Give Your Man a Gift He'll Love This Holiday Season

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Once again, the holidays are just around the corner. Even if you think you’re prepared, before you know it Thanksgiving has come and gone, and you’re looking at the last few weeks before that final gift-giving deadline. Your man does a lot for you personally, and for you as a couple, so why not make sure he has a gift that absolutely blows his mind?

It might seem simple enough, but so often we fall into the trap of getting the same old things in newer versions. Instead of getting him another lineup of new workout shirts again, take an inventory of his interests and then take a look at this list to see if you can find a unique gift that he’ll love. We’ve scoured the internet for some of the coolest gift ideas so you don’t have to.

Trippy Tunes
If your man is a music fan, particularly the vinyl format, you can score some big points with him by getting him a few records to spin in his free time. No matter what he likes, from psychedelic Tame Impala vinyls to classic rock, and even oldies, there’s bound to be something he’ll appreciate. Just be sure you check his collection before ordering so you don’t end up with duplicates.

High-Tech Turntable
Whether you get him more records as a gift, or he already has an extensive vinyl collection, he is going to need a turntable to play them at their highest fidelity. However, chances are that he’s using an old turntable, maybe even one that he got from his parents. 

Get him a solid upgrade by getting one of the many high-tech turntables that have hit the market recently. Not only do some have Bluetooth, but they even permit changing tracks and other operations with your smartphone.

A Symbol Of Your Love
No matter how long you have been together, renewing that commitment and dedication should be done as often as possible to keep that bond strong. Even if his original is still in relatively good condition, getting him a new, unique band from the Jaxxon collection of mens wedding bands can net you an amazing ring for a phenomenal man, at an unbelievable price.

Fancy Snacks
If you enjoy treating your man to some of the finer things in life, Imperia Caviar may have just the thing to impress your man. Whether you want to treat him to an incredible multi-course dinner featuring one of the most delicious delicacies out there, or just set him up a legendary charcuterie spread for a romantic afternoon or evening treat, caviar is the perfect starter. Sustainably sourced and priced affordably, you don’t often get a chance to obtain quality caviar like this, making it a wonderful gift and a memorable experience.

Summer Fun
Once the winter is over and the spring is in full bloom, if your man is the aquatic type, he’s going to be itching to go swimming soon. Getting him one or more fun pool floats is a great way to show him you know he loves the water, as well as showing that you are looking forward to spending the summer with him, floating, splashing, and laughing, together.

Portable Cool
Your man is cool, but sometimes you need a little extra cool to bring with you. This is where a Yeti cooler can be worth its weight in gold, even though they are priced incredibly reasonably. Considering they can keep your beverages and snacks cold for weeks (ok, probably not weeks, but definitely days!) they are the perfect companion to bring to the beach, the gym, tailgating, and anywhere else he may want to indulge in a frosty adult beverage, water, or sports drink.

Pocket Knife
While a pocket knife might seem like a pretty standard gift, most men will tell you that we receive far fewer knives as gifts, overall, than we would like. Knowing your man’s taste in pocket knives can help you pick out the perfect one, and the small ones make great stocking stuffers. Some guys like tactical knives, some like multi-tool style knives, but only you will know the one that fits your man the best. 

Smart Equipment
If your man is a fitness buff or gym rat, he may already have a smartwatch, but that’s rookie stuff. There is a huge variety of smart fitness equipment that he is probably drooling over already. There are smart scales to take body measurements and smart weights that track your workout intensity and form. There are even smart mirrors that can allow him to work out side-by-side, virtually, with big names in fitness fame. Bigger toys are more expensive, but there are tons of options to choose from.

Muggin’
If your man is a coffee addict, java lover, or just someone that enjoys a cup or two in the morning, there is a strong chance that he would adore a coffee mug that is uniquely his. From some absolutely legendary memes to obscene phrases, and more, you can get just about anything on a coffee mug. Cruise some custom mug sites, and you can even get his goofy mug printed on his own cup so that nobody else at the office would dare use it!

Get Spicy
Lots of guys like spicy food, and hot sauce is like liquid gold to them. There are a ton of artisanal hot sauce companies selling delicious hot sauces with cosmically high Scoville ratings. If you like subscription boxes there are several that will get your man a monthly fix of some of the greatest hot sauces around every month. It’s the gift that keeps on burning.

Solve Crimes
If your man enjoys true crime, you may find a great gift option in one of the many “to catch a killer” type subscription boxes. They arrive at your home each month, packed with maps, statements, clues, evidence, and more, to help you profile the mind of a killer and bring them to justice. Not only can you two pour over each case together, but you can even leverage spoiler-free forums to help you if you get stuck.

Digital Assistant
Another idea for the super tech-savvy man, getting a digital assistant like one of the Alexas or Google Home models can let him control just about anything smart in his home just by speaking the request. These are particularly great for guys that have expansive media collections and would like to access them and play media simply by requesting it.

Hardware Wallet
For the man that is on the cutting edge of cryptocurrencies, the ultimate security is keeping your coins on a hardware wallet that is nearly impossible to breach. Far more secure than app or software wallets, a hardware wallet lets your man keep track of all his crypto, with some wallets supporting Bitcoin, Etherium, as well as hundreds of other altcoins.

Gifts Your Man Will Love
No matter what your man is into, there should be something on this list that will make him look at you with awe and appreciation. From high-tech toys to low-tech tools, spicy eats or fancy treats, use this list to help you find the perfect gift for your man this holiday season.
