Gift Guide for Men

I’ve got a gift guide for men with more than 45 ideas for even the hardest guy to shop for!

It was super hard to narrow down, but my top gift picks from this list for each recipient would be…

For Your Dad or Father-In-Law

Bristle-Free Grill Brush: This dishwasher-safe scraper tool works super well for cleaning cast iron or stain-steel grates. And it’s bristle-free so you don’t have to worry about wire flakes ending up in your food.
Time Capsule Stainless Steel Waterproof Container: Fill it with trinkets, thumb drives, photos, or notes to your future selves (or for whoever finds it) with predictions of what the world or future will be like. Then bury it! Fun, right?!
Shibumi Beach Shade: A great group gift! Give him the gift of an easy beach setup. We are absolutely OBSESSED with our shibumi and are constantly lending it out to friends and neighbors headed to the beach. It is a breeze to set up, is lightweight to carry, breaks down into a tiny bag (takes up barely any room in the car), and works better than any umbrella or tent. Trust me, this gift will be a hit.

For Your Husband

Tom Ford Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum: My brother (a serious cologne connoisseur) gifted this to Matt for officiating his wedding and OH MY GOSH it is so good. It’s a warm and spicy scent with key notes of black leather, violet flower and jasmine flower.
Game Day Pullover: I tried really hard not to re-use previous items, but I made an exception for this pullover as it is just TOO good not to include (and it was a best-seller from my last gift guide). With tons of collegiate and MLB teams to pick from, this quarter-zip pullover is the ideal mid-weight layer for game day in the fall.
Bluetooth Headphone Sleep Mask: Give him the gift of better sleep…which then gives you the gift of sleep too! This noise-canceling sleep mask is made with premium lightweight foam and features a smooth silk lining (super comfortable and breathable). The sound quality is excellent too and the mask holds a charge for 10 hours of playtime.

1. Jack Black Skin Set

This skin set includes all of Matt’s favorite daily products including a daily facial cleanser, face moisturizer with SPF 20, lip blam with SPF 25, and an energizing scrub!

2. Insulated Lunch Tote/Cooler Bag

3. Chili Peppers Farm to Table Grow Kit

Harvest chili peppers indoors so you have fresh peppers year round! Everything you need is included in the kit which comes with a large mason jar, custom organic soil blend, fertilizer spikes and organic chili pepper seeds. No transplanting needed either!

4. Cocktail Smoker Kit

Perfect for cocktails, bourbon, and whiskey, this smoker kit is easy to use and comes with a smoke infuser, a torch, a cleaning brush, filter, and 4 different flavor wood smoker chips (apple, cherry, pecan, and oak) — all without artificial fragrance ingredients.

5. Bluetooth Headphone Sleep Mask

This noise-canceling sleep mask is made with premium lightweight foam and features a smooth silk lining (super comfortable and breathable). The sound quality is excellent too and the mask holds a charge for 10 hours of playtime.

6. Pickleball Paddle

This lightweight carbon fiber paddle is perfect for the pickleballer. The polypropylene honeycomb core creates a more durable paddle and allows for better impact distribution. Available in 4 colors.

7. Golf Course Painting

One of Matt’s favorite gifts I’ve given him. This custom golf course print hangs in our office and is beautiful. If you don’t see the golf course you are looking for in her shop, she can make you a custom one.

8. Arccos Golf GPS Shot Tracker

On Matt’s wish list this year, this golf tracking system includes 14 smart sensors that attach to each club to automatically track shots, strokes, distance and more.

Note: If your golfer does not play with a phone or smart watch, you may want to look into adding The Link (a small, ultra lightweight wearable sensor that eliminates the need to carry your phone in play.)

9. Shibumi Beach Shade

Give him the gift of an easy beach setup. We are absolutely OBSESSED with our shibumi and are constantly lending it out to friends and neighbors headed to the beach. It is a breeze to set up, is lightweight to carry, breaks down into a tiny bag (takes up barely any room in the car), and works better than any umbrella or tent. Trust me, this gift will be a hit.

10. Portable Monitor

A portable monitor with 15.6 Inch full HD 1080P resolution that works without needing to install a driver or software — just plug and play. This external laptop screen creates a second monitor for increased productivity — perfect for gaming, travel, remote work, etc.

11. Time Capsule Stainless Steel Container

Fill with trinkets, thumb drives, photos, or notes to your future self (or for whoever finds it) with predictions of what the world or future will be like. Then bury it! Fun, right?!

12. History by Mail Subscription

A monthly mail subscription service for the history buff featuring fascinating detailed replicas of historical documents, like Albert Einstein’s correspondence with FDR or Parks’ police report when she refused to give up her seat. Graphic designers replicate them—handwriting, signatures, and all. So cool!!

13. Tom Ford Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum

My brother (a serious cologne connoisseur) gifted this to Matt for officiating his wedding and OH MY GOSH it is so good. It’s a warm and spicy scent with key notes of black leather, violet flower and jasmine flower.

With tons of collegiate and MLB teams to pick from, this quarter-zip pullover is the ideal mid-weight layer for game day in the fall.

Spikeball Set: The perfect game to bring to the beach or play in your own backyard!
Camping Tent: We have now camped in this tent twice and absolutely LOVE it. My favorite features are the huge mesh windows which allow for max air flow and a curtain room divider so the kids can have their own space separate from ours. If you’re buying for the man who loves to camp, you may also want to check out the Chillbo Couch!

Blackstone: Serve delicious food in any outdoor area (camping, tailgating, backyard BBQ, etc.) with the 28 in. griddle! The engineered space between the burners creates uniform heat to cook for two or a small group.
Cold Brew Coffee Maker: My mom got this for Matt last Christmas and he LOVES making his cold brew coffee in it!

Robe: This soft, cord-textured cotton terry robe comes in 4 colors!
Game Day Pullover: With tons of collegiate and MLB teams to pick from, this best-selling quarter-zip pullover is the ideal mid-weight layer for game day in the fall.

Gin Making Kit: Make your own high-quality small-batch gin at home. This kit contains everything you need to transform a bottle of vodka into a unique, delicious home blend of gin in just 36 hours. Brimming with bright notes of citrus, herbs and spices, the finished product rivals the flavor, aroma and complexity of craft distillery gin.
Sailboat Copper Weathervane: This Sailboat Copper Weathervane features a fully functional arrow and compass indicates the wind’s direction, harking back to simpler times.
Unplugged Sleep Helper: A screen-free device to help quiet your mind (especially before bed).

Pair it with this TV Projector (a top 5 seller from last year’s gift guide)!
My Life Story Journal: This “story of my life” memory journal book offers prompts for penning down memories, stories, and wisdom.
Smokeless Bonfire Pit: This has been a reader favorite for several years in a row and I have received so many messages saying how much gift recipients have loved theirs! The double wall design and bottom vent holes allow a more complete burn so there is little to NO smoke, which means you won’t smell like a bonfire when you’re done using it!
Creed Aventus Cologne: As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, this cologne is worth every penny. It is absolutely incredible and is Matt’s favorite.
Cole Haan Sneakers: Matt has these in the marine/gray/ivory color and wears them all the time. They are comfortable and look super sharp!
Tommy John Lounge Pants: I am a bit of a Tommy John fanatic (their bras, undies and pajamas are my favorite) and I love to spoil Matt with their boxers (the best ever, says Matt)! TJ offers the absolute best quality and softest fabric. I promise these are sure to be a hit!!!
Floafers: I got these for Matt several summers ago and I swear he would sleep in them if I let him. These waterproof driver shoes are SO comfortable, come in several colors and look super sharp. Matt got SO, SO, SO many compliments on these shoes all summer long. He’s obsessed with them.
