present buying for boys will remain one of life's mysteries. just as we may never know what exactly martin margiela looks like or whether the big bang was behind the creation of the earth (okay, okay, it pretty much was..) I am of the opinion that boys shall never cease to be so carefree and so laidback and downright tricky when it comes to present buying. I gawp at the thought of how I can continue to come up with original gift ideas for my Father for the foreseeable future (especially when they're met with a shrug and 'thanks, though you really needn't have..') Alas, I have wracked my brain and these are the fruits of my labour, a hearty american chocolate bar, a graphic tee shirt, a book of poetry by bukowski and a prickly little cactus to match (in my experience) their prickly present receiving disposition.
'great moments of the 20st century' tee shirt by print liberation, potted cactus from ikea, jw anderson woven belt from liberty, henri vibskov socks from asos, hersheys 5th avenue chocolate from cybercandy, wesc foldable headphones from asos, initial mug from liberty, mini fjallraven backpack from fjallraven, days away like horses, charles bukowski poetry from amazon from cybercandy.

Great list! Love the belt!!!
guys are the worst to shop for.
my guy is so picky and he just says "nothing" when i ask him what he wants. bukowski books are a good idea.
very helpful! xo
at least your dad isn't demanding a mulberry man-bag. I WISH I could just be getting him a cactus (which by the way is highly original).
I love those socks !
My boyfriend would love those headphones. :D
