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.
