over the Alice in Wonderland-inspired Kinky Kat Waterproof Vibe. Throw in some sustainable Please Cream lube and you've got a party. $8 and up, GoodVibes.com
40 Is the New 30
If you've got the dough, join women and men alike lining up for Nuvosa's Deep Wrinkle Remedy Serum, which uses hyaluronic acid technology plus DMAE and Coenzyme Q10 to ease wrinkles and fights free radicals. $98, Nuvosa.com
Hey, Doll Face
Mattel's newest collectibles are two dolls we're sure to adore: the Violet Eyes Elizabeth Taylor Barbie Doll and White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor Barbie Doll. Both dolls, which the activist actress approved before her death, have little red ribbons to remind everyone of her support of the fight against AIDS. $125 and $150, BarbieCollector.com
Smells Too Good to Eat
Aubrey Elizabeth Apothecary makes Hand-Batched Soap that looks incredibly like sushi, Oreo cookies, cinnamon buns, zombie hands, and grenades, to name a few. But her black and silver fireside-scented Gun Soaps are the perfect gift for the hipster or gun nut on your list. $6.50, AubreyEApothecary.com
Stash Your Cash
Pop culture lovers are still clamoring for Mighty Wallets, the funkiest way to carry cash and cards. With themes like Star Trek, the Warholesque Campbell's Soup, 3-Ring Binder, and comic book heroes, you'll want more than one. $15, Dynomighty.com
The British Are Shaving!
The U.K's Dreadnought offers a new line of men's toiletries that can't be missed. Try its Post Shave Balm and Luxury Shaving Cream, which contains Decelerine, a product that reduces the appearance of beard growth while also moisturizing and protecting the skin. $19, Dreadnought-Shaving.com
Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
Tried and true, but Norman Love Confections' limited edition holiday handcrafted chocolate flavors (eggnog, s'mores, white Christmas) are like delicious little art pieces. No wonder Anna Paquin and Colin Firth are fans. $13 and up, NormanLoveConfections.com
