2023 holiday gift guide: for the guys
why are guys always the hardest to shop for?! it doesn’t really matter who the guy is, as soon as i realize i need a gift for him my mind goes blank. sooo these gift guides are always the *most* helpful to me, so I hope this one is so helpful to you as you shop for your boyfriend, husband, dad, brother, or any guy who says “i don’t really need anything” lol
1 / portable charger
basically starting this list out with something i’ve bought for myself & would buy for anyone, any day 😅 it charges so well & so fast, plus you don’t need any extra cords to plug it in. grab it for the guy whose phone is always dying! also, on another tech-related side note - for the guy who travels for work, tuck an ifly bluetooth transmitter in his stocking & say goodbyeeee to the days of uncomfy airplane headphones! it allows you to use your airpods with an airplane tv!!! kyle LOVES his. especially for long international flights.
2 / NIKE DUNKS
kyle bought these for himself recently & i think they’re soooo cute. i love the beige color (duh!) 😍 for your brother who’s upping his style game for his new gf, or your partner who needs some new non-business options for the weekends. i think technically these are womens??? but just click “US M” to switch to men’s sizing!
3 / golf practice mat
kyle lovesss this thing ⛳️ he keeps it in our gym & i just roll it up when i want it out of the way haha grab this practice mat so your boo can keep up on his game even on the coldest winter days (plus, he doesn’t have to leave your house to do it 😂 ) we also have this fun golf yard game which is perfect for spring & summer backyard hangs!
4 / ooni pizza oven
my fam bought this for me for my birthday a few years ago, but i think it’s the perfect gift for guys too! birthdays, superbowl parties, & plain ol’ friday nights all just leveled up ;) ooni has both wood-fired & gas options, & both are super simple to use & make a pizza in 2-3 minutes. guests are always soo impressed by how they taste. this is my favorite sourdough crust i make!
5 / towel warmer
winter is the perfect time to gift this maybe-impractical-but-totally-worth-it gift. for the dad who says he has everything! we have had this exact towel warmer for years & use it almost daily!
6 / stanley 64oz jug
for when he’s spending all day on the golf course, orrrr when your whole fam needs water for an outing but you don’t wanna be the one to carry it 🤠 pair it with electrolyte packets. these are kyle’s favorites!
7 / back & neck massager
if your guy has a job that requires long hours at a desk, or if he’s super active all day, grab him this as a big thank you for all he does! it’s truly a gift that keeps on giving. perfect for your dad or father-in-law too.
8 / suitcase scale
another one for the traveling dude! i’ve been meaning to buy this forever & i finally pulled the trigger as one of kyle’s christmas gifts!!! (he doesn’t read my blog 😆 ) this will be so helpful to tell ahead of time if our luggage is overweight, instead of finding out (& then having to play a game of clothes shuffling) at the airport!
9 / folding camp bench
okay so this might be more of a family gift than just for your guy, but it’s still a great option for the dad who spends all his weekends at kids’ sports games, your brother-in-law who loves camping, or even as a cute gift for some outdoorsy newlyweds?!
10 / lululemon pants that are comfy but look fancy-ish
kyle has 2 pairs of these & they’re AMAZING. he wears them to work & to golf! they’re a really cool, comfy material & you can dress them up or down. tons of color options too!
11 / dartboard
guys love darts 🤷♀️ honestly, i understand because i do too hahaha add a dartboard to your basement or garage hangout spot - tis a crowd pleaser 🎯 this is the one we have in our basement!
12 / kinto coffee tumbler
we love this to-go coffee mug!!! it’s so minimal & simple & keeps your drinks hot for so long. kinto is a Japanese brand & i love everything they sell honestly. we have tons of things from them!
13 / leather airtag holder
we love a super practical stocking stuffer 👏🏻 make sure he’s never losing his car keys, or backpack, or gym bag again by gifting him an airtag & this holder to go with it! our toddler takes our keys all the time so the airtags on them come in CLUTCH. alsooo this would be perfect for a secret santa, or something where you need a gift for a guy you don’t know super well.
14 / dagne dover toiletry bag
this is a superrr practical gift that he probs wouldn’t think (or care enough) to buy himself! grab him one that you won’t hate seeing out on the bathroom counter while you’re traveling. orrrr grab one for your dad, who i guarantee has been using the same crusty black leather toiletry bag since the 80’s 💀
15 / felt slippers
replace his old ratty socks with a pair of slippers that’ll last for years, & look good the whole time. ll bean always sells quality stuff, & these slippers are no different! i bought these for kyle for christmas last year & he wears them every day!!!
okay that’s a wrap - hope you got some good inspo for all da men in your life 🫶
