When it comes to holiday shopping, I always end up having a hard time selecting gifts. I can never decide on what my loved ones will love best.

I struggle because I do not know guy brands like I do girl brands. I don’t follow male influencers like I follow female influencers. I always end up buying a crappy, last minute and expressed shipping gift.

This year I am starting early! I found a bunch of brands that I was unfamiliar with to buy gifts for my loved ones.

Cuts Clothing

After doing my research, Cuts Clothing is the Lululemon for men. Cuts Clothing has women apparel too, which I am definitely going to try out, but I am not shopping for myself right now.

Their apparel is leisure wear while still looking professional. Their style is very clean and minimalistic. From hoodies, pullovers, sweatpants, joggers and coats, you will definitely find an item.

I will be buying the Hyperloop Sweatpant, Hyperloop Hoodie and the Rival Tee. These items are made to last, and the price reflects that.

The material of these items are made to make sure the fit never changes. Also, the colors of hoodies, sweatpants and tees are neutral so they can match with anything. 

Swanky Badger

Swanky Badger has everything a man could need. From whisky glasses, laptop bags, wallets and watches, you can find a gift here. All items can be personalized, which really adds a thoughtful touch.

I will be getting the personalized toiletries bag. For how great of quality these items are, the prices are very affordable. 

Karhu

I am starting to see more and more of this brand around my college campus. Karhu is a sneaker brand that has shoes for everyone. They have lifestyle and running sneakers that are very stylish.

These shoes are very heavy duty and will last a long time. The colors of these sneakers are very classy and will go with lots of outfits.

You can also shop this brand at Madewell! These Karhu shoes on the Madewell site are the perfect winter sneakers. 

Luke Case

Something about males traveling is stressful. From the luggage to the packing strategy, it’s an overall disaster. This duffel bag is very stylish and professional.

If it can’t look good on the inside, make sure it looks good from the outside. Its spacious and has padded straps.  

COS

COS is a brand that I was unfamiliar with until I saw them through a TikTok recommendation. COS is a high-end brand, and you can tell by the products.

From the luxury materials used in the items to the put-together style, COS is a brand you should look into if you want to buy a forever piece of clothing. My two favorite items are the Wool Sweater and the Regular-Fit Over Shirt. 

Jubgmaven

Jungmaven is the place to shop for the young and hip. Jungmaven has fun, great quality and unique pieces. From the Classic Sweatpant to the Original Tee, your loved ones can stay dressing comfortable while still looking put together. 

Buck Mason

Buck Mason has the perfect items to gift this Christmas — they sure will keep your loved ones warm. The Thermal Long Sleeve and Cotton Beanie are classic and neutral items that can be worn daily while still staying in great shape.

This is a brand that is age inclusive as well! 

Nice Laundry

While kids joke about receiving socks and underwear for Christmas, it truly becomes exciting and essential for adults. Nice Laundry has a “100% game-changer guarantee.” Nice Laundry has lounge pants, socks and underwear that are mature, fun and beyond comfortable.

Reviews say that they only get better after each wash. The Boxer Briefs and basic Exec Socks are on my watch list. 

From hats, socks, underwear, duffle bags, whisky glasses and wallets. I hope this holiday gift breakdown sparked some ideas on what to give your loved ones this season. No matter the gift, it’s the thought that counts, but you sure can’t go wrong with these brands!
