When I polled my Instagram Stories fam asking what gift guides they wanted to see this holiday season, the resounding winner was gift ideas for guys! So today I’m sharing what to get for every guy in your life: husband, boyfriend, dad, brother, grandpa, and guy friends. With the exception of Daniel, the men in my life top the “tough to buy for” list, especially my dad and brother. And while I make up a super organized Christmas list, you definitely won’t find one from them like that 😉.
Unfortunately, men are no where near similar to women, and you can’t just grab a lip kit at Sephora or run to Anthro and pick up a candle you know any girl would be so happy to receive. They require a lot more thought and usually never even know what they want themselves! So I have found it’s best to go with something practical (my dad always appreciates a practical gift!) or something they can have fun with because I haven’t met a man that doesn’t like a toy (even at 50!). So, here are some ideas in case you are stumped on what to get the men in your life.
These are probably the hottest gift item for men this year! They are such a classic piece that men from 15 to 70 will love! If you are stumped with what to buy for him, chances are he will absolutely love a Patagonia sweatshirt. There are tons of different color options and styles. I love this navy and red fleece pullover for a younger guy, and think this gray quarter-zip option or olive green buttoned pullover would be perfect for dad!
Another idea that any guy will love is speakers or headphones. I talked about our love for our Sonos speakers in yesterday’s post, and a PLAY:1 would be a great gift for your husband or dad. For a more budget friendly option, I love this bluetooth “turntable” speaker. It is such a cool conversation piece to have in you home and is essentially just a bluetooth speaker. It’s under $70 and comes in eight different color options. Wireless earbuds are also an awesome idea if you’re stumped on what to get any guy. This pair has good reviews and is currently on sale!
Probably one of the most iconic Christmas gifts for men, and for good reason…they love them! Any age guy loves a cool watch, and there are tons of great options out there at reasonable prices right now. I love this one because of the really cool dark leather band! A watch makes the perfect stand alone gift, so if you are looking to get your dad or boyfriend one thing that they will absolutely love, I say go with a watch! This one is super clean and is under $100.
For the working men in your life, a dress shirt or tie is a perfect option! Not only are they extremely budget friendly, but they will be perfect for the guy that loves practical gifts. I also love to gift these to older men that I may be unsure of what to get. This tie set is super neat because it includes socks and a handkerchief as well, but a this is a more budget friendly tie. Rodd & Gunn sport fit shirts are Daniel’s absolute favorites, but the Nordstrom brand ones are really nice as well!
Another easily liftable idea for every age category is pajamas or slippers. Daniel is always super excited to open up a cozy pair of UGG slippers (these are on his list this year) or pajama pants. Last year we gifted my dad UGG slippers as well and he loved them! I feel like they are the perfect grandfather Christmas gift, too. These pajama pants are under $40 and come in tons of different colors and patterns.
Below are a bunch more ideas for all the men you’ll be shopping for this holiday season! I truly hope this helps make the gift-giving process for the “toughest” people on your list a little simpler!
