Christmas Gift Guide: Men's Edition

Sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled shopping for this breaking news announcement but, there are only 2 weeks left before Christmas and, if you're like me, you still need to buy for the men in your life. Luckily there are some really great items out there at all price points.  From the outdoorsmen and the athletic, to the clean shaved and preppy, I've rounded up a list of items to suit every man on your Christmas list.

Tech Gear

Tumi Water Resistant Backpack- Comes in three colors, is ultra durable and super functional.  For the guy on the go, this pack is sure to be a hit. It is made really well. It can stand up to the beating a hike up Half Dome may give it while still looking good.

Fitbit Blaze- This watch is perfect for the sporty man in your life.  He can perfectly track activity and calories burned while looking sleek. It monitors heart rate and sleep patterns so he will get use out of it day and night.  

Well Dressed

Cashmere Sweater- This cashmere sweater comes in a variety of colors, is soft to the touch and the best part is, it's under $50!! This is a great staple piece. The cut is flattering on most men and has a luxe feel to it. Who doesn't like cashmere!?! If a sweater is not what you're looking for, try this great jacket. Super chic and stylish and perfect for mild winters.  

Accessories- Men's accessories are always a good idea.  Styles have substantially improved in the socks and ties department. Patterns, prints and styles change yearly and there are some really sleek options. Plus, there is so much more than just socks and ties. From beanies (this one is under $40 and cashmere) and wallets, to belts and sunglasses.  

Shoes- You can never go wrong with shoes. I'm loving the athleisure fashions that are so big right now.  But, whether you go ultra casual with some Nikes or Adidas or business casual with some leather sneakers, your guys are bound to like them. 

GROOMING

Hair and Skin Care- Now more than ever men are spending more time, money and energy on their grooming regimes. In addition to more typical hair products like Bumble and Bumble's surf spray, which is amazing for that tousled, effortless messy hair, men are getting facials and mani pedis with increased frequency.  Do yourself a favor and get a couples massage or pedicure.  It's a win, win for you both.

Does your guy borrow your Clarisonic with too much frequency?  They might not admit it but they love the extra pampering and do care just as much as you do. Clarisonic has come up with a whole men's line specially formulated for cleansing thicker, oilier skin. He will love it and you'll love having yours back.  A great add on is Jack Black add on cleansers and lotions. Bearded or not, it works well for all guys. My husband is a fan.

Hope this roundup of goodies helps give you some ideas and makes your last few shopping items easier to complete.
