2022 Gift Guide For Him

NEW ADDITIONS

APL Slides

I own these and they are some of the most comfortable slides ever. My jaw dropped when I saw this price drop on the men’s slides, and I immediately bought the navy ones for Z. $42 with the EXTRA30 code?! COME ON. I promise you, he will love love love these.


ThermoWorks ChefAlarm Cooking Alarm Thermometer and Timer

Zac got this for us this year, and I cannot express strongly enough just how game changing it’s been. You can never really trust ovens or grills fully, but this device makes it possible. Since getting this thermometer, every single meat dish I’ve made us has been *perfection*. It’s the easiest thing to use, too—you stick the probe into the thickest part of the meat, set your low temp alarm and high temp alarm, and it goes off when your meat is done. Every man who loves and cooks meat NEEDS THIS. I don’t even make commission off this—that’s how much I love this product.

Custom Mixtape Vinyl

I’ve instructed Zac NOT to read this particular guide so I can tell you guys about this incredible gift. One of my friends suggested I get him this as a wedding present, but I realized that wouldn’t make sense until we actually had wedding pictures to use for the album cover so I put in an order last week and it’ll be here by Christmas. This company gives you 40 minutes of space to create your own mixtape on vinyl, AND you get to decide on the order of songs, what’s front and back, and send them a photo for the cover. AMAZING, RIGHT? If you’re a musical couple who has a lot of “us” songs, this is THE PERFECT gift. I cannot wait for Z to open it this year.

HELM Boots

Another non-commissionable link because these boots are too good. Z got a pair from the Helm store in Austin, and damn—they are fire. If your man or A man in your life is in need of some sturdy, smart-looking boots, definitely consider a pair of these for his gift.

Cotopaxi Pullover

I love Cotopaxi and how colorful they are, so if you are gifting a guy who appreciates color, this pullover could be the perfect present for him. I love that the body is what you’d expect for a men’s pullover but the accents are so bold.

RTIC Cooler

Less than Yeti; same technology. I am obsessed with the color ways of this cooler. You can never have too many coolers, and maybe he’s in dire need of one. If that’s the case, this 52 QT Ultra-Light cooler is the ticket. That red and green, though 😰

AVERNA

I don’t think I’ve ever suggested liquor as a gift on here before, but hear me out. Our first run-in with AVERNA was in Italy, and we thought we were onto something. Joke’s on us because it’s a wildly popular herbal liquer you can find in most any bar stateside. It is, however, made in Sicily so there. Anyway, AVERNA is incredibly smooth and lightly sweet and is the foundation for a drink I am now in love with called a Black Manhattan. I suggest getting him a bottle and maybe even throwing in some gorgeous coupe glasses for extra measure.

Topo Designs Dopp Kit

Hey, guys need cool, brightly colored small bags, too! Whenever he packs, he will absolutely not forget this nor lose it. It’s impossible, and it’s also very cool. AND available in a ton of colors!

An Elevated Scrabble Kit

It came to my attention that I have never played the game of Scrabble. Ever. Not even one time. So, the other night, Zac said “WHAT?! Get it out—let’s play!” But then we realized we don’t have it? All this to say, I ordered us this very cool, multi-colored Scrabble kit from L.L. Bean and realized it could very possibly make an awesome gift for someone!

Kindle Paperwhite

I am very much a physical book person meaning I will never give up the act of HOLDING the actual book in my hands to read it. However, I know that’s not the way of the world anymore and e-readers are very legit. That said, if your man buys 10 books at a time, reads 1, then buys 10 more (Zac), perhaps it’s time he’s gifted a Kindle Paperwhite so he can store hundreds and hundreds and doesn’t have to keep filling every nook and cranny of your home with To Be Read piles!

SONOS Travel Speaker

It’s my dream one day to have a full ass SONOS system in our home but until then, gifting him this travel-friendly, portable, waterproof speaker is the next best thing. Reviews say the sound quality is insane, and I love that it’s available in fun colors.

Bombas Slippers

These are just sooooooo cute and fun. Not exactly socks; not exactly full-tilt slippers either. It’s the perfect combination of both and super easy to throw on to take the dogs out, make chatter with the next door neighbor, and take the trash down ‘cause you sure as hell aren’t gonna do it.

Boy Smells Italian Kush candle

This is one of those scents that everyone can enjoy, especially him. It’s incredible how many scent notes are packed into this one candle: limoncello, rhubarb, black pepper, patchouli, palo santo, cypress, pomelo, basil, oregano, cannabis leaves, and arabica. He’ll love it. Promise.

Ticket Stub Diary

I know ticket stubs are a thing of the past nowadays, BUT for the all the ones he has saved from yesteryear, this could be a great gift and the motivation he needs to sort them all out. If he was and still is an avid concert goer, SURELY he has plenty of stubs that need to be tucked away in an orderly way.

Solo Stove

No outdoor fire pit? NO PROBLEM. This is a big ticket item that is the gift that keeps on giving for him AND you. The Solo Stove puts off an incredible amount of heat and gets a fire roaring and is completely worth the investment if it makes sense for your home setup.

Moink Box

Z heard about Moink Meats on a podcast, signed us up, and we’ve been getting high-quality frozen meats for MONTHS now! We actually did a taste once of a Kroger chicken drumstick versus a Moink drumstick, and we legitimately couldn’t eat the Kroger one. Once you go Moink, you will not go back and he will love having this stockpile of premium meats month after month. You can customize your box every month, too! Worth it.
