Gift Ideas For Him

Whether it's your dad, brother, husband, or boyfriend, men are terribly hard to buy for. Here are a few of my picks that will hopefully give you some ideas about what to get for the guy who has everything.



For the musician: Pick Punch. I've almost bought this for my dad (guitarist) for the past few holidays. You punch an old credit card, hotel room key, any flat pieces of plastic you may have laying around into a guitar pick. Pretty neat way to be creative and give them something that they can use.

For the sports fanatic: Tervis Tumbler. I've always loved these and bought one recently for myself. Absolute perfection. Keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. You can buy them with sports logos on them if your man-in-mind has a ratty old Packers hoodie he's kept for too long. I bought one for my dad and it's a great way to have team spirit in the workplace. ALSO if you want to be uber nice, you could stick sporting events tickets in the tumbler of the team on the cup.

For the thinker: Moleskin journal. What else can I say? They come in all different sizes and types of pages. Perfect for on-the-go writing, school, or work.

For the indecisive: Cologne sampler. Absolute genius. This gift set includes more than a handful of different colognes for you guy to choose from. THEN! This is the kicker. Take the voucher that comes with the set to a Sephora and get a FULL size of any of the featured scents. This is great for those who are just starting to wear cologne, or the guy who's terrible to shop for.

For the handyman: Screwdriver set. Apparently you can never have too many screwdrivers. Another idea in the same vein is a set of wrench bit set for those that have lost all but the one that's on the wrench. Or a universal wrench for those who aren't too into home improvement projects, but need the basics. You could pair that with a universal screwdriver too.

For pretty much any guy:
Seinfeld hair poster. Just an example of some of the posters from this site: society6.com. They have plenty of posters, iPhone cases, bags, shirts, etc. Check it out - there is literally something for everyone.

Gap waffle t. Every guy could look good wearing this.

Watch. Das one pretty watch. They come at all different price points and you can get them at any department store, Kohl's, Ebay, etc. I think every guy should have a nice watch. But that's just my opinion.

Travel coffee mug. This thing is serious business. I'm always on the hunt for the perfect travel coffee mug - a tough game. This one had rave reviews on Amazon so I obviously got it. Works great. Still on the search for the illusive perfect one. Anyway, these are great for anyone. Whoever doesn't like hot drinks is silly. Just silly.

Netflix. Almost everyone I know has a way to access Netflix. If they don't, this is a great present for anyone because of the ridiculous amount of movies, shows, documentaries streaming on there. But, if they do have access (say their college roommate's parents password or an ex-girlfriend's login), this is an inexpensive way to give them some freedom.

Other sites to check out: thinkgeek.com, threadless.com, society6.com, decalgirl.com (for boyzzz too), urbanoutfitters.com (great random gift ideas)

Hope you enjoyed this!
