I think that there is nothing harder than picking out a gift for Pete every year. Like it’s really hard for me! I always want to get just the right thing, and I always worry that I don’t have enough ideas. So this year, I solved the problem completely! I got Pete to help me with this Gift Guide and now I have all the answers LOL!! I also added in things that I have gotten hom that have been a hit in years past, and overall, I think that this is a very well rounded list with cool stuff at all different price points. I hope you find the perfect gift for the man in your life, or inspiration for the perfect gift!
For the active guy. Or the guy who has every intention of being more active, LOL!:
For someone that works out all the time, this Thera Gun is the coolest gift ever. It is like having a deep tissue masseuse in-house- they have three different varieties and they are all awesome.
If your man has not taken the dive yet, the Apple Watch Series 5 in space gray is a very functional, practical gift that will keep him connected at all times.
I got pete one of these Adjustable Weight Vests years ago and he still uses it. I like it because I could talk him into just taking a walk with me and it can still be a workout with him carrying a 40 pound weight vest!
Pete tells me that he wants this Dynamic Ab Plank Workout and that every guy would want one of these!
Great for wireless cardio and pretty much everything else, these sleek Power Beats Pro are an easy win!
This Folding Electric Kick Scooter is for the kid at heart to rip around the neighborhood or to make a commute to work environmentaly friendly and fast!
This Vibrating Foam Roller is for when he is all done working out and you dont want to hear about how tight he is or how his lower back is seizing up. FOAM ROLL!!!
Meifigno Magic Series iPhone 11 Case [Military Grade Drop Tested], is for the man that drops his phone all the time and always cracks the glass.
TOILETRIES LAYOUT
A good wil last ages and ages and this Leather Dopp kit is beautiful in the cognac color!
Acqua di Parma, one of the most classic Italian colognes of all time, and a favorite of mine.
Pete reccomends a Dollar shave club membership , at $10 a month, you can give a year of good shaves!
I am told that this ESPA skincare is the BEST shaving cream of all time- especially if your guy has a strong beard. Pete said nothing else even comes close. He loves the foaming facewash too.
Let him burn this Acqua di Parma Notte di Stelle Holiday Candle, it smells amazing!
KITCHEN SERIES
A bottle of good Japanese whiskey (nikka coffee grain) is a very good idea! try Suntory Toki Japanese Whisky or Haku Mizunara Whiskey Barrel Aged Shoyu
If he likes to whip up cocktails, this Michael Aram Oak Cocktail Shaker is a beautiful gift that he will use forever.
Is your man a big time coffee drinker? I LOVE this Moccamaster Coffee Brewer that I got for Pete last Christmas. It emmulates pour-over coffee but you get it piping hot and it stays put in a glass carafe. Plus it comes in so many cool colors (ours is orange) so you can color code for his taste or your kitchen.
To go with it or as a stocking stuffer Counter Culture Coffee Beans are my very favorite kinds of coffee beans- all of the varieties are awesome.
If you have a guy who likes a kitchen project, maybe look into a fancy Marcato Pasta Machine with Motor that he can spend time creating amazing homemade pasta with. Sounds like a win/win for everyone with this gift!
Even if your guy is not a big time cook, Cookbooks are still a great gift. pete loves them for the couple times a year, when he is feeling creative and wants to really “dig into” a cuisine. here are some of the ones he picked out:
Franklin Steak: Dry-Aged. Live-Fired. Pure Beef.
Taming the Feast: Ben Ford’s Field Guide to Adventurous Cooking
Gjelina: Cooking from Venice, California
Ok, here is some of the fun stuff.
If your guy doesn’t like a big wallet, get him a Classic Card Case that works well as a wallet. Here are two that Pete likes. Here is a slightly more fun version: Card Case as a wallet with a little discreet color.
Functional, dressed up New Balance Leather Sneakers are a great gift.
Or if you want to go Luxe, these gorgeous Leather Brogue Boots are absolutely amazing.
Just for fun, and very cool: Andy Warhol Skateboard
WOW. I would love to get this Keepall Bandouliere 50 duffle for Pete. What a great weekend bag!
Cozy Gear is very important in the winter! Here are some good finds for staying warm and comfortable.
I love the color and knit of this Cable-Knit Wool-Blend Beanie plus it looks very comfy!
Sometimes you need to just wear pajamas and lie on the couch. When that feeling strikes you want to make sure your man has these Flannel Lounge Pants , these Ugg Ascot Slippers on his feet and I like this cool Tundra Trek Sweatshirt too.
Maybe when he lies around he will want a Giant Stress Ball to squeeze or a to write in a moleskin Journal or take with him for jotting down when ideas strike!
Or if you just want to get an extra practical/wonderful gift that ANYONE would like, lets go with cashmere. I love this Everyday Cashmere Crewneck or if you want the extra swanky version try this Men’s Cashmere-Blend Crewneck Sweater or try this Softest Cashmere Scarf.
