Holiday Gift Guide: For Him

Shopping for guys can be really tough – my friends have been asking me for ideas for their significant others and so I’ve started making a list of the staples I usually think through when trying to buy anything for a dude.

• Cool gadget — this shaving tool is incredible! It’s the Clarisonic for guys pre-shave and I can almost guarantee they will be thanking you for this (once you can get him to use it)
• Bar/Drinking items – because let’s be honest, what guy doesn’t enjoy something related to this?
• Watch — a worthwhile investment for a man looking for step up his watch game, perfect for a special occasion
• Vest or Down Jacket – something comfortable and warm? Did I mention the vest is flannel lined and reversible?
• Tie — every guy should own at least one really nice tie
• Cufflinks or Tie Clip — same thing goes, you will wear them and you don’t need a ton of them but having a nice one is worth the investment
• Something funny — the best way to a man’s heart is through his belly (food and laughter)
• Something they wouldn’t buy for themselves necessarily and worth it — you know, like a solid pair of boots. Red Wings are the jam, they are very well made and look great with almost everything!
• A little something for the office — My Dad loved framed photos for his office of our family, so what better than a little globe decor (that is especially nice after the work day ends)

If all else fails, go with something adventurous and gadget-y! They will be less likely to return it and there will be no issues with how it fits :). What are your go-to’s for shopping for the men in your lives?

It’s very rare that Anthropologie will actually go completely on sale, so when it happens it’s worth shouting from the rooftops and sharing with everyone that you know. Today they’re doing 20% off of everything, which is huge!

Every year I stock up on a new Voluspa candle (my absolute favorite are French Cade Lavender and Gogi Tarocco Orange) and a cute mug. These are a perfect gift for friends and colleagues because they’re only $8 and will get a ton of use (get them fast they sold out last year because they’re limited edition)!

It’s also a great chance to score some boots or a party dress that you’ve been eye-ing for this Holiday season. These are some of the best over the knee boots I’ve seen and similar to a version I have in brown that I’ve worn for years. Another of my favorite items to gift is this marbled cheese board set – too cute and under $100!

P.S. – Don’t forget you can always find more gift ideas under $100 and for him and her if you’re needing some inspiration!
