As I am typing this, I have just asked for gift guide ideas on Instagram. Let me tell you, you guys are in desperate for manly gift guides!! Preston and I actually aren’t exchanging gifts this year (going on a Christmas/anniversary trip instead!), but I am still gifting a lot of things to the other men in my life including my dad, father in law, brother and brother in law!
I am going to try to do a mix of price ranges because I know spending amount just depends on your situation and relationship. Here we go!
Lululemon Bowline Pants- Okay Preston helped me with this one, and I couldn’t agree more because they look so good on him! I think these work for so many ages and style preferences too. Also, these are a SPLURGE. I definitely recognize that. I will say though, this is an amazing gift and the receiver will definitely appreciate the quality.
His Favorite Coffee + Accessories- This is actually what I am getting my brother this year, but it’s mainly because he is moving into a new house! I think it’s an extra special touch if you know his favorite coffee blend or brand. I got this 64 oz. airtight container and this coffee scoop so he will be good to go! Also, here’s a little extra thing I saw while I was browsing, but I thought this cold brew maker looked really neat. A ton of guys I know really like cold brew!
Slides- Admittedly, I want these for myself, haha. Preston loves these for taking the trash out, running out really quick in the summer and anything else! I actually hate when men wear flip flops, (a personal problem, not judging if your guy does haha!) but these don’t bother me since they cover a lot of the foot/toe area.
Desk Calendar- I got this for my dad this year, and I am so excited to give it to him!!
Wall Calendar- I have linked and pictured a knoxville specific one, but I am also including this general national parks one in case you’re reading this and not a Knoxville native!
Dopp Kit- Preston has this and loves it! Makes packing to travel so much easier and holds everything he needs.
Stanley Coffee Cup- These are just a classic! I don’t know about you all, but the men in my family love Stanley. I think they could always use a new/extra one.
Carhartt Beanie- Again, my husband has this and loves it!
Bombas Socks- These are very expensive for socks, but they’re seriously mine, Preston’s, my mom and my father-in-law’s favorite socks! We just love them. I didn’t know socks could be improved upon until I got these.
Into the Wild- Books are obviously entirely dependent on their preferences, but I think it is always nice when someone gets you a book you think they’ll like! This one is a true survival type story set in Alaska, which is just right up my dad’s alley!
Mike’s Hot Honey- This is more like a stocking stuffer, but I know a ton of guys love spice, and this seems really unique!
Amazon Basics Hoodie- Okay, I accidentally saved the best for last! My mom got this for Preston last year, and it’s his most worn piece of clothing! He loves how simple it is- no logo or anything! It is also soooo affordable even though it’s so inexpensive,
I had to cut the gift guide off because it was getting a little long, but I also wanted to quickly mention other gifts I have given Preston in the past include board games (catan and ticket to ride are two of his favorites!), a record player and vinyls.
Also consulted my dad on this guide and he said this meat thermometer he has would be a great gift! I’ve also seen this app-connected meat thermometer on a couple other male-centered gift guides this year!

Thanks for coming on this long journey with me! I am just cracking up because I originally thought I would barely be able to think of anything, and now here I am forcing myself to stop finding gifts!
