Is it me or are guys are the hardest to buy for, like ever?! Unless they’re super into a very specific hobby, it is difficult to find a gift that seems thoughtful. I did some researching and came up with 10 freaking cool ass gifts that will be meaningful (and most importantly useful) without being corny. Here are 10 unique gifts for your husband or boyfriend that are FSL approved.
1) Bedside essentials pocket.
This is something your man won’t even know he needed until he doesn’t know how he lived without. Its design is sleek and tucks into your bed frame. The pocket can hold his phone, TV remote, book, vape, whatever he’s into. All without adding clutter to the nightstand. I actually may pick up two so I can keep my chapstick, Kindle, phone, sheet masks, hair elastics etc in it. It’s $16 here.
2. Face Socks
I find these hilarious! Probably more than I should. They’re totally customizable. I’d put his pet’s face on them or even his own. My husband is going on a guys trip next month and may just get my face put on these socks and sneak them into his carry on. So many possibilities here. Favorite celebs would be good too (Ron Burgundy anyone?). They’re $19 here.
3. Custom Whiskey Barrel
How cool would this look on a buffet table?! The fact that it’s customizable makes it 475496967070 cooler.
4. Comfy Slippers
Slippers are a no fail. My husband’s need to be replaced yearly because he beats them up. These have a rubber sole so he can grab the mail, have his coffee outside or throw something on the grill all while in slippers. These won’t hurt the wallet either at $29. They won’t fall apart either. Get them here.
5. An Adventure Experience
Is your man an adventurous kind of guy? Maybe a flying lesson or a few laps in a Lamborghini is the gift he didn’t know he wanted. Not the adventurous type? Maybe a voucher for a wine making or cooking class could be fun too. Check out this website for some ideas. They’re not as pricey as you’d think (around $70-$150). I’ve seen this type of thing on Groupon as well.
6. Charge Up
It’s 2020 and everyone needs a fast charger. Whether it’s a phone or a tablet, this charger does it double time. Superfast. His buddies will think he’s pretty great too because it has room for a few plugs at once. It’s $24 and if you have prime, it will be at your house in a day or two. It comes in six colors. Perfect stocking stuffer for anyone really. Get it here.
7. Give him a good time
Get your head out of the gutter. I mean a game for the ole mancave. This game is a great alternative to darts (we have small kids and don’t need flying sharp objects), and takes up less space than a billiard table. Get it for $39 here.
8. Double duty gifts are great
This hat has built in blue tooth speakers. I want it for myself. It comes in a ton of colors. I love that it has a built in mic and has a water-resistant HD sound (according to the product description). $25 here.
9. A man bag
A great backpack or messenger bag is a great idea for a gift. Perfect for travel or if he has kids in tow. This one is the highest customer rated one on Nordstrom’s website. Get it 40% off here.
10. Groom that boy
A subscription for Men’s Birchbox will show up to his door monthly. The latest and greatest in shave cream, hair tonic, soaps etc. You both will benefit from this. Check it out here. Enter code “FREEMONTH” with your purchase of a 6 month subscription to get a seventh month at no charge.
