October is almost over, gasp! While I usually don’t publish my holiday gift guides quite yet, I decided to make them a few weeks early. With the supply chain delays, I wanted to be sure you had time to browse my suggestions without feeling like it was a race against the clock. So in the spirit of making sure things arrive in time, here are my gifts for the guys! Many of the items in this roundup Andrew has and really enjoys or I have gifted to my brother, dad or in-laws. All about cozy this season!
The gifts range from $15 to the higher end of $375. A little something for each price point that I think would be special this season. Under $100 gifts will be noted with a *.
I think this is a great gift for any Apple lover. My husband loves his iPad, and iPad accessories, and thought this would be the perfect addition without breaking the bank on a large gadget. It’s also just so cool! Andrew if you’re reading this, sorry but this will be under the tree!
A classic cable knit sweater is always a great gift. For the guys, they can wear it over a button down on casual work days, with denim on weekends, or when they want to feel cozy but polished. I love the more laid-back knit on this one. You can never go wrong here!
Something about campfire mugs just give me all the feels. Andrew really enjoys coffee (after a long hiatus without it), so I wanted to get him a mug that he can keep at his desk that’s a little bit fun. The woodsy theme here is great for any guy, regardless of if they’re a camper!
The moment I saw these socks, I knew I’d include them. I’m not sure what it is with guys and their socks, but not just any pair will do. These are Andrew approved and I think they’re so cute for casual wear. Cozy, cool, and unique. They make a great budget-friendly gift!
A really cool option, whether the guys in your life play chess or not. If he doesn’t play, it’s fun because you can learn how together. My brother loves chess, so does my brother-in-law, and Andrew enjoys playing, too. It makes great decor, gives a refined vibe to an office, and is something unique they probably wouldn’t get for themselves.
This summer, Andrew and I were traveling and he left some of his grooming items at home. We stopped at a nearby Target and grabbed some Harry’s products. As it turned out, Andrew loved them! Months later, he continues to grab them. Andrew is a tried and true Kiehl’s guy but has permanently added Harry’s to his roster. This gift box set is SO cute, a great price and would be so fun.
NESPRESSO COFFEE AND ESPRESSO MACHINE
Shoutout to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Christian and Nora, who got us on the Nespresso train! I mentioned earlier that Andrew had gone on a coffee hiatus for several years, but when we recently got our Nespresso machine, he’s been enjoying coffee so much. If you are a high-end coffee connoisseur, there are probably more desirable coffee makers out there, but for a home that wants an excellent cup of coffee with ease, Nespresso is the way to go. Honestly, I think Nespresso coffee is better than most cafes! I think it would make a great gift for any guy who has a home office or wants to up his coffee game.
Okay, this one is so cool! The Garmin Golf Watch is a touch-screen watch that allows golfers to keep score, time and distance on their golf game as they’re playing. I think it’s such a neat concept and any golfer would get excited about it. It also “provides yardages to the from, back and middle of the Green- as well as Hazards and doglegs – on more than 41,000 preloaded coarser worldwide” (whatever that means lol – if you know, feel free to tell me)!
If you’re new around here, I absolutely love OnCloud sneakers! Andrew loves them even more than I do. We prefer the running style as the cut is a little more generous, they are insanely comfortable, stylish and cool. They’re an expensive sneaker, but honestly so worth it in my opinion. These would be a great gift for any guy who loves sneaks!
I saw this cooler and thought it was so cool (lol cooler, cool, ha). Kind of reminds me of Herschel, and is a great price point compared to Yeti coolers. Igloo has been around for ages for a reason, they’re some of the best. I think if a guy likes the outdoors, is into fishing, camping, golfing, hunting, tailgating etc., this is an awesome gift. I also thought if he likes to cook or brings food to gatherings with friends and family, it’s practical, too.
I love this print concept! Etsy never fails. You can have a custom print made of his favorite golf course, whether it’s one he plays, one that’s nostalgic, or one like Augusta that’s famous and more symbolic, it’s such a neat idea! You can make it as personal as you want it to be and is super unique.
If you are looking for a forever gift, a Filson briefcase is fantastic. They are an investment gift, but one that will be both practical and a long-term item in his closet. Andrew has this same one and it’s one of his favorite things. I cannot take credit, however, his mom gave it to him. She really nailed it! It is the best briefcase for the guy who wants to be polished, but current and cool. It also flows with a suit, you’d be surprised!
Whether it’s game day at home or at the game itself, a team beanie is a great idea. On Sundays, our house becomes a Football house. While I’m not a football lover myself, I love the camaraderie surrounding it (the food, the festivities etc), and even have become a bit of a Giants fan myself. This would make a great stocking stuffer or gift for anyone who is a team devotee.
Bedside tables and dressers aren’t as much of an aesthetic moment for the guys. I love to display my nice perfume, hand cream, books and candles. For the guys, a catchall is great because it is a little home for whatever lands on their bedside.
Guys and their grilling! Andrew loves marinading everything, our fish, chicken, steaks you name it. I love these trays because they serve a purpose, and instead of using plates or plastic bags, they can marinate on these and have a cool gizmo to boot. It’s also practical because the red portion is where the uncooked meat marinates, and the top black tray is for the finished product!
SONY NOISE CANCELLING NAVY HEADPHONES
Noise cancelling headphones are a game changer, no matter the brand. But I have to say, Sony makes a premium product and the aesthetic on these are so good! The matte navy is masculine, fresh and cool. I think any guy would get excited about a new pair, and these are unique and fun without being juvenile.
I had to include a practical item! Winter boots are a must in the Northeast (and a lot of other places). This pair is super stylish and cute while still feeling classic and outdoorsy. They’re cute alternative to bean boots that aren’t as dense for everyday.
Nothing like new pajamas this time of year! I love the grey and blue buffalo check, these also come in a neutral color way. If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that my husband loves a nice set of pajamas. I had to up my own PJ game just to keep up! These are cozy, cute and feel festive without being too holiday themed. Love these!
Not really sure why, but every guy I know has a portable speaker. They’re cool, they’re fun, and allows them to listen to a podcast or music wherever they are. It provides more audio than your iPhone and also keeps your iPhone from draining, so it’s a win win! Also, these are just cute and tiny and that’s enough for me lol.
Such great ideas!! I can see me wrapping up several of your suggestions and placing them under our tree, for sure! Thank you!!
