Men’s Gift Giving Guide

December 9, 2020

I don’t know about you, but I usually struggle when it comes to gifts for the fellas in my life. Ladies- I can pick out a perfect gift for you in my sleep, but those special guys in our lives can be a bit more challenging. Below are some of my top picks for those gentlemen we hold near and dear.

  • Patagonia Better Sweater
  • Perfect Puffer
In Southern California, it never gets too cold so a light layering piece is the perfect cool weather topper. This Patagonia Better Sweater is lightweight while still being super warm, with an inner fleece layer and hidden mesh pocket for keys, phone and all his essentials. I also love this Nordstrom puffer coat. Again super lightweight but still cozy. Both jackets come in a huge variety of colors!
  • Sneaker Cleaning Kit
  • Adidas Ultra Boost Sneaks

For the sneaker head in your life, this Jason Markk complete cleaning kit will restore scuffed shoes back to new. It is way better than the Mr. Clean Magic eraser I have been working with the last several years! Speaking of sneakers, these Adidas Ultra Boost kicks are super comfortable but the color scheme dresses them up enough to rock with chinos for that perfect WFH look.

  • Herschel Duffle Bag
  • Nike slim fit joggers
I have always felt for the fellas, missing out on the handbag game, but Herschel is making some pretty legit bags for the guys these days. This camouflage Duffle is sleek and cool and big enough for a weekend get away- fingers crossed those are a thing again some day soon! Comfort has become paramount in the way we all dress but that doesn’t mean stained sweats are the way to go. These slim fit Nike joggers are super comfy but their streamlined fit makes it look like you still care:)
  • Assouline Book
  • All Jacked Up Skincare kit
Assouline makes the most beautiful books, wether you actually read them or just use them as bookshelf eye candy. Smoke & Fire is one you’ll want to read with man friendly recipes for outdoor cooking. Let’s face it, 2020 hasn’t been kind to anyone’s skin, fellas included. This Jack Black All Jacked Up skincare kit has all the essentials to treat all types of skin with a glycolic cleanser, moisturizer and deep cleansing wash.
  • VertuoPlus
  • Hypervolt massager
Nespresso has long been a go to in my house and is earning its keep during this WFH time. This VertuoPlus deluxe makes a perfect cup of coffee in less than 30 seconds. Another tech gift I love is this Hyperice Hypervolt Bluetooth massager. It is the perfect gift for a man whose wife loves getting massages but hates giving them (sorry honey!). Its bluetooth technology means it can be managed from his phone so he can multi task while managing his fantasy football team(s).

Looking for an alternative to all those big baggy Looking for an alternative to all those big baggy #dadjeans out there? I don’t know about you mamas, but I am working harder than ever not to look bigger than I am so the idea of putting on gigantic pants is less than appealing to me. Enter the flare jeans! This is my new favorite cut as an exaggerated flare creates a longer leaner silhouette overall! #stylisthack, most need to be shortened by about an inch or two to be able to wear with sneakers but still keep the bell shape. 👖👖My top picks linked in bio

Nothing says “Here I am guys”, like a rose gold ski suit. This thing is so incredibly warm and actually comfortable and under $200! Linked in bio❄️❄️
