Holiday Gift Guide | For Him

Boyfriends are the toughest to shop for, especially if you haven’t been together very long. We are racing towards Christmas, and I know that some of us are still struggling to finish shopping (like me). Here are some things that I would get for the man in my life, at lots of different price points.

Keep Him Warm

If you live somewhere cold, he’s going to appreciate a warm hat or scarf. Available at just about any budget, you can find these anywhere. I like this hat, but make sure it will cover his ears. For scarves, save and get this one, or splurge on this jazzier one.

Keep Him Fed

Get him a box or two to a service like Blue Apron, Plated, or Hello Fresh. They deliver ingredients precut and measured to make a delicious meal. It’s a great way to try something new, and you can do the cooking together. It’s also good for a guy who’s really into cooking, or maybe one who needs a little more help in the kitchen.

If you’re not into the cooking thing as much, try a charcuterie gift set (everyone loves meat and cheese!) from a company like Harry and David, or your local butcher or specialty store.

Keep Him Busy

Sometimes the best gift you can give is a hobby. Is there something that he likes already? Is he a golfer? Model train aficionado? If nothing comes to mind, then it’s time to find him something new. If you’re looking to splurge, how about a drone? They’re available at a ton of price points from $50 up into the thousands, and they’re fun. For the guy who is willing to invest a little more time, I also recommend a beer or spirit-making kit. I like this one, to make a chocolate maple porter. Extra manly.
