For the Man in Your Life {Gift Guide}

Shopping for girls is fun and easy but when it comes to the boys, I'm usually completely stumped and end up purchasing something silly or completely practical and boring. After a week spent with the guy in my life I decided it was absolutely appropriate to put together a small gift guide for the masculine meets tech fanatic (aka the fiance) in your life (he may have helped me with this one). 

PS: Masculine collages aren't nearly as pretty as girlie ones.

*Thanks to Taylor for this idea!

What fun gifts for guys. My husband asked for a new pillow - lame. Maybe I'll add a few of these goodies into his gift :)

Nicole Marie said...

umm want that flannel for myself!

I think an iPad might be on the list for my dude this year. He's been bugging for one and I think I can pull off a Christmas/Birthday combo gift with it. His birthday is January 10th so it's usually what we end up doing!

LOVE THIS. Most gift guides for guys are usually so silly, like they weren't made for real men or something. Your list actually has stuff my boyfriend would like!

And I totally agree with Nicole, I want that flannel for myself!

Thanks for these ideas.
You are totally right, I always have the hardest time shopping for my husband. I love those glasses though, perfect for when we sit in the living to enjoy a glass of scotch.

my boyfriend is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for - to "WOW" him - i came to the conclusion the only thing he REALLY likes are watches .. electronics, clothes, ect he always just so it's no biggie - but he never buys himself a watch but LOVES watches - so that's what i get him now :o)

OH my! Tanner was my go-to for Matt's gift and apparantly he still can be! These are GREAT! Thanks Alicia and TAN MAN!

Taylor said...

That list is perfect for a guy!!! I am going to grab a few ideas for my bro!!! (Namely a flannel and a toss between real raybans or nice earbuds).

Kimbirdy said...

this is great! i have the same problems with the mr. except he's a designer, so the things he needs are architect tools which i know nothing about and are way too expensive for me. i try to get him to tell me things he wants for FUN, but he has no idea. sheesh! :) he would probably love a flask though, and you can't go wrong with itunes gift cards. thanks!

Kacey said...

Great Ideas!! Henry is a #5 guy for sure. Elham is right Tanner still the man!

nicolette said...

what does it mean that i want to keep most of these for myself?!

fshnonmymind said...

These are all great ideas!! However, I would get the ipad or iphone before him, is that selfish of me??
Fortunately, the bf was the first person to cross off my list this year. He's not too bad to buy for, but my brother and father are a different story. :)
