Style File: Bergorf Goodman's Holiday Gifts for Your Groom

One for you.... okay, one for me too. Two for you, oh well, hey, why not... two for me. And this for me. And this for you, no me.
And so the holiday shopping season begins.

With amazing holiday catalogs squeezing their way into the city-dweller's mailbox so early in the season, it's hard not to be just a {teeny} bit selfish. Case in point? The oh-my-god-its-absolutely-amazing Bergdorf Goodman holiday catalog. I received a press copy a few weeks ago and couldn't edit all the goodness down to one streamlined {or bridal-specific} story, so I opted for a big "oh, the hell with it," and decided to do a little mini-series of Merci's favorite items. Just to show that we're not too selfish, we'll start with the guys....
From killer cuff links to sultry scents, bold bathing suits to barware worthy of a Mad Men mixer, the buyers at The Men's Store at Bergdorf Goodman have got your man covered this holiday season.
Our stylists' tip? Don't just think about X-Mas. The holidays are a great time to knock out your groom's gift, too. Chances are the pickings won't be so fruitful {or creative} come June, so the holidays are the best time to buy and stash for your hubby-to-be!
