I don’t know bout you, but one of the things I love most about Christmas has to be that rush you get when you’re in the Christmas shopping mode! Everything from writing out the list of people to buy for, budgeting, finding the best deals, thinking of personalized gifts (because that makes it that much more special) and just having fun while doing it. And then every year, EVERY YEAR, I hit that brick wall when it comes to buying gifts for guys.
Socks. Pens. More socks?
I don’t know if I’m the only one facing the ever growing trouble of finding a gift for the men in my life, maybe lacking in some creativity here, BUT if you find yourself in the same spot, and are still looking for that special gift, you’re in luck!
I decided to take a trip down memory lane this year, and here is my list of Christmas gift ideas for YOUR MAN! If you have any extra ideas, feel free to drop a comment! 🙂
Sam’s How To Not Break Your Brain Trying To Get A Gift That Doesn’t Suck Guide
1. For the Sporty Man
– I recommend thinking out of the box and get him some gear to do the sports that he loves. Ex; If he digs golf, GOLF CLUBS or if he’s into working out, get him some lessons/passes for Personal Training!
If you’re into the Personal Trainer idea, Vesna Bliss (you can check out my past posts on her) is having a holiday special right now with a bang on price!
2. For the Classy Man
– Girls, let’s be honest. We all like men who smell good, and each girl has their own preference to what scents work better than others. So why not make two people equally happy (maybe us girls a tiny bit more ;)) and get your man some good ol’ cologne!
I personally like that fresh, minty, citrusy scent
Some good ones would be the Guess Seductive Homme Blue, Ralph Lauren, Gucci Guilty and Dolce & Gabbana Homme Blue 😉
3. For the Busy Man
– Does the man in your life head to work everyday in a suit, or has his laptop in his hand, or is just stressed out all the time? No fret no longer, get him a manly bag. Yes ladies, I just said, MANLY BAG.
I recommend checking out Pelle Italian Leather for some high class- affordable leather goodness. They have great messenger bags and briefcases that look good, and fit a whole lot of stuff as well.
4. For the Stylish Man
– If you’re big on following fashion bloggers, then you would know that Daniel Wellington watches are all the rage right now! So if your man, (or yourself) wants a change up in watch accessorizing and want the in with all the fashionistas out there, this is definitely a gift to think about. Plus, you can use the promo codes to get 15 % off, and the delivery is FOC, and fast! So perfect for last minute gifts!
5. For the Musical Man
– So fancy headphones are moving into the mainstream market even more now, and no I’m not talking about Beats by Dr Dre. I’m talking about a range of different headphones with different looks, from something more over the top like sparkles to something more chic and low key like the new Ted Baker x Experience Headphones! Surround sound on the go? Yes please.
6. For the Simple Man
– Now, I say simple in the best way possible. This is someone who just loves the thought that’s put into any gift. Whether it’s socks, or underwear, or pens, or books, or random paper origami that you pull together, it doesn’t matter.
Besides, ALDO has some awesome funky socks in the men’s department.
So ladies, have fun, Christmas is about the giving and even the simplest gift can have the most value!
Merry Christmas and happy Holidays 🙂
