This Christmas season I’m hoping to give you loads of creative gift ideas for the people who you love. I’ll be posting ideas for gifts that you can sew, bake, make or buy. Some will be quick, and others will be well worth the extra time involved. Today I have for you a round-up of 15 gifts for Guys.
Someone once told me to be more productive to start with the hard stuff first. There are few things more difficult for me (and many other people too I imagine) than picking out gifts for the men in their life.
Whether they are Dads, Brothers, Husbands or Friends, they can be a bit of a tough group to find gifts for. After MUCH consultation with my husband and teenage son, here’s a list of gifts that I hope your guy will love.
20+ Gift Ideas for Husbands, Dads Boyfriends, Sons & Brothers

Gifts for Men; Things to Buy
Guys can be notoriously hard to shop for. Whether you're shopping for your Dad, Brother, Boyfriend or Father in Law here are a few suggestions of things we think he will love.
Fun Socks
There are so many fun socks for sale now, you can easily find a pair that your guy will love.
Apple AirPods Pro
I got a set of AirPods and thought I'd hate them. I ended up loving them. This "new and improved" set is more comfortable in your ears than the original.
Bose Headphones
I bought these headphones for myself then loved them so much that I got them for my husband for Father's Day. They are noise canceling and don't give you a headache when you're wearing them.
DJI OSMO Pocket 3
Does your Dad have a "Dad Vlog" ? Ours does. By far his favorite item for video is his DJI Osmo pocket. The image is stable and clear. It's amazing the quality that comes out of this little thing.
Packing Cubes for Travel
My husband has a set of these and LOVES them. Use one pack for shirts, one for pants and one for socks. Throw them in a suitcase and everything stays organized when you’re on the go. A great gift idea for a traveling guy.
NERF Gun Set
DO NOT laugh! These things are not just for kids! Get him a set of two Nerf guns and watch him go to “war” with whoever is at your house on Christmas day.

Okay, I’m allowed ONE more Star Wars gift right? My teenage son has this Death Star Bluetooth speaker and loves it! It has a great sound and is not crazy expensive.
Compact External Battery
Get him a small portable phone/device charger that he can keep in his pocket or briefcase. This one automatically knows how much power to deliver based on the device that it’s plugged into.
Cable Organizer
Speaking of chargers and cords…. this Cable Organizer will keep all of his electronics organized. Great for a tech dad or photographer.
DJI Mavic Mini - Drone
My husband loves his drones. I asked, he said that DJI is the only way to go. They come in a variety of price points from a few hundred dollars to many more dollars than that. Pick the one that works for you.
