For my second men’s gift guide (The style one is here!) With this guide, I wanted to focus on everyday upgrades that strike the perfect balance of practical and polished. These are the gifts that quietly improve his day-to-day—thoughtful, elevated, and most of them are surprisingly affordable.
Noise Cancelling Headphones | Oura Ring | Carhartt Beanie
Rain Duffle Bag | Screen Mini Projector | Quince Wallet | Desk Charger Mat
Beats Solobuds | Survival Kit | Toiletry Bag | Car Vacuum
Beast Mini Blender | Magnetic Flashlight | Crockpot Warmer
A Few Notes:
- Best (Ear) Buds: You can never go wrong with headphones — honestly for anyone. Both of these are under $200 with the solobuds being under $100! Find the over the ear headphones here and the solo buds here.
- Everyday Tech: If you’ve got a fitness lover, the Oura ring comes highly recommended! Especially if wearing a watch isn’t the most convenient. This desk charger mat is on my husband’s list as he can charge all of his devices at once during the day, wirelessly too. And this mini projector is such a fun present — for the dad that likes to watch movies or a game outside or have an empty wall that would make a perfect place for a ‘big screen’ showing.
- Essentials, upgraded: This duffle could be used as a gym bag or a travel bag and this brand holds up! Bryan has quite a few things from Rains and he loves the quality. I always think a new wallet is a nice gift or even stocking stuffer at this price from Quince! Same goes for this toiletry bag, a nice upgrade of your essentials is always a good gift.
- Under $30 finds: If you’re kind of stumped as to what to buy for harder to shop for members of your family, You can never go wrong with a new beanie, this tool survival kit, or this magnetic flashlight. I mean I kind of want that flashlight if I’m being honest…
- Kitchen aids: If you have a foodie or a fitness guy, this Beast Mini Blender works well for cooking as well as protein shakes. Or if your husband takes his lunch to work everyday, as does mine, I just saw this crockpot warmer and I love it! So smart and amazing reviews.
