Men can be the most difficult to buy for on our list!
I cringed just a bit looking at this month’s Let’s Look topic, I can’t lie! I struggle a bit with choosing what to buy for men on my list already. I’m not sure if it’s like this for everyone, but between my husband, my dad, and my FIL – they all kind of get what they want throughout the year.
Be sure to check out the posts by Shay (Mix and Match Mama) and Erika (A Little Bit of Everything) for this linkup! Also, my dear friend Carrie (Curly Crafty Mom) participated in this linkup also, so stop by and see her post too! 🙂
I’m a firm believer in it’s the thought that counts and we know that Christmas is not about gifts anyway, it’s about the birth of our Savior! Also, I want to note that I almost always find these types of gifts on sale when I buy them! Don’t be afraid to look in clearance sections or sale racks, there are some real gems in there!
I’ll share some of the tried-and-true gifts I’ve found to be really great holiday gift ideas for men, and hope you’ll find some of these helpful for the men in your life!

Golf Accessories
Most of you know my husband is a golfer. While I would never even attempt to buy extra pricey equipment, there are a few golf accessories that I’m comfortable buying for him! If you’re married to a golfer, you’ll know that they have their own particular brands or specific things that they love – so I recommend asking ahead of time if you don’t already know, or sneaking into their stuff to see what they buy. Not that I’ve done that or anything when we first got married, haha!
Clothing
I usually pick up Kyle some sort of clothing for any gift. It’s something he typically won’t buy himself and I like to think I’ve gotten pretty good at choosing things he likes! Most of his clothes, minus comfy clothes to wear around the house, doubles as golf and work clothes, so that makes it nice!
I’m including some of his favorites and some pieces that dads would love as well!
Kyle’s Favorites: He has three pairs of the Adidas pants in different colors and loves them! The thermal socks are another fave because he has chronically cold feet in the evenings and they really help!
A quick note about the Ohio State Buckeyes polo: we live here in Ohio so it’s fitting for us, but they have all the other sports teams too!
Tech Accessories
None of the men in my life are big tech-gadget people, but these have made for great gifts and I hope you’ll find something on this list for the men on your list!
My parents are in their seventies and LOVE their Amazon Echo Show, just in case you have older parents as well! They talk to Alexa and ask her about the weather, to play a song they like, or just browse some of the news stories that scroll by. It also controls their lamp, so they can tell it to turn their lamp on/off, it’s so handy!
P.S. I really wanted to include the new Amazon Kindle that’s in color, but I noticed there were very few reviews AND they’re almost all negative! That made me sad. I hope it improves so people can snag it if they’ve been wanting color (I’m one of those people!).
All The Cups for Coffee, Water & Protein Shakes
Whether the men in your life drink coffee, water, tea, soda, or protein drinks – they need a cup of some form or fashion for that! I grouped together the ones that I’ve had the best luck with!
The blender bottles are Kyle’s favorite for his protein shakes and pre-workout drinks!
That’s a wrap on my holiday gift ideas for men on this month’s Let’s Look! linkup, sweet friends!
I know this may not be the typical gift guide for men, but I’m hoping it will be helpful to my fellow wives/girlfriends/daughters that are trying to wrap up their Christmas shopping!
Question for you: Have you started Christmas shopping yet?
I totally agree that men are the hardest to shop for – it feels like they already have everything they need haha! I usually stick to fragrances for my SO, but I love your suggestions, especially the drinkware ideas! xx

Haha exactly Lenne, they are buyers in-the-moment instead of waiting for holidays! Fragrances are always a great idea, and so happy you liked the drinkware goodies!!
Do we have the same husband, dad, and FIL??? Ha! Why are they so difficult to buy for??
Ha ha, that’s too funny Maddie!! I think all of us women are in the same boat trying to figure out all the things to buy for the men in our life! Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
I love the thermal sock idea. Brian also had cold feet then tries to put them on me.
Thank you so much Adrienne and goodness, I feel your pain! My hubby does that at night too and it’s the worst, haha!
I agree 1000% that guys are just impossible to buy for. Brian’s and my anniversary is 12/1 and then Christmas follows right after that, and then his birthday is right behind that, so it’s SO HARD to find that much stuff for him. There’s not ever much that he wants! These are some great ideas, though. I love the golf stuff… I’ll have to consider a couple of those items for Brian now that he’s playing golf again since Jacob started playing! Thanks for the ideas! Have a wonderful day!
My husband would be all over the tech gifts! Ha, ha! I had to chuckle at all of the golf stuff… who knew that there was so much stuff for golf?

I started shopping already and for men I usually always go for clothing or perfumes. It seems to always work.
