FOR HIM:
1. Wallets, watches and belts are a few men’s accessories your gentleman will rarely think about replacing. Luggage is also something to keep in mind with this kind of fellow.
2. For the boyfriend with a taste for the outdoors, consider trying the Northface Khumba vest, Columbia Men’s Fast Trek II ½ zip fleece pullover and any MSU Drake products. Smartwool new classic rib socks and the Patagonia lined beanie can keep your honey cozy for the holidays.
3. The athlete will appreciate an Adidas Sideline Swagger jacket from Campus BookMart or a hat from The Lodge. An MSU banner could fit in an apartment or dorm room quite nicely while showing that Bulldog spirit. For most sportsmen, a girlfriend cannot go wrong with anything maroon.
4. If the special man in your life has a tech streak, help him expand his collection of video games with some great new additions, including “Assassin’s Creed III,” “Call of Duty Black Ops II” and “Halo 4.” Don’t forget the iPhone 5.
5. For the hard to shop for, thoughtfulness is key. A framed photo of the two of you or a personal coupon book containing things such as, “good for one tank of gas” or “one free laundry folding” will be sure to give him a little grin.
FOR HER:
1. Some girls are known for having lengthy wish lists, but it is possible to make them happy. Renaldo bracelets are a must-have this year. Ralph Lauren polo hats, Lilly Pulitzer phone cases and Vineyard Vines make-up bags are also good options.
2. For the girlfriend with an adventurous side, consider getting her an eno, smartwool gleaming seedling socks or a winter scarf.
3. Your sporty sweetheart can never have too much Bulldog gear. MSU sweatshirts, Tervis Tumblers and a sports watch are good ideas. Pajamas are also a creative go-to.
4. Electronics for your sweetie may be pricey, but they are worth the splurge. Bose headphones, GPS systems, the Kindle Fire and the iPad Mini are at the top of the technology chart. “Just Dance 4” is also a season favorite this year.
5. For the hard to shop for, try a candle. The scent will soothe your boo-thing and help her unwind from exams.
