Men: Gotta Love ‘Em
The husbands, the dads, the boyfriends, the father-in-laws, the BFFs, the kids, the coworkers. I could go on and on and on. They’re the men in our lives. We love ‘em [most of the time], and they do a pretty darn good job of loving us right back. It’s only fitting that during the holidays we find them the best gifts we can, something they’ll truly appreciate, use, and love. And sometimes that’s not the easiest thing to find! I’ve rounded up ten items for all the men in your life, with all items under $100! Whether he’s outdoorsy, artsy, or likes lounging and drinking a beer, we’ve got him covered!
And we, being the loving wife, daughter, or friend, know how to find a great gift at the best price. One of my favorite ways to shop as of late is using ShopStyle.com. If I know I want a specific Patagonia pullover, I can hop on ShopStyle.com and see all of the stores that are selling it, AND what their prices are! Price comparisons have never been simpler. I’m certain our husband’s will appreciate our savings [Say it with me now: “Honey, but it was 50% off, so I practically MADE money by buying it!”] And if you’re not too sure what you’re looking for, you can check out what’s trending, gift guides, and other categories- all with easy to shop links! And if you’re more of an app [phone app, not appetizer, although if you’re like me you’re both], ShopStyle has you covered with an easy to use app as well!
Now, onto the gift guide for all those men in our lives!
Mens Gift Guide Under $100
1. Patagonia Pullover
2. Herschel Bag
3. Retro Radio
This Victrola Radio is so COOL. So often in order to get today’s technology for sound, we end up getting something looking so contemporary looking. Not with this baby. This radio has a retro look and feel to it, even including a traditional analog clock and FM dial, so you can continue to listen to the FM radio if you’re really not feeling what’s on your iPhone at that moment. While it looks retro, it still has all the modern day sound technologies you crave- bluetooth, USB charging, and an alarm!
5. Nike Free RN
Nike Free RN shoes are a household favorite [for both me AND Shawn]. They come in SO many colors and are seriously so comfortable. Now, they’re probably not going to be marathon running worthy- but if your man is like me, and DOESN’T run marathons, these are perfect. So comfortable for lifting weights, cross-training, running, or just running around. And if your guy needs that kick in the rear-end to get his butt to the gym, sometimes a new pair of shoes is just what’s needed. One of these days I’m going to start wearing my workout shoes to actually workout again…
If your’e looking for a lightweight rain or wind jacket, LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS IS IT. It’s waterproof, wind proof, and is the perfect weight so you’re not getting sweaty and sticky [ew] while getting rained on. You can easily layer it with a sweater or sweatshirt for cooler days, as it’s not too tight. And it has a convenient stowaway hood for if you’d rather just have the collar! Keep in mind- it does run a bit larger, so if you’re debating size you may want to size down [unless you want plenty of room underneath for layering].
I hate when I’ve got a nice, cold, adult beverage in a glass and next thing you know, the outside is covered in condensation, dripping on me, leaving rings on the table, and the dogs are trying to lick the glass. Struggles, I know. Insert these double wall beer glasses to save the day. They’re insulated to keep tables and hands dry, and to keep the drink cold! And get this- they’re made of mouth blown glass [yes, you read that right- mouth blown]. And for the price, these would be a great gift for an under $25 gift exchange that they’re guaranteed to love!
8. Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth Speaker
This Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth Bose speaker is SO CUTE. Okay, cuteness is probably not going to do anything to get the guys on your list wanting it, but still, it’s cute. It’s just barely bigger than a phone, which makes it super portable for on-the-go sound! But the best part about it is the durability! It’s waterproof, and resistant to dents, scratches, and cracks. It also includes a strap for attaching it to a bike or backpack to keep your hands free. The Bose sound quality is unmatched, so having something I can take on the go and feel comfortable about not getting dings in is something I want to share with every male on my shopping list!
9. UGG Scuff Slipper
Is there anything worse than eating a pistachio and then having nowhere to put the outside shell of your now eaten pistachio? I think not. It’s a problem I didn’t know existed until I recently upped my nut eating game. This Pistachio Pedestal has solved all my problems. The upper tier holds the pistachios, while the lower tier holds the discarded shells, keeping them in a neat, confined space. AKA not all over your lap and couch. Gone are the days of finding pistachio shells three months later under couch cushions. Grab this baby for the nut-eater in your life!
11. MVMT Watch
I love the masculine, yet GQ-esque look of MVMT watches. I’m not a huge fan of the super athletic or metal-look watches, so when I saw MVMT for the first time, I was sold. They’re such clean, simple designs, but whoever designed them knows how to make checking the time happen in a serious way. I never thought a watch could be sexy, but man! These watches look good! Heads up Shawn, looks like you’re getting one of these bad boys for Christmas.
