Pop Stars: Cardigans For Him = Excellent Gifts

More great gift ideas to amp up your holiday shopping... At some point a few year's ago, the cardigan crossed-over from preppy-Nerd staple to being utterly practical and cool.

And for winter layering, it can't be beat. Here are a few we're sure any guy worth his sartorial salt would love. And his girlfriend, too.
