Ah, men. The easiest humans to shop for (said no one, ever). If the men in your life are anything like the men in mine, then you probably always end up getting them tickets to some sort of sports game that you don’t really have any interest in, but you go anyways and cheer (go sports!), because you love them.
Both my dad and my fiance are big sports fans, and more often than not, I am finding tickets for their favorite teams. It’s my go-to gift for them! However, that usually only works for one or two holidays a year (Christmas, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries…) so, I am also on the hunt for any tangible item that may put a smile on their face when they open it. I’ve rounded up some items I’ve purchased for my men in the past that they have loved, or that I plan to purchase this year.
This Yeti mug is the perfect size for coffee, hot chocolate, or whatever your man prefers to put in his cup! It’s great for traveling or tailgating, or even taking to the beach in the summers. The best part is, it’s only $20! AND you can customize it with favorite sports teams or logos!
A bit on the pricier side, these noise cancelling headphones are definitely worth the investment! Alex (my fiance) has a pair of these and loves them, especially on long flights. If the man in your life travels a lot, these would be a great gift option!
Now, if your man is more into working out and spending time at the gym, I can personally say that both Alex and I have these headphones and absolutely LOVE them! They also have a “free” option, which have no cord at all and simply set in the ear while you workout. Bose makes such quality products, either of these options are sure to please!
The trending shoe of the moment, and I must say, this is a trend I love! If your guy hasn’t gotten a pair of these Nike Killshot 2 Sneakers, he has to have them as apart of his wardrobe! Good for all seasons, and from what Alex says, they’re comfortable to wear all day!
The Kiehl’s Facial Fuel is one of both my brother and Alex’s favorites! I must admit it smells amazing, like mint, and Alex claims it helps him feel refreshed in the morning. Nordstrom has this gift box for less than $50 for the holidays! Would be great as a gift, or purchase some Facial Fuel products separately for stocking stuffers!
I feel like gloves have the same stigma as socks do on Christmas. Does anyone really want to open their gifts to find gloves? Actually, yes! My brother lives in New York City, so he is always walking to and from places, even when it is freezing cold outside. Last year I got him these gloves, and he said he absolutely loves them! A very practical gift for any man, because let’s be real, it’s the men who are outside shoveling the snow while we are curled up inside watching Hallmark Christmas movies.
Something that Alex got a few years back for Christmas was a really nice travel toiletry bag. All leather, large enough to hold all belongings, and just overall a really beautiful looking toiletry pouch! To this day, everytime we travel, he comments on how much he loves that bag. I found this travel pouch on Mark and Graham (who I love and adore), and think that adding the initials of your man would be a great touch! Additionally, I think this is a great gift for men of all ages who are on the move.
These knit henley’s are SO cozy and an excellent closet staple for any guy! Easy to pair with jeans or just wear around the house with sweats.
Hopefully this list helps just the slightest! I’ll post more items I find on Instagram as I continue to shop this holiday season, but wanted to get this out for some ideas as you all start shopping, too!
