Here Come the Gift Guides

Okay friends, this is it. Cue the Christmas music because here come the gift guides…at least this is the first of the gift guides. It’s so hard to believe we’re already back at the time of year where we’re thinking about the holidays, but let’s face it. They are right around the corner.

If I asked you who the hardest person on your list to buy for is? I’m going to guess you might say the men. Am I right? Most of the men in my life always say they don’t need anything, and I’ve heard from other women that their men are the same. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it is a starting point. Food for thought, or you might want to go ahead and start ordering.

BROOKS OR ON CLOUD SNEAKERS – Like me, you might have a runner in your life. OR you might have someone who just loves a good pair of sneakers, or the sporty look. These are two of the most popular brands available and fan favorites.

RUNNING HAT – Whether it’s to keep the sun out of the eyes and off the face, or just to cover bed head, a new “ball” cap is good idea. The get bleached from the sun and sweat, and need to be replaced from time to time.

BOSE EARBUDS – These are Kent’s favorites. He is a sound snob, and swears they are the best. He wears them all the time for running, or watching TV on planes, etc…

VUORI JOGGERS – Athleisure isn’t just for us friends, the men have jumped on it and love a good pair of joggers. The Vuori brand is super popular and I’ve heard only good things about them. If you want a less expensive but really good option, try these.

BEANIE – Style or function. A beanie is good for either.

STANLEY COFFEE CUP or TUMBLER – Even the guys like a good cup to keep their drinks hot or cold.

BELT – Maybe a little style update with a basic would be work for your guy. What is it about so many men that makes them think if you have a belt, it will last forever? Nope, they have to be replaced when they start getting worn.

SCREEN CLEANERS – These would make a great stocking stuffer or add to a gift where you just need a little something extra.

ROBE – Saturdays with coffee, computer and a robe. Does it get any better? Kent loves his robe, and I like to spiff them up from time to time.

COLOGNE – I don’t think cologne is ever a bad idea. This is a very popular fragrance for men.

WALLET – I’m drawing from personal experience for many of these. Kent has been a fan of TUMI leather goods for years. This is a classic, slim line wallet.

BODY & HAIR KIT – I feel like this one is really a one size fits all. If you’re at a total loss, just go for a shaving kit…even better, get a kit like this and pair it with one of these.

Have you started shopping? I’ve got a few things purchased, but I suffer from buying commitment issues. HA! I’m afraid there will be a better deal…I am however learning to not wait. That’s a sure fire way to miss out. Buy now, return later. 🤪😂

Please don’t kill the messenger for announcing “here come the gift guides”. I know I’m not the first person putting them out. Several of my friends are ahead of me on this.
