Let’s face it…. guys are HARD to buy for.  With 5 sons and a husband on my list, I always appreciate some ideas for them.  So I made this list for you of things that we actually own and the guys love.  Here are 20 things that I would buy for my guys if we didn’t already have them!

Fashion —

1. Suspenders – these are in style for the vintage loving guy.  My 16 year old son wears them every day and it’s a good look!
2. Wood Watch – this made it to both my men’s and women’s list.  We love our watches from Jord!
3. Plaid Scarf – My guys love to wear a scarf with a masculine print, and what’s more masculine than plaid?!
4. Nerd Glasses – Not everyone likes the empty frames that kids are wearing these days, but I think they’re super cute and my trendy boys like wearing them.
5. Bowtie – I got my boys this exact set last Christmas and put one in each stocking.  They wear them all the time.

     6.  Toiletry Bag – My guys love having these.  They use them to keep their personal products in even at home.

     7.  Napwrap – This thing is so cool!  It holds your head, your arms, whatever you need to be able to sleep or relax while traveling.

     8.  Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones – These are a splurge that I got when I started traveling a lot and let me tell you… they are amazing!  They block out plane noise, kids crying, whatever and you can relax with music, audiobooks or just plain quiet.

     9.  External Battery – Several of us own these and I don’t know what we did without them.  It doesn’t matter what kind of phone you have, this will charge it.
10. Messenger Bag – I got this for one of my boys a few years ago and he uses it constantly.  It has held up well and looks nice.

     11. Command Cord Clips – Command makes some great products and these cord clips are no exception.  They keep your cords tucked away without damaging walls or furniture.  They’d make a great stocking stuffer!

     12.  BookBook phone case – My husband LOVES his wallet phone case (and I have one too that I am crazy about!)

     13.  Do Over by Jon Acuff – I read this book last spring when it came out and loved it.  For the man who wants to improve his work life this book is for him!

     14.  Back Scratcher – My husband has this exact back scratcher and head massager in his office and uses it a lot.  I’m thinking of getting one for myself.

     19. Insulated Stainless Steel Bottle – This is my personal favorite bottle.  It holds a lot, fits in a cup holder, is easy to flip open and closed and keeps your drink cold (or hot).

     20. Lock Laces My guys just don’t care for tying their shoes, so these Lock Laces are perfect for them!  They go into your regular shoes and they lock instead of needing to be tied.
