items Tired of seeing articles about personalized decanters, phone stands, and koozies? Here is a list as told to me by my husband, a 34 year old normal guy who likes to golf with his friends, casually but not intensely watches sports, isn't super outdoors...
husband commentary: “These are great products, by the way. Every guy wants these. Even if they don't know the brand, they should want them.”

For the husbands that are golfers - it's hard to know what rangefinder to get. Do we just need to know distance? Do they do other things? Personally I have no clue. Apparently this one not only …. finds the range, it also has a Bluetooth speaker on i...
real husband commentary: “You just look at it, and you know where the hole is at. You just look at it, and you know the hole is 175 yards away. No need to point and shoot - it does it for you.”

Blue Tees Golf Player+ AI GPS Speaker, 10H Battery
This is literally on my husband's Christmas list. The guy walks about a half mile into work each morning (that's city parking for you) and was looking for something that was durable, waterproof, practical and still somehow professionally stylish.
husband commentary: “It's a bag that I can walk down the street with and not worry about what gets wet inside of it. I don't want my computer to get wet. I like the wood color because it's neutral. Brown and black are too formal.”

RAINSMORE Mens 15.6" Leather Laptop Bag
So we all have hair. Obviously. How do men prefer to landscape?
husband commentary: “It grooms all parts of your body. Safely. Also it's waterproof so you can run it under the sink… or whatever.”

The Lawn Mower® 5.0 Ultra | Ball Trimmer for Men
So this actually looks like something I would participate in. Could be a fun drinking game… like beer pong but with golf? What boys being boys should actually be? idk.
husband commentary: “Really fun for four guys to have a few drinks and pretend they're playing golf. Don't overthink it.”

PutterBall Original Golf Putting Game Set
So this wasn't something I'd choose, but he wanted me to include it. I suppose I'm not a man wearing a belt, but honestly, to me it looks like a seatbelt. Regardless, there's no holes on this belt so it's far easier to perfectly adjust instead of bei...
husband commentary: “Guys gain and lose weight. This belt fits you for that point of life. I thought it was pretty stylish until you said it looked like a seatbelt, but I'd still want it.”

Groove Belt - Magnetic Belts for Tactical & Daily Wear
This item delved into an entire conversation about how my husband and his buddy randomly started talking about how their underwear could be affecting their hormones while watching a football game. My husband doesn't love his underwear being super tig...
husband commentary: “I'm overthinking this. Do you want to treat your … what's the word… do you want to treat your lil guy like a lil guy?”
me: “what does that even mean?”
husband: “you don't want synthetic s*** around your package. It's sensitive.”

NADS Organic Cotton Boxers – Hormone-Free Men’s Underwear
Okay, yes, this is a pricy one, however I personally purchased this watch (in green, we're Michigan State fans in this household) for my husband as his wedding present. If you have a higher budget than I do for the holidays, this is a high-quality, c...
husband commentary: “With Shinola, you're making a statement without wearing a Rolex that just screams hey I have a lot of money. It's classy. I loved the one you got me. I want a dupe, as the Gen Zs call it so I don't lose it.” (lol what)

Runwell Watch - White
My husband had to spell this for me. Allett? I have no idea. But he has one and pulled it out just to show me what it looks like so it must be good.
husband commentary: “It's a perfect wallet for a minimalist or golfers because you can't put too mu...
Allett ID Wallet Jet Black RFID Blocking Slim
This looks handy. If I didn't have Apple CarPlay, I would probably want one of these too tbh. Fits right in the cupholder and holds your phone upright so that you can see maps or whatever the heck else you want to see on your phone while driving.
husband commentary: “Great for guys like me who have a hooptie without Apple CarPlay.”
me: “Is that it?”
husband: “…. I'm not Aristotle.”

WeatherTech CupFone Universal Car Phone Mount
I got him something similar to this a few years ago. A little miffed that he found a better version he's interested in, but hoping this recommendation will save you from this problem in the future.
husband commentary: “I like the one you got me, this one is just more modern. Convenient for travel without having to find all the cords. We can both charge stuff at the same time and you won't yell at me for stealing your cords. I do like the one yo...

Anker Prime Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1, MagGo, AirCool, Dock Stand)
We don't actually have a ton of tools in our house. I mean we do, gifted to us by my parents. But they have to be stored somewhere and this is a great bag to store them in. We have this bag (and DEWALT tools) and it's perfect for keeping everything o...
husband commentary: “It's a place for all guys to put their mismatched tools in one place, instead of just randomly floating around the basement or garage. Makes it look like you have your s*** together. If you're looking for a hammer, I don't want t...

DEWALT TSTAK 17 in. Multi-Purpose Tool Bag DWST17623
I added these myself. I suspect this is the case for a number of husbands out there, but I am responsible for at least half his wardrobe at this point. He likes to golf, and as a Lululemon girly myself, I've picked up a few of these shorts for him ov...
ABC Classic-Fit Golf Short 9" | Men's Shorts | lululemon
We try to pack lunches for work because, you know, the economy and whatnot, but it's hard to find something to bring lunch in that is:
a) effective at keeping things cool
b) doesn't look like you're in elementary school
c) has dimensions that fit containers, sandwiches, etc.
This one solves all three of those problems - plenty of room for multiple items and food containers, keeps things cool all day, and looks pretty cool too.
husband commentary: “It's a lunchbox that I'm not ashamed to take into work. Also Yeti is pretty legit.”
