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 we didn’t have the best beach weather last While we didn’t have the best beach weather last weekend, we still managed to soak up some sun☀️🌊

The best part of any beach trip is showering after a long day in the water and throwing on your favorite sun dress with your fresh tan🤍 I am obsessed with this new one I snagged for only $35 - plus the perfect purse to match🐚

Genuinely if I have $1 for every time I’ve been told I “don’t belong in Western PA” - I’d have enough money to move to the southern city of my choosing😂 But seriously - I’ve gotten these comments since I was in middle school! 

I’ve heard it said PA is 10 years behind on fashion👀 I can confirm people don’t understand me or my Lorna Murray hat I bought back in 2022👒

Getting vulnerable for a second: I love creating content and blogging but photographing myself lately, especially on this trip, has been rough for my self-esteem. While curating this post I was second guessing even posting these pictures because I didn’t like the way my body looked. Over the past month I’ve been on a regimen of medications that have thrown my body through a loop have had me not feeling myself. Even a “healthy” diet and daily exercise can’t reverse the side effects I’m experiencing and it’s been hard for me to reconcile that. In this process I’ve been reminding myself I don’t look at others around me or people I follow online and analyze their bodies or looks. 

So this is your reminder that we’re overthinking ourselves more than others are thinking about us. And it’s easier said than done, but give yourself grace through all seasons of life🤍

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫

(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse
