Holiday Gift Guides 2020

Well, Black Friday is here, and Christmas will be here before you know it. Have you started shopping yet? If you’re absolutely stuck I have created 12 fun gift guides for every person on your list!

FOR THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE:

This gift guide was highly requested. Although I am not dating anyone, I do have guy friends and a brother I know would enjoy some of these things on this list! Guys are simple, but I know how hard they can be to shop for. Whether its a boyfriend or brother, I think these are some great gifts that’ll make him happy!

1. Essentials: when in doubt, grab the socks! The amount of times I’ve heard my guy friends say “I need new socks” is comical. Save them the trip and grab them their favorite socks! TJ Maxx ALWAYS has the best deal on socks, even brand name socks! Timberland socks are great and super warm for the winter. Face masks are also something you cannot have too many of this year!

2. Wallet: I don’t know if it’s a written rule in the world of men to use your wallet down til it’s in pieces, but every guy could use a new wallet in his life! Whether you want to keep it simple or fancy, so many brands offer great wallets from affordable to high-end! Nordstrom and TJ Maxx always have great deals on designer brands!

3. Hydroflask: Keep him hydrated. That’s all I got.

4. Theragun Mini: If your mans works out a lot, or is someone who is always complaining about their back/muscles, I would recommend the Theragun mini! If you’ve never tried a Theragun, take my word of it, they’re amazing! He can keep it in his gym bag, desk, or car! Perfect travel size gift that’ll make him feel great!

5. Shower Speaker: If your guy can’t get enough of music, get him a speaker that works in the shower so he’ll never have to go anywhere without music! Plus, if you live together, it’s a super cool gadget you can use as well ;) #winwin

6. Manscaped Essentials Kit: I’ve heard great things about this brand! We don’t need to go into details, but, it’s the gift that keeps on giving….

7. New Game Consoles: WE ALL KNOW the new Xbox and PS5 just came out this year! I’m sure ANY guy would be THRILLED to get this as a gift. If he already bought it for himself, you could never go wrong with additional accessories. You can even get him a personalized remote with your face on it. The possibilities with accessories are endless!

8. Apple AirPods Pro: These are WAY better than the original AirPods, they’re noise cancelling and have way better sound quality. Headphones are always a great gift, and with remote working/quarantine they could especially come in handy!

9. 3 in 1 Charging Station: These are amazing, if your guy leaves his chargers/shit everywhere this is a great gift to get him! It keeps everything all in one place and ensures he can’t lose any of his things! Great for anyone who has the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Airpods.
