Soooooo, confession time. TJ and I are so behind on our shopping this year. We never are. Always done weeks before. Yet, somehow the time passed so quickly, and here we are, a mere eleven days before Christmas and I’ve purchased several family gifts, but in general, need to get my bootay in gear. Fast. Annnd if you’re finding yourself in my situation, not to stress. TJ and I put together some great last minute ideas for the guy in your life…. some are favorites that he already owns, and others are items he’s added to his wishlist (…. in all honesty though, I’m sure he’d be happy with a little mistletoe….). We’re sharing some accessories, gadgets, and some great stocking stuffer ideas below (and my last gift guide for the man in your life)!
1. Grooming: Such a great option to slip into a stocking. TJ’s all time favorite cologne is this Hermès line that he has been wearing for the past several years. It always ends up in his stocking. He’s also a huge fan of the Kiehl’s line of men’s skincare. His go-to’s include the non-oily SPF facial lotion, energizing face wash, and the eye de-puffer (he swears by it).
2. Gadgets: I don’t know many men who aren’t fascinated by some sort of electronic or gadget of sorts, and TJ isn’t an exception. We recently received the Echo (oh hey, Alexa…) and have loved using it (makes life a little easier…. if that’s possible with a toddler….)… and I’d say TJ has way more fun with it than I do (and we first saw it at my friend’s house… and her husband was just as obsessed). And don’t get me started on men’s obsession with drones… TJ and his friends think this one would make a great gift (quote from TJ: “All guys love **it that flies….” well said.). Oh, and this scalp + body massager is perfect for the guy who works out a lot, or just enjoys a good deep massage. We chatted about these B&O play wireless headphones in the last post, but the sound quality is impeccable…. as is this bluetooth mini speaker (we take it when we travel so we can listen to music in the hotel rooms….). For the guy who loves fitness, or who is looking to get into a fitness routine, TJ loves this fitbit.
3. Accessories: It might sound boring, but socks + underwear are always great options to stick into a stocking. TJ loves to add a little flair under his dress pants, so these striped socks are a perfect option. Annnnd, maybe TMI (??) but these boxer briefs are his fav. A few investment pieces, that TJ has used frequently over the years, include these gold cuff links (which were a gift to him), as well as this briefcase, and matching belt to his favorite shoes.
4. Bar Accessories: Always a great option for the libation loving man in your life (pair it with a bottle of his fav beverage of choice). A couple of great options include this set of beer glasses + this modern whiskey carafe. Annnd, top of TJ’s list is this draft beer system… pretty much turns any of his bottled or canned bears into draft style beers (he was like “I need this.”). My dad loves wine, and in the past, we’ve bought him this wine aerator. Bloomingdale’s has an excellent assortment of bar accessories for the man in your life.
Bloomigndale’s also has a wonderful gifts section for the man in your life, so be sure to check it out as well!
