Holiday Special: Gift Ideas for Him
Guy gifts are tough. Whether it’s your dad or your beau, finding the perfect present for the man in your life is no easy feat. That why I’ve put together this list of 10 great gift ideas for men… Check it out below and if you have any other ideas to add to the list, leave them in the comments. Or if you're looking for gift ideas for her, click here!
Make him listen. If your man is into music, a nice pair of quality headphones is never a bad idea. Especially if he travels a lot. (Brownie points if they are noise cancelling.)
Dress his tech. Give your guy’s gear a mini makeover with a new cover or case. I like this iPad case from J.Crew. It’s simple and sleek.
Tell him it’s time. Men love watches like women adore shoes. They can’t get enough of them! This Timex watch is stylish and classic—a great everyday watch.
Update his deck. A nice set of playing cards may seem old fashioned but I bet your bottom dollar that he will get a kick out them.
Give him a stash. Wallets are something every guy needs. So why not make sure this everyday accessory is fashionable? There are plenty of great options out there at almost every price point. (Don’t forget to slip a dollar in before you give it to him—giving someone an empty wallet is bad luck!)
Play ball! If your man is into sports, give him the greatest gift of all: tickets to see his team. If he’s more of the music type, concert tickets are a great idea too. Same goes for theatre buffs.
Make him comfy. A few relaxed t-shirts make for a sweet gift since most guys don’t care to shop. I love the tees from Hozell (like the one above).
Send him away in style. Every man ought to have a nice dopp kit. I like this Jack Spade one since it’s simple and classic with great storage.
Murse him. Okay, so maybe don’t call it a “murse” when you give it to him—it is technically a messenger bag. (And for those of you who don’t know what a “murse” is, it’s basically a “man purse.”) This is great if your guy carries a lot to and from the office or is still in school.
For the Instagrammer. If he’s as obsessed with Instagram as you are, then he will love this clip-on fisheye lens. (Plus, you can have fun with it too!)
Do you have a great idea for your guy? Share it in the comments below!

Hi Lauren! I wonder if you could help me figure this out. My crush hasn't sleep very well lately, so I wanted to give him something that could help him sleep better as a Christmas present, something like one of those bags that are filled with herbs that you put in your eyes or shoulders and helps you relax.. but I don't know if there's something better or if you have any ideas. Could you please help me?
If any of you, lovely readers, can help I'll really appreciate your comments :)
Thank you! -
These are all fantastic ideas! I feel like I am all geared up to go shopping for my hubby ;) -

Me and my boyfriend are doing twelve days of Christmas themed gifts,
Something nice, something naughty, something sweet, something creative, something to wear, something to watch, something silly, something warm, something thoughtful, something to sleep in (pjs), something you collect, and something for the tree.
I like this idea, because there will be alot of fun and functional things to open for Christmas, and it's fun to see alot of things wrapped under the tree! It's also cool, because the themes could be taken alot of different and unique ways! -

Can you write a blog about gift ideas for your boyfriends parents? The first year I got them a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant and last year I got them a gift basket with a ton of stuff they like so I'm stumped this year! They're the nicest people so I really want to get them something special

There are GREAT ideas! My guy could definitely use a new deck of cards and a messenger bag! I also love the idea of headphones for a guy, but mine just bought himself a new pair :)
Thanks for the ideas!
