Everyone has 'em: people who you'd prefer to send a gag to rather than a gift. The busybody mother-in-law. The frenemy who's somehow firmly entrenched in your crew of friends. The jerky coworker you happen to draw in the Secret Santa pool at the office. Or maybe it's the awkwardness that comes along with gifting someone you've just started dating. Manners dictate that you not overlook them on your holiday list yet how do you shop for people who, plain and simple, are unavoidable thorns in your side when it comes to gift giving? I recently attended celebrity stylist Robert Verdi's guide to holiday gifting event, and got some inspired ideas for those one or two difficult someone specials that fall on everyone's list. Check out the slideshow for suggested gifts and tips!

Roof volleyball, fireball, office chair races, kickboard tennis, wall ball, hammer darts... let's face it, If there's not a legitimate sport to be played, guys will invent their own anyway. Sports are integral to the lives of our favorite male companions, and as much as some of us would like to blame sports for our boys' insistence of only going to restaurants with televisions and for their ignoring our needy requests from the other room, the best way to your guy's heart this holiday season is a gift in the spirit of sports. Yes, while Santa shouldn't skimp out on us sports loving girls in this department either, if you're looking to give your boy a present as exciting as college basketball bracket upsets and extra innings, these gifts are the way to go. Classic signed memorabilia and jerseys won't disappoint, and neither will other fun options of this slideshow. Score a touchdown with a perfect pick for your sporty guy!
