WHAT TO BUY YOUR GUY FOR VALENTINE'S DAY



If Valentine's Day had a team mantra, it would definitely be the viral "remind me of your gender again- these are for GIRLS ONLY" trend on TikTok. We all know Valentine's Day is all about the girlies, however I think it's nice to buy your guy a little something too. Let's hear it for the booooyssss- they deserve some appreciation on Valentine's too. If you wanna do a little something but aren't sure what to get, here are a few of my favorite gift ideas. 

You definitely don't have to go crazy either-- something as simple as a nice card + their favorite candy is great. All of the men I know love food + snacks so whether you opt for snackies, something homemade or a gift card to their favorite place to eat, that's always a fail-safe. 

When it comes to non-food items, men can sometimes be hard to buy for. I always say this but in my experience, they usually buy most of what they want or need for themselves. They also just want less "stuff" than we do (or ME anyway, hehe). Some gifts that my boyfriend always seems to enjoy are books off of his wishlist, clothes (good if you know size + what he likes), snackies, water bottles or a "need" item that he doesn't want to pick out himself (usually something home related, lol). AKA- if they tell you they need a new shower curtain but don't buy one, that's probably a cue for you to pick one out for them!

Nice accessories also make great gifts if you have an idea of their style + are very fitting for Valentine's Day. Something like a nice wallet, bottle of cologne or a button-down shirt have a sexy date vibe to them that is very on brand. Loungewear, boxers + slippers also just feel Valentine's Day-ish to me too. You can go as affordable or splurgy as you want with these items but regardless of the budget, I think most men would appreciate them + that you picked them out for them. Once again- if all else fails, just go for snackies!

WHAT TO BUY FOR YOUR GUY | FALL + WINTER EDITION

In honor of my dad's birthday, here are some of my go-to gifts for the men in your life. Whenever I'm gift shopping, I like to consider both the occasion and season we're in. I think it can be a nice touch to choose items based not only on what the person likes but also how/when they can use them. September is a transition month so gifting a nice sweater or pair of UGGs can be great heading into fall and winter. When in doubt, you can also never go wrong with tech, grooming or food/gift cards. Everyone loves to eat! Whether you have birthdays, anniversaries or starting your holiday shopping, I hope these will give you some inspo on what to buy for your guy. 

If you look back at some older holiday gift guides, you'll see a lot of these same types of items. Sometimes men can be tricky to shop for. In my experience, they tend to buy most of what they want and just want less than us gals do, lol. I like to give gifts that someone might not necessarily buy for themselves. That can be a particular item or an elevated version of something. Sometimes I will splurge on a nicer item here and there which you'll see in this post, however you can find all of these items at all different price points from splurgy to more affordable. I'll link lots of options below.

If you know their style, clothing CAN be a good go to. I tend to stick to the basics- joggers, socks or some type of top/pullover. My dad has a more business casual style so a nice polo or quarter-zip is usually a win. If I were buying for my boyfriend, I would probably go for something a little sportier or sports driven. 

Regular shoes can be hit or miss but UGG slippers are almost always a win. Most of the men I know wouldn't go out and purchase a pair of slippers themselves and if they did, it probably wouldn't be UGGs. I think the UGGs are one of those nice splurge items, however any cozy pair of slippers will do. When it's cooler, they're great to throw on for walking around the house, going outside, etc. Similar to that are the Barefoot Dreams blankets. Definitely another splurge that most of the men I know wouldn't buy for themselves. They will love (and use!) it though- who doesn't loves curling up with a cozy blanket on the couch?

Let's talk coffee. My dad is currently a Keurig guy so I love to buy new k-cups, mugs or accessories he can use. It's a nice and affordable way to give something they already enjoy. You could do the same with tea, fishing, books, whatever their hobbies are. For the mugs- I love these and have gifted them to both my dad & bf. They are a good size, high quality + a clean style. Guy approved! 

Most men love tech and gadgets. I'm not really in the know too much on what's hot these days but I know pretty much anyone can use headphones and they're a universal gift. I also think some self-care or men's beauty/grooming is nice if you know what they like. Skincare and cologne never go out of style. When in doubt, grab a gift card and call it a day!

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS


Father's Day is only a few weeks away which means it's time to do a little shopping! I put together a guide with some Father's Day gift ideas that I think any guy would love. I took a lot of inspo from what my dad likes + what I would buy him for Father's Day, however as I general rule you usually can't go wrong with something sportsy or tech-related! I've found splurging on a nice shirt, a sentimental item or gadget usually goes over well too. My biggest tip is to choose something that aligns with their interests/hobbies or maybe an item they have on their wishlist. Hopefully these picks will give you some ideas + make the shopping process a breeze!
