Perhaps because it's lumped together with graduation (you know, the whole "dads and grads" thing), but for some reason Father's Day never gets quite as much love as Mother's Day. Still, dads deserve a great gift too, so whether he's your dad or your husband, your brother or your boyfriend, let the father in your life know he means the world to you with a cool gift made especially for him.
1. He's probably not thinking about how rough his elbows and feet are, so help him out with this body scrub.
2. Every man should own a nice pair of pajama pants.
3. Because sometimes a cold beer is essential to his happiness.
4. A major hookup that includes get-out-of-chores-free tickets and more.
5. A hard-working papa deserves an extra special lunch box.
6. All the coolest cars from film and television (including a time-traveling DeLorean) on one poster.
7. For the DIY guy in your life.
8. Whether he knows it or not, every man needs a good toiletry/travel bag.
9. For the gourmand father: grilling sauces, marinades, rubs, and even a bacon-infused mayo.
10.Spicy and slightly sweet, every man should smell this good.

Maybe it's the rich colors or the variety of textures, but for some reason I love fall fashion more than that of any other season. This year, I paid close attention to a few of the menswear collections, and I was pleasantly surprised to see how some of my favorite ready-to-wear trends translated onto the menswear runways. Here are five fall trends that I love, that also work for guys.

Fun fact: I've been with my husband for six and a half years and have never seen him without some sort of facial hair (save for baby pictures, of course). He's altered his look over the years--doing the soul patch thing occasionally, growing in a full beard other times, but he's never done away with the facial hair completely. Fortunately, I happen to love his look and can't imagine him any other way. But I have friends who are very particular about facial hair, and some have asked their men to to keep their mugs shaved. I even have one girlfriend who thinks facial hair on stars like Ryan Reynolds is super sexy, but refuses to kiss her hubby if he so much as has 5 o'clock shadow.
So what's your stand on men with facial hair? Do you like your man clean-shaven and smooth or with a little (or a lot) of scruff? And if you have a particular preference, how do you let your guy know?
