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).

    White Haute Shirts

Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You c Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You can! The key is not going overboard and pairing it with neutral colors like white and camel. Still hesitant? Start with pink lipstick (I swear nothing wakes up a tired face more than a little swipe of lipstick)  or in your accessories like a hat or handbag and then work your way into clothing!

We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in La We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in Lake Havasu lately for a change of scenery- I guess that’s one of the silver linings of virtual school. Whenever we are there, I challenge myself to a play game I like to call “Find cute clothes at @walmart ”- Perfect for #FrugalFridays!
I have to say if you are willing to search, you can actually find some cute pieces like this tie-dye T-shirt I scored for $9.98! I’ve always been a big proponent of mixing high and low so I’ll pair a T-shirt like this with some of my good jeans and bold accessories to balance to look. My favorite budget tie-dye pieces linked in bio.
Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and stores and picked up this little nugget of wisdom along the way... @freepeople is one of my go to’s and as luck would have it, @macys online and some brick and mortars sell Free People and it is almost always on sale. I bought the henley in this picture for $21 at Macy’s while it was selling for $68 at Free People. Sidebar here for a moment, I love a good henley as an alternative to a plain old T-shirt! So my big take away is if you find something you love at Free People (and who wouldn’t) check out Macy’s before you buy! Check out my stories for some of my top pics for pieces currently on sale! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35R0Y
If you know me, you know that I love both puppies If you know me, you know that I love both puppies and hats 👒🐶 and while we could all use more puppies these days, today-  let’s talk about hats. It is the easiest way to turn an  outfit from drab to fab in addition to hiding roots, grease and grays or as I like to call it Covid hair.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I have had friends or clients say, oh I could never pull off a hat like you do. WRONG! Hats are definitely all about attitude so when you put one on you have to own it. If you think you can rock it, trust me you can. And if this past year has taught me anything,  at the end of the day, do you really care what anyone thinks about you?!

Until January 14 @travismathew is extending their 25% off friends and family discount to all. Their on-trend and super comfortable pieces transition easily from the golf course to the 19th hole. ⛳️🍻My top picks are linked in my bio. @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35tHQ
