Best Holiday Gifts For Him

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SBU chapter.

Stumped on gift ideas for a guy in your life? Your brother, dad, boyfriend or friend can all enjoy these gifts.

 

The Dollar Shave Club

The Dollar Shave Club allows you to choose a blade ranging from $1-$9/month. The blades arrive every month so the guy that you send it to will always have a fresh blade to shave with. This is an awesome gift for any man in your life that you know they’ll definitely use.

 

Mason jar cocktails

 

If there’s one thing we’re pretty sure men love, it’s alcohol. If you want an easy and fairly inexpensive gift, take some mason jars, put a chaser in them and attach a mini shooter. They can make their own cocktails!

Male Birchbox

 

I bet you knew about girls getting Birchbox, but did you know that guys could get it too? Every month he will be gifted with the delivery of top grooming brands. Every delivery includes four grooming samples and a lifestyle item. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

A watch

You can never go wrong with buying a watch. Personally, my favorite watch brand for men is Fossil. If you want to take a cheaper route, you could check out watches from Target, Kohl’s or Macy’s.

OtterBox or LifeProof phone case

Everyone shatters their phone at some point. Prevent frustration by getting him a phone case that makes it virtually impossible for him to break his phone, no matter how angry he may get.

Beats headphones

These headphones are great for everything. From listening to music in the library to watching a movie on an airplane, he will have high quality sound wherever he goes. They’re a really nice gift that I think any guy would appreciate.

Sports or concert tickets

Two tickets to see his favorite sports team or favorite band play is a fun gift that he can experience with you, a friend, family member or anyone of his choosing.

Fujifilm Instax camera

This camera is similar to the old Polaroid cameras. You can take pictures that print out right on the spot. This could be fun for a guy who loves pictures or photography.

Bonaventure (or insert your college here) apparel

My parents, friends and family members are always asking me for new gear from my school to wear. It’s an easy gift that you can pick up right in your school’s bookstore.

Breakfast sandwich maker

This is an ideal gift for a college student. Hungover breakfast can come at any time of the day.

George Forman grill

This is another great college student gift. These small grills fit perfectly in the kitchen of someone who lives off-campus. It’s a quick, easy and safe way to cook any type of meat.

Himalayan salt lamp

 

 

These lamps are made of real Himalayan salt crystals. The salt emits negative ions that help clear out air and get rid of any odors, and we all know that guys need help getting rid of their odors.

Coal

 

Santa doesn’t discriminate. Anyone can be given coal, and it makes for a funny gag gift.
