Countdown to Christmas | Vol. 3

Welcome to Volume 3 of my Countdown to Christmas blog posts! Can you believe we only have 5 more Mondays after this one until Christmas?! 😱 This time of year always flies by! So, I have decided to start my Christmas shopping a little earlier than normal this year because I always feel like I'm scrambling in December. The hardest people on my list to buy for each year are the MEN! Anyone else feel this way? Bill is super picky about things and prefers quality over quantity so he hardly ever shops for himself. I usually like to get him something nice every year but I struggle with what to get him. I think I've narrowed iit down to a few things. He travels for work and is in need of some new travel essentials like a toiletry bag, luggage tag (love that this one has a USB charging cable in it!), and new carry on luggage (I'm hoping he's not reading this!!). 

I have rounded up my best finds for gift ideas for the guys on your list! Wether they love to grill, travel, or just relax at home, there is something for everyone!

I have also been searching around online for some holiday table top decor and I found some really pretty options from Walmart! I put together this little collage below with some of my favorites. We already have a buffalo check table runner, so I wanted to be able to incorporate that.

Gift Guide for Him

Happy first Monday of December! I'm kicking off my December posts with a gift guide for the main guy in your life today. I swear, Bill is always the most difficult to buy for, so I try to get his gift first and get it over with! Anyone else feel like guys are so hard to buy for? Anyways, I have been collecting some ideas over the past couple of weeks and decided to round up a bunch of my favorites for this post. But, make sure to check out my Gifts for Him Under $50 page under the 'Christmas Shop' tab for some more ideas that may not have made it on this post! I've also included some splurge gift ideas at the bottom if you guys are looking to spend a little more on your man!

Here are my top 10 picks for Gifts for Guys:

1. Half Zip Cotton & Cashmere Pullover ($59.50): Every guy needs a nice pullover sweater in their wardrobe. This is perfect to pair over plaid or dress shirts and looks great dressed up or down! 

2. Antlers Glass Decanter & Wood Stopper ($48.40): I love the etched antlers in this glass decanter! It would be the perfect gift for the guy in your life that appreciates 'spirits'! 

3. BOSE SoundSport Free Wireless Headphones ($169): Wireless headphones are a popular splurge gift this year. Since the Apple AirPods are basically sold out everywhere online, these are a great alternative. They are meant to be used while working out, so they are optimized for that purpose and are water resistant.

4. Tim Tebow: This Is the Day ($14.99): This book is for the guy in your life that loves football and reading. It's more of a self-help book, but also goes into Tim's own life experiences.

5. Timex Leather Band Watch ($249): I was drawn to the sleek, no fuss design of this watch. Bill is definitely not 'flashy' when it comes to watches and he needs a new leather band one that he can dress up or down. This one would be the perfect addition to his collection!

6. Tie Gift Set ($49): This would be the perfect gift for the working guy! Comes with a tie, pocket square handkerchief, and a pair of socks! You can get the pocket square monogramed for an additional $9.50. Lots of colors and patterns to choose from as well.

7. Breakfast Sandwich Maker ($18.99!): I think I may get this for every single guy on my list! What guy doesn't like a breakfast sandwich in the morning? Also comes with directions and recipes on how to make a variety of sandwiches.

8. Yeti 20 oz Rambler Travel Mug ($29.99): These Yeti mugs have been so popular this year! This is the perfect travel size and will help keep his coffee warm all morning!

9. Jack Black - The Fresh Man Set ($25): This set comes with a facial cleanser, oil-free moisturizer and a body/hair wash. Smells amazing!

10. Adidas Energy Cloud 2 Sneakers ($48.97): The perfect casual weekend sneaker! And they are on sale for less than $50!
