Ok ladies, this is for your man. I know my boyfriend is the hardest person to buy gifts for, so I can only imagine that this would be a perplexing question for any lovely lady looking for the perfect present.

I don't think he needs another bottle of whisky, and I can't get my hands on a bottle Pappy Van Winkle anyways, so what's a girl to do? Well, here are a few gifts for the traveling adventurer type -- the kind of things he needs, but would never buy for himself. When it comes to gifts, quality is better than quantity. Better off getting one really nice present you know he'll love, rather than watching him fake smile about another pack of socks and t-shirts. These gifts are definitely the surefire way to put a real smile on your man's face, and have him feeling dapper as ever!

Founder Gavin Hoffman just wanted a well-made, casual loafer that he could throw on and wear for work, traveling, dining with his wife or even watching football. Well, Gavin, you have accomplished all of those things by creating Austen Heller. These are not your average loafers. Forget those designer kicks, it's all about the quality and style right? Austen Heller shoes are made in a family-run factory in Europe, and the price is a mere fraction of those in the shoe department at Bergdorf's. The new Penny Strap loafer has just launched, and I suggest you snag a pair immediately and have something to be happy about marking off your holiday list.
