The 2013 Anvil aprooved gift list.

The mall is packed out, websites are having mad sales to get to your attention and more than likely the people that where shoping for you have no idea what to get you, I dont really know why but for some reason is the men in our lives that are particularly dificult to shop for. They either end up with ill fitted clothing that they are never going to wear or with some shaving gizmo that hopefully will never touch the sacred bush growing on their faces. So what to do? Well in all honesty, communication is the answer,  ask what they want and actually get that or something with in your budget that is similar. That how ever might still not be enough because honestly alot of times we men have no clue what we want.

 To help with that I have composed a list that should please just about any type of men in your life, so get ready to see bushy faces grin, mod men drop their jaws and even the serious introvert crack a smile when they open these afordable and accesable gifts.
