The Ultimate Gift Guide: For Him

 



 

 

I don’t know why – but I always struggle with finding gifts for men. It’s not that the men I buy gifts for are high-maintenance and picky, it’s just always hard to find something just right. Since birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day etc. come up every year (haha), I decided to round up some of my favourite gift items for Him that seem to have been quite the successes.

 

To give you a happy medium of all kinds of gift ideas, I have tried to pull together a full range of products for the man in your life, whether he is the athletic type, book lover, techie, adventurer…or all of the above!

 

 

Like I said, men aren’t always the easiest to buy for & I don’t know about yours – but mine is always wanting something functional (…unlike me who wants things just because they are pretty haha can I get an amen?!).

 



 

Hopefully this curated list of some of my favourite “for him products” will help with the “I can actually use this” department!

 

 

TRX Force Tactical

 

Basically, a workout tool that you can literally use anywhere to get a full body workout. It’s perfect for small spaces, or when traveling! It’s definitely an investment – but ..they’re worth it! Get it here

 

 

 

Jump Rope

 

Black Stainless Steel Tumbler

 

For the man in your life who loves things simple but stylish – you really can’t go wrong with all black. I was able to pick one up at Starbucks, but you can really find them anywhere. Check this one out!

 

Gerber Dime Multi-Tool

 

Deep Tissue Massage Roller 

 

My husband swears by his massage roller + suggests it to anyone in sports or works out!

 

Shoe Dog

Whether your man always has his head in a book or just loves a good story, the memoir from the creator of Nike will spike just about anyone’s interest!

 

IRWIN VISE-GRIP GrooveLock Pliers Set

 

Powerbeats3 Wireless

 

A bit of an investment but you really can’t go wrong with wireless earbuds. No matter what you’re into, these will make listening to music effortless, anywhere.

 

 

Colourful Laces

 

A fun little pick-me-up gift to make any shoe original. These particular ones are for dress shoes, but there are all kinds out there for every type of shoe. They are little but mighty, I just love them. No matter what kind of man you have in your life, they shouldn’t take themselves TOO seriously!

 

 

Capital Gaines: Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff

 

Whether the handy person in your life is a reader or not, this book is sure to entertain and inspire them. There is nothing wrong with edging someone to become a reader!

 

MVMT Watch

 

My husband & I both have MVMT watches and we LOVE them! They are fairly priced but are amazing quality … & they have every kind of style! Use code BSTRAWBRIDGE for 10% off any MVMT watch. SHOP HERE

 

 

Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug

 

The Book of Home How-To

 

HANGO Insulated Lunch Bag

 

It’s hard to find a stylish & simple lunch bag for men that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg – until I came across this one! Amazing quality and a lunch bag don’t get much better looking. We have had these for a few years and really like them! You can purchase the set of 2 and get a medium & large lunch bag depending on what you need! A definite must-have for anyone who takes a lunch outside of their home 🙂 This is such a great gift for the price!

 

 

Field Notes Kraft Ruled 3-Pack 

 

A place for all the measurements, scattered thoughts, to do lists – this won’t go unappreciated!

 

Custom Leathercraft 3 Pocket Suede Tool Bag

 

Douchebags Backpack

 

This beauty will be a bit of an investment, maybe a birthday or Christmas gift…but it’s quite remarkable. It is THE traveler’s backpack & it’s just perfection! It opens from the front so you can see everything in it quickly, & has a special padded pocket for your laptop. On top of the amazing quality – it’s pretty darn slick looking I think. The particular one in the photo is the Limited Leather edition but they have all kinds of varieties! My husband has 2 and uses them constantly (especially with having kids, diaper bags aren’t the coolest for them to wear! haha)

 

 

Noise Reduction Safety Ear Muffs

 

This is usually something very much needed, but never a priority to buy…so give the gift of safety!

 

What are some of your go-to’s when buying gift for the men in your life? Comment below!

  2. Great gift guide! These are wonderful gift ideas. I see a couple of items that the Mister would love and a few items that I would have never thought of getting him.

  3. Okay I have to admit I’m laughing a little bit at the backpack name, lol! Is that the brand name? That being said, it looks super nice, as does the watch, so I’d choose one of those.

  6. It’s funny that you talk about the TRX ropes! That is definitely something my husband and I love to do. I should buy him something like that so he can do it at home and not at the gym all the time. Great idea.

  7. Guys can be so hard to shop for! These sound like some great gift ideas. I think I will look into the strap, and I’m wondering if it could be used for stretching exercises as well.

  8. I always felt my husband was easy to by for. He never bought things just for him so we always had a big range of gifts to buy for him. I love all of your suggestions!

  10. I struggle with what to get my husband for a gift as well! I feel like they have it easier, most woman will like jewelry or flowers, but guys are more difficult. I really love that watch, I think my husband would like that for sure.

  13. I always really struggle with gift ideas for him so this is such a great list to be able to have to hand and hopefully will help with some present buying this year.

  16. Wow, this are great picks and suggestion. My father has already requested what we will be giving this Father’s day so we didn’t have to choose and decide what to give. However, maybe on some other occasion, this items will be a great guide.

  26. I love buying my husband all things tools for car repairs.. He does all of our car repairs plus family + friends and since he isn’t a tech he doesn’t have everything he needs. It gives him tools to do the work he loves and also brings in a bit of extra money | win win!
