On the heels of last week’s 65 gift ideas for her, here are my favorite gifts for the men in your life! I’ve found myself gifting the same items to my husband, dad, brothers, father-in-law, etc. over the years so I consider this list the best of the best. Many of these will be on sale come Black Friday and Cyber Monday (if they aren’t already!) so bookmark this post for when you start shopping later this week. My goal is to have our holiday shopping just about finished this time next week but we shall see!
To be honest I hardly remember what my husband looks like without these in all the time. ?
Will and I just did the 23andMe health and ancestry tests and the results were fascinating! Now I’m dying for the rest of my family to do them so we can compare results.
Smathers & Branson needlepoint baseball cap, $35
A cute baseball cap on and off the court.
Exactly the kind of investment piece I love to score during a sitewide sale. ??
Mark & Graham leather briefcase, $299
Will desperately needs a new briefcase — how handsome is this one?
Workout motivation for the year ahead.
Will and my brothers are obsessed with bringing this game to the beach on Nantucket. We even have a photo of them playing the morning of our wedding!
A classic style that looks great on guys of all ages.
My dad, brothers, and husband all wear these — I swear they’re flattering on everyone!
The kind of thing he’ll say he’d never wear… until he tries them on.
The ultimate cooler for beach days, tailgates, and beyond.
Smathers & Branson needlepoint key fob, $28
An upgrade for his car keys.
Mark & Graham monogrammed wallet, $89
I gave this to Will a couple years ago and it’s held up beautifully.
Comfy, moisture-wicking, and machine-washable.
Polo Ralph Lauren cable-knit cashmere sweater, $398
The best splurge-worthy sweater, ideally in a color you’ll want to steal. 😉
Smathers & Branson needlepoint card case, $109
A personalized piece he’ll use for years.
Apple watch, $384 and Apple watch strap, $149
Will just got an Apple watch and is obsessed with using it to track activity and sleep. I like this brown leather band way better than the black rubber!
Mark & Graham travel pouch, $39
A good-looking dopp kit that won’t break the bank. I ordered the green for my brother Camden!
J.Crew leather gloves with cashmere lining, $98
A luxe gift any dad or father-in-law will appreciate.
One of our family’s go-to games and a winning pick for secret Santa or yankee swap.

An easy layering piece in a fun color combo.
Nest learning thermostat, $219
Will installed Nest in our house in Dallas a few years back and has been dying to get them set up in our new house so he would be thrilled to open this on Christmas morning. Apparently the technology has gotten even more impressive since we last had them!
Etsy custom needlepoint belt canvas, $82
I finally finished Will’s needlepoint belt (I need to photograph the finished product but you can see it in progress here!) and it’s hands down the best gift I’ve ever given him (even if it took me over a year from start to finish, oops!). I would love to make one for my dad at some point! This shop is great at customizing canvases to your exact specifications — they even took a photo of our dog Rory and painted it onto the canvas so it would look exactly like him!
Smathers & Branson needlepoint belt, $175
A classic pick if you’re not up for making your own.
A gift any coffee drinker will appreciate.
We use ours daily to get the weather, play music, and listen to audio books.

A sweater he’ll hold onto for years.
Samsung Frame TV, $898 with custom white frame, $125
I’m not one to get excited about a TV, but I’m kind of obsessed with the custom white frame option on this one. Perhaps a worthy splurge when we redo our kitchen/family room next year?
J.Crew leather weekender, $498
A luxury gift for any guy on the extra nice list this year.
Juniper Books Harry Potter Ravenclaw collection, $275
Will and I are almost finished with the sixth Harry Potter audiobook (they are a dream if you haven’t listened yet!) and he would flip for these special edition book sets. Wouldn’t they be amazing in his new office?
Because classics are classics for a reason.
Polo Ralph Lauren pajama pants, $44
The kind of thing he’s happy to have and wouldn’t buy himself.
Nantucket Print Shop Land Rover print, $225
A framed print of every guy’s dream car.
Will’s parents gave us a Roomba several Christmases ago and I don’t know how we ever lived without it.
Polo Ralph Lauren baseball cap, $39
Every guy should own at least one.
A gift that looks equally good on your grandfather and your little brother.
