Men. You can’t live with ’em and you can’t live without ’em. And while we’d love for them to be uber descriptive when it comes to the things they need/want come gift giving season, that’s not always the case.

Take Pete for example. He’s the type of guy who doesn’t let on when he needs or wants something and on the off chance he does, he’s quite particular when it comes to jackets, sweaters and the like, which makes it even harder to infuse the element of surprise into his gifts. Rest assured, he approved this round up, which is perfect for husbands, boyfriends, dads, grandpas, brothers, uncles…you name it.

A quilted jacket for those in-between days (before it’s time to break out the heavy outerwear), a fresh pair of flannel pajama pants and a new pair of gloves fall under things he needs. While a fun drinking glass, sleek fitness tracker or a Bose speaker for his office (or home) could definitely be classified as wants!

Our good friend Keith has an eye for the finer (albeit functional) things in life and he always seems to have some slick gadget in tow when we get together! The Yeti cooler was one of his discoveries and it holds ice for dayssss – perfect for the beer connoisseur/frequent tailgate goer.

What’s your favorite gift to give the guys in your life?

Tip: Nordstrom and Shopbop (or East Dane, for men) are by far two of my favorite retailers for several reasons. They both offer a wide variety of brands, shipping is free (and fast, I might add) and if whatever you purchased didn’t work out, returns are just as smooth – while also being free of charge. It’s a no-brainer, really. Be sure to check out both East Dane’s gift guides and Nordstrom’s gift guides for a slew of additional gift ideas this holiday season!
