    So maybe your guy isn't the outdoorsy type, the cultured guy, or the geeky guy-- don't fret! Here's the last installment of my Gifts For Guys roundup. Hopefully you'll find everything you need, but go out and get them quick-- the holidays are almost here! Which guy have I left out? Let's figure out his style. Tight skinny jeans? Check. A wardrobe full of plaid shirts and graphic tees? Check. A fondness for street culture, music and the arts? Check. Looks like you've got a hipster guy on your hands. Deck him out with some fitted cardigans or a retro-inspired digital watch. Or style up his pad with a cardboard deer wall mount or some sleek wooden iPod speakers. Check out the slideshow for some quirky and cool gifts for the tragically hip.

    If you don't read the JC Report, you should. It's one of the best running online commentaries on emerging fashion culture. I was recently interviewed for their 3-part series called "The Death of Trends." The subject of the series is basically what Stylehive is all about - the revolutionary movement of fashion from the few (glossy magazines, diva editors, copycat designers) to the many, meaning - you! JC Report calls the myriad ways people are now choosing to express themselves "micro trends," as opposed to the "macro" fashion trends of old, like grunge and heroin chic, that would dominate runways and closets for seasons on end. Check out their fascinating series, and tell me in Comments what you thought of my comments. And if you have any of your own to add, and I'll pass them on to the writer. Cheers!

    You don't have to go far to get your hands on globally-inspired goodies, and there are plenty that cost much less than a ticket halfway around the world! Besides, who says you have to actually travel to pick up souvenirs? Culturally-infused items make wonderful gifts, and there's something for everyone from just about everywhere in our slideshow. So give someone a taste of Peru with beautifully hand-painted ceramic pieces, or let them really enjoy Germany with traditional gourmet marzipan- it's the easiest way to experience a new culture, minus the jetlag.
