The Single Guy: 20+ Perfect Presents for Bachelors

BlackBerry Bold
The exterior of the latest BlackBerry gets the luxury car treatment, with a sleek body, chrome accents, and leather backside -- but those are just superficial touches. It's the guts of this machine, with its lightning-fast 3G speeds, vastly improved Web browser, and better-than-the-iPhone QWERTY keyboard, that'll make your thumbs ache. ($299.99)

Dyson Ball Vacuum DC24 and DC25
This is the Lexus of vacuum cleaners. The Dyson Ball Vacuum's motor was placed to give the machine a low center of gravity, allowing it to steer with quick, smooth accuracy. It includes a one-touch hygienic and quick-to-empty bin and patented cyclone technology that ensures the Ball won't loose suction. (Starting at $349.88)

Feed the Animals, by Girl Talk
Greg Gillis, the mastermind behind Girl Talk, follows up 2006's Night Ripper with Feed the Animals. True to his mash-up style, Gillis's newest offering doles out upbeat tunes comprised completely of samples from other musicians, ranging from OutKast to Faith No More to Phil Collins. Not only does this album inspire wild booty shaking, it will supply you with some indie-music cred, and, most importantly, set the tone for an evening of one-on-one entertainment.

Levi's 514s
This is how jeans are supposed to fit -- roomy enough that you can sit down without fear a button will fly off and wound someone, yet slim enough so your ass doesn't look like a denim sharpei puppy. The 514s come in seven washes, one for every day of the week. (Starting at $24.99)

New Balance 420 Vintage Running Collection
Women base their first impression of a man on his watch and shoes. Now you can impress them even if you aren't in a pair of broughed wingtips with New Balance's 420 Vintage Running Collection. The renovated '70s design has added modern technology, revamped colors, and fancy materials like suede and Italian leathers. She'll like 'em. So will you. (Starting at $59.99)

Stubb's Legendary Combo
Getting meat in the mail seems like a bad idea (hello, botulism!), but this combo pack from Stubb's, which includes a big beef brisket, baby back ribs, and St. Louis spare ribs, comes in a cooler filled with dry ice, so it tastes just like it came fresh from the Stubb's kitchen in Austin. Order online before November 15th for $10 off your order -- just use "Esquire" as your promo code during checkout. ($119)

Panasonic Body Effects Grooming System
Panasonic has created an ultra-versatile men's hair-removal system, designed to provide allover personal grooming with flexibility that allows the shaver head to hug body contours on all those hard-to-reach areas. Just how personal and hard-to-reach you plan to go is, of course, up to you -- just don't take off too much. (Starting at $31.50)

The Art of Shaving: The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave Full Size Kit
The Perfect Shave system combines the Art of Shaving's aromatherapy-based products, handcrafted accessories, and expert shaving technique to guarantee the ultimate shave. The system is designed to relieve and prevent ingrown hairs, razor burn, tough beard, and sensitive skin. Smooth. (Starting at $89.95)


 
I Am King cologne, from Sean John
The fact that Sean "Diddy" Combs named his signature fragrance "I Am King" is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is that a celebrity-endorsed scent can be of such a high quality -- this perfectly blends the freshnesss of tangerine and cranberry with cedar and sandalwood without seeming girly or unisex.

Coach Messenger Bag
There's a reason why women covet Coach bags. Discover it for yourself with this nylon messenger bag, which features a nice fabric lining, two easy-access pockets on the outside, and places to strap down your PDA. ($358)
