There's a reason there are so many lists of gift ideas available this time of year -- although shopping is generally a good time, it suddenly turns stressful when you have difficult people to shop for. And men are notoriously difficult, yet every year we've all got at least a few of them on our gift list. It just can't be avoided!

So, if you've spent the last many years giving out socks, ties, and new gloves maybe it's time to think outside the box a little and surprise that special someone with something enjoyably unexpected. Most women don't realize that more and more men are coming to appreciate being pampered, or at least are more aware of their appearance and more interested in things like anti-aging products and finding ways to relax. eDiets.com has compiled a list of gifts ideas for the pampered man that really does have something for everyone, no matter how "macho" that man on your shopping list might be.

There are 10 ideas on the list total, ranging from cologne to a luxury shaving kit to a self-tanner designed specifically for men. No socks from me this year!
