2017 Holiday Gift Guide: for the men

Hey hey! How are you? I hope your week is going well so far. We’re back in Valdosta and getting back into the school, work, chore, life shuffle. The good news is that I think that we all ended up sticking with east coast time for the most part, so hopefully getting going this morning isn’t the worst thing in the world.

I’m SO excited about the holiday season, especially since I don’t have to sneakily listen to Pentatonix Christmas music anymore. I can blast that ish all.day.long. We have quite a few fun events on the horizon, and thanks to Cyber Weekend shopping, I’m pretty much done with the gift purchases. There’s only one person left… let’s all take a wild guess who it could be.

Why is it impossible to shop for guys?!

I scoured the internets and did some brainstorming, and here are some of the ideas I came up with for this holiday season. I’d love to hear what you’re getting the men in the family this year!

Bottle breacher. I’m pretty sure I include these in my gift guide every year because they’re a HUGE hit. They’re bottle openers made by military Veterans from 50 caliber bullets.

Wallet

Personalized photo coasters. We ordered some of these for a party favor for recent get-together and everyone loved them. They’re extremely well-made and you can customize with any pic or logo.

Head to World Market to stock up on some of his favorite international candies and treats + mini sausages, cheese, Nutella, and crackers
