I’m back at it with the gift guides, this time with a gift guide for him. You can check out my gift guide for her here. All of these ideas I have gifted over the years either to Jake, my dad or brother. I am all about giving gifts that my recipients will use over and over again.
Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt: First up is a classic Vineyard Vines shep shirt sweatshirt. These are great for the cooler months and go with many different outfits. Jake loves his!
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones: Both Jake and I have had a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones for years. If taken care of the last for years to come and are a great gift idea. These usually go on sale Black Friday week at various retailers.
Cashmere Quarter Zip Sweater: This is the one item on my list that I have not purchased yet, but want to! This cashmere quarter zip sweater is from Quince and is priced at only $74.90 for 100% cashmere!
Vineyard Vines Button Down Shirt: This particular shirt is an essential in Jake’s closet and also several of my family member’s closets. It is a great year round shirt that can be worn for many different occasions. Honestly all Vineyard Vines shirts are great and well loved in my family.
Makita Drill: A cordless drill really is an essential for every household. It is a great gift idea for a new homeowner or any fix it guy in your life. My family loves the Makita brand because the batteries work in over 200 different types of tools! So you can use the battery from the drill in their leaf blower for example. How cool is that!
Yeti Tumbler: A Yeti Rambler tumbler is probably the gift that I have given the most over the years. I do not know anyone that would not want one. When I used to work in retail in college I would always recommend a Yeti Rambler to customers struggling to find a gift. They are sleek looking and keep your drinks nice and cold or super hot for hours.
Lake Pajamas: Lake Pajamas are not just for the ladies! Lake also makes great mens pajamas and lounge wear. The best part they come in tall sizes too which is very important in my family! The mens pajamas are equally as soft and comfortable as the women’s and look stylish and pulled together too. I have gifted these pants and they have been a favorite.
Yeti Cooler: A Yeti cooler is also a great idea for most guys. From the hunter to the sports fan there is a Yeti cooler for them. Jake and I have the Yeti Roadie 24 and it is the perfect size for road trips like the name suggests.
Steak Knives: A nice set of steak knives are a great idea for any food or grill master in your life. I really like these Wusthof knives.
Ugg Slippers: Ugg slippers are a favorite in my family. The men of family literally wear them daily and always get very excited when they receive a pair as a gift.
Ridge Wallet: I got my dad a ridge wallet a couple of years ago and he says it is the best wallet ever! It keeps its cards secure and loves that he can store it in his front pocket without
obscuring his posture when sitting. They are having 15% off this week for Black Friday.
Naked Bee Hand Lotion: Guys get dry hands too! Naked Bee is by far my favorite hand lotion for hard working hands. I often gift it to family, friends and coworkers. They all love it!
Happy Shopping!
