Who doesn’t like giving and receiving gifts. It’s the most fantastico fact about humans that makes one feel special and enhances the bonds. But when it comes to gifting women, it’s easy to buy presents; anything wearable, fragrant, or expensive fits the bill. But men are so difficult to buy fantastico gifts for. The Style Symphony has a scientific way about it! First: Indentify your man. They are a weird species. And with so many sub-species, they can be tricky to classify. But let’s try it out and start with four of the most commonly found fantastico ones.
