Gift Guide: For Him
The other day on Instagram I asked my followers if you have any specific requests for gift ideas and overwhelmingly, I heard back from you all that you wanted suggestions on what to buy the men in your life.
So here you have it, the next Simply Elegant Gift Guide all focused on gifts for guys. Arguably most often, the hardest people to shop for!
Gift Ideas for Men
$98+
These button-down men's shirts get countless 5-star reviews as they offer a wide range of size options that include various sleeve lengths, tailoring availability and the chance to select a more classic or tailored cut.
$99
If he has an iPhone 12 or 13 it is MagSafe compatible, which means he can charge his phone wirelessly with any of Apple's new accessories. This external battery pack would make a great gift so he can never use the excuse that his phone died again.
And then this MagSafe Car Mount is another great gift (or stocking stuffer!)
$185
If you already own a pair of Rothy's shoes for yourself, then you know these knit shoes are incredibly comfortable. The new men's loafer could make a great addition to any guy's closet.
$22+
The holiday season is always the perfect time to break out a board game! Be it Yahtzee or Chess; this is a gift that is sure to please the whole family!
$248
Forget a new gym subscription and give him this weighted jump rope set with a corresponding app subscription. My dad swears by this full-body workout.
$88
Upgrade his wardrobe with this super soft long sleeve striped polo from this small brand. My dad has a few of these and says they are great!!
$79+
Everyone deserves to have warm feet this winter! So treat him to a cozy pair of slippers! This Moccasin Slipper Style is great if he likes a more classic look or if he is more minimal he might prefer this popular 'Wicked Good' style.
$100
Help him upgrade from the drugstore razor to this single-blade wet shaving system. I, of course, can't speak to this product personally - but this is what my dad uses, so it comes approved by him. :)
$195
These comfortable leather shoes are made by hand in Turkey. They will initially be a bit snug but will become more comfortable with each wear. (My brother wears his blue pair all the time!)
$7+
Is he always out on the golf course? These high-quality wooden golf tees would make the perfect stocking stuffer (as they are under $10!) You can even customize them!
$34+
Don't worry about sitting down and taking the time to needlepoint him something custom; this sibling-owned brand offers a wide assortment of needlepoint belts, hats, key-fobs and more!
$168
What guy couldn't use another belt in his closet? This small, female-founded business uses Kilim rugs, made mainly by women in Istanbul, and repurposes them on shoes and accessories.
$189
Hard to go wrong by gifting a classic set of pajamas! This option from Sleepy Jones comes in a wide range of patterns from traditional pale blue to gingham, plaids and stripes.
$195
Be prepared for any natural disaster or emergency with this to-go pack. The kit contains 50+ survival essentials (from water, meal replacements, a radio and more) for a family of 4 to use over a 3-day period.
$525+
In my mind, there is nothing more classic than a Belgian Loafer. You can't go wrong and they will last him for years. However, I suggest buying these shoes in person at their Upper East Side store as the fit is quite unique.
(You can see an old pair of my dad's Belgian Shoes in this interview on the Fewer & Beter Blog.)
$30+
Another gift idea for the golfer in your family (that I can take no credit for thinking of, as this product is quite niche, but the guys in my life are big fans!)
These golf maps are a modern version of a yardage book as they include details about the slope of the green, notes on how your put might break, and a birds-eye view of each hole and the hazards you want to avoid.
This would certainly make a fun gift for any man in your life who spends too much time on the golf course, simply search for their go-to course, and you will be all set with the perfect stocking stuffer!
$99
No more untied sneaker laces. This sneaker is a gift guide addition from my older brother, as these shoes are on his wish list this holiday season. He told me what is cool about the shoes is that the company designed them for you to slide them on your feet hands-free. (Isn't that what most of us do anyway?!).
$18
Upgrade cocktail hour with this spicy simple syrup. I love this in margaritas!
$27
Is he always adding hot sauce to his scrambled eggs? Win him over with this small-batch, Charleston-based hot sauce.
$50+
The perfect stocking stuffer! Perhaps not the most exciting gift but certainly useful!
Each day, this Napa-based website lists a new wine at a great price (30-70% off retail), but the catch is that the wine is only for sale for one day and typically sells out! So you need to act fast!
All the wine lovers in my family are HUGE fans of Last Bottle!
