Is it just me, or are the guys impossible to shop for? Not only are they difficult, but it seems like when they want something, they just buy it. So there’s never anything on their “want” list. Well, I have done my research and asked the important men in my life and I finally figured out what they really want! Scroll down to see my choices on my Christmas gift guide that are sure to win them over.

Gadget

• Phone Sanitizer
  • We have all heard the statistic that our phones are dirtier than a toilet… especially nowadays when we are even more concerned with germs, he is sure to love this! This sanitizes your gadget with UV light’ practical but also super cool. Also doubles as a charger AND aromatherapy device!
• Noise Canceling Headphones
  • What guy wouldn’t want some peace and quiet… these ones also connect to Alexa- pretty slick! These ones are a much lower price point and have thousands of almost five-star ratings.
• AirPods Pro
  • Dustin has these and he will tell you how awesome they are! The noise canceling is very valuable, especially for those working from home with kids/dogs/distractions. Or even for use on an airplane! Superior sound quality and functionality.
• iPad
  • iPads are one of those gadgets that you aren’t sure if you will use it, but once you get it you didn’t know how you lived without it. Ours are invaluable for the adults and kids alike, from piano lessons to art tutorials.
• Amazon Echo
  • Yes, he needs these! If he doesn’t have one already, this is a game changer for being organized, hearing the news, watching a tutorial on how to carve meat on Thanksgiving, you name it! We have this one in our kitchen and it is so useful for setting timers for food or adding food to a grocery list.
• Sonos Speaker System
  • Again, another thing I learned from Dustin. He had these and I am blown away at the sound quality! We used to stream music on our Echos, but switched to these around the house (still using the echos in certain locations, because obviously.)
• Cordless Screwdriver
  • Add this to the list of things I never knew existed. How handy would this be though? Any guy would love to add this to his toolbox.
• Portable Speaker
  • These speakers are waterproof, portable, and have great sound quality. Great gift idea for the boat, golf cart, garage, wherever he is!
  • Also consider this carrying case for it to attach to wherever.
• Laser Distance Measure
  • Add this to the list of things you didn’t know you needed! These are super handy for all sorts of measuring projects.
• Pac Man Arcade
  • Take him back to his glory days!
• Wifi Camera
  • This camera is beyond cheap- only $25! It has excellent quality and can compete with the $$$ cameras.

Grooming

• Beard trimmer
  • Dustin has a full beard which I loooove, but I never understood the maintenance that goes into it to keep it manageable. He has one of these that works great and keeps it trim!
• Supplies
  • Stock him up on his favorites! Grab him some shampoo, hair gel, body soap, anything that he would appreciate not having to buy himself!
• Working Hands
  • For the guy who is hard on his hands- this stuff is magic! And not at all girly which he will appreciate.
• Hair Cut Gift Certificate
  • Do you know where he gets his hair done? Get him a gift card! Or, find a super cool place nearby (Scissors & Scotch here!) that he wouldn’t be up to trying on his own accord. Spoil him!
• SteelBee
  • Does he use a razor? This inexpensive gadget will make the blade last longer! Also protects your razor for travel (or for little hands in the shower!).

Apparel

  • These are a cold weather closet staple. The look great and keep you warm!
• Good quality socks
  • This retailer has my favorite socks for men. They fit well and have fun patterns, perfect for the guy who wants a pop of personality at work or at church!
• Cufflinks
  • Cufflinks aren’t something he will wear all the time, but when he needs them, it is great to have a nice pair! Plus, he will think of you when he does.
• Sweatshirt
  • Dustin asked me specifically why this sweatshirt wasn’t on the list! It is his favorite. It is currently on clearance so make sure you grab it right away if his size is still there!
• Classic Street Sneakers
  • You can’t go wrong with these! Great for the fashion-conscious guy, or maybe for the one who needs a nudge in that direction…
• Toiletry Bag
  • Handpicked by Dustin, this one is gorgeous and practical for the traveling man.
• Carhartt Beanie
