10 Gift Ideas for Men

December 21, 2021      Sarah Van Wagenen

I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but buying for the men in my life is the most difficult. I only want to gift items that people will use, which for some reason, is harder to find for men. Here are 10 gift ideas for men, in case you need any last minute ideas.

gift ideas for men

Leather Toiletry Bag– A beautiful, highly functional toiletry bag will get years of use. The aesthetics of this particular bag are amazing. It looks so nice and is a water-resistant leather bag, with lots of pockets for organizing all the necessary toiletries.

Lightning Quick Charger– Kurt requested this for his birthday and it has been so handy to be able to charge our phones so quickly.

Theragun– I got this for myself to help with some lingering running injuries. Kurt thought I got it for him and has loved it, so I’m not letting him in on the secret. Here is a cheaper massage gun option that still has great reviews, as well. Both Kurt and I swear by it.

Electric Razor-Most men prefer an electric razor, especially to save time for daily shaving. We gifted an electric razor to my younger brother last year, and it has been a very well used gift.

Survival Kit-What man isn’t interested in survival books/kits? I think most of the men in my family would love something like this as a gift.

Cologne (Kenneth Cole Reaction)-Obviously most men have their favorite colognes but if your man doesn’t and is looking for a good one, my husband loves the Kenneth Cole Reaction and so do I.

Scythe-If you have any men in your family that love strategy games, this is a great one. It has a unique back story which makes it more intriguing when playing it.

Portable Phone Charger-This is the perfect gift for almost anyone. It’s another well-used gift we gave to one of my brothers.

Dad Joke Book-This is the perfect gift for that man in your life who loves puns and bad dad jokes, I’m sure you can think of someone who would love this.

Wallet-Men’s wallets always have so much wear and tear, so I feel like they always appreciate getting a new wallet and this Columbia wallet is good quality and should last awhile.

May all the men in your life feel adequately loved and appreciated, whatever gifts they receive. Honestly, at least most men are gracious and appreciative even if we can’t manage to find the exact thing they were hoping for, but didn’t tell us they wanted. Merry Christmas, and I hope you at least got a few helpful gift ideas for men.

Sincerely,

Sarah

“Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a “Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a sigh.” 🦋

There’s something about this footage of Dolly waving to the people lining the streets of Dollywood that feels especially beautiful to me now. Warm. Nostalgic. Joyful. So very Dolly.

I’ve been going to Dollywood since I was 4 years old. Some of my earliest and sweetest memories are wrapped up in that place.

Now that I’m grown, I’ve had the joy of taking my own children to Dollywood countless times. But last year was the first time I ever got to see Dolly herself riding in the Opening Day Parade.

Dolly was an exceptional woman.

She made the most of the life God gave her, and perhaps even more beautifully, she brought people up with her. She used her success to open doors, give hope, create opportunities, and make people feel seen and loved.

There was something extraordinary about the way Dolly loved people. She didn’t just shine—she made everything around her a little brighter.

The world will not be the same without her. But what a gift it was to live in a world with Dolly Parton in it.🤍🦋

The dreamy crème brûlée Saint-Honoré donut—golden, crackly caramel on top, filled with silky vanilla cream, and impossibly decadent. 🍩✨

I can’t say what I liked more: the satisfying crunch of biting through the crystallized sugar? Or that it was the perfect amount of sweet but not TOO sweet? Or the vanilla cream in the middle? Just try it, you won’t regret it! So worth the hype and next time I’m definitely trying the beignets, that are highly recommended and also look delicious.

Tips: Order the Noodles with Spicy Sauce and use the “spicy sauce” to flavor as many other options as you choose. 

DO NOT leave without trying Mango Shaved Ice + Chocolate + Mochi XLB Bao Buns with a side of Sea Salt Cream.

Because some of the lessons you remember forever can’t be found in a textbook.

They happen while standing in awe of a waterfall, exploring a national park, getting lost in a new city, trying unfamiliar foods, meeting new people, and seeing firsthand just how big and beautiful this world is.

Travel has taught our kids curiosity, confidence, resilience, history, geography, gratitude—and so much more.

The world is our classroom, and I’m so grateful we get to learn together. ❤️

Save this stop for your Yellowstone trip! You cannot leave Yellowstone without walking the short (paved) 0.2 miles round trip for this stunning view. 

They called it Artist Point for a reason. 🎨

One look at this view and you’ll understand why artists have been inspired by the “Grand Canyon of Yellowstone” for generations.

This famous, scenic overlook offers a classic, postcard view of the Yellowstone River, towering canyon walls, and Lower Falls. The stunning landscape comes together to create one of the most breathtaking views in the park.

And yes… it’s even more beautiful in person. I didn’t want to ever leave!
