The Gift Basics
The basics are items that will not only work well for just about anyone, but are items we all need! These gift basics may not be your first option for gift-giving, but sometimes they are our best option. They don’t require too much creativity and typically fulfill everything anyone could ask for.
- Baskets (more on how to make these below)
- Gift cards
- Stockings
- New clothes
- New shoes
- Socks
- Money
- Holiday cards
- Favorite Snacks
The basics can be our essentials and I have linked images below to take you to stores that have plenty of these items.
Traveling Man Gift
Whether the man you are shopping for travels for work or pleasure, there is no shortage of travel needs. People are constantly traveling these days and it is always nice to have extra travel goodies. From actual trips to luggage storage, travel gifts are some of the best kind.
1.Travel set
2. Flight miles
To purchase flight miles, check out the airline he travels with most. You can often just Google how you can purchase miles for them to use toward in addition to mile points paying for trips, they can also go toward baggage fees, inflight wifi, and more! Having flight miles has been a huge benefit to me as someone who travels a lot and I am sure who ever you gift them to would be ecstatic!
3.Portable charger
4.Tolietry bag
Toiletry bags are such perfect and convenient gift ideas for those who travel a lot. Having a prepackaged travel bag would be great for men who are always on the go. This way, they have their home toiletries and travel toiletries separate and ready.
Luggage organizers are a huge game changer for traveling efficiently! They not only help with figuring out what to pack, but they keep all your items neat. They help with figuring out what to pack as it makes it easy to identify where to put your shirts versus your pants and how much more you need to pack. I use them every time I travel and I am certain other travelers would love them too!
The Gamer/Reader
1.A Kindle
Kindles are a great gift for people who love to read but don’t like keeping heaps worth of books. Not only that, but having a kindle could at times make purchasing books much more affordable. So, if the man you are shopping for constantly buys books, it may save him so much money to just get him one of these!
2. Play Station
3. Games from GameStop
4. Gaming chair
5. Gaming headset
6.Books
Although books are a similar gift to a Kindle, some bookworms love owning their books in a physical form!
The Outdoors Man
1.Fishing Poles
2. A pass for their favorite ski or snowboarding area
The Gym Man
3. Lifting belt
4.Shaker bottle for protein shakes
5.New running shoes
Gift Baskets
Next, grab a cute woven basket and stuffing paper from your local Walmart or Target and grab some of the following to stuff it with:
- Essentials: deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, floss
- Gift cards
- Favorite snacks
- Favorite drinks
- Cologne
- White tees
- Teeth whitener
- Qtips
- Tongue Scraper
- Beard oil
Target has some of my favorite finds for woven baskets to use for gift giving. Not only that but their woven basket selection can be great for all sorts of things as well. When using these as baskets for gifts, the receiver could absolutely keep these for future uses.
Lastly, The Sports Fan
- Season tickets
- His favorite teams apparel
- Team hat
- And finally, team posters
Since sports team apparel can be expensive, sometimes it is one of those items that can be so much better when other people gift it! Target has the cutest seasonal sports fuzzy socks online (linked in the pictures below) that make for the perfect stocking stuffers for sports men!
Thank you!
