GIFT GUIDE 2021...THE GUYS GIFTS & STOCKINGS

It was much easier buying for my sons when they were little, now that they are adults, it’s more challenging but it’s still so much fun to pick out just the right things for them. Mr. Nine usually gives me a list but I like to get him some surprises too! I hope you find some inspiration in this one for the guys in your life!

Jack Black Beard Grooming Kit ~ I was reading that these men’s grooming products are sound the best on the market, all five-star reviews, I think Mr. Nine needs them!

 

Craftsman Tool Box ~ Our family loves craftsman tools, I grew up with a dad who loved them and now my husband and sons love them. This is the perfect sized toolbox

 

Zella Fleece Joggers  ~ Did you know that selling makes clothing for men? So many women love them so why not create some joggers for our guys, these are awesome and such a great price.

 

Carhartt Pullover ~ One of our sons is getting this, you know how I loved Carhartt and so many guys do too!

Cord Roll Up Case ~ Keep all those cords in one cool and tidy place! This roll out leather pouch is a huge winner. 

Wireless Headphones ~ I got Mr. Nine a set of these for when he’s on the lawnmower and he absolutely loves them!

Acqua Di Gio Cologne ~ I forgot about this cologne. I remember I used to love it so much! It smells absolutely divine and is a winner for men of all ages.

Yellowstone DVD Set ~ Have you seen the show! This is a great first three seasons set to get started if you haven’t heard binge watch again if you’d love it! It’s so good!

 

Carhartt Beanie~ My boys own several of these and wear them all the time in the winter. Girls love them too! You cannot go wrong with the price point below 20 bucks.

Conveyor Belt ~ I love getting unique belts for guys and this one is really really cool.

 

Apron ~ How cute is this for your chef or grilling man?

Yeti Hard Cooler ~ Need I say more? Except I will say that the slim to color is absolutely gorgeous!

 

Battery Daddy ~ My dad and the boys all got this last year and it’s perfect keep all your batteries in one place. They love them.

STOCKING STUFFERS

I just love stuffing the stockings! The best place for stuffers is Amazon and Target or Walmart for little things like Chapstick and gift cards and lottery tickets. You can find some great ideas at the Dollar Tree like car air fresheners and candy. I have gotten all my guys the stuff below and it's been huge hits, especially the Candle Lighter, USB Charging Cords, Manly Soap and Happy Nuts Cream.

It is a duckpin bowling establishment and it is huge; they had all the college games on TV, there was pinball and bocce ball and the three hour wait to do duckpin bowling was worth it!

GIFT GUIDE 2021..What She Really Wants

This gift guide was a huge hit Last Year! Of course, we all want things that we are going to love and use and not just some random thing that sits on the shelf or in our closet, so I’ve compiled another gift guide this year of the things that a woman might really want!

And here’s what is so funny, I always thought people needed the most help with what to buy was the males in their lives, but I did a poll on Instagram, and it was an overwhelming 75% that people need help with what to buy the females in their lives! So, this is a goodie! I'm not really including a lot of fashion here as a lot of people don't always like buying clothes for others.

 Nespresso ~ I have been wanting one of these for a couple years now and I think one just might be under the tree at somebody’s house for me!

Barrington Tote Bag ~ My sweet girlfriends got me one of these totes for my 50th birthday and I have been in love ever since! This would make such a perfect gift! I carry it all the time.

 

Barefoot Dreams Circle Cardigan ~ You cannot go wrong with these cardigans! Not only do I love everything from barefoot dreams but I own this Particular Circle Cardigan in two colors and literally wear it all the time.

Ugg Slippers ~ I own so many UGG slippers I love them all so much. You can’t go wrong with these either. Make sure you get the UGG Protective Spray to go with them.

 

Fit Bit ~ You know I’m crazy but my Fitbit, I like the sleeker lines then of the Apple Watch and I like the way it gives me my information better. Here is the new model and I have to say, it is quite striking.

Godiva Chocolates ~ box of yummy chocolates..yes please! 

La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal Parfum ~ This heavenly scent is well worth it! I bought this as a birthday gift to myself this past year and it is definitely a favorite!

 Stud Earrings ~ Mr. Nine got me these pyramid stuff earrings and when I’m not wearing statement earrings, these are my go-to

Sephora Gift Card ~ I don’t think you can go wrong with all the beauty items in either one of the stores! I always love it when I get one of these gift cards.

 

Designer Bag ~ I want a YSL or Chanel. I don’t know why but I have a really hard time asking for these types of items.

Williams Sonoma

I love Williams Sonoma but I feel like it’s something most of us don’t buy for ourselves so what better time to get it for the ladies or even for you, LOL!

Gold Monogram Mugs ~These are absolutely STUNNING!!

 

Gingerbread Cookie Cutters ~ There is something about copper I just love and these little gingerbread cookie cutters are so cute!

 

Marble HoneycombWine Chiller ~ Bees are all the rage so this honeycomb in marble is precious! This is such a beautiful wine chiller! So nice!

 

Cheese Boards ~ Or as I like to call them charcuterie boards, LOL! Cannot go wrong with this sturdy set.

 

Honeycomb Utensil Holder ~ How I love a pretty utensil holder in the kitchen! And there is another darling honeycomb!

 

Moscow Mule Mugs ~ These copper mugs are enchanting as well! I just love sipping my mules out of these festive and timeless hammered copper mugs!

 

Pasta Machine ~ How fun to make your own pasta! I’ve heard this one is super easy to use and just think how much healthier and fresher making it yourself!

 

Cheese Knives ~ Oh these are just the prettiest cheese knives ever! Imagine these on your charcuterie boards!

 

Walmart Christmas Decorations

And since I’ve been decorating for Christmas all week, I thought I would show you some fabulous decor at Walmart! They are killing it in the Holiday section and there are so many cute things! I own several of these things like the Buffalo Plaid Top Hat (under $10) and the Plaid Ornaments as you know one ours trees is buffalo plaid. I also have the Small Flocked Tree and the amazingly priced Frisco Flocked Tree. And will you look at those CUTE Pillows!

Mixed Greenery Wreath // Tree Pillows // Buffalo Plaid Wreath // Christmas Lamp // Red Truck // Holiday Camper // Buffalo Plaid Hat // Plaid Balls // Truck Print // Tabletop Tree // Snowmen Trio // Flocked Tree

Friends all I want for Christmas is a doggie. 

Mr. Nine still says "No!" 

Pray he changes his mind!
