That Little Something for Him
Every year I rack my brain for that perfect little something for the men in my life. I’ve have certainly mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again – there is not a woman in the world that I can’t shop for, but for some reason men usually have me stumped. That’s why I do the resourceful thing of keeping an ongoing list throughout the year. Whenever a hint comes my way, I jot it down. I catch wind of something new and techy, I pull out my list, and when my hubby or brother find something they absolutely can’t live without, I make sure to take a note when it comes time to replenish.
When I started compiling my gift guide for all the men in your life, something got me feeling feisty, dark and slightly moody. So I pulled some ideas together that bring in a world of playful sensorial items as well, because you know what!? When I’m feeling inspired, I like to just go for it. So… here goes!

WET & WILD
Whether he is already the type who loves to primp and prime or if you think he deserves a little “me” time - every man needs some tender loving skincare. Agreed? From toiletries and pomades to hair treatments and diffusers, I love to extend that incredible fresh and tranquil feeling I get from my self-care routine to all the people I love, and that includes my hubby!
COZY OR TECH
The truth is, you all already know I’m obsessed with Praise! It’s honestly no secret - and so, as the cult fan that I am, I love dressing my man in unisex, matching sherpa, hat and whatever else my fave athleisure line has to offer. The other obvious go-to for “him” is anything tech - apple watch (if in budget), headphones and whatever other innovative gadget has recently come out.
A GIFT FOR THE SENSE
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the sensory world of playful and delightful items to scintillate all of your senses. Whether it’s that captivating book of photographs, that luxurious fragrant scent or that deep sound from the crackling incense - these are the gifts that keep on giving. I got so entranced by my mood board for this gift guide, nothing could stop me from indulging in a little candle lighting of my own. These are the perfect gifts for anyone you loves to create ambiance.
So many ideas and so little time! Go on and get shopping!
