What is it with men that whenever we ask them what they want for the holidays, they can never give us a straight answer? Obviously, buying gifts for the guy in your life is tricky enough but when they don’t play golf or wear ties, it’s even harder. From the nerdy husband to the horny boyfriend, we’ve found the perfect gifts for him:

For the guy who thinks he’s Bobby Flay-vor Flav:

For the man who loves to bust a move and sing as much as he does grill and cook, the The Tong Song ($14.99) is pretty much the perfect gift.

If he thinks he’s Steve Jobs:

The Apple IPad (starts at $499) is THE hot gift for the holidays this year and it’s really no surprise because it houses music, books, the internet, and thousands of apps. Your man will probably be too busy playing with this to thank you but you’ll know he’s grateful.

If he’s prettier than you (ahem, metrosexuals):

He won’t admit it but he likes to channel his inner glamazon from time to time so by getting him this Ralph Lauren ‘Polo Black’ Holiday Set ($75), he’ll get to feel pretty while smelling (and looking) like a man.

If he’s unemployed:

If he spends his days in a bath robe and slippers, he’ll love the gift of these super-soft UGG Slippers ($99.95) for men. Now he can send out resumes and watch Maury in comfort.

If he just loves that mustache:

Don’t feel guilty about making him clean up his scruff with the Too Hot To Handlebar Mug ($23.99). He’ll get the manly ‘stache he loves and his morning cup of joe.

If he’s always in the mood:

Guys are simple creatures and seeing you in this Betsey Johnson Nightie ($75) will be his most exciting gift this year. Plus, you’ll be his favorite gift to unwrap – trust us.

For the Grilling, Zorro-Loving Dad: This BBQ Sword ($25) will be an instant hit – whether your dad is a Grill Master, or just a Pirates of The Caribbean fan. Hopefully he’s a Safety-First kind of dad, too.

For the Gyro – (Not Gym) – Loving Dad: If your dad is a little soft in the mid-section, welcome him to the wonderful world of shapewear with this SPANX® Crewneck Compression T-Shirt ($58). He’ll thank you later.

For the Record Collecting, Amateur DJ Dad: If you’re dad’s collection of vinyl records is overflowing, or if he’s just decided to become an EmCee by hobby since his retirement- this Crosley Radio CR6005A-MA Tech Turntable ($60) is a sweet toy he will love.

I used to think that I should be able to get my naturally wavy hair stick-straight with a round brush and a hairdryer. After all, hair stylists do it all the time. Plus, my last memory of a straightening iron was in the 80s, when my Conair crimping iron came with flat plates (Useless!). So even after I snagged the Sedu Revolution Nano Ceramic Tourmaline Hair Styler ($140), I was so skeptical that it took a while for me to break it out of the box. But now that I have, it's a whole new world of hair! The temperature setting means I can adjust it for my hair type (no scorching fine hair, no need to keeping passing it over coarse hair again and again), the curved edges mean I can turn under the ends. And my hair actually gets… straight. Not just “mostly straight but puffy and frizzy” the way it does when I'm (impatiently) wielding my blow-dryer, but sleek and smooth. It's a far cry from the technology of the 80s. I top the look off with some Kerastase Vernis Nutri-Sculpt Ultra-Shine Top Coat ($29), and and I've got the kind of swingy, shiny, glossy hair that used to require a blow-out.

We were totally impressed when HP prettified the everyday laptop. Their collaboration with Vivienne Tam produced this adorable 10” laptop ($700) that weighs less than two pounds and will undoubtedly make you look like the coolest gal at Starbucks. Plug in a Warm Mouse ($30) and you can even grab a seat by the drafty door – it warms up to keep fingers from feeling frozen.

But if you’d rather not commit to a new computer, personalize one of your other gadgets; replace the back of your phone or BlackBerry with a little piece of art by buying a Coveroo ($20). You can choose one of their ready-made patterns, or create one all your own. Same goes for CafePress’s personalized Flip camcorders ($180); check out the SheFinds one they made for us at 1:19 in the video above.

On to your iPod/Phone: eliminate annoying wires that get in your way while running or driving with the Cerulean F1 + TX ($150) or a pair of iMuffs ($150). Both devices let you chat and listen to music wirelessly from a number of yards away. And when you’re traveling somewhere unfamiliar without anything to plug into, just make sure to pack this roll-up mouse pad ($22): it has four USB ports and speakers, and rolls up easily – just stash it in your carry-on.
