Holiday Gift Guide: Favorite Gifts for Guys

For years I struggled over what to get my husband for Christmas and he would never give hints or even a straight answer if I asked. But this year I sneakily asked for help compiling our annual gift guide for guys and he was totally up for the challenge with dozens of great ideas; so now I have a gift guide that covers all the guys on my list including my husband. So without further ado here’s what guys really want for the holidays this year straight from the source himself.

Top Tech and Audio Gadgets

Echo Dot

Who knew this little dot could do so much! It’s a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, provide information, read the news, set alarms, and more. It controls lights, fans, switches, thermostats, garage doors, and sprinklers with compatible connected devices. Plus, now you can order an Uber or Domino’s pizza with a voice command.

Beats Wireless Headphones

Award-winning Beats sound with Bluetooth wireless listening freedom. The on-ear, cushioned ear cups are adjustable so you can customize your fit for all-day comfort. Anyone who travels frequently or really enjoys music is gonna love these.

Powerbeats Earbuds

These secure-fit earhooks maximize comfort and stability making them perfect for workouts. Sweat and water resistance provides trusted durability and dual-driver acoustics deliver dynamic sound to power your workout or anytime you’re on the go.

Bose Bluetooth Speaker

Plays your favorite tunes in clear, full audio from your Bluetooth connected device like a smartphone or iPad… which means you can have music almost anywhere. It’s compact and durable, so perfect for using at home, in the yard, on the beach, or tailgating.

Stylish Home and Drink Accessories

City Map Glassware

These rocks glasses etched with famous cities make a stylish gift. This is such a great idea for grads or those who’ve recently moved, made even better if paired with a bottle of favorite bourbon or whiskey.

Drink Local Bottle Opener

These wall mounted ‘drink local’ openers are fun for the kitchen, bar area, or Man Cave. Bonus, it has a catch bin at the bottom to hold the bottle caps and eliminate mess.

Ninja Coffee Brewing System

For those who want a coffee machine that does it all and won’t trash the environment with disposable plastic cups like the Keurig or Nespresso, this is a great choice.

Outdoor Gear and Essentials

YETI Roadie Cooler

These are so well insulated you could fill it with ice overnight and it would still be perfectly frozen the next day. Plus they don’t ‘sweat’, so you won’t have to worry about it being wet on the outside. If the Roadie is too much, go for the YETI travel mug which also gets rave reviews and comes with an easier to handle price tag.

North Face ‘Bones’ Beanie

This lined beanie will keep your guy warm without looking like a sidekick from the cast of Vanderpump Rules. Highly rated and looks great, plus it comes in several popular colors.

Overnight Bags

I’ve included two here with various price points to match your budget: the Logan overnight leather bag from Frye and the Novel duffel bag from Herschel. Both are handsome and useful, plus you could throw some fun tickets or a travel kit in there to really take this gift over the top.
