Excited to share some ideas for the men. I consulted Ryan on this guide and most of these are tried and true gifts he loves. I hope this helps when thinking about any of the special men in your life. I know they are not easy to buy for so having some ideas that have stood the test of time may help.
1 | Blackstone Griddle
Hands down one of the best purchases of 2024. Ryan uses this Blackstone griddle all the time. It’s his favorite way to batch cook chicken so we have it on hand any time (uses a food saver and freezes it . . . does this with protein for our son’s school lunches, too). More on that below. You can cook so much on this and it’s really versatile. My son has mastered the smash burger on the Blackstone.
He is also pretty passionate about his smoker. And not just for protein . . . smoked cauliflower is next level. So delicious.
2 | Personalized Stationery
A personalized note goes a long way, especially in business. Always nice to have on hand. It’s a lost art.
3 | A Man & His Car
Such a wonderful book. Stories if people you would recognize sharing about their cars. My son has the Man & His Watch book and it’s not only beautiful but so fun to read. Great great gift idea for any age.
4 | Neutral Sambas
The black and white Sambas can look a bit bold, but these are such a great option to wear with jeans or joggers. Great with khakis, too. A nice neutral look.
5 | Favorite Quarter Zip
This pullover gets a five star review from both my boys! A favorite and I found it at a great price!!! Huge savings (sizes go quickly).
This is a new release and caught my eye. Love this quarter zip.
6 | Food Saver
This is another great purchase of 2024. My husband LOVES it. He batch cooks on his smoker or Blackstone and this uses this to seal single serving portions. They can be frozen and thawed when ready to eat. Tastes exactly like when they came off the grill/smoker/griddle. This saves us so much time. I have to admit – I was skeptical and thought, “What in the world.” But I have to say it was a genius move by my husband.
*Over 10k great ratings, by the way.
7 | Leather Travel Bag
Classic and good looking. A nice personalized gift.
8 | Bose Speaker
My husband has the older version of this and has loved it for years. He always tosses it in his suitcase so we have it when we travel. A great size for a speaker and much loved.
9 | Sharp Knives
I have heard about this carving set FAR TOO MUCH. My husband is happy to talk your ear off about how having the right knives (and sharp knives) is a total game changer. We get to hear about it every time he uses them. He has gifted others this as well. And with Thanksgiving coming up, probably a fantastic idea if you don’t already have.
*Currently 35% off with a $10 off coupon available!!!
10 | Air Pod Case
Love the idea of upgrading the white case. Masculine and thoughtful air pod case.
11 | Thera Gun
Five stars from my crew. They also recommend this massage gun which comes in at a better price point (just not paying for the name).
12 | Meat Thermometer
I gifted this wireless meat thermometer to Ryan last Christmas and he gives it five stars. He uses it all the time. Pretty epic gift.
*Currently 29% off
I really hope this has been helpful. And if you have missed any of my guides you can find them below. Teen boys are up next!
