HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR YOUR GUY
Unless there is a hobby, sport/sports team, or item they need; guys can be hard to buy for. And if your SO/husband is anything like mine, I invest in his latest hobby, only to have him move on to the next one just in time for gifts to arrive. (It’s a good thing that he’s so darn cute).
I ventured where no lady should go, and posed the “what do you really want” question to guys. If I could share the texts, I would. But I can’t. It was chaos on a massive scale. However, I weeded through the dingleberry clipper and ball-anything jokes and came out with a little less innocence, and some great suggestions.
Here are some fantastic items to make your favorite guy’s life a bit easier. Plus, things they want but hate spending money on.
BEARD OIL
This is for the guys with facial hair, and it’s a big one. Beard oil conditions, smooths, and helps the manageability of your guy’s beard. It is also great for the skin underneath, that you’d have to bushwhack to get to. Bonus- your own skin with feel the difference too. Kissing under the mistletoe is about to get a lot sweeter. Treat him to some quality beard oil. Get it here.
Hi, I’m Nic, your friendly, internet, stylist BFF here to tell you: THROW AWAY THE HEAD AND SHOULDERS. I know your guy has used it since he first saw flakes, and now he is convinced he needs it until the day he dies. But here’s the thing, that shampoo actually makes your scalp worse. It is so damaging, and only works if you use it. Forever. The end.
Why not treat them to shampoo that actually fixes the dandruff problem? L’Anza Scalp Balancing Cleanser goes in and balances your own scalp’s PH levels. It fixes the problem where it begins, your scalp! The world is your oyster after that. Get yours here.
SINGLE BLADE SHAVING KIT
Shaving is an artform. If your guy is still using disposable razors, you need to buy him this pronto.
Single blade razors last so much longer, and they give a closer shave. This kit has it all, shaving soap, extra blades, and brush. It also comes with a travel bag, and stand for the home. Treat your guy, and grab the whole package, here.
TRAVEL TOOTHBRUSH
I need to confess, this was a great suggestion. One of my husband’s friends travels often for work, and said he’d love a good quality travel toothbrush set. He had searched, but couldn’t find anything more than the drugstore to-go kit.
I searched. A lot. I’ve got to say, if you’re an entrepreneur - jump on this.
After loads of research, this is by far the best option out there. This Aquasonic Black Series kit as a sleek travel case, various brush heads, and charges easily. It is labeled as a whitening toothbrush, so you can swoon a bit more with every smile. Get it here.
L’ANZA SCULPTING PASTE
This will always be my go-to guy’s suggestion for hair product. It gets the job done without being overly scented, or too sticky. A little goes a long way, which means this will last. Get yours here.
Murray’s has been around forever. And it lasts just as long. It is the end all be all. Use the smallest amount, to mold into any shape. Every guy (with hair) should have this. Period. Get it here.
This was another great gift suggestion. An anti-fog shower mirror specifically made for shaving. Bonus- this one has holders for the razors. It’s sleek, manly, and will make your man’s morning routine easier. Get it here.
Does your guy have some bag with trimmers that are a solid rust color? Time to upgrade. These cordless trimmers have attachments for mustache, beard, and nose as well. They are professional quality and a fantastic gift. Buy them here.
Okay, yes, there were a lot of jokes made when I asked for suggestions. But honestly, when I searched where no woman wants to search, I was impressed with options. After reviewing them all, I present to you, the Nuts and Bolts Manscaping gift pack. This not only comes with a waterproof, ergonomically shaped trimmer AND “ball deodorant”, but it also includes a, um, “catch all” mat for any unwanted hair. So really, this is a gift for him and your sanity. You’re welcome. Grab it here.
Last but not least, this was suggested over and over. Please tell your man to use this responsibly. Give your eternal child of a guy, a fun gift to open. Get it (with caution) here.
