GIFT IDEA #5: UPGRADING WITH UNCLE BILL

You know what your Uncle Bill is: a hilarious, football-loving, big loud guy with a receding hairline and a bit of a belly who sometimes embarrasses himself at family functions by making inappropriate off-the-cuff statements and belching right behind Grandma. What you don't know is what Uncle Bill wants and needs. If we may make a few pertinent suggestions...

First and foremost, Uncle Bill is the kind of guy who works hard and appreciates food and coffee. Ask yourself, would he tear through a Tuna gift set? Can he appreciate a coffee thermos with a lifetime guarantee? You know the answers to these questions.

Uncle Bill's type is also a guy who shuns shopping excursions of any kind. This makes him primed for a bunch of basic clothing and accessory upgrades. Take a look at his belt - it may be time to replace the one he got his Junior year of high school. Do his socks have holes in them? Does he have a decent shirt, and if so, does it have buttons or is it just a T-shirt that he's only worn three times since its last wash? Does he lose or break his glasses all the time? Maybe he needs a case that'll stand up to his constant and abuse.

Ask yourself some solid questions about your Uncle Bill. Then consider the following options:
