For the third and final gift guide of 2021, I’m sharing 15 gift ideas for the guys in your life. We all know how difficult it can be to shop for dads, grandpas, boyfriends, husbands, brothers, guy friends, etc. but this gift guide is designed to make it a little easier!
[1] COUPLE’S ADVENTURE CHALLENGE BOOK
THE ADVENTURE CHALLENGE
You’ve probably seen The Adventure Challenge on TikTok or Instagram. The Adventure Challenge Couple’s Edition is a super fun book with 50 scratch off date ideas to complete with your significant other. The catch is that once you scratch one off, you have to complete it! Next to each challenge description is a piece of double sided tape where you can add a polaroid picture and space to write about your adventure. You can purchase the book on its own or with The Adventure Challenge Polaroid Camera! There are other books available too: Solo Edition, Family Edition, and Friends Edition. These books are a great way to make new memories with loved ones while getting out of your comfort zone! Shop The Adventure Challenge Couple’s Edition Book here.
[2] WOODEN CAR AIR FRESHENER
DRIFT
Drift air fresheners are not your typical air fresheners. For one, they are actually aesthetic looking and don’t look tacky like so many air fresheners. They come in either wood or cement! The fresheners have a small magnet on the back so they are easy to attach to their metal visor clip. The scents are amazing and not overpowering. My favorites are Teak and Amber. Drift is also a clean brand – from their website: “we care about clean scents, and we’re glad you do too. our scents will never contain parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, dea, mineral oil, petroleum, propylene, or dichlorobenzene like you find in most other scent companies.” Shop Drift car fresheners here!
[3] ADVENTURE PATCHES
YOHO & CO.
These adorable little iron-on patches are tiny versions of the felt pennants made by Yoho & Co. (see gift idea #4). Patches are a cheap, fun gift to give anyone because they have so many uses. They can be ironed onto a jean jacket, purse, or pair of jeans or displayed on a memo board. There are so many uses for iron-on patches! Like the full size felt pennants, the Adventure Patches are available for a variety of destinations, not just the ones pictured above. Shop Adventure Patches here!
[4] CANADIANA PENNANT FLAG
YOHO & CO.
This beautiful felt pennant flag is a great way to show off your guy’s favorite place. The one pictured above is obviously Canada-themed, but Yoho & Co. has over 200 different designs for destinations all over the US and Canada! There are pennants for national parks, cities, states, and more. The pennants look great hung on a wall or pinned to a cork board. Shop the Yoho & Co. Canadiana Pennant here!
[5] CAN COOLIE + HOT TODDY MUG
BRUMATE
Most guys love beer and hate it when their drinks get warm. Brumate coolies are the perfect solution! You can choose a coolie for regular sized cans, or a 3-in-1 for tall skinny cans, regular cans, and a tumbler. Also pictured above is the Hot Toddy Mug, which is a great gift for coffee drinkers and guys that are constantly on the go. Shop Brumate here!
[6] BLOW UP BEACH PILLOW
BALLAST
This gift is every beach-lover’s dream… Ballast Gear’s blow up beach pillow! How many times have you been laying on the beach wishing you had a comfortable pillow to use while you tan? Ballast’s beach pillow starts off as a compact pouch about the size of an iPhone. The pouch unfolds into a pillow that can easily be blown up in seconds without an air pump. It’s really that easy! The attached pouch can be filled with sand or something heavy to keep the pillow from blowing away if you leave it unattended. Ballast also has hot/cold packs that can be inserted into the pillow whenever you need a change in temperature. When you’re ready to leave the beach, simply press the deflate valve on the pillow, fold it back up, and throw it in your bag! Shop the Ballast Beach Pillow here.
[7] CHUTE MAG BOTTLE + EDDY+ BOTTLE + CAMP MUG
CAMELBAK
Travel mugs and water bottles are a go-to guy gift for me because it’s something most guys need but won’t purchase for themselves. CamelBak has a wide variety of bottle sizes, both plastic and stainless steel, as well as different lid options. Two of my favorite bottles are ones with a twist off wide mouth (Chute Mag) and the Eddy+ Bottle with the straw lid. The rubbery drink sprout is really durable and can even handle being chewed on. Shop CamelBak here!
[8] ACRYLIC CANADA GOOSE CALL
ECHO CALLS
If the guy you’re shopping for is into hunting, he will absolutely love this goose call by Echo Calls. My husband Nick is an avid hunter and will only use Echo Calls because they are the best of the best! This acrylic call is great for long-distance and close-up calling. The call barrel can even be custom engraved, so you can leave your guy a sweet message! If you aren’t sure if your guy goose hunts, Echo Calls also has a great selection of duck calls that any guy would love to receive. Shop Echo Calls here!
[9] THE EDDY SLIDE SANDALS
SUAVS
If you’ve been around for awhile, you know SUAVS are my all time favorite shoes. I wear their sneakers every single day year round, and my dad and husband also wear theirs almost daily. I was so excited when SUAVS came out with slide sandals just in time for our honeymoon! Nick and I both wore our SUAVS Eddy Slides (in the color Sand) for our entire 14 day honeymoon in Bora Bora and it felt like we were walking on a cloud. It might be cold where you live now, but gifting these slides is a great way to plan ahead to warmer weather. These are hands down the most comfortable slide sandals I have ever worn, and I can’t wait to start wearing them again when the weather gets warmer! Shop the Eddy Slides here.
[10] DRINK WISCONSINBLY FLAG
DRINK WISCONSINBLY
This flag was pretty much made for college guys (or anyone who loves flags)! It looks great on a college apartment, hanging in a garage or tied to a deck railing. The red Drink Wisconsinbly flag (pictured above) is 3′ x 5′, so it will definitely make a statement! It’s perfect for the guy who loves showing off his Wisconsin pride. Shop Drink Wisconsinbly flags here!
[11] MONOGRAMMED GOLF CLUB COVER
THE LETTER GARDEN
Monogrammed gifts are my favorite to give and receive. They feel so personal yet require so little effort! If your guy is into golfing, this is the perfect gift for him. The cover is designed to protect drivers and fits with a magnetic closure. There is also a top zipper compartment that is perfect for storing extra tees! There are 9 different colors available and several monogram designs to choose from. Your guy will get so many compliment son this when he’s out on the green! Shop The Letter Garden’s Monogrammed Golf Club Cover here.
[12] CUSTOM PHOTO SOCKS
DIVVYUP
Socks used to be one of those gifts that was disappointing to open, but not anymore! Divvup allows you to make the coolest custom socks for anyone on your gift list. All you have to do is choose a pattern/design and upload your photo(s)! The socks are really comfortable and high-quality, and the personalization options are endless. My favorite pair of socks is one with Nick’s face on them. If you’re shopping for a boyfriend, you could customize a pair with your face; if you’re shopping for your dad/grandpa, you could customize a pair with your face and your siblings faces! Shop Divvyup socks here.
[13] CUSTOMIZED PHOTO KEY FOB
THE LETTER GARDEN
I love gifting keychains and I love gifting photo-based products, and the Customized Photo Key Fob by The Letter Garden combines both! This beautiful keychain made out of a high-quality black faux-leather-like material is a keepsake item that will be cherished for years to come. One side of the keychain features a photo charm with the photo of your choosing, and the other side has gold leaf text that you can customize! A personalized key fob is a gift from the heart, and your loved one will think of you every time they see it. Shop the Customized Photo Key Fob here!
[14] HUNT WISCONSINBLY HOODIE
DRINK WISCONSINBLY HOODIE
If your guy is into hunting, he needs this hoodie! This was Nick’s go-to sweatshirt to wear during deer season, and he always gets so many compliments when he wears it. Wisconsinites are known hunters, so you probably have one or two on your list! Shop Drink Wisconsinbly’s Hunt Wisconsinbly Hoodie here.
[15] HOLIDAY HEARTH CANDLE
GROW FRAGRANCE
Grow Fragrance is one of my favorite home brands – I am a huge fan of their all-natural room freshening sprays! Everybody loves candles, and this one is no exception. What sets Grow Fragrance apart from other brands is their commitment to all-natural products. Their candles and room sprays never contain nasty chemicals or additives. The Holiday Hearth Candle (pictured above in a White Vessel) has notes of spiced mandarin, cranberry and smoked birchwood. It smells the way it feels to be cozied up inside your home with your family, and it’s a must-have for the holidays! Shop Grow Fragrance’s Holiday Hearth Candle here and the White Candle Vessel here.
