12 Days of Gift Guides- Day 6: Gifts for Him
On the sixth day of gift guides Jenny gave to me, gifts for our dads and hubbies.
What do you get for the man who doesn’t really ask for anything, doesn’t want to spend money and is hard to buy for? Here are a few of our family’s favorite gifts for men.
1. YETI Backflip Cooler - Its a backpack and its a cooler. We take this to ALL baseball tournaments.
2. Top Golf passes - Gift a boys night or father-son night with Top Golf gift passes. Tuck them into a Jockey Being Family bear golf head cover where Jockey will then donate $20 to foster care and adoptive charities (a great gift for the adoptive dad.)
3. Vuori Clothing - After my husband felt my performance joggers, he asked for his own..and then some. Try the Sunday Performance Jogger, the Ponto Performance Half-Zip Hoodie and the Alpine Sherpa Jacket
(I have the women’s and its incredible).
4. LL Bean Hanging Toiletry bags - We know these bags! My husband used these his entire MLB career and if you’ve seen them hanging inside his closet on my IG stories, you can see he still loves them. High quality, multiple sizes and colors, monogram if you’d like.
5. Nike Mens Dry Icon Basketball shorts - Everyday $25 Nike basketball shorts.
6. Travis Matthew Beck Performance Shorts - When my husband finally let go out of the AE shorts, he upgraded to these. I’ve had him share them on IG before and the reviews from people who bought them were all positive. These are the ONLY “dressy” shorts he wears. These shorts are designed with four-way-stretch for movement and a quick-dry finish to keep men fresh. Available in regular and tall.
7. GCI Rocking Chairs - These are the Cadillac of sports/sideline chairs. Get the SunShade Rocker if you need extra shade or the original Freestyle Rocker if you like the sun. If you need a little extra room, there is also the XL Freestyle Rocker for our big and tall or plus sized friends.
8. Rolling YETI Tundra Haul Cooler - With over 2500 five star reviews and the availability to put an MLB or collegiate logo on it when ordered from YETI, this is our family’s most used and practical cooler for sporting events and days at the beach or lake. The YETI Soft Coolers are also a less expensive option if you need an alternate gift.
9. Stadium Chairs - These new portable and comfortable stadium chairs carry like a bag but offer the convenience of drink /phone holders and a clamp to hold the seat in place. There are also plus sized options available.
10. VANS Hi_Gore Hiking/Weather Proof Shoes - VANS makes hiking boots! For the guy with casual style, these are incredible. Use code JennyR15 for 15% off.
11. Manscaped Lawn Mower - Last year, my teenage son recommended this and although I was a bit shocked, it was a humorous yet practical gift. The Lawn Mower 4.0 from Manscaped is an advanced trimmer designed for a man’s body. Waterproof, powerful, and with an LED spotlight to increase visibility while trimming, they’ll be sure to get a quality trim every time. With wireless charging and a 90-minute run time, this trimmer is legit.
12. T.H.E Linerless Short by lululemon - The highest rated short by my husband, son and his teammates, T.H.E (Train.Hard.Evertday) shorts come in 9’ and 7’ lengths and have sweat-wicking, breathable fabric sewn into the crotch (‘gusset”) to keep them fresh and cool.
13. Rodney Scott’s World of BBQ - Nobody does it better than this guy! James Beard Award-winning pitmaster Rodney Scott cooked his first whole hog (a specialty in his native South Carolina) when he was just 11. In this cookbook, Scott shares secrets of his pit-smoked turkey, barbecued spare ribs, smoked chicken wings, hush puppies, Ella's Banana Puddin' and more, alongside gorgeous photographs.
14. MAN Crates - These are the perfect gifts for the guy who has everything. Man Crate curates gift collections shipped in wooden crates, ammo cans, concrete bricks, puzzle boxes, and DIY project kits. Choose from themed sports, grill, drink, DIY and maker kits. If you’re short of gift ideas for your guy, try The Bacon Crate, the Personalized Whiskey Making Kit or the Rib Master Kit (gift with cookbook above.)
15. Fast Growing Trees - My husband’s fruit tree obsession started when I gave him a lemon tree as six years ago. He ordered more and loved his plants so much he drove of a car of just plants when we moved from Florida to Tennessee. Choose where you want to grow your tree (inside, outside, patio), what region you live in, how tall you want it to get and then pick what kind of tree you want…they have everything from lemon trees to red maples! Use code Jenny15 for 15% off!
16. Bombas Gripper Slippers (they even have matching father-toddler ones) - Half slipper. Half sock. We made these Gripper Slippers with a new and improved fit that’s still super cozy. They also have a soft brushed lining on the inside to keep you toasty, and special grips on the outside to keep you from slipping. Plus, every pair comes with a little travel bag that makes packing a breeze. For every pair purchased, Bombas also donates one to a homeless shelter.
17. Hey Dude Slip on shoes - Part boat shoes, part sneaker…the perfect fit for a casual look. A light, flexible sole grounds a stylish slip-on with an odor-fighting cork footbed and breathable lining for cool comfort. The Wally are the most popular style for men and college kids…as well as celebrities and pro athletes.
18. Kiehls Facial Fuel Mens Skin Care Set - A four-piece set featuring men's Facial Fuel skin care favorites to help revitalize and energize tired skin. (I gifted this to my husband.) Set includes: Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub. Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash, Facial Fuel Moisture Treatment, Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm formulated for the needs of men's skin…with no shine to it.
19. Crocs - Grab them from DSW, typically cheaper than other sites. My husband swore he’d never wear them and now they are his preferred house and yard shoes. “I feel like I’m getting a foot massage.” The lines ones are perfect for colder months. From camo to plain, there’s a Croc for every man.
17. Travis Matthew Wrinkle Resistant Polo - Another favorite recommended by my husband and teenage son, also a Nordstrom best seller, this softly slubbed, piqué knit keeps men comfortable day and night in a polo made with a wrinkle-resistant cotton blend and plenty of stretch to let you move. My husband also says TM fitted hats are by far the best fitted hats he owns. (He has the one I linked.) He wears a L/XL size (which is great because you don’t have to know their actual number hat size to order.)
18. Pancake Maker Shirt + Star Wars Pancake Maker or Millennium Falcon Waffle Maker- The perfect combo. No explanation needed.
19. Backcountry Must Haves - Get 15% off your FIRST purchase with code JennyR15. Choose from snow/ski supplies, hiking essentials, camping/hiking gear, North Face and any outdoor near at Backcountry. This code is only good on FIRST purchase so load the cart.
20. Custom Wood Map - These laser cut, craftsman art pieces could be gifted to honor a childhood town, a special place in his life or even the city where you were married. Order a few to tell the geographical story of his life. This would also be a great gift for an athlete who played on several teams.
21. Williams Sonoma Portable Gas Grill - Designed for the adventure-loving outdoor chef, Cuisinart's portable grilling system is great for everything from beach barbecues and campsite picnics to tailgate parties.
21. Potty Presents for the POO- Crastinator in your life - (for the men who struggle with bathroom time management) - Why not gift the men in your life a little “care pack” of things that may help him be more efficient in the bathroom? Start with Toilet Timer , Slim Rolling Bathroom Cart to store all his necessary treasures , a custom Bobblehead of his quality bathroom time, Talking TP (record YOUR OWN MESSAGES) so he can be gently reminded by you that his time his up, a Squatty Potty to speed things along, DUDE Bombs STANK ELIMINATOR, The CRAPSman Poo Pouri Set, and just in case he can’t make it in time, Code Brown Emergency Underpants Set.
22. Shark Car Detail Kit - Although my husband’s car seems to be far less dirty in mine, I think this is a great gift for any man who needs to clean his car…or the car of the special lady in their life. The Shark Rocket Ultra Light hand vacuum is the one to grab for simple, daily cleaning tasks. Weighing under four pounds, this lightweight little crumb eater gobbles up gunk and debris -- including pet hair.
23. North FaceBase Camp M 71L Duffel Bag - I recommended the smaller one for teenage boys and this bigger one is perfect for the no-fuss guy who just wants to get a bag and go! Count on the Base Camp Duffel for last minute travel plans, weekend road trips, or simply for a place to stash our outdoor gear in a trunk. Various carry options keep you prepared for any scenario, and the water-resistant fabric keeps contents dry.
