1. Hoodies at Hollister - Hollister’s popular with young men, and hoodies are still the rage, so you probably can’t go wrong here. Actually, probably anything from this store won’t screw you up too bad, because even if they don’t like it you could give a gift receipt and they could exchange it for something they like better. Sometimes it’s just important to get the store right, you know? White hoodies, black hoodies, red hoodies, blue hoodies, most with the Hollister logo. (www.hollisterco.com)

2. Men’s Gifts from Abercrombie & Fitch - Basically the same story as Hollister. You probably won’t go too wrong buying from here. (www.abercrombie.com)

3. Men’s Hip Hop Clothing at Drjays - Urban and hip hop wear from brands such as Adidas, Akademiks, Marc Ecko, Ed Hardy, Pelle Pelle, Rocawear, Sean John, Big Black Security, Timberland and more. (www.drjays.com)

4. GameStop - This might surprise you, but a lot of male teenagers and young adults like to play video games. It’s true. Games for Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation, etc. can be found here. (www.gamestop.com)

5. JBL Radial Speaker System with Universal Dock for iPod - Not only is it nice to put your iPod into a good-sounding little system so you can turn things up a little louder, but this one also looks cool for the bachelor pad (or bedroom at Mom and Dad’s house as the case may be). (www.sharperimage.com)

6. Busted Tees - Young men wear T-shirts about 94% of the time, and this site has funny ones that guys will like. Perhaps a slogan such as “Beards. They grow on you.” or “Yoga is for Posers.” or “Volunteering. It doesn’t pay.” Good stuff for younger guys. (www.bustedtees.com)

7. Acqua Di Gio Cologne from Giorgio Armani - If the young man on your list could smell better, we suggest this. If he’s already got his own signature fragrance, you can find it here, too. (www.sephora.com)

8. Men’s Health Magazine - While this magazine is fine for men of any age, it’s pretty clear that it’s intended for guys in their 20s and 30s that want to stay in shape, eat at least OK and like women. Here’s a link to give a gift subscription. (secure.rodale.com)

9. LeBron James Jersey at Cleveland Cavaliers Team Shop - If the young man you know likes LeBron, here you go. If not, find out who he does like in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL or any other league you can think of and get him a jersey. He’ll love it. (www.cavaliersteamshop.com)

10. Polar FS3 Heart Rate Monitor Watch - If the man you’re buying for is athletic, he might dig this sports watch that is also a heart rate monitor and has a bunch of other sporty features. We think this one looks cool, but Polar has a bunch of others if you think your guy will want certain features or a different style. (www.amazon.com)

11. Celestron Equatorial PowerSeeker Telescope - This one’s hit or miss, depending on young man in question, but a great idea for a teen boy or young adult man who likes looking at the stars. (www.amazon.com)
