Wan Christmas's Gift Guide that will make any gay man (or anyone) real happy.

Can you hear the faint chiming of the bells? Can you smell magic in the air? Can feel the bustling happiness of Christmas? Yes? Well describe them to me, cause I can't. Christmas time is here and the inevitable christmas gift guides (which really is a vaguely disguised christmas-gifts-i-want-myself list) is all out. So here I present, my list – Christmas's Gift that will make any gay man (or anyone) real happy-

Hourglass


I have a thing for desk accessories. And I have a thing for modern minimal design. So this hourglass (a cliché desk accessories) with its simple design (it really cannot get any simpler than this) just turns me on. And then add black sand. Orgasmic.

Sons Calendar


Aren't we all sick of those flesh parade calendars (think Trevvy Pinned Up and those free FHM TOP 100 HOT NEXT DOOR GIRLS pinups)? I am, but sometimes we do need a little eroticism in our life. The Sons Calendar features brilliant photography by Dennis Chong, and the guys photographed are all tastefully shot. In fact most of them are clothed, normal looking and are normal people. But that's what makes it brilliant (and strangely erotic).

I don't Need a Bag Thanks

Global warming, melting icebergs, forest fires, haze, sars, death, the retention of 377A. etc. And we all know all of these problems could be solve if we are just a bit more eco-conscious. Everyone has that silly I'm Not a Plastic Bag Bag, but not everyone has the I don't Need a Bag Bag. Besides, the I'm Not a Plastic Bag Bag looks cheap. The I don't Need a Bag Bag is just cheap.

Anna Sui Hand Mirror


I don't know about you, but every time I pass a reflective surface, I stop, pout, posse and adjust. It could be a kettle. It could be a huge reflective door. What ever it is, I would stop, pout, posse and adjust. It is almost like a natural reaction. I am sure I am not alone with this problem (the last time when I was stopping, pouting, posing and adjusting, some one was doing the same beside me.) So what a better gift than a Anna Sui hand mirror so he or she could be stopping, pouting, posing and adjusting anywhere and at anytime with great style.

Naoto Fukasawa


Strange as it sounds, I am still excited to receive Design Books as gifts even if I have tons of them. One book I have been searching high and low is Naoto Fukasawa monograph. Naoto Fukasawa is a product designer, whose design are usually described by those that do not know better, as gray, white and whatever, But his designs do not demand attention onto itself. It doesn't need to. While at first glance his designs appears simple and obvious, it rarely is. The thought process behind the designs are complicated and through so that the user can implement it without much though. Elegant. Eloquent. Thoughtful. Three perhaps most flattering words than can be said of a designer.
