Men's Gift Ideas
For THE guys
Somehow convinced Brian to contribute towards this gift guide in a new format! Based on your feedback, we’ve compiled your requests into three different categories: stocking stuffers, small gifts + larger gifts. Be sure to tune in above to see a little holiday inspired Q+A as well.
stocking stuffer IDEAS
OUR TRADITION - AN ORNAMENT:
get your guy a sentimental ornament that represents any life events that have occurred. Whether it’s your first Christmas together, you went on a dream vacation, got engaged/married, bought a house, became a parent, grandparent, paid off loans, an ornament is a thoughtful way to remember the year. A few of my favorite places to get them:
- ETSY - MINTED - SHUTTERFLY - SNAPFISH -
TAKE A LOOK IN THE MEDICINE CABINET:
I’m sure your guy would appreciate a restock on his favorite hair products, shaving products, whitening items, etc.
SKINCARE:
If he has skin, he should have a skincare routine! Brian uses this L'Oreal Paris Skincare Men Expert Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Face Moisturizer with SPF 15 - an easy way for your guy to take care of his skin. Brian + I also use First Aid Beauty, this is a great set to get started which includes Brian’s favorite, FAB Skin Lab Retinol Eye Cream with Triple Hyaluronic Acid
SHAVING / GROOMING SUBSCRIPTION:
If your guy shaves, get him a shaving and grooming subscription. Brian’s pick: Dollar Shave Club. Another great option is Harry’s.
Small GIFTS
CLOTHING ACCESSORIES:
Think ties, tie clips, dress socks - whether or not they dress up for work, it certainly comes in handy when they need it. Brian’s favorites for accessories: The Tie Bar + J Crew
HOBBY ACCESSORIES:
Is he into golf? Get him custom golf balls. Not into golf? Get him something surrounding an activity he’s interested in that he might not necessarily get for himself.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS, GET TECHNICAL:
Got a guy who constantly loses their keys/phone? Get him a tile device that makes tracking easy. Does he have all of the devices? Get him a wireless charger or a portable battery if he’s constantly losing juice. See below for a few extra items that are Brian approved:
BIG GIFTS
ADD VALUE:
What’s something he does everyday that you could potentially make his day a little better / more deluxe? My dad always wears shoes in his house so I got him these slippers this year so he can dedicate them his “house shoes.” Brian has these too.
THE GIFT OF SOUND:
Apparently Brian’s favorite gift of all time… from Sonos which seamlessly connects to your phone so you can control all sound in one place. Here’s a portable option that we love to travel with and have by the pool. We’re also big fans of Apple’s Airpods as well. Not into Apple? There are endless options of other bluetooth headphones - be sure to read reviews before purchasing.
POWER TOOLS:
Never underestimate the power of a drill, we have this set and it’s got everything the average home owner could ever need.
FINAL THOUGHTS FROM BRIAN:
Don’t underestimate a gift card. If you’re really stumped, I’m sure your guy would appreciate a gift card to his favorite store like Amazon, especially if it’s a personal gift like sunglasses.
Gift experiences: think massages, concert tickets, seats to his favorite professional sports game - gift an experience that you could enjoy together!
