The Official Clifton Burt 2010 Holiday Guide for the Male Humans in Your Life

Filed Under: 20x200    On: December 1, 2010

Your brother already bought him that laser level he's been lusting after and Mom got a hold of those season tickets behind home plate. It seems everything else on his list is crossed off, except maybe that Iron Man suit you'd rather have for yourself than see your Dad wear.

Fortunately for you, Clifton Burt has come to the what-to-get-for-guys-in-your life rescue with his Official 2010 Holiday Guide For the Males in Your Life. His hilarious list takes care of your shopping list musts not only for Dad, but for the rest of the guy-crew as well. Why give art as a gift? As Clifton puts it: "For the love of God don’t buy them ties or socks (unless they’re expensive) this year."

So, what's on this list? Gifts for your brother-in-law, your other brother in-law, grandfather, and even your boss. See below for some of our favorite and most fitting recommendations excerpted from Clifton's guide.

As Clifton puts it:
Jump by Thomas Prior was made for your younger brother.

This print is going to the younger brother that’s always taking bigger risks than he should due to being the baby of the family and feeling that there’s always a safety net. Diving into 2 feet of water should cure him of that.

Forest. Exclusion Zone, Chernobyl
is for your dad. Why? Clifton explains:

This one’s for your Dad who grew up in a Cold War reality and quietly prefers a world full of nukes to one full of underwear bombers. Yes, he’ll think you’re weird when you give him this print, but he already thinks you’re weird so you might as well just run with it.

Also on the list is West Forty-third Street (Yellow Cabs) by Joseph O Holmes, an edition aimed specifically at your boss who's "slightly more important than you are."

Clifton Burt's own think-make-think (second edition) also makes the list, but how could we blame him? This inspirational print is practically made for everyone.

And, because his list will presumably only take care of 50% of your holiday shopping needs, we can help you with the remaining half with our own helpful Gift Guide. For starters, you can find art for her, and also for the wanderers, shutterbugs, do-gooders and nighthawks in your life and check out our other artist gift guides by Ky Anderson, Jorge Colombo, Lisa Congdon, Dustin Hostetler, Clare Grill, Mike Monteiro and Jane Mount.

Should you need more advice in the male department, you can also check our favorite prints for him. But beyond that, you'll have to get in touch with Clifton.
