Men's Gift Guide

Welcome to my third Gift Guide of the 2019 holiday season!

The last two gift guides covered ALL the bases for makeup & beauty (HERE) as well as anything else on this earth a woman on your list might enjoy (HERE). They are full of recommendations to keep you in that #1 favorite person category.
Today's guide is for all those hard to buy for men in your life. Like seriously...why are men SO darn hard to buy for? Any males in my life (over the age of 5) usually buy whatever they need whenever they want and say "I don't need anything" whenever Christmas rolls around. 
Good thing I've rounded up some awesome gift options for you this year!

Let's get to it!

First off, we are going to jump right into the hot stuff. Like, literally the hot stuff.
Have a hottie in your life who likes to live on the edge? And possibly risk burning off his taste buds for fun? These hot sauce gift options will be sure to light up his face (and his mouth). If you want to go a little timid with the hot sauce gift, try the Global Hot Sauce Sampler pack with 5 different fiery blends from around the world. If you have a true hot sauce fanatic on your hands then the 30 piece sampler will certainly be a hot hit. And last but not least...check out that hot sauce in a hand grenade! How cool, right!? Or... how hot?

Keeping with the hot sauce theme....
Any true foodie or fiery foodie would love to concoct their hot sauce blend! This hot sauce making kit has everything you need to create your own spicy sauces (including bottles and squeeze jars).

Let's move on from fiery...to the fire. Grilling is on the menu!
Most men I know love to play with fire (in more ways than one). I will never object when they ask to fire up the grill for dinner (less work for me). What is always a great gift for a grilling guy is new grill tools and grilling spices. I have found that these are 2 things that they actually don't buy for themselves often (I guess they'd just rather turn the steaks with their fingers). I love that the grilling tool set comes in a carrying case for easy storage (or travel) and the grilling spices are sure to get you out of dinner duty for at least 5 meals! So many new dishes to try when you have spice-y inspiration.

Any chef or grill master on your list MUST have a Sous Vide! (Pronounced like “Sue Vide”)
Never heard of it? Well let me enlighten you. This tool helps cook meat (or anything really) at a consistent temperature in water until it is slow cooked to perfect tenderness. Like, seriously you will NEVER have a more tender and delicious steak in all your life. You bag or vacuum seal your meat and then place it in the pot of water with the Sous Vide controlling the temperature and cooking time.  Once the meat is done, you can sear it on the grill to lock in the juices. It is life changing for sure. And so easy to use to get Gordon Ramsey approved meals. My dad has one..my husband has one...my brother in law has one. See? Guys love it! You might want to grab the Sous Vide Cookbook with it as well to fully enjoy the awe-sous-mness.

A close second to grilling and playing with fire is another hot item....coffee!
Since most people already have coffee pots...why not up their coffee game with a French Press and electric milk frother? Starbucks won't have nothing on your at home brews with this combo. There's just something about coffee that has been through the french press...it's just flavorful and delicious without the bitterness. And with this electric milk frother, you can create perfect lattes and more with the heated milk option.

If you want to get your guy the best coffee out there...then Death Wish Coffee is IT! This blend is super caffeinated but also has the best flavor around. Not bitter in the least...just full bold flavor. We have been obsessed with it for the last year and I just can't drink anything else without thinking that it tastes like black water. Do yourself (or your guy) a flavor and get this NOW! Yes...I meant to type flavor. I like puns...what can I say!?
This coffee is only sold on Amazon or in Walmart stores or the Death Wish Coffee website.

We've all seen these Yeti mugs around for a while, but this Clay color is just too cool. Plus, he can take his delicious french press coffee to go in this travel mug!

Have a snacker on your hands? These snack boxes will be the perfect gift. My in laws sent my two boys this snack box as a fun surprise and they LOVED it!! Tons of yummy snacks to choose from. The only person who loved it more than my two boys was my husband! When this gift guide posts, we will be on our way out to Arkansas to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with family. And guess what my husband ordered? TWO OF THESE SNACK BOXES for the trip!! I kid you not...he's obsessed! They work as great gifts for boys of all ages. 
If "snack snacks" aren't your guys thing...check out that beef jerky box!
Both of these boxes are perfect to send to current Military members as well.

Should we move from food to fitness now? Perfect transition, right?
If you have a gym guy to buy for...I got you covered! How about you throw away that old stinky gym bag and gift a brand new Under Armor one!? This medium sized bag is perfect for carrying all those sweaty clothes and shoes. Another (literally) cool item they might light is a that cooling towel set. It's ice cold and keeps you from overheating in the sun or during your workout. This icy set comes with a neck towel, wristbands, and head wrap. All the pulse points that help you cool down quick are covered with this set. Wireless ear buds are also a must for working out

Since you usually shower after a workout...what better gift to give that guy on your list than clean and clear skin?

One thing is for sure....most men don't have a regular skincare routine. I have preached to my husband about using an actual face wash instead of his body wash but he will never buy it for himself. If I buy it...he will use it. Otherwise he just doesn't see it as important. The Foreo facial scrubber is a totally manly face cleansing tool and it's also portable (perfect for work travel trips). This device gets your face super clean and exfoliated. Pair this device with the Brickell men's skincare line (made by men FOR men) and they won't even know what hit them. This skincare line is all natural and organic and comes in a manly scented version, or unscented.

These UNTUCKit shirts are my dad's #1 fave when he wants to...untuck his shirt. Get it? That's why they're called Untuckit! They're made to be worn out and not tucked in. They are slimming and perfectly fitted to not look like you're wearing a shapeless paper bag. There's a style, color, and pattern for every man out there.

Have a more traditional or comfy guy? Good news for them...flannels are back in! What's more comfy than a flannel shirt? These are so soft and there are SO many different patterns and colors.

Keeping with the cozy....we got my dad one of these Croft & Barrow Robes last Christmas (after he kept saying that he would never use it) and guess what!? He loved it so much he got a second one! He has one at home and one at my house when they come and visit. It's so soft and cozy and on sale now!

Moving on to more fun items!
Got a gamer on your hands? Hook them up with the hottest gaming accessories around.
Every serious gamer needs a gaming chair and gaming headset, right? And they also need those hilarious socks!

Nintendo is classic, right? Even if you aren't a gamer, you are familiar with Nintendo and Mario and all the classic games (especially if you're a 90's kid). One thing we have LOVED to play as a family with my oldest son is the Nintendo NES Classic Mini Console. It is a fraction of the size of the original from back in the day and it comes preloaded with 30 games and a controller (yes, the rectangle controller just like you remember). All the old Mario, Megaman, Pacman, etc. with the original graphics! It's so fun to relive your childhood but with modern conveniences (cough cough preloaded games). A total hit in our house for all ages.
My son is a true Mario fanatic (his bedroom, backpack, t shirts and more are ALL Mario-ed out). This Christmas he has begged for the Nintendo Switch Lite and Santa just might bring it to him. It's the newest edition of the Nintendo handheld gaming family and is such a hot item this year. Definitely on the top of pretty much anyone's holiday list.

Let's be honest...Men are just little boys in big bodies. Want to see them jump and sequel like they're 7 again? Then get them this mini drone that has an HD camera that hooks up to your phone! I don't care how old you are...you will stop whatever you're doing to play with this thing. It's so fun!

Lego sets are always a hit with guys at any age. This awesome ship in a bottle set is totally work desk worthy!

If you have a gadget guy in your life then they will LOVE this tactical pen! It literally has everything in it. A flashlight, bottle opener, window breaker, etc. This is a full scale self-defense/survival gear tool all in the small size of a pen. A total Swiss Army Knife but on steroids!

Does your guy like to have everything in it's proper place? This wood organizer and phone docking station will keep everything where it's suppose to be and charge it too!

Some guys enjoy their cars and trucks, right? It is pleasurable to them to scrub and wax and keep it in tip top shape. My husband loves to make his truck shine like the sun and I don't mind since he usually takes care of mine too. How about gifting this portable car vacuum? It comes with every attachment they will need to make the inside as good as new. Plus, it comes with a nice carrying case that you can store in the truck for those unexpected messes.
