Let's Look Gift Ideas for Men

 Hey friends!  Today I am linking up with Shay & Erika for this month's edition of Let's Look. A fun monthly post where we take a peek at some random little things in our lives. Today's topic, Little Things we do Everyday. 

Today's post... Gift Ideas for Men!

Now I am not 100% certain, but I assume many people might feel their husbands can be "tough to buy for".  I do not have that issue. I think Paul starts his wish list in the Summer. He keeps some ideas in his notes app on his phone and others on his Amazon wish list. He loves to share his list with me of what he is wishing for. It's part hilarious and part adorable & he does it every year. If my Mom asks him for a gift idea, he happily texts her a link to something he wants. Last year it was a boating stethescope that measured something on the boat. She had no idea what she was buying him, but was happy to click the link and get him what we was wishing for! LOL

Anyway I have rounded up a few things that Paul has gotten for gifts, and yes most of these were at his request. They are some of his most used items.

Paul is always struggling with dry skin on his face in the Winter. He’s not one to use products per se, so he’ll take some of mine but say that they smell too feminine or floraly.  I’ve gotten this one and he seems to like it and it helps with dry skin.

Paul is often watching YouTube videos on his phone. Whether it is to learn how to fix something in the house or a podcast on Health, he’s often holding his phone to watch a video. I thought this would be a cool idea for him to watch without having to hold his phone. 

So we don’t have this bag, but I was traveling with a peer for work and he had this backpack. He literally had all he needed for a couple of days travel in this backpack. It opens up to hold so much!

Now, maybe not the most glamorous gift, but definitely a practical one. Paul has this and uses it often!

Paul skis in the Winter. He’s the only skiier in the family, none of us really enjoy skiing. His issue has been his feet being cold. He got these electric warming socks a couple of years ago and he’s been a much happier skier. These are perfect, if you have a guy in your life that is an avid winter sportsman, or even hunting, definitely helps to keep things warm.

Paul has a Helly Hansen winter jacket that he loves. Last year for his birthday I got him the rain jacket version.  I don’t think you realize how much you need a good rain jacket until you don’t have one. He loved it so much, he got one for his dad this year as well. This one is pricier, but a great investment piece and super great quality.

Paul loves wearing slippers in the house. He was an avid Ugg fan for years until he found this brand. He got a couple Summer shoes from this brand a few years ago and has been sold ever since. 

We got him these slippers last year for Christmas (courtesy of his list of course!) and he loves them!

While these gifts are all material things, I really think one of the best gifts you can give yourself or encourage someone to give to themselves is the gift of health. Last summer, Paul had a heart attack. He is a typically healthy, young male and it really rocked our world when it happened. 

 He has been doing a ton of research on how to live the healthiest lifestyle and these are two books he would strongly recommend.

The one on the left is of simpler, easy read.  Just talks about general lifestyle, diet, and other things to live your best and youngest life. That was one of the first ones he read.  There’s also a version for women that I have read. The book Outlive is a little bit deeper. This takes you through some more complex medical terms, but if you stick with it, there’s a lot of really good information about the science of longevity. 

And there is my list. Any great ideas you have for men? Share them in the comments below. 

Have a great Wednesday! See you back here later this week for Friday Favorites. There is always room for one more at our family table.
