I had to ask my husband for help with this particular gift guide because like most other women, I was stumped as to what would constitute as gift-worthy. I trust my husband’s judgement as he is a self proclaimed “snob” when it comes to quality and duration of the products he uses. Granted, they don’t need one-step hair stylers, an arm party of gold bracelets or another pair of ripped jeans that looks identical to the 50 other pairs overcrowding your drawers, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something on the market for them. Ladies, I present to you a simple, uncomplicated yet comprehensive gift guide for the special men in your life.

1. Ugg Slippers: JD wears these every morning he wakes up and as slips them back on as soon as he gets home from work. He says these are an absolute must have.
2. These Sunglasses: He swears by these sunglasses for driving, running, everyday wear. He’s had his for four years and counting and they’re still in perfectly good condition. As a pilot, he says these are some of the best lenses he’s ever had on sunglasses.
3. Calvin Klein Underwear: What man doesn’t need a pack of new underwear to replace the ones that are probably in tatters by now? These are great quality and on sale!
4. This particular Nespresso machine: JD is a coffee connoisseur and raves about every single pod he’s ever purchased for this machine. He first discovered this machine in our hotel room on our honeymoon in Bermuda & he’s been hooked ever since. This machine is also on major sale just in time for holiday shopping!
5. Wireless headphones: These are his favorite of all time, even over his AirPods. He uses these primarily for work outs and runs. I’ve tried these a few times and the sound quality of these cannot be beat.
6. Sherpa hoodie: I just purchased this for JD three weeks ago and he wears this hoodie non stop. He has a whole arsenal of hoodies and pullovers but keeps going back for this one because he says it’s his coziest & easiest to wear. Best part of it all? Its on MAJOR sale for next to nothing. Comes in a few colors too!
7. These white t-shirts: Every man needs white under shirts in their wardrobe. JD used to live and die by Hanes, but I started buying him these after the Hanes would wear down way too quickly and he’s switched his entire white shirt collection to these specifically. They don’t even have to be worn as undershirts, the quality is good enough to be worn with a leather jacket, denim jacket, hoodie, etc. Comes in a pack of three or four.
8. This windbreaker: Don’t let this jacket fool you. It might have a lightweight appearance, but it’s extremely durable and WARM. Blocks out any rain or cool winds. This has been a favorite of his for years.
9. This wallet: I have tried to entice JD with other wallets but he refuses to part with this one–and for good reason. This wallet could likely survive a nuclear explosion. He has given these as gifts to his other guy friends and the things they love are the number of card slots, the slim nature of the wallet, and the accessibility of getting cards & money in and out.
10. These jeans: JD has had this particular style and pair of jeans for five years now. I have a pair of women’s jeans from this brand and I loved them so much that even when I didn’t initially fit into them post-baby, I still refused to get rid of them in hopes of fitting back into them. Snag a pair or two for your guy while they’re on sale. They are pricey but honestly well worth the money, and it’s better than replacing jeans every year.
11. These sneakers: JD just purchased a pair of these two months ago and I haven’t seen a day where he hasn’t worn them. He says they are the best sneakers he has ever owned (and he’s owned a LOT.) They’re on major sale as well!
12. These socks: Hands down the best socks he’s worn, and they don’t get holes in them or wear easily. JD would own everything from this brand if he could.

I hope this guide helped a few of y’all with your holiday shopping! Additional links to these products in other stores can be found on my LTK page with the men’s gift guide image! Xoxo.
