The Guys! We all know the agony of searching and searching for something unique and interesting for the guys in our life, only to buy them….another shirt! Here we have a little something for all those (hard to buy for) men in your life!
To start it off…Custom Nike Shoes! This has been around for a while but it never gets old. Nike is always updating the styles & options for their custom collection. It’s so fun to go back and forth between different styles and colors. This is one of those gifts where you need to plant the seed early and let them be a part of the designing process. Designing the shoe is so much Fun! Send them to the website-let them pic a few styles and designs they like…then surprise them with a pair. The key on this one is to Hurry! It takes 3-5 weeks to get the shoes back. So if you want them wrapped under the tree, it’s time to order & hope they make it before Santa.
You can change the base color, the swoosh, the laces, and even add your initials. Here’s a pair that I designed with Leighton’s initials.
The options are endless!
For all those DIY guys, here’s a good looking yet tough tool bag. This tool bag by Garrett Wade is made out of buffalo leather and is the perfect size to handle the tools that you find yourself using 90% of the time.

For the man that loves cologne, Scent Bird is the Perfect gift. It’s a monthly subscription for $14.95 per month & you get a new scent (that you pick out) each month. It’s all top of the line- designer cologne & all 100% authentic. They call it dating a scent before you marry it! Ha! What a great idea.

Dopp Kits are always a go to gift… sometimes a little boring…. but not this Camo Dopp Kit by Urban Wrist. Urban Wrist is a company that I’ve been following on Etsy. The company is based in Los Angeles and always has a fresh, current look. This is a good one. Check out the other styles if camo isn’t your thing.

Shwood Eyewear out of Portland has recently introduced their new Camp Collection. I love all of their styles. This new Camp Collection is at a really great price point at around $79 (about 1/2 the price of their other shades), but just as sharp! I really love the wood inlay detail. Every pair is entirely assembled in their shop, in the good ole US of A. These shades are great & a perfect gift! Check out their process on the website: https://shwoodshop.com/pages/our-process
Ok..I love this one. The Ember Ceramic Mug keeps your coffee or tea the perfect temp. Genius. This is really great for the guy that drinks coffee or tea at the office. The coolest feature is the app for your phone or watch. It also comes in white. Even though this is on the guys list, it’s really great for everyone! I’m adding it to my list this year-for sure!

Up next is the Platinum Scratch Map. This gift is perfect for anyone that loves to travel! It’s a great way to see where you have been & most importantly…. where you still want to go. I think everyone has a sense of wanderlust and this map is perfect for avid travelers, as well as beginners. Love This Gift!
For the professional who bounces from meeting to meeting, check out these messenger bags by Ted Baker LONDON. Not only a great look, but a great price at Nordstrom! Both messengers have classic detailing that will work with any outfit.
In our family, a gift from L.L. Bean is always a good thing! These classic boots from L.L. Bean last forever and help us get thru the cold months.
Check out this new style that Bean is making in “small batches” this season! I love this combo of color!
Up next is a unique gift idea! It’s called Masterclass. A group of online classes from the world’s greats! There are so many amazing classes. It’s where Masters of their art share their talents with you in an online course. The masters, in some courses, even give feedback to their students. It’s really cool! A single class is $90 or you can subscribe to every class for a year at $180. This is a great gift for anyone who craves new info, new ideas, and is a constant learner!
We all Love our Swell bottles & this year Swell has a new Cocktail Kit. This is a great gift for your favorite mixologist!
I hope this Holiday Guide: For the Guys helps spark a few new ideas for your favorite fellas! Happy Shopping!
