Top Gay Holiday Gifts
Gifts for Gay Men

By , About.com Guide

Your top gay man deserves a top gay gift this holiday season. From the least expected to the top gift honors, these gay gifts are sure to bring your man holiday happiness.

iPod Touch

For: The Digital Don

Not a fan of rollover nightmares, but want a little touch in your life? Let the kids over at Myiphonedropscallsikstan have their ill-planned exclusive. Touch your dude's heart with the new iPod Touch (basically, the iPhone without the phone). Sadly, at just 8 or 16 gigs, iPod Touch memory space is just as bad as the iPhone calling plans, but the cute-factor makes it a digital queen. As any party kid will testify: Why let memory loss get in the way of a good time?

Nintendo Wii

For: The Party Kid

Did you hear about that crunk party in the new hotspot called your living room? Shoot 'em up alien games are for kids; challenges like bowling, boxing or tennis are for adults (oh, the irony). Wii has a wide variety of favs that any gay boy can enjoy. Invite some friends over, mix a few cocktails, order in delivery and bowl until the nunchuks come home.

Love & Pride Jewelry

For: The Jewelry King

Accessorize your cute gay accessory with Love and Pride accessories. He'll adore Love and Pride's lines of sophisticated pendants, rings and necklaces. He'll also appreciate the fact that a percentage of proceeds from most of the lines are given to LGBT organizations and charities. Talk about wearing a cause!

Norelco Bodygroom

For: The Man Groomer

When it comes to food: natural is in. When it comes to gay men: faux natural is the look. Confused? Well, don't run to your nearest organic shop seeking answers. I'll explain: No one likes an out of control field, but a completely cleared patch should be left to the adult entertainment crop. The natural look is in—well-groomed areas left in their organic shape, but with, let's say, fewer weeds. The Norelco Bodygroom is the perfect trimming tool. It's made exclusively for male personal grooming, so it's curved and has protective (and comfortable) blades. That way your man can trim his tree without nicking the kiwis.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage

For: The Beauty Conscious

He may be offended when he first opens it, but he'll thank you two days later when his Geisha glow starts attracting more than a confidant. Elizabeth Arden boasts its miracle whip as the best on the market due to the main ingredient Idebenone, one of the most potent antioxidants available. Why do you need this anti-aging cream when you're only 27? It's simple, why wait until you're 87 to start battling the inevitable topographic map that will carve its way onto your smooth face? Give the gift of everlasting beauty this season.

Clique Hue HD

For: The Professional Chatter

The wonderful world wide web has never wilted when it comes to a wide wander of fun. The Clique Hue DH is perfect for the sedentary gay that prefers to snap indoor profile (I mean, studio) shots instead of landscape pics. Bring out the libertine in your Liberace with this web cam that can be twisted and turned at every angle. Shoot up; shoot down, to the side or from behind. The Clique Hue is the most versatile puter cam on the market.

TLA Video

For: The Gay DVD Lover

Our friends over at The Block don't carry gay flicks, and frankly there are stacks of independent gay DVD's that never make it to the drop-in box. Give your gay nester the gift that keeps on spinnin'. Not sure what gay go-go would like? TLA has online gift certificates that let him explore the video disco on his own.

Waffle Union Suit by 2xist

For: The Outdoor Gay

I prefer to work in my longs at home, but some gays like drudging alfresco and those waffle cone textured blue lights just won't do. Your gay man needs comfortable, sleek (and fashionable) long underwear to keep him warm as he hacks through the thick chill of the outdoors. We wouldn't want him to freeze on the way from the car to the Starbuck's entrance.

KitchenAid Artisan Series Mixer

For: The Food Guy

He loves to cook and you love to let him burn (keep up: that's slang for "throw down in the kitchen"). Your gay cordon bleu needs the most essential kitchen tool: the KitchenAid Artisan Series Mixer. This mixer was made for Martha gays. It comes in a wheel of gay colors even Crayola can't mix up... and it's one of Oprah's favorite things. Two diva references for one mixer—it's a must buy!

For Boys Only: The Biggest, Baddest, Best Book Ever!

For: The Gayling

Dare to be a boy. Your gay fav can learn how to land an airplane in an emergency, wrestle an alligator or find buried treasure. This essential you-never-know guide (written for kids) is 200 pages of pure uselessly (oh, I mean usefully) gaiety. More than likely your gay will keep it on the coffee table as a conversation starter. But you never know when he might need it to ward off a reptilian date.
