Gifts for Discerning Guys
17
items These guys (who we love so dearly) are getting older and more discerning with the gifts they love to receive. They don't actually want a joke tie or a funny mug anymore. And you simply can't get away with giving them macaroni necklaces like the kids can. Spend a few bucks on something they will appreciate, and get a lot of use and pleasure from. Gift suggestions for Father's Day or their birthday… I bet this list will at least get your creative juices flowing. The best gifts are ones that speak to their specific hobbies and interests. They help to make living life easier and more pleasurable! And this is the spirit of these suggestions and gift ideas. For your older son, your husband or boyfriend on your anniversary, for your bestest guy friend… gifts for any occasion!
This bag makes him look hotter. Seriously. A good looking backpack with a solid brand name. He can take this on a hike, to the Pickleball court with friends, to the gym, or just out to the park with the kids or grandkids! Smaller laptops actually fit in here too. #affiliate
YETI 22L Backpack
If he's a sports guy, he might love something that is signed by his favorite player. This site is based in the States but they distribute internationally. They don't always have the same items in stock, so it's good to check in once in a while. And they have a rigorous authentication process. They might have something perfect for your guy! #affiliate
Autographed Sports Memorabilia
I'm fully aware that this is a weird suggestion. There is a beloved man in my life who loves his metal detector. He didn't know this was a thing until he used a friends detector, and became hooked on the challenge! haha Now he has his own, and loves walking the beach in his spare time looking for treasures. You might know someone who would like this activity. Especially when it gets them out into the fresh air to enjoy nature. #affiliate
A Good Metal Detector
Many men can take couch-surfing very seriously. They can spend hours at a time playing video games, which is fine with me! They work hard for the family already, so a comfy, well-made cotton blanket is perfect for his lap. This one is really soft, comes in colors to complement your living room decor, and will keep him warm while he is totally sedentary! #affiliate
Chunky Cable Knit Throw
You know those yucky slip-ons he has by the back door? Yes, they can be awesome and comfy for him to wear. These particular slip-on sandals are so cool, he will be looking for reasons to go outside. These shoes have been out a while, and the rave reviews mention that they are very comfortable, durable and easy to clean. #affiliate
Awesome Adidas Sandals
OK hear me out… He has a stressful office job and suffers from eye strain, dry eyes and headaches. So many people swear by this massager!! It combines with a cooling gel mask, compression and gentle acupressure to give a rejuvenating massage. He can use it for just 20 minutes (with some nice music playing in the background) after work, and he will be a new man. All the better to serve your whims and wishes ;) #affiliate
Eye Massager
Is he a meat guy? If there is space on your back deck for another toy, he might really like a smoker. This is a really easy smoker to use, and comes with loads of great reviews. If he really gets into it, there are much larger and fancier smokers to upgrade to next year. #affiliate
Electric Smoker
If he rides horses, motorcycles or bicycles, he will thank you for this wondrous cream for his chafed boy bits down below. It also works on dry and cracked hands. #affiliate
Bag Balm
This one is great for when he wants to do outdoor activities in the winter, or in our family's case, do some quadding in the backcountry. The eye holes are perfect for goggles to sit, and the meshed nose and mouth area make breathing a little easier.... This one is extremely soft, warm and comfortable. #affiliate
High Tech Balaclava
He can carry this set in the trunk and pull it out whenever the mood strikes. Pickleball is easy to set up and play, and most people can play decently even as beginners. Maybe instead of drinks at the bar for 2 hours with his pals, they can cut it short and get some steps in. We love our guys and want them to live longer right? And Pickleball is fun. #affiliate
Pickleball Set
I swear, a man is about 50% more attractive and interesting if he is wearing a watch. Nowadays, no one needs to wear a watch because we have all information on our phones, A man who wears a watch seems more refined, intelligent and hands-on in my opinion. His nose isn't always stuck to his phone, and he seems to be a little more present. Anyways, a watch is a really cool gift for your favorite guy. It might inspire him to step up his game. #affiliate
A Watch (especially these days!)
I normally wouldn't suggest getting a guy tech. They usually know exactly what they want or need, and are just waiting for the right time, or the right model to come out. I carefully suggest getting them a VR headset as a gift… well… because they might not get it for themselves. It is definitely a splurge, and they may be waiting for the next generation of VR to come out before committing. But if you have the cash free for something like this, I would bet that they would REALLY appreciate this as a gift!! #affiliate
VR Headset
Go and check if he needs another bottle of his favorite cologne. I know the world is leaning towards ‘scent free’ living these days, but I am a scent girl. Specific scents cause all kinds of memories and feelings bubble up for me. An old boyfriend of mine wore this particular cologne. I love it sooooo much, that when I smell it in the wild 25 years later, I follow my nose until I find the source. mmmmm. I love a man who wears (an appropriate amount of) cologne. #affiliate
His Cologne
He loves to wear hats. This hat is ‘elegant’ with the tone-on-tone design and quality construction. The navy blue will complement any outfit (if he also likes wearing jeans), and the brand YETI is know for high quality camping gear. If he fancies him...
YETI Trucker Hat
I have this massager, and I use it ALL THE TIME! Simply, the weight of your arms in the arm-holes are enough to give your neck and shoulders a great massage. I re-position this to target between my shoulder blades and the front of my arm pits, where I get the most sore. Anyone can benefit from this massager!! Your guy might love it, especially if he comes home with muscle pain from a physically taxing job... #affiliate
Neck and Back Massager
The more ‘manly’ he is, the better! Go with him and make it a fun date. There is no one (sane) on this earth who doesn't feel better after having their hands and feet cleaned and primped and preened. He will thank you for it afterwards!! #affiliate
Manicure & Pedicure
I bet he doesn't have a skin care routine! Try to force him into one… with a really good moisturizing face cream. Promise you won't tell his buddies. He'll look younger longer, and he'll thank you later for taking good care of him. #affiliate
