Gift Guide: For Him
This guide was compiled based on things I’ve purchased as gifts in the past, ideas from Nick, or items he has received over the past few years and loved. I sometimes find it hard to shop for guys, so I hope this is helpful and provides some slightly unique options for you if you are in the same boat!
Shopping LInks:
Man in the Arena Poster: This first one is a suggestion from Nick. He loves this quote by Theodore Roosevelt about putting in the effort and not giving up. This comes in 4 different colors and 5 size options. A small business find from Etsy as well.
Greatest NFL Plays Slate Coasters: I bought these for my dad for Christmas last year and they were a big hit. They have the greatest plays drawn out for your favorite NFL team (or any sport actually, they have them all). I just thought this was such a unique gift. And my dad remembered each of the plays specifically which was really cool! Another Etsy small business find. I do think they took awhile to ship- so just to keep in mind!
Deep Tissue Massage Gun: This is great for sore or tight muscles. There are multiple different attachments you can use. Highly recommend for someone that loves to workout, or even for someone sedentary. Basically a deep tissue massage at home. This one is significantly lower in price point than the name brand options, but works great!
Nintendo Switch: I feel like I don’t need to explain this one at all. Definitely a higher price point, but I guarantee they will love you for it!
Garmin Forerunner 245: For the runner in your life- this tracks VO2 max, cadence/speed, steps/weight/water intake/sleep and plenty more…there’s tons of data you can keep track of in terms of health/fitness. Similar to the Venu 2 I have listed on the Wellness for Her guide, but includes more specific information for running. **Currently $100 off for Black Friday
Kershaw Pocket Knife: This one is Nick’s suggestion specifically. According to him, you can’t ever go wrong with a good quality pocket knife. Under $65, and high quality!
Carhartt Beanie: Not anything super unique or new, but I just love these beanies. They’re soft and super stretchy. I love these for myself as well. Comes in tons of colors, and would make a great stocking stuffer!
Black Rifle Coffee: We love this coffee. It tastes great, and also is a Veteran owned company! All around a great company and product. I linked their actual website, but I have also found this in stores like Bass Pro Shop, or Cabela’s.
11 Piece Bartender Kit: We have had this for over two years (bought as a Christmas gift for Nick) and use it quite frequently! I love the black stainless steel color, but it does also come in traditional stainless, gold, and rose gold. Has basically everything you’d ever need to make your cocktails! *It is NOT dishwasher safe, so just keep that in mind. We haven’t minded having to hand wash it, but I know that’s a deal breaker for some.
Nike React Flyknit Shoes: These are super comfy! I actually have them in women’s as well, and we both love them! Very lightweight and well cushioned. Technically a running shoe, but also great for casual wear.
Jack Carr Novels: This was another suggestion from Nick. He isn’t even a big reader, but loves this series. It’s a thriller series written by a former Navy Seal. This is the first of 5 novels.
Eddie Bauer Lightweight Jacket: Nick loves this and it’s great to throw on for a walk/errands, but also dressy enough to wear out. Good for as cold as -10º weather, sheds moisture and has a lightweight down filling. I would say this runs true to size. **Currently on MAJOR sale for Black Friday: $39, typically $99 (not sure how long that will last, so I’d snag it if you’re interested!)
