Glam but first coffee
It is always challenging to buy gifts for a man. Usually, they have a particular taste, or they are so simple that there is no taste really at all. In both ways, buying gifts for men (your dad, brother, or partner) can give a real headache. However, I came out with gift ideas for him, a Christmas gift guide mostly from Amazon.
I decided to do research and make a list of TOP gift ideas that I find useful and special for your man in your life.
No. 1 Breakfast Sandwich maker
Sandwich maker is an excellent gift for your brother living alone, away in college. Is he not a big cooking master and does not have many cooking items. There are many options for these, also double sandwich makers, which would be an excellent gift for a couple.
In general, it does not have to be a sandwich maker; it can be any kitchen item you find useful for a man in your life, like a coffee maker or interesting bottle opener.
TIP! If you are low on budget, search for fun design bottle openers on Amazon. There are so many options for $10 or less.
Price: $24.99
No. 2 Board game
Board games are always a fun gift for anyone (woman, man, teen, kid), and there are plenty of choices out there. A board game has been a top gift for my family for a few years. If you and your partner get bored some days at home, this can be an excellent gift option for both.
Also, a new board game will be an activity for the day, either a birthday or Christmas morning. There are board games for money seeking people, strategic games, funny games, and games for nerds and smart-asses, which I chose.
In the game “Smart Ass” it’s OK to yell out the answer, even when it’s not your turn. Answer first to answer the Who, What, and Where Am I questions, and move closer to being the ultimate Smart Ass. A fast-paced party game for 2 – 6 players, ages 12 and up.
Price: $17.76
No. 3 Men’s Gift Set (Burt’s Bees)
Men sometimes can be too “men” or too lazy to think they need skin care products, take care of their hair or beard or own a lip balm. However, essential skincare or hair care is necessary for everyone.
I choose the Burt’s Bees gift set because Burt’s Bees is a brand I like a lot and have great natural products. I especially love this gift set, which has all the most essential products for men. The gift set includes Shaving Cream, Aftershave, Body Wash, Hand Salve, and Original Beeswax Lip Balm. The packaging is adorable as well (yes, we love good packaging).
Price: $23.75
No. 4 Whiskey glass set
Glasses are always a good idea for men as there can never be too many glasses, and men don’t shop for glasses so much. There are many exciting glass sets for each man, wine sets, vodka sets, or something more classy as whiskey sets, which I went for this time.
Whiskey glasses are nicely presented in a wooden box and include six natural granite whisky rocks to chill the beverages and two crystal whiskey shot glasses.
Price: $28.49
No. 5 Socks
“Socks? Like really, Kristine? ” you can ask. Yes! There are many cute or funny options for socks, which can be an excellent affordable option if you need a small gift or stocking filler for your brother or friend, and you don’t want to spend too much.
You can find many great and funny options for athletes, or movies and gaming lovers, or wine and beer drinkers on the internet. I like these saying: “If you can read this, bring me some beer.”
TIP. Add wine or beer bottle (according to the design) to this gift, and a set of gift is completed.
Price: $9.95
No. 6 Leather belt
Men can use and wear accessories and bags or not, but every man needs to have a good quality leather belt. Again, many options for everyone- color options, prints, designs, and different buckles, but there is a belt for everyone.
The belt is that piece of accessory that, like shoes, says a lot about a man, and I like it when a man has a good, classic leather belt. Maybe it is just me, but I notice those details a lot, and this would be an excellent gift for your partner (in crime, ho-ho).
Price: $19.99
No. 7 Leather wallet
One of the most popular gift ideas for men, is wallet. The wallet is a piece of accessory which I have seen many men use as a baby until the very last moment. The color has faded or washed off and is chopping off. There might be even some holes there, but just don’t try to take it away from its owner. Have you had that experience?
It can be very tricky. I think that men wallets are mostly classy and two color-based (brown and black). However, I have noticed that men intend to be very picky on their wallets (maybe because of their love for old wallet and difficulty to change the senior fellow to a new breeze?!).
So on this one, you need to know the brand or style which your man likes to be sure you buy a wallet great just for him.
TIP. It is a tradition to put some money into the wallet before gifting, does not need to be much, can be just $1 or $5.
Price: $48
No. 8 Classy watch
Another statement piece that every man should have is a bit more expensive gift, but if you want to go special for a holiday and know your man needs a new watch, this is always a great idea!
There are mostly two types of men: classy and sportive! Two ways to how you have to pick a watch for your man. Sportive men (like mine) will have and choose a sportive kind-a-watch (obviously) with timer, Bluetooth, distance reader, and other extra details they need to read the results of their sports activities.
Classy men are Rolex kinds of men and will choose more leather band watches in black- brown shades and choose brands such as Daniel Wellington. I, myself is a vast Daniel Wellington watch fan (even though I don’t own any yet), but I wish to own some soon ( Yes, I did say some, because there are a few I like).
Price: ~ $200

No. 9 Perfume (Cologne)
Perfume is always one of the best gift ideas for him or her. You will need to know his preferences to buy him a cologne, but this gift (again) is on a pricey note, but for Christmas when we intend to spend a bit more for our special one, it would be a gorgeous gift!
I would say there are again two types of men there: the ones who always buy the same cologne (or from the same brand) or the ones who like to change, test, and try out. That will also help you choose.
When it goes to Colognes for men, I (as a woman) go for either Hugo Boss Colognes (my favorite) or Michael Kors. To be honest, I have never seen Channel or Dior as a brand for men. I always go for more “masculine” brands. Sephora has a wide variety of different Colognes to find for men.
Price: $80.08
No. 10 Clothing (shirts)
Men love practical gifts! AMEN! Men love to receive clothing, shirts, and underwear as gifts (as long as it is the right size, fit, and style they love). I am sure there are few exceptions, but I seriously have not seen a man who does not like to receive a shirt as a gift.
Men can be lazy and they don’t like shopping and walking and searching for clothing for them, so as long as you hit the right buttons, this is the best gift option! Men can have two shirts, one pair of pants, and they will be happy because they hate shopping, but I have never heard a man complain if you get clothes for them.
Just surf the internet pages and see which kind he would like: classy, polo or T-shirts? P.S. Macys has a sale right now! But I have seen fun and nice shirts on Amazon as well, so check yourself which price range you want to go for and what your man would like more.
Price: $40
No. 11 Fun, unique gift (100 movies Scratch off Poster)
Searching for gift ideas, I found this page the other day, which has all kind of unique gift ideas for all occasions and all price range. I went over every single page because only looking and reading about these gifts were so amazing.
100 movies scratch-off poster is such a great idea, especially for your partner, giving more ideas of what to do on cold winter nights and what movies to watch. On this page, there are also 100 destination scratch-off posters, and so much more! Take a look!
