I picked Brent's brain (my bf) and got some help on this men's gift guide! They are SO MUCH harder to buy for than women, the struggleeeeee! If only they loved yoga pants and knockoff Gucci belts as much as we do.. I hope this helps and gives some inspiration!
Brent has quite a few of these items already! I'm obsessed with his SK8-Hi Vans (see #4 for link), and he recommends the ZAGG iPad case to everyone (see #5 for link).
1) Love Your Melon Beanie Brent actually introduced me to this company! I stole his beanie last year so he got me my own, hehe. LYM donates 50% of profits to fund pediatric cancer research, and they also donate beanies to keep the kid's little heads warm while they fight it!
2) Bose Bluetooth Speaker (30% off) This will likely get used more than you think! Perfect to use anytime at home (cooking out, having friends over, while cleaning or doing chores) and to take on vacation and tailgates.
3) Buck Knife *Made in USA! That's something my Dad always looks for in a knife, haha. And Brent says you can never have too many good knives. Then emphasized it. So I'm taking the hint that he wants another knife?!
4) Vans Sk8-Hi Shoes (30 color options) Brent gets compliments on his all the time and says they're so comfortable!
5) ZAGG Rugged Book iPad Case Extremely durable/protective and has a bluetooth keyboard
6) LL Bean Boots Fair warning, although Bean Boots are perfect for inclement weather, the non-lined boots are not warm!! Check into their lined options like the ones pictured if you think they'll be worn mostly in the winter.
7) AE Flex Fit Jeans Brent says these are so comfortable! I'd say they're as close as a dude will get to wearing leggings without actually wearing leggings 😂
8) Eddie Bauer Lined Pants Another of his favorite's
10) Nike SB Shoes lots of color/fabric options in these, too
11) LL Bean Waxed Canvas Backpack not something you'd use everyday, but very handy to have. Travel, vacay, short weekend trips..
12) Leather Toiletry Travel Bag I got this for Brent last year and still think it's one of the coolest things ever! It's leather so it will last for a loooong time and I love the masculine monogram
