Young House Love ยป Shopping & Thrifting ยป 2012 Holiday Gift Guide: For The Guys

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: For The Guys

When Sherry made a mood board of gifts that kids and ladies might like, there were actually a bunch of requests for a guy-gifts version from me. Color me surprised. But who am I to deny the people what they want? (cut to me muttering quiet profanities while trying to make a mood board). The good news is that ten hours later I emerged victorious. Fist bumps for everyone! I won’t even pretend that the items below will tickle every guy’s fancy (do men even having “fancies?”), but here are a dozen items that I wouldn’t mind finding under the tree…

1. This HOMAGE NYC tee, which I’m actually wearing right now. I treated myself to this $20 Fab.com find a few weeks ago and the best part is that Clara says “C for Clara!” when she sees it.

2. I’m a sucker for a good notebook. Yep, even dudes need to write things down now and again. So this $10 hand-stamped brown spiral notebook from Etsy seems like a pretty perfect place to jot down your “nefarious ideas.”

3. I haven’t actually used this GYRO screwdriver from Black & Decker, but every time I walk by it at the store I’m intrigued. It’s like the Segway scooter from www.MyProScooter.com of screwdrivers, interpreting the twist of your wrist to the direction you want to drive your bit. Screwdriving of the future perhaps?

Daddy Mood Board2

4. I will always have a soft spot for vintage travel posters, so these caught my eye a few weeks ago. Sadly there’s no Richmond poster yet, but there are still lots of options for those of you who live in (or have a love for) a bigger metropolis.

5. Fist pump… in poster form. Need I say more? I do. This fresh $20 print comes to you straight from Richmond.

6. I couldn’t do a mood board without something bike-y on here, right? So how about this $18 leather wallet from Etsy, which can even be personalized for no extra charge. That means more cash to keep in your… well, you know.

7. These are man cave bookends if I ever saw ’em. And while I like the classic green color of these oversized army men, I think they could also look pretty sweet spray painted charcoal, navy, or even in Sherry’s go-to glossy white.

8. Here’s another suggestion straight from my closet: this striped hoodie from American Apparel is just about the most comfortable thing I own these days. The $45 price tag is a bit more than I usually spend on a sweatshirt, but I’m most definitely getting my money’s worth this winter.

9. This WOW Bluetooth Speaker comes in several colors, but this yellow one caught my eye first. They’re available in a few places around the internet, but the best price I’ve seen hails from eBay.

10. I’m a fan of giving magazine subscriptions to my brothers-in-law for the holidays, and this rustic magazine rack (made from reclaimed materials) could be another option. It’s more expensive than a magazine subscription, so a few of the bro-in-laws would probably go in on it together.

11. The Oatmeal cracks me up on a regular basis, so I see guaranteed laughs for anyone who receives the gift of How To Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting To Kill You.

12. While I wouldn’t normally suggesting giving a guy scented candles, even I can get behind “man candles” which smell like fresh cut grass, a campfire, and (my personal favorite) sawdust.

So that’s my dude-y dozen. Do you guys have any favorites of the mix? Or are there any other items that you’re getting the dudes in your life that you’d like to share?

Update: You can check out all of our favorite holiday decor finds here – many of which are under $15!

    Sawdust scented candle? That makes me laugh! Definitely a “man candle” if anything!

    So… I’m a girl, but pretty much most of everything on this list works for me too! Wonder if that makes me a man-girl? No. Let’s just call this a gender-neutral list for my sanity-identity’s sake.

    Chris asked for 98% stuff for the kitchen, 1% tools and 1% clothes. And he counts “new basketball shorts” as clothes. So while I observed his wishes and got him things he really wanted, not going crazy in the Gap’s men’s department was hard! I learned a valuable lesson though–what us women want to get our men, isn’t necessarily what they really want to receive. Hence–1% clothes. Hahaha.

    I did have fun putting together a dream gift guide for a guy though. Just not my guy necessarily. http://www.chrislovesjulia.com/2012/12/you-cant-go-wrong-gifts-for-him-her-and.html

    I think the cat book is the best thing on that list. I’m not a fan of cats myself, but there’s no way that book can’t be good.

    My husband always tells me he wishes we could be tortoises so we could live very long lives together. That led me to purchase a tortoise print for our gallery wall from this Etsy shop for him: http://www.etsy.com/listing/108481726/tortoise-original-watercolor-painting?ga_search_query=tortoise. I’m pretty pumped about it and I’m certain he’ll love it!

      There are also a lot of really fun stocking stuffers at Urban Outfitters. I’d check them out too. :) Of course there is always lottery tickets, cheap gift cards and homemade cards or coupons you could add too.

I said “oh its not for me, no thanks”. He said, “oh yes, yes its very powerful, just try it”. And handed it to me.

    Pretty much just made a lot of noise, bounced off the screw and maybe almost took out both of us. He said, “well thats not really how you… here” and took it away from me LOL.

    I used to find my hubs difficult to buy for, but one year someone said to me “think about something that will make his life/dailylife easier”. So I started doing that, and odd things sometimes come up, like office related, or even decor. But if it makes his life easier and makes him smile (like the NI notebook above) then that’s just a boner.

    Sidenote: I got my hubs a Black and Decker Matrix drill with the sander attachment. His mom got him the trim saw attachment and his dad got him the router. (I don’t know what a router is, *hangs head in shame*) My parents got him a torque wrench set. Essentially he’s getting a mini workshop for Christmas.

    But I’m going to order one of those campfire candles now…for myself.

    Thanks, John! I just ordered the Army bookends for my Army guy. He loves quirky things like that. I am probably the oldest person to order from Urban Outfitters…ever. If you enter purplewishes into the promotion field you get free 3-day before Xmas shipping and 10% off.

    Love the NYC shirt! Does it run small or big? I’m thinking my husband would love it…

      It runs a little small I think. I got a medium.

    Thanks for the mood board! My eye went right to the army dudes as we have a few thousand currently residing at La casa. Plus tanks, trains , planes and whatever a man in his 30’s with the heart of a 12 year old boy would love. They are on their way to a man who can truly love them.
    Thanks again!

    Well, John, I hope you get a kickback from the fab.com folks, because I just joined and dropped a wad there. One thing I don’t get, though – on the Seattle print on your mood board, what is that weird circular thing halfway down on the right side?

    Seriously, this might be the best Dude Gifts post ever.

      Thanks! Nope, no kickback from Fab.com but their site is fun, right? Oh and in that Seattle print I think that circle is the sun?

    Love the fabric you suggested for a shade in the hall bathroom. I think it would look adorable as a shower curtain in a kids bathroom. :) Thanks for the idea!

    Today Apartment Therapy pointed to some bike/taxidermy related wall decor that made me think of y’all! You might have to amend the ol’ Christmas mood board after you see these…
