Holiday Gift Guide for the Guys

Hey y’all!  Today I’m sharing a few gift ideas for the guys in your life.  They are always hard to buy for, so this year, I enlisted Brian to share some of his favorite things that he can’t live without.  We have a really great list this year, and I’m hoping you will all find it helpful!

As always, the items come from a wide range of price points, so there should something for every budget!

1 – Athletic Shorts

These athletic shorts are made from quick-dry fabric, and they have zipper pockets for your phone and keys.  Brian purchased these recently and he loves them.  They’re ridiculously affordable and they have excellent reviews, too.

 

2 – Apple Watch

I have been wearing an Apple Watch for five years, and Brian is starting year two with his, and neither of us could live without ours!  He loves his just as much as I love mine.  We both primarily use ours for checking notifications when our phone isn’t close by, tracking steps, and tracking workouts, among other things.  And the best part is, if you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on the newest model, the 2024 model is deeply discounted since they’re trying to push out the rest of the inventory.

 

3 – Lock Laces No-Tie Shoelaces

These LockLaces attach to any sneaker to make them slide-on shoes that do not require any shoelace tying.  Brian loves these and so do both of our kids.  Nobody ever has to take the time to tie (and re-tie) shoelaces, and shoes are on and off in seconds.  These would be a great stocking stuffer for pretty much anyone!  Oh, and they come in tons of different colors to match pretty much any shoe!

 

4 – O-Keefe’s Working Hands Cream

I talk about this hand cream all the time on the blog because it’s the only hand cream I have used since I found it.  It is, by far, the best hand cream I’ve ever tried.  I put it on once every night before bed, and my hands stay well moisturized all throughout the next day.  It’s scent-free and it’s not greasy at all, making it the perfect lotion for any guy who needs relief from dry skin but doesn’t want any frills.

 

5 – Pajama Pants

These pajama pants are a great, festive gift for the guy who has everything.  Brian often wears flannel pajama pants during the winter because they keep him warm, but don’t make him overly hot like fleece or other overly warm fabrics. 

 

6 – Antenna

What a throwback, right?!  But yes, antennas actually still serve a purpose in 2025 for those who want a safety net in case the cable or internet goes out!  We have YouTube TV, so we have been one of the unlucky millions who just lost ABC and ESPN (DURING FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!), so Brian just purchased this antenna to pick up ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, and all other major stations so we can access some of the college football games for FREE.  While this won’t get you ESPN, at least you have peace of mind that you can access local stations in case cable, satellite, or internet goes down.  It’s totally free this way, too!  No provider needed!  And this antenna has an impressive 70-mile range!

 

7 – On Cloud Men’s Sneakers

I love mine so much that I thought I’d add them to my gift list for the guys.  These are truly the best sneakers I’ve ever put on my feet, and I can confirm that they keep my feet feeling good even after hours upon hours of wear.  I wore mine all over Universal Studios last month and they were so comfy even after hours upon hours of walking and standing.  I’m sure any guy would appreciate them, too, and they look so sharp!

 

8 – Ugg Slippers

It wouldn’t be a gift guide without cozy slippers!  These Ugg Slippers are leather and shearling – the perfect combination for guaranteed warmth!

 

9 – Vuori Joggers

Perfect for workouts, bumming around the house, running errands, or a casual day out, these joggers are comfy and stylish.  I bought some of these for Brian last year and he wears them all the time.  They are pricier than some, but they are high quality and hold up very well over time.  They come in several different colors, too.

 

10 – Fish Corkscrew

This corkscrew comes in a fun fish design, and it’s equipped with a bottle opener and a foil cutter… another great idea for a stocking stuffer!

 

11 – Adjustable Dumbbells

These dumbbells come in several different options for max weight, and each set has five different weight options in each single dumbbell!  Such a great space saver!  It only takes one second to adjust the weight… the 25 lbs. set adjusts to 5 lbs., 10 lbs., 15 lbs., 20 lbs., and 25 lbs. with just the turn of a dial, and each dumbbell also has a safety weight dial system ensuring that each dumbbell set is firm and stable.  These are highly rated with excellent reviews, and they come with a lifetime warranty!  They offer multiple sets so you can find the set that suits your needs.  Brian purchased some very similar to these last year (his actual ones are sold out), and he uses them almost every day.

 

12 – Mini Chainsaw

Brian highly recommended adding this mini chainsaw to my list because he has one and loves it.  It’s perfect for trimming trees and wood cutting, without having to deal with a traditional, large chainsaw.  This one is lightweight, you can use it with one hand, and it’s cordless, coming with two rechargeable batteries… perfect for little jobs around yard.

 

13 – TheraGun Mini

This is a great gift for anyone – not just men! – and I actually have this on my wish list since I have so much trouble with tight and fatigued trapezius muscles.  This compact massager is small, lightweight, and ultra-portable, so it fits right in your purse or gym bag.  It can go wherever you go to relieve aches and pains and reduce stress and tension.  It has three high quality attachments that target aches, pains, and tension, and it has three speeds.  You can even connect this one to the Therabody app to follow step-by-step guided routines.

 

14 – Nike Socks

Nike socks with the swoosh are back in style yet again, and I think it’s safe to say that most people are here for it!  Socks always make great stocking stuffers, and these Nike Swoosh socks come in white and black, so there are different options.  Brian loves the black ones with the white swoosh… they’re all he wears. 

 

And that’s it, y’all!  I hope you found a little something for each of the men in your lives!
