Gift Guide: For Him

for him


I made this gift guide for men this evening and Ben sat down next to me and peered at it for a good 5 minutes. I take that as a good sign that it's applicable to your every day 20-something male (and perhaps beyond, as my Dad would like this list, too) that likes quality goods, adventure gear, and beer. This guide has items from $5-$300+ so there should be something for everyone and for that stocking!

First things first - Ben has a few of the items above: a heavier version of that Arc'teryx down jacket (I borrow it, it's that comfy and warm), an Opinel folding knife that he uses regularly and stockpiles as gifts for any of the doctors he works with, the Hydro Flask that we use for adventures and growler fills on the go. He also has some similar items to the gift guide that he loves: a stainless steel water bottle that carries everything from coffee, or tea, hot chocolate, or water, a nice leather dopp kit that he uses for travel and shaving supplies, and a heavy brushed metal keychain. Things Ben doesn't have? A nice backpack, a silly multi tool, a pan brush for his many cast iron pans, and a great pair of timeless aviators. 

For the practical folks that just want to know what has been successful in the past, last year I bought him this Arc'teryx jacket, a Kindle Paperwhite and a cornelius kegging system for Christmas and his birthday! All are used daily!

  4. My family always had one of the hammer -screwdriver things when I was little and so I think every family should have one in their home. Great suggestions!
