Holiday 2024 Gift Guide: “For Him” Edition
I’m back with my second gift guide! This is a “For Him” version, mostly inspired by my husband, Ryan. Most of these are items that he has and uses on a regular basis (a couple of them are on his wishlist), and again, I made sure to include items on both sides of the budget spectrum. These gifts would also work for a brother, father, or friend. My man has great taste, so I hope some of these finds will resonate with the guy(s) in your life, too. Here goes!
GOOGLE EAR BUDS, $179
These little ear buds are perfect for whenever you want to listen to your music or podcasts on the go, whether that’s doing chores, working out, or just chilling. They are size-adjustable and great quality, and the egg-shaped holder they come in is so sleek! BARBECUE SPICE SET, $40
We picked up this set from The Spice House for my father-in-law, who really enjoys grilling and smoking meats on his Arkansas acreage. It’s a beautifully curated set and the spice rubs all sound delicious! This is a wonderful set for the foodie in your life.
BURBERRY HERO EAU DE TOILETTE, $103
Ryan wore this cologne for our wedding and it smells amazing! We spent at least an hour at Sephora smelling all the different options before he landed on this. It’s earthy, woody, and slightly spicy with citrus notes. One spritz of the eau de toilette is strong enough to last for hours without being overpowering, so one bottle will last ages!SLICK GORILLA HAIR STYLING POWDER, $18
Ryan has great hair, and he’s gone through quite a few products to find what he likes best. He loves the volume and texture this powder gives to his style! It’s natural and matte in finish and even though it’s a powder, it doesn’t leave the slightest white cast.
CORDUROY BASEBALL HAT, $15
A baseball hat is an essential in everyone’s closet, no matter who you are. They add such a sporty feel to any outfit, and the corduroy fabric of this one is such a yummy texture, especially in winter! This is a great versatile, inexpensive gift that looks good with so many styles and outfits. EVERLANE SLIM JEANS, $83
Ryan has added three pairs of these jeans to his wardrobe over the last few months, they’re that good! Everlane offers four inseam lengths, which is rarer than you’d think but so nice. The denim is mostly cotton with just a touch of elastane for comfort, and the cut is the perfect slim fit without being too close to skinny jeans.
OCTOBRE COTTON SWEATER, $145
I got this sweater for Ryan for Christmas this year but ended up giving it to him early because I was too excited to wait, haha. He loves the ribbed knit material and the speckles in the yarn. It’s 100% cotton, which is perfect for people who get hot easily (Ryan) or for someone with sensitive skin. It’s true to size and holds up great in the wash!PAPATUI BAR SOAP, $8
For a man who prefers bar soap over body wash, this is a great choice! The bar is pretty big and there’s a nice range of scents. It lathers up really well in the shower, has been dermatologist tested, and is gentle and hydrating on the skin. Whether you’re into The Rock or not, he definitely has an excellent line of grooming products!
MANSCAPED SAFETY RAZOR, $35
Ryan traded in his previous razor for a single-blade safety razor recently and he’s been so happy with the results. He does have to take extra care not to nick himself, but the single blade gives him a really close shave and leaves his skin feeling so soft and smooth. BOSE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER, $150
This is a wishlist item for Ryan. We are an old-fashioned household and we don’t have a TV; we just watch shows and movies on my laptop. This would be a definite upgrade from our current situation! It’s also perfect for listening to a book, podcast, or music in the shower and actually being able to hear what you’re listening to. 
DUKE CANNON BAR SOAP, $12
Another bar soap option, Duke Cannon is a firm favorite for Ryan! The brand calls this a “big-ass brick of soap” and it’s hard to think of a better description than that - it's huge! The scents are all so good - masculine and earthy without being too strong. The range of scents is really large and the branding has lots of personality. NINJA CREAMI ICE CREAM MAKER, $230
Finally, we have the Ninja Creami, which is another wishlist item for Ryan: ice cream is one of his favorite foods! We both love the idea of this little appliance for saving money and making healthier dessert options at home. This version comes with an extra pint container but there’s another version without that for a little less money.
