Gifts for Men
1. Monogrammed Wallet
Mark and Graham have a large selection of personalized gift ideas for dad but I really liked this slim wallet that you can have personalized. I know that Andrew will let his wallet fall to pieces before he replaces it, so now is a great opportunity to refresh your man’s wallet if needed.
2. Sperry Topsiders
These are a classic staple for men that are great for the summertime whether they are boating or not. I will say that my father actually prefers the ‘Billifish’ boat style for actual boating.
3. Apple Airpods
The latest and greatest in wireless headphones are the Airpod Pros but if you aren’t willing to shill out $250 on headphones, the regular AirPods are said to be very nice.
4. Kindle Paperwhite
Another great gift that I’ve mentioned before and will probably mention again. I just got my dad a new one and he loves the upgrades from the standard Kindle to the Kindle Paperwhite. It syncs up with your Amazon account and most library systems so you can quickly and easily get library books directly onto your device.
5. M&G Personalized Tie, Sock Set
If my father was still working, I would give him this set. If he’s wearing a suit five days a week, this set will give him a matching tie, socks, and pocket square. You can have these personalized with his initials as well.
6. Amazon Ecco
If he wants an alarm clock that will also be a personal assistant and tell you about the news and your commute, Amazon came out with this new Eco alarm clock. It works like or with Alexa to be a personal assistant to your morning routine.
7. Mini Drone
If he’s really just a kid at heart, why not get him a fun toy to play with on Christmas morning. This drone is compatible with most phones and would be fun to play with in the backyard. It’s only $40 which is wild to me but has a ton of great reviews.
8. Waterproof Backpack
For the commuter in your life, this backpack looks really nice. I’m not a huge backpack person myself but here in Seattle, they are super popular. This one is sleek and minimalist (love it) but also functional with a laptop sleeve, a couple of compartments, and is waterproof
9. FitBit Versa
If he loves tech and gadgets, you can get him a Fitbit Versa smartwatch for $160. I’ve considered getting one of these for Andrew so many times but he can’t wear a watch for parts of his day so I haven’t pulled the trigger just yet. I read a couple of reviews online and people seem to like this even better than the Apple Watch.
10. Personalized Grilling Set
If you have a grillmaster in your life, would they just love this personalized grill set?! I found this one on Etsy but there are a bunch of different sellers offering something similar. I think the carrying handle is just a great (and slightly humorous) touch.
11. Yeti Mug (or Tumbler)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, give the gift of a Yeti mug and they’ll fall in love. These mugs have over 12,000 reviews on Amazon! Andrew loves his and doesn’t go a single day without it. You can also buy them a coffee gift card and stick it into the mug as an extra surprise.
12. Patagonia Retro Snap Fleece
I remember my dad having a pullover very similar to this one back in the 90’s that he used to wear all the time. I might get him a new one since this retro pullover is back in style.
13. Sunlight Alarm Clock
Andrew has one of these and loves it. Especially in the winter when it tends to be dark and grey at all hours, this sunlight alarm clock makes waking up slightly less jarring.
14. Turntable Record Player
Another retro gift that he might love. I like the idea of getting someone a record along with this record player for a full and completely functioning gift.
15. Veja Sneakers (these Nike ones are cool too)
These are the ‘it’ sneakers for cool hip dads. They have been selling out fast so you can find more styles and sizes available here.
16. J.Crew Fleece Sweatpants
Since we’ve all been rocking our sweatpants since March, why not upgrade your man’s sweats for something really warm and cozy.
17. Dyna-Glo Gas Grill
Another gift idea for a future grill master. This grill has over 2,000 reviews and is only $119. What I like most about it? It has a smaller footprint than your standard grill so it would be nice for smaller spaces, backyards, or patios.
18. Heat Retaining Hat
At first glance, these seemed really cheesy but they are from the brand that makes the disposable hand warmers so I’m tempted to get Andrew one of these hats
19. 100 Hikes for a Lifetime
A fun and functional coffee table book for the hiker in your life. You can also include a gift card to your local sporting goods store for a bigger gift.
20. LL Bean Duck Boots
These boots are a hit every winter. They never go out of style, will keep his feet dry in the wet winter months, and he’ll likely never have to replace them.
21. Philips Round Shaver
Give someone the gift of a close shave this Christmas. Add one of the Kiehl’s shaving kits to complete the gift!
22. Sonicare Electric Toothbrush
These Sonicare toothbrushes are fantastic and on super sale right now! This basic model that comes in a bunch of colors is under $50.
23. Herschel Co. Backpack
This is a backpack that is insanely popular here in Seattle. You can see them on almost every street corner during commuting hours (pre-Covid 19). The entire line of Herschel Supply products are currently on sale at Nordstrom if you or your man have been eyeing something.
24. The Beer Bucket List
Grad this book for the beer enthusiast in your life. I think that if you grabbed them a 6-pack of their favorite beer along with this book, it would be a fun and easy gift.
25. RayBan sunglasses
I think that Ray-Ban sunglasses look good on absolutely everyone! My dad has been wearing them for decades and isn’t likely to stop anytime soon. You can find them discounted at Nordstrom Rack almost year-round. Personally, I say go for the classic wayfarer style or the clubmaster.
26. Kiehl’s Men’s Shaving Kit
I’ve heard that the Kiehl’s Facial Fuel line is great and this set comes with two of those products, the scrub for before shaving and the moisturizer for after, plus a couple more products for a close comfortable shave.
27. Shearling Lined Flannel Jacket
How cozy is this shearling-lined jacket?! I’m probably going to get this for my father-in-law this year.
