Haute Last Minute Gift Guide: For Your Special Someone

Let’s face it, we are super busy. In fact, we’re so busy we’ve even forgotten to do our holiday shopping. In keeping with our fast-paced lives, it’s only on good assumption that we’ve let ourselves go, even if just for a bit. That’s why we have our boyfriends/girlfriends and husbands/wives to keep us in check.

Besides getting presents that we have on our lists, the holiday are also things that we don’t want to get for ourselves. Maybe we think it’s a splurge or unnecessary, but when a special occasion rolls around, it’s well worth it.

Let’s start with the fellas, shall we?

Gentleman, we love you. We really do, we enjoy your scruff, like taking part in your tailgating festivities (sometimes) and really, love grilling season. What we don’t love? You’re lumberjack-ness.

Yes, we get it you’re a man. You’re strong and tough and blah, blah, blah. You want a real holiday gift? No, we’re not talking about an awesome grill, or an Xbox, we’re talking about products that will pamper the hell out of you. Ever wonder why ladies love the spa? Well now, you will.

The key to a perfect smile, get the Supersmile Gift Set. It’s the most advanced toothbrush and the #1 whitening system recommended by cosmetic dentists. Sleek and comfortable to use, it’s the most powerful approach to whitening your teeth at home. The set includes an advanced sonic pulse toothbrush and the entire whitening system. Staying fresh is super sexy. http://www.supersmile.com/

A real man would have the nerve to get a facial, however, we don’t judge. Even though the feeling is so haute afterwards, we understand the idea of high maintenance might emasculate some of you. That said; why not take the facial home? With the Mia Clarisonic Skin Care System, you can get the deepest clean with its one-speed micro massaging brush, in the comfort of your own bathroom. Whether you’re prepping for a clean shave or double-checking the status of your scruff, Mia has got you covered.http://www.clarisonic.com/

This definitely isn’t frilly; in fact, it’s the key to a perfect shave. Cue the Real Shaving Company’s Evolution Collection, a four step system that will get steamed, scrubbed, shaved, and soothed in no-time. Use it on the regular for best results. What’s even better about it? You can take it on the go, as its travel sized. http://www.realshavingshop.com/

The first hint of winter is upon us is definitely chapped lips.  While most men, the ones who admit it at least, use good ol’ Chap Stick, the truth is balm does it better. Jack Black’s (no relation) Balm Squad is essential for kissable lips, perfect for mistletoe-moments. The selection includes Lemon and Chamomile, Natural Mint and Shea Butter, Shea Butter and Vitamin E and Mango and Mandarin, all with SPF 25. Hurry, as its limited edition! http://www.getjackblack.com/

Now, I know it must be hard to cope with all the ideas of being well manicured, so we’ll reward you with a nice piece. Yes, that’s right—a piece of ass. Culo, brought to you by Italian photographer Rafael Mazzuco and a man who knows what he’s talking about, P.Diddy, is a fine-tuned look into the history of the derrière and all of its glory. Just so you know, the world is no longer flat. We’re already intrigued.  http://culo.interscope.com/
