Holiday Gift Guide 2012: For the Man of the House

I not-so-sheepishly confess to getting a lot of help with today’s holiday gift guide—the last in this year’s series—from my significant other, a man’s man if ever there was one. I left out the wall-mounted beer bottle opener in the shape of an open-mouthed shark, the Quentin Tarantino memorabilia with dubious authenticity, and the motorized La-Z-Boy, but his other selections made the cut, and I’m confident that you’ll find something suitable for your man herein, whether you’re looking for a gift that will spiffy up his wardrobe or one that will cozy up his man cave.
