Shopping for men never gets easier, am I right??
Especially when you’re married to the world’s pickiest human being ever! That’s why I teamed up with him for this gift guide. All items you see here were selected by my husband, Josh, and thus live up to the picky-man standard! Josh and I worked to pick out several budget-friendly items that will make your man think you’re the best gift giver in the world.
To shop any item, simply click on it in the picture below and you will be redirected to the product’s shopping page!
TIMEX LEATHER chronograph WATCH
Josh has a LOT of watches, but wears his Timex chronograph watch the most! It is great quality and looks amazing for any event. It isn’t too dressy for everyday wear, and it isn’t too casual for work.
KENT 16T COMB
We would have never thought we’d be buying a $10 comb in our lifetime, but this one is so good that Josh says he’ll probably never have to buy a second one (unless he loses it lol). Josh says: “The Kent comb is handmade and designed with comfortable tips to not damage or pull on your hair.”
MISTER POMPADOUR BEESWAX HAIR PASTE
If you haven’t seen a pic of my husband, you need to see his hair! (Scroll to the bottom of this post for a pic of us) He never has a bad hair day (he says otherwise but it’s literally always perfect), and he totally swears by this hair paste. Josh says: “It is made with all-natural ingredients that provide nutrients to your hair and scalp. Plus it smells amazing!”
J.CREW BUFFALO PLAID FLANNEL
When I say Josh is picky about his clothing, I mean it! Luckily, J.Crew shirts pass the quality, fit, and pattern tests! Every year he stocks up on his new favorite flannels and button downs from J.Crew, and this one is one of our favorites! Use code ‘FRIENDS’ for 30% off your order (as of date of publication – if this promo code has expired by the time you’re ordering, let me know so I can help you find a new code!)
CREMO BEARD OIL
Josh got this beard oil as a Christmas gift last year (s/o to my brother Dylan) and now he uses it all the time! Josh says: “beard oil keeps your face moisturized under your beard, which can help you avoid dry and itchy skin.”
BANANA REPUBLIC CABLE KNIT BEANIE
It seems like every year beanies make a comeback yet again. This one is perfect for your man because it is simple and black.
EVERY MAN JACK SANDALWOOD BEARD BALM
Josh says: “Beard balm is kind of like your Mr Pompadour but for your beard. It is a styling product that helps your beard look fuller and more tame.” Josh uses beard balm every day. This is one of his favorite Target brands!
SILICONE WEDDING BAND
Josh and I are a pretty active couple, so we definitely get good use of our silicone rings. There are so many different situations to wear them: while working out, hiking, laying at the pool, cleaning the house, etc. And this one is only $9!!
WOOLRICH SLIPPERS
Josh has these slippers in the gray color and we both love them so much! Josh is only a few sizes bigger than me so sometimes I slip these on too (until he makes me give them back). The link says it’s for women, but these are definitely unisex. Just make sure you consider the men/women shoe size equivalents before purchasing!
MR. COFFEE AUTOMATIC BURR MILL GRINDER
We’ve had this coffee grinder for a long time and it works so well! Most high-quality coffee comes in whole bean, so a coffee grinder is perfect gift for your man who loves to drink good coffee! Use code ‘VETERANS’ for $10 off your order (as of date of publication – if this promo code has expired by the time you’re ordering, let me know so I can help you find a new code!)
BULLETPROOF COFFEE
If you’re still stuck on what to get him from the above list, you will seriously never go wrong with good coffee. Bulletproof coffee is amazing, on Amazon Prime, AND you can get it in whole bean or pre-grinded if you don’t have a grinder.
CREVO BUCK LEATHER BOOT
Crevo is Josh’s favorite affordable line of boots. Josh says: “I’ve had these boots for about 5 years and I love these because knowing I didn’t spend a fortune on them, I don’t have any problem wearing them in the rain and being hard on them. After all that, they’ve still held up!”
WOOL WINTER BOOT SOCKS
Socks make a perfect gift because they’re one of those items that people usually don’t like buying themselves. With January usually being the coldest month of the year, we linked some amazing wool boot socks that will keep your man warm all winter!
BONUS ITEMS:
Josh and I had so much fun picking out the gifts for this gift guide, and I wanted to share a few more items that I couldn’t fit onto my picture!
PATAGONIA 60L DUFFLE BAG
This Patagonia duffle bag is amazing quality and is perfect for any trip! The backpack straps also make it a great bag for camping/hiking. It is weather-resistant and has multiple zipper pockets to stay organized. Lastly, it packs up into one of it’s own pockets for easy storage!
FRISBEE
Speaking of trips, what guy goes on one without a frisbee? I know my husband doesn’t and neither do my brothers! So I can guarantee any guy would love a new frisbee for Christmas!
QUIP ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
Josh has been using a Quip brush for about a year now and says it is better than any other electric toothbrush he’s ever had. Plus it’s a fraction of the price and is now sold at Target! It is gentle on your teeth and vibrates when it’s time to switch sides. Electric toothbrushes have always been a Christmas gift staple, and now it’s an even better staple!
RICH DAD POOR DAD (BOOK)
Rich Dad Poor Dad is Josh’s absolute favorite book. The book is Robert’s story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. This book is perfect for a man looking for inspiration.
So there you have it! 16 gift ideas for the men in your life!
