Looking for a unique gift for the holidays or an early purchase for Valentine's Day 2011? Look no further than Shanghai Tang, the luxury Chinese which is offering pocket-sized, pump-action refillable atomizers in coordinating leather pouches for men and women.

Shanghai Tang collaborated with Travalo, the innovative producer of pocket-sized, pump-action refillable atomizers, to create one with a patented PumpFill valve that refills in seconds. The atomizer, which provides up to 50 sprays, can be refilled in seconds from any pump-spray fragrance bottle. The pressure regulator within ensures no leaks making it extremely convenient to carry in your handbag or pocket. Each Shanghai Tang Travalo set includes two capsule
atomizers, encased in a skillfully embossed leather pouch elegant enough for all occasions.

The Shanghai Tang Dragon Travalo Set for men (seen above) comes with a black leather case embossed with a dragon---a traditional symbol of power, strength and good luck. A dragon is also engraved on the black and gun-metal capsule atomizers which are filled with Shanghai Tang's signature Mandarin Tea fragrance for him.

Filed under: Men's Style

While it's arguably much harder to buy grooming products for men, who can often be pickier with the few products they opt in on, you can't go wrong if you choose a scent or grooming kit that matches their personality. This year's roundup of deluxe grooming gifts includes ideas that will suit the fashionable man, the classic man or even the practical man.

Tuscan Leather Holiday Set

Tom Ford's Private Blend collection Eau de Parfums are not for the ordinary man. Highly refined and beautifully packaged in a dark brown glass falcon, the Private Blend collection is for the man who cares as much about the blend in his sweater as the stitching in his shoes. This season Ford has created the ultimate gift set, honoring one of the line's most popular scents. The Tuscan Leather Holiday Set ($975) celebrates the gorgeous fragrance that captures the revered craftsmanship and love of details that can only be found in Italy. This chypre oriental is composed of black rose and black truffle concentrations mixed with saffron, and notes of oud and tree moss on top. The set is a must have for Tom Ford fans and includes: an Eau de Parfum Spray, larger size Eau de Parfum, Candle, Refillable gold atomizer with funnel and multi-use tray, sure to look amazing on any dark wood bureau top.

Holiday Shopping Guide: 10 Gifts for Your Man

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Holiday Guides, Men's Style

Shopping for a husband, boyfriend, or significant other can be intimidating for many of the same reasons shopping for dad often is, but you can take at least some of the guesswork out of the process by focusing on gifts that are fun, functional, and really good at doing whatever they were meant to do. And of course if they're also expensive and brag-worthy (like most of our favorite picks below) that's frosting on the cake.

Leather Officer Jacket, $2,195
If you want to buy him clothes take our advice and steer clear of the sweater aisle and set your sites on something like this Leather Officer Jacket instead. Soft dark brown lambskin and clean lines result in a look that's both trendy and timeless and will easily mesh with a variety of personal styles.

Holiday Shopping Guide: 10 Gifts for Dad

Filed under: Holiday Guides, Men's Style

Dads are especially hard to shop for because they always seem to have everything they need and heaven knows they hate getting useless keepsakes and knickknacks. But that's not to say fathers don't appreciate the finer things in life, or getting something with some sentiment behind it, so show your dad how much you care this holiday season by spoiling him (just a little) with a gift that he'll love and use but would probably never have gotten around to buying for himself. Here are our top gift picks for dad -- all beautifully functional, fun, and top of the line.

Vulcain 50s Presidents' Alarm Watch, $8,350-$23,000
The Vulcain 50s President's Alarm Watch is great for any guy really but seems especially suited to dad or grandpa due to its nostalgic 1950s styling and interesting historical story: Vulcain has been gifting one to each new President since Eisenhower. Features include a casing of steel, yellow gold, or red gold and their famous Cricket movement (automatic).
