Being a parent must be rough sometimes. I wouldn't really know. I'm pretty much just a dog mom and I know she's a handful. I mean who else insists would insist on eating their Trader Joe's gingerbread dog treats on my Christmas tree skirt like it's some kind of convenient blanket?Someday I hope to be a parent as scary of thought that is. I look forward to the days I'll be piling on even more things than I already attempt to.

Saying "misters" feels a little strange, but in order to be fair, I just had to create a gift guide for the guys in our lives. Brothers, friends with great taste, or, if you're lucky, a boyfriend or husband. They deserve a little bit of high quality love too especially when it comes to things they may not even realize exist. Let's face it, some of them aren't known for their quality choices, right? This guide is filled with some interesting, unique, and thoughtful gifts. I mean, who else is going to enjoy a chocolate salami or a meat subscription box service? What I've learned in life are boys are pretty complex, but there's a few universal interests.
