Gifts for the Guys

November 24, 2021 By kimwheeler 4 Comments

Just a quick post with some great gift ideas for the season. As I have mostly men to buy for in my family- hubs, sons, dad, brother and nephews, I’ve had a few things up my sleeve. I thought the men on your list would like this something from this variety. I’ll update this list as we move through the season and take off thing that sell out fast… Please leave a comment on any other good ideas!

This Crewneck Patchwork Sweatshirt in cotton and terry caught my eye for the unique look. Comes in blue and this nice tan. A good price and look for the brother, son or husband on your list..

This stretchy featherweight flannel from Faherty is the similar to a shirt I gifted everyone in the family last year and it’s still everyone’s favorite shirt a year later. The stretch makes it so comfy and a go-to of all the shirts.

My Utah son loves the sherpa type pullovers as it’s very cold there and my dad does too as he is a morning walker. This Nordstrom BP Pullover is definitely on the list for my son and maybe for the hubs too who gets cold working at home on his desk this time of year..

I love Fair Isle Sweaters and J.Crew has many styles. One of my guys who is a sweater person who is getting one of these..and I think I would even buy one for myself with the beautiful assortment of designs. Use the CYBER code for 40% off Monday.

Jack Black has a good gift set to start your favorite guy out on skincare regimen. Jack Black is fragrance-free, colorant-free, cruelty-free, sulfate-free and dermatologist-tested. These are generously sized for $49 and right now comes with a gift with purchase while supplies last. Men should start early on skincare!

How cute are these Nordic Socks for the guy who likes to ski or just loves the mountains? They are a wool blend for comfort and warmth- and 40% off this weekend, with the SHOPEARLY code. I always like to get a pair or two of nice socks for my men’s Christmas stockings.

Love these J.Crew Brushed Twill Shirts for my younger guy- and the hubs as they are slim and untucked. On sale now Monday with code CYBER and in many handsome prints. I’m thinking a good gift for our older one who is now a working stiff and needs clothes for the casual office.

This great Cotton Stitch Sweater comes in four fun colors and I know this will sell out fast with the 40% off sale using the CYBER code on Monday. Comments say it runs slightly small so order accordingly.

Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less, is a nice gift book. I listened the other day to this author on NPR which was so good. I think it’s a book everyone can appreciate, men or women.

Two years ago, I bought all the men in our family UGGs and they all still love and use them- and they are still looking great. For the price and warmth, you cannot beat UGGs for slippers and they are a gift surely to be used and loved so many days- and years! These UGG Scuffs are Max’s favorite as they are so easy to slide on. They come in a range of colors..

The Vuori Joggers are having a moment and if anyone you know has them, this is all they talk about. As the guys in my life are all about comfort, these would be a welcome gift. I like the camo color too. A good one for your dad or hubs.

My guys dig the brand RVCA for the styles and comfort and I like they are a well-made brand. Right now, while they last, Nordy’s has this super soft Fleece Hoodie in sand and in a Balsam green for $39. A quality gift for nephews ( I hope mine aren’t reading), and the younger crowd. Very soft inside!

For those gadgety types this Wireless Charger and UV Cleaner for the phone is kind of fun and smart.

These Rumpl Puffy Blankets are a super idea for those who like the outdoors, camping, ball games, or just for out by the fire pit. They come in a nice carry sack and in unique designs and are 20% off now..

Malin + Goetz Bergamot Body Wash is a super soft scent and feels amazing on the skin. A luxury for the bar soap guy to try, or anyone!

For anyone working from home, or a student, this Coffee Mug Warmer with auto shut-off is so affordable and in our house, used every day! My husband stole the one my son bought for me, so I think we may upgrade to this nicer version.

Max has this UGG Robinson Robe and he likes it as it’s not so heavy, but very warm and soft. This is a gift that will last years also..

For the guy who like fragrances, this Sunset Riot by AllSaints is a unisex fragrance and much talked about as it is similar to Maison Francis-Baccarat Rouge 540 for much less. It’s also a great price now to add to someone’s stocking (or for yourself.)

I bought my college kid this Billabong Quarter Zip Pullover when he was home in October and he says he wears it non-stop. It was a little pricier than the usual fleece, but it’s very thick and soft. He got the Moon color, center, but there are many fun patterns…

I spotted this Esquire Dress Code book at Books Inc., the other day and it’s a must have for any guy who may have some interest in style, but needs a little help. It has guidance for all ages and events. Such a treasure trove and I am getting this for both my sons.

This may not be a very glamorous gift, but it sure is handy, a radiator for a room, like an office or bedroom. We have a few of these DeLonghi heaters in our log cabin and they work so well, and make zero noise we bought one for the cold back room where Max has been working. It heats the space amazingly well and bonus-the cat loves it too! It’s nice not having to run the heater all the time. Could be great for the garage or for an older person, a college kid or anyone who needs a bit more coziness this Christmas.

Lastly, this Elf Monopoly a fun one for the whole family! We got this for the Thanksgiving weekend when everyone is here!

I hope this small list is helpful in kicking off your shopping. I’m working on another post for the women as well.

Wishing you a joyful and relaxing Thanksgiving!

Kim

A little spring in the kitchen while another storm A little spring in the kitchen while another storm rages. Met a friend downtown and we had to dash as the storm hit and power was out minutes later. Stay safe everyone!
I thought I’d reshare our pool bath/powder room I thought I’d reshare our pool bath/powder room today as my builder @mikemccloudconstruction shared it too. I still love the way it came out! I had saved many inspiration pictures of how I wanted this to look. I was lucky Mike helped me make this happen. A good builder who listens and has ideas as well, helps so much. I’m sharing some of  the extra details up close. 

I loved this blue sort of organic watery tile for a pool bath. I also knew I wanted an open shelf for all the pool towels so people could grab them on the way out the door. The @serenaandlily mirror definitely has that nautical almost porthole, sort of look and picked up the unfinished oak color. I used an RH pendant light and the sink is Victoria and Albert. The counter is from a slab of @vadaraquartz that I spilt and used in the laundry as well as the boy’s bath. I choose an inexpensive cement tile for this space and the connecting laundry/mud room which works with drippy pool feet!  It’s been almost four years and all still looking great! 

DM me if anyone wants details I left out! I thought I did a post on this, but maybe not! I need to do that with all the baths. 

Hope you all have a good week and get some nature in the first day of spring!

Just a little clip of some of the stylish looks se Just a little clip of some of the stylish looks seen at the @bnpparibasopen . I always love to see how people mix it up including the guys! Nice to see so many cute looks and cool hats. Loved the Day Glo brights and florals the best. Hope you get some ideas if you are going to this tournament or doing something fun in the sun soon! ☀️

Thank you to all the sweet people who kindly let me share their looks !

Happy Monday. 💛
Are you watching the @bnpparibasopen ? I just got Are you watching the @bnpparibasopen ? I just got back from three whirlwind days with pals and we had a ball. It was so good to be in the sun and and warmth -with snow capped California mountains as a backdrop.  We went in the beginning part of the tournament which we always do, and got to see Andy Murray, Sabalenka, Zverev, Raducanu, and so many fantastic other players. We basically eat, slept and breathe tennis for two days straight and we loved it!  You can still catch play on the @tennischannel 🎾

I will share another Reel of all the stylish people.. Something about tennis brings out the sharpest dressers and there was excellent people watching. 

If you love tennis, this is a bucket list tournament. They call the fifth slam and it’s getting crazy popular so plan a year ahead of you want to go. We reserved our hotel that was walking distance a year ago. More tips on my BNP post that I update each year.

I separated the sectional and sort of like it apar I separated the sectional and sort of like it apart. This RH couch is a LOT of maintenance and can look pretty deflated after a weekend of hanging out. In hindsight, I’d buy a couch that does not require so much fluffing and cushion alternating. I snapped this pic because it was one of the times I had the pillows looking nice on it. You also need a lot of pillows to not get swallowed up by it. I call it the great white.

The local RH actually has a cleaning team that steams and fluffs their couch and I’ve seen them before the shop opens. I found it hard to get reviews on this couch before buying because RH does not have them online and if you notice they don’t do social media… so I’m just putting it out there. I will share what I love here,but I think it helps to be transparent about what is a disappointment too.

Have you ever made a rustic style scone? These are Have you ever made a rustic style scone? These are the only kind I’ve ever made and it all started when I had one in Paris at the @rosebakeryparis years ago. My sweet mom later bought me their cookbook. I was thrilled and have made scones with their fantastic recipe ever since. 

I was missing my mom and thinking about her as today is her birthday, (actually tomorrow she was a Leap Year baby) and made these yesterday.  She also loved lemon so I tried a variation adding Meyer Lemon zest and juice and lots of almonds and it was SO good!  These are a great treat for a rainy afternoon with tea. ☕️ Recipe is on my story.. and I’ll add it to my cookery highlight. The Breakfast Lunch Tea book from Rose Bakery is a treasure if you can still get it with many delicious recipes using whole grains and healthy ingredients. 

It’s raining cats here! Def scone weather!

Hoping warmer days will be here soon and I’ll be ready. On this post I shared some great home books to inspire, a new foundation I am loving, a pretty blouse, the cutest lamp - a great blog post to read and more!
