Christmas gift guide: For Him

It's that time of the year again when its time to start thinking about Christmas shopping. I'm putting together three gift guides this year, which will be spread out across the week. Kicking off today with my gift guide for him.  I'm hoping that you will find some great ideas below for the man in your life.

With a balance of slim lines and military-grade protection, they provide a difference you can see and feel.
