5 Stocking Stuffers FOR GUYS ($25 & under) – Holiday Gift Guide 2018

October 29, 2018 · In: Gift Guides

 

Can anyone please explain WHY men will never tell us what they want? “What do you want for Christmas?” “I don’t know” “What do you want for dinner?” “I don’t know” JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND I’LL GIVE IT TO YOU LOL.

Today I want to share with you my favorite “Stocking Stuffer” gifts for guys! These are $25 and under and are small enough to fit in a stocking. I know not all guys are into the same things or have the same personality, but this is just some items I know the men in my life would enjoy.

1. Vineyard Vines Socks – I know, I know, I know. Socks aren’t really original in any way shape or form. BUT the guys in my family are obsessed with Vineyard Vines socks! They all rave about how comfy they are and they hold up beautifully. Grant has pairs for every holiday and he loves breaking them out. He always get compliments on his socks despite not being a “sock guy.” These are nice to get because they’re definitely something a guy would enjoy, but not necessarily buy for themselves. They offer tons of patterns and colors for all personalities. The normal price for them is $19.50 BUT as a former VV employee I can promise on Black Friday they’ll give you 25% off, they also give a student discount, AND if you call into a store they will gift wrap AND ship them to you FOR FREE. The socks I have pictured are the Mahi Christmas pattern from last year that Grant has. Above I linked the men’s socks section on Vineyard Vine’s website.

2. Car Air Vent Phone Mount – I found one of these over a year ago for $5 for myself at Target in Bullseye’s Playground (the dollar spot that’s now like $10 and under lol). I didn’t get this exact one obviously, but this one has great Amazon reviews and honestly it looks a lot nicer. This one runs a little under $11. I never had anywhere to put my phone when using it as a GPS in the car, and this solved my problem! I didn’t want a suction on my windshield, so this was perfect. Over time my boyfriend kept using it and loved it, so I got one for his stocking last year! Then my Dad saw it, and he got one as well. All of us love it and it is so convenient and I can honestly say I use it almost every day.

3. Battery Tester – This may seem so weird but the guys in my life love gadgets! My dad has had one of these for as long as I can remember. He doesn’t have this one exactly, but it gets the same job done. And I honestly can’t imagine someone NOT having one of these babies. Any time something battery powered stops working I ask myself, “So is it broke or are the batteries bad?” And let’s be honest, I don’t live with my parents anymore, so I’m lucky if I have AAs on hand. And the last thing I want to do is spend money on batteries I don’t need. This one from Amazon is only $6.99!

4. Sweater Stone – This is definitely a little unconventional, but this is a gift even I would love to receive! Only $7.95, plus Nordstrom’s always gives free shipping. This is a tool everyone could use in their closet to keep their knits, not just sweaters, looking good as new. I wonder how many items I’ve gotten rid of that I could have saved with this puppy?

5. YETI Rambler – Not gonna lie, I was always hesitant about the Yeti brand. But I did splurge on a $250 cooler earlier this year lol. I am now a believer! There is a variety of Yeti rambler products just under $25. The colster, 10oz lowball, 10oz wine glass, and my favorite the 14oz mug. These also come in a variety of colors! This is once again a great gift not just for men, but for women as well! Get them something that will keep their favorite beverage hot OR cold for HOURS!

 

So that’s the line-up for my 5 Stocking Stuffers for guys, all under $25! I would love for you to leave a comment on your favorite item, something you would like to give OR receive. Also, leave me a comment with what you’ll be putting in your guy’s stocking this year. I would love some more ideas.

    My boyfriend gave me a phone mount that he got at Walmart for like $2 or so! I use it all the time! Maybe it’s time to grab him one, and maybe one for my dad!

    A yeti mug is such a neat idea! They’re masculine and rugged yet functional!

    I need the mount for both my husband and my car. I always put my phone in the cup holder.

While this Christmas photo looks different than pl While this Christmas photo looks different than planned this year, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas surrounded by peace and love🫶🏼

My prayer is that next year brings the blessings we hoped and prayed for this year, whether those things are big or small.

I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @mo I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @morganjuliadesigns brand new Jersey City location on our way home from NYC🫶🏼 This only added about 20min to our trip which was well worth it!🪡 Such a beautiful shop with so many great canvases👏🏼

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅
