It has been well-documented that buying holiday gifts for men can be difficult. I have found some more items on Amazon that can make great gifts for the men on your list.

  • DudeRobe. Y’all, I am all about the DudeRobe. My husband has never found a robe he liked, but I’m thinking he will like this one. He’s getting one for Christmas this year, but keep that to yourself. Actually, it looks so awesome that I’m considering a “one for you, one for me” thing. Should we match? Dude Robes are not fussy. They’re made of sweatshirt fabric and have cuffs on the sleeves, so they’re not floppy. Take advantage of the Cyber Monday Deal for 20% off here.

Purchase here.
  • Inversion Table. When I was suffering terribly with sciatica last year, I would have done just about anything to get some relief. I spoke with a lady in the Miami airport who told me her inversion table helped her sciatica, so I came right home and ordered one. I used it, and it did give me some relief, but my husband has ongoing back issues and loves it. He swears it helps his joints and reduces stress. There are so many different ones…different ones are suitable for different people. They are offered at lots of different price points. Check out the offerings on Amazon here. ***Ask your doctor before using an inversion table***
  • Vintage License Plate Sign. My husband has one of these in his mancave. It was one of his favorite purchases at one of his favorite bars. Now you can order lots of different styles on Amazon. It makes a great gift for the man who has everything. Purchase here.
  • Dr. Squatch All Natural Bar Soap for Men, 3 Bar Variety Pack, Pine Tar, Cedar Citrus and Spearmint Basil That says it all…soap that’s made for men. I have several friends whose sons and husbands use Dr Squatch soaps and love them. Great gift idea, but be prepared to order again, because he will want more when these are gone. Purchase here.

We will post more as we find more! Happy Shopping!

Stocking Stuffers 2023

Stocking Stuffers 2023.

I used to hate trying to come up with new ideas for stocking stuffers, but no more… now I love it! Stocking stuffers are meant to be fun! But I also like real gifts as stocking stuffers too, because that’s a big surprise to the recipient…

  • Multitool Pen. It’s always hard to find stocking stuffers for men, but this is a good one…a multitool pen that functions in 9 different ways. Priced at $15.99, it’s a no-brainer. Get it here.
  • Dior Addict Lip Products. My friends and I love Dior Addict lip products. I’m a big fan of the plumping maximizers and lip balms, while some of my friends love the lip oils. See a bunch of Dior Addict Lip Products at Amazon here.
  • Amber Book Reading Light. A reading light attached to a plastic book mark that fits inside my book? Yes, please! If you prolific readers on your list, this could be a great stocking stuffer. It’s even great for college students who need to stay up late reading but don’t want to disturb a roommate. Get it here.
  • I Saw That Jesus Door Frame Sign. Sometimes we need a reminder to do the right thing. A friend sent her child to college with one of these. I think it’s a great idea to hang on a door frame, window frame, or mirror frame. Comes in a variety of colors at different prices, starting at $7.96. Get it here.
  • St Tropez Self-Tan Express One-Hour Tan Kit. For the person on your list who feels better with a tan in winter, the St Tropez Express Tan One-Hour Tan Kit is awesome. The one I’m listing is a mini with a mitt included. Tan fat looks better than white fat, and a tan face makes teeth look whiter. Get it for $20 here.
  • Dr. Squatch All Natural Bar Soap. Great natural soaps that come three to a pack in three different “manly” scents. The man on your list will love finding this in his stocking. Get it here.
  • It Happened Right Here: America’s Pop Culture Landmarks book. A book by Chris Epting, the author of cult-fave James Dean Died Here, this latest work shares the locations of lots of pop culture happenings: featured TV show locations, the dorm room where Facebook was created, the scene of the Beyonce and Jay Z elevator incident, and more. I am partial to Mr. Epting’s work, since he co-authored Leif Garrett’s memoir, Idol Truth, and sent me a message thanking me for reviewing it and recommending it on my blog! *Brush with fame!* This book great for anyone who loves pop culture, and it’s great for anyone who might want to visit the landmarks (like me!). Purchase here.
  • Musicozy Sleep Mask. Mine arrived today, and you can bet your sweet bippy I will be sleeping with it tonight. I mentioned it in a previous post. My cousin slept with this sleep mask on our trip to Panama; it has earbuds built in, so you can cover your eyes and listen to stories, music, or white noise as you drift off to sleep. It’s inexpensive, and you can get one here for the stocking of anyone on your list.
  • Silly Putty. Come on. Silly Putty is always fun, whether you’re seven or seventy, right? Don’t we all remember pressing it on the funny pages of the newspaper to see the image on the silly putty? Plus, it’s just fun to shape and mold. Honestly, I guess it’s the original “fidget toy.” Get a three pack of the original Silly Putty eggs from Amazon here.
  • Gwa Sha Stone. I don’t get it, but these are all the rage with high school and college girls. They’re supposed to tone facial muscles and promote lymphatic drainage. My daughter uses hers all the time. This is a super easy and inexpensive stocking stuffer. Get it here.
  • Makeup Erasers. I have written about these more than once, but it’s because I love them so much! Remove all your makeup with a Makeup Eraser and water! Nothing else! It’s awesome! I use them. My daughter uses them. They make a perfect stocking stuffer! They’re reusable; I use one a day and place it in the mesh pouch. When the pouch is full, I throw it in the washer and dryer with my other laundry…and voila! Fresh Makeup Erasers come out of the dryer, ready to be used again! Seriously, stop wasting money on disposable makeup wipes. Get seven erasers for $25, and use them over and over again! Purchase here. Go ahead. Purchase them for everyone in your family who wears makeup.
  • Compact Waterproof Binoculars. Great for boating, birdwatching, sporting events, or the beach. These waterproof binoculars make a great stocking stuffer and will fit in a small handbag. They have a rubber outer shell, decreasing the possibility of breakage. The magnification is 8X, and they are only $17.99 at Amazon here.
  • Wireless Karaoke Machine. Everyone has that obnoxious friend or family member who would love a good wireless karaoke machine to “liven things up” on Christmas. Right? Hi. It’s me. I’m the problem. It’s me. Personally, I think it’s a great stocking stuffer. And at only $26.99, let’s goooooo! Get it here.

.

  • Beanboozled. Y’all, I thought Beanboozled had left the building, but then, today, a friend started talking about it. It’s a jelly bean game…two different jelly beans look the same, but one is a bad flavor, and one is a yummy flavor. My daughter used to have the best time with Beanboozled, and not just with kids…she would get adults to play too! My brother was the best Beanboozled player (when he was in his 40s!), because he didn’t even flinch when he got a bad flavor (stinky socks, rotten cheese, etc). My daughter thought he was amazing! You can get Beanboozled at Amazon here. It could add some fun to the holidays!
  • Stylus Pens. I write and draw all the time. While I’m on the phone, I’m either walking (getting those steps in!) or writing/drawing in a notebook I keep in my kitchen. I like a pen that writes smoothly, but I also like a pen with a stylus, because I can use it on my phone and iPad. If you have someone on your list who likes to “doodle,” a stylus pen set could be a great stocking stuffer, and they’re inexpensive! These are some smooth-writing pens that look like they cost a lot more than they do! Get the multicolored set here.
  • Mini Cornhole. Enjoy cornhole on a tabletop! No big spaces needed! Get it for under $25 here.
  • Happy Belly Coffee Pods. If you have a coffee drinker on your list, Happy Belly Coffee Pods are awesome, inexpensive, and they come in lots of flavors. I love the breakfast blend. At $26.66 for 100 pods, they are a bargain! Seriously, that’s less than 27 cents a cup. Get them here.
  • Thumbs Up Cellphone Stand. Anyone who relies on their cellphone for daily task could use these cute cellphone stands shaped like “thumbs up.” $8.49 will get a two-pack. Get them here.

I’ll post more stocking stuffers…some more serious ones…later today or tomorrow! This should get you going, though!

Happy Holiday Shopping!
