Do you rely on men or women’s gift guides when shopping for the holidays? You might want to rethink that strategy. While gender-specific guides can be useful, not all men like ties or tools, and not all women find candles and lotion appealing. As a recent post on Reddit shows, generic gender gifts often miss the mark.

Stereotypical gifts for men include boxers, tools, watches, and cologne. However, not all men want or need these items.

“People tend to get guys power tools and cologne and boxer shorts and whatnot,” writes one male user. “But I want the same shit you were getting me when I was 15. Video games, movies, comic books, and toys. I want to rip open a present and see a Mars Attacks set of cards staring back up at me. That would be the best Christmas ever.”

Women also receive their share of stereotypical gifts, though some find “men’s” gifts much more appealing. 

“Men get electronics and interesting books and fancy liquor,” writes a frustrated female user. “Women get stinky candles and perfume, over and over and over.”

So what should you get instead? It depends on the person. Pay attention to their interests and hobbies, and try to find a relevant item you’ll think they enjoy. Think over past conversations and try to remember if they mentioned wanting or needing anything. You could also approach mutual friends or acquaintances for ideas or simply ask the person directly. Don’t just assume they’ll like a particularly item simply because they’re a man or woman.

The key to great gift giving is to put a little thought into a gift, rather than simply relying on a generic guide. Good luck!

When one thinks of top designers, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen don’t exactly come to mind (at least to me). However, the twins who got rose to stardom after playing Michelle Tanner on ABC’s Full House took home the biggest prize at the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards – Top Womenswear Designers!

"I'd like to thank you -- you," Mary-Kate, 25, said to her twin at the New York awards ceremony last week.

Coffee. Is there anything it can’t do?

Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt is the new face of Chanel No. 5, the French brand announced on Wednesday.

"Chanel has selected world renowned actor Brad Pitt to be the face of the upcoming advertising campaign for Chanel No.5," Chanel announced via Twitter.

The company declined to provide any additional details about the selection or respond to inquiries about whether Brad’s new role means a male version of the iconic perfume is in the works. Pitt will be the first man to market the fragrance.

Little black dresses don’t leave a lot of room for things like keys, credit cards, and cell phones, and dragging a purse around a party or nightclub can be a pain. That’s why two University of Washington students invented the JoeyBra – a garment that allows women to stow items in a pocket attached to the side of their bra.

“From our own personal experience, we know that women hate taking purses to dances, bars, or dance clubs,” founders Mariah Gentry and Kyle Bartlow write on JoeyBra.com. “Leaving these items at home can pose a safety risk, but with JoeyBra women will never have to worry losing or damaging their valuables again.”

Looking for a handbag that’s quirky and cool? Check out the fun bags below (not those kind of fun bags). Though the colorful bags look like they came straight out of a cartoon, they’re 100% real and fully functional. Jump From Paper is the company behind the unique products.

“JumpFromPaper is a playful and innovative line of handbags,” reads the company’s website. “Are they real? Yes they're real. Although slim in appearance, each JumpFromPaper bag has a roomy interior to accommodate an iPad/tablet, book, magazines, and your everyday accessories.”

What do you think of the bags? I love them and am thinking of ordering one of the larger sizes to use as a hipster diaper bag. More photos below.
