MENS’ GIFT GUIDE!

Last but not least, the men. This one is a little harder to put together every year, and not because men don’t have needs. They’re just… less obvious, perhaps? I can come up with things to get Steve every year but knocking it out of the park doesn’t happen as often. The year I got him the Artifact Book of our sabbatical abroad was probably the best gift in the last five years. But those don’t come around that often. In any case, here are some useful items that I think virtually every guy could use!

Personalized leather key chain: I got one for each of the guys with their initials on it. Such a great gift for so many people.
Blundstone Chelsea Boot: This shoe keeps popping up in my life in one way or another. Mostly people preaching how great they are. They’re good-looking too.
Urban map glass: An ode to his favorite city, his hometown city, a place that holds great memories. Paired with a bottle of his favorite spirit, perhaps. I love these.
Man Behind Maps book: For an avid skiier, snowboarder, or honestly book-collector. This book looks amazing.
Sperry Duck Boot: Steve has a Sperry snow boot and he wears them more often than his Sorels because they’re not as clunky and heavy to keep on all day.
Counterman travel set: Men deserve non-toxic skincare too. Especially one you can travel with!
Ceramic portable mug: I’d steal it though, if we’re being honest.
Craftsmen Socket Set: Every home needs this!
Knit Gloves: Perfect as the pair to keep in the car, these gloves look cozy.

If there’s a guy in your life, what are you getting him this year??
