2017 Holiday Gift Trends for Men
What are the top 2017 Holiday Gift Trends for Men? Why, here they are:
1. Classy Carafes & Decanters for the Home Bar
Maintaining a home bar that is both well-stocked and classy is a trademark of masculinity. The ideal bar or minibar will contain some classic spirits such at scotch, rum, gin, or wine. Each type needs to be well-cared for to maintain peak flavor, and part of that involves using the proper glassware to store or serve in your home bar. And it shows that special touch of care and consideration when it's personalized:

6. Vintage Decor Made Just for Him
Man Caves are still cool, but to stay current with 2015 holiday gift trends for men, your guy's man cave will need a niche twist. For some it's a specific sports team, a nerdy Star Wars/Green Arrow/Revolutionary War/Eurogames theme, or a favorite brand of spirited beverage. Personalization is in, and so is vintage. So if you can combine niche + personalized + vintage, you'll have a real winning gift on your hands.
