dude gifts.

Guys are so hard to buy for. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this. So since Todd's birthday is a few weeks away, I've started stressing about what to get him. He says his favorite gifts are experiences — trips, an amazing dinner, a major league baseball game — but below are a few things I think most guys (or Todd, at least) would be happy to unwrap.

I think I might make one of these for Todd for Valentine's Day. He hosts trivia until 9 p.m. on Mondays, so it would be the perfect little romantic surprise when he got home. Pillows, finger foods, Kalimotxos ... Design*Sponge is full of the cutest V-day ideas.
