for the dudes

This list can be almost as tricky as the one for teen girls. I’m sure you have fellas in your life that are easy-peasy but you probably have one or two that leave you stumped every Christmas.

Let’s start where Jarrett usually starts, shoes. He’s been eyeing a new pair of Tecovas. They have western styles and more traditional styles. I’m also seeing lots of dudes in Hokas. You could pair them with Bombas or Stance socks, tab or original crew (LOTS of fun prints). Slippers are a great option. These Allbirds can be thrown in the washer, this pair at Lands End can be personalized and these Olauki’s look beyond cozy.

.Novelty belts are sure win. Jarrett and Breaker both have personalized JT Spencer belts. You can’t go wrong with Smathers & Branson. Their life belts take customization to the next level (double check your team mascots). Check out this belt at Orvis if your guy likes to keep the midline low-key.

I want this next one, a Solo Stove. It’s a portable, low-smoke, log-friendly fire pit. You can cook on it too! How great does that sound? Bonus, it has add-ons for stocking stuffing.

Pop culture books make a good gift too. Jarrett enjoyed Matthew McConaughey’s memoir (especially interesting because he’s consider a political career). Scottie Pippen’s memoir sounds like a juicy read (scandal behind the scenes with Michael Jordan). I’m a sucker for celebrity so I’ll be gifting T.Pain’s mixology book and have given Quest Love’s cookbook to several guys in my life.

Finally, if you’re a Georgia native you can’t go wrong with a Brave’s T-Shirt: Here, here and here. I love this Acuna mug too.

So much more to come! Please stay tuned to my Insta stories for guy gadgets and stocking stuffers!
