    It's that time of year again, gentlemen - time to scrounge at the last minute for meaningful gifts for the dudes in your life who are important to you (dads, brothers, uncles who just got out of jail). Or, if you want to be proactive and ahead of the pack, check out some of these options in our manly 2012 holiday gift guide. They aren't the most high-ticket items (if you want that, check out our Black Friday Gift Guide), but they are worthwhile, mostly practical and pretty awesome. Shop on.

    James Bond 007 Cologne

    This is the gift for the ultimate Bond man in your family...or the cousin who could use some good cologne and you need a slick way to get him some. The 007 fragrance features a unique fusion of traditionally authentic British ingredients with a modern twist - like Sean Connery and Daniel Craig hanging out. It flawlessly combines irresistible sophistication with uncompromising masculinity, much like the iconic spy himself ($40).

    The Ninja Professional Blender

    If you're a fan of infomercials (and who isn't, really), then you've probably seen ads for the Ninja uber blender.

    As someone who owns an extremely high-end blender, the ninja is worth its weight in fresh juices. While other blenders can get bogged down, the Ninja's internal cylinder doesn't let food get stuck and keeps everything moving.

    With over 1000 watts of power, this is a professional grade blender at a fraction of professional grade blender prices.

    Price: $99.00
