\"Left-Brain<\/a>In the immortal words of Queen Victoria\u2026 \u201cMen are hard to shop for!\u201d<\/p>\n

Okay, okay. There\u2019s really no way to prove that one. But like every other wife or girlfriend in the history of holidays, we\u2019re sure it crossed her mind at one point or another.  The Strong-Silent-Type isn\u2019t one to gush over his wish list, and even Mr. Sensitive tends to clam up when pressed for what he really wants. Still, ladies typically approach the task of guy- gifting with an emotional, intuitive philosophy, believing their male counterparts secretly pine away for the neckties of their dreams.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know about all that, but we do believe that in order to shop for a guy, you have to think like a guy. This means using your \u201cLeft Brain\u201d, ladies… Getting downright analytical!  We took it upon ourselves to design a few simple, pseudo-scientific experiments to help Elfettes discover what their husbands and boyfriends really want this holiday season\u2026 whether they know it or not!<\/p>\n

\"\"For the Musical Man:<\/font><\/h4>\n

You\u2019d love your gift to hit the right chord, but are also having a hard time pinning-down his musical tastes. To figure out what he likes, first make a mix-tape of various options. Try to cover as many genres as possible. Since it\u2019s pretty much proven that no guy can keep his hands off his girlfriend\u2019s radio on a road trip, go for a long drive and pop-in the tunes. Observe which bands he flips through and which ones he\u2019ll let ride. You\u2019ll sort out his favorites in no time!<\/p>\n

For the Scented Stallion:<\/font><\/h4>\n

Can\u2019t decide which cologne is a musk-have? Get a few free sample cards at the department store and take them home. Rub each specimen vigorously on a different shirt in his closet. (Try to keep it a controlled experiment by choosing identical or similar-looking shirts.) Give the cultures a few days to mature, then sit and wait to see which shirt (and which scent) he\u2019s compelled to wear first\u2026 You’ll have a winner!<\/p>\n

\"\"For the Late Sleeper:<\/font><\/h4>\n

Shopping for PJ\u2019s, but not sure if he wants flannel or fleece? Try to coax it out of him in his sleep. Whisper sweet nothings of natural fibers and poly-cotton blends into his ear, and see how he responds to each suggestion. If he\u2019s not much of a sleep talker, establish a code to decipher his answers (one snore for \u201cYes\u201d, two snores for \u201cNo\u201d.) On Christmas morning, he\u2019ll think his pajamas were custom-made!<\/p>\n

For the Bookworm:<\/font><\/h4>\n

Knowing what he\u2019ll read next is like trying to pick his fantasy football team\u2026 It\u2019s a highly personal, sensitive subject. To make an educated guess, however, see what he\u2019s got on his shelves right now. Distinguish his favorite authors by quantifying their frequency on the ledge. Now, in selecting a gift, do not make the mistake of choosing another title by the most popular writer.  Rather, use that information to research other authors similar to the ones seen on his shelf. This can be done on any search engine easily.  But if you want to feel just a little more empirical, simply plug in the name to this uber-scientific database<\/a> on similarauthors.com! Then buy your guy a \u201cstarter collection\u201d of his new favorite author\u2019s work. When he finally reads these well-picked publications, he\u2019ll doubtlessly applaud your obscure taste in literature!<\/p>\n

For the Techie:<\/font>\"\"<\/h4>\n

There may be some jaw-dropping advances in modern technology, but you can always fall back on good old-fashioned reverse psychology to help you pick the perfect gadget for your sweetie. While watching television, or flipping through seasonal print ads together, be overtly (and vocally) critical of every must-have item you see. Don\u2019t hold back! Lambaste that cool knew Smartphone\u2026 Let the handheld wireless reading device really have it\u2026 Make the big-screen 3-D television set feel like it\u2019s about an inch tall! Now, you can observe without bias which item he defends most passionately. If it\u2019s worth disputing you over, you can safely deduce that he probably wants it pretty bad!<\/p>\n

There you have it.  The Left-Brained mentality above will certainly prove practical when shopping for your handsome Honey Bunny. But it\u2019ll also give you a leg-up in the Lumberjack Jamboree <\/a>when Elf Week pops up on the calendar.<\/p>\n

Still, if all this thinking like a guy just makes you want to light a scented candle, log onto Elfster.com and set up your own wish list!<\/a><\/p>\n
