While there are a few standbys that you can always count on-you want to be excited about whatever you're giving — and more importantly, you want him to be even more so. Get all the inspiration you need by taking a look at this list of gifts for HIM!
BUCK JEANS - The No. 9 denim by Indigofera is made exclusively for them by Nihon Menpu. The idea behind this denim is to have a denim that is so tightly woven that no white will show through from the weft. This tight weave combined with a dark rope dye on the warp yarns create a very dark denim that will fade slowly. A bit higher rise than the rest of their line-up, with a comfortable top block and a gentle taper to the leg. The leg opening will sit nicely over a pair of boots, but won’t swallow up your favorite sneakers. True to size. Will shrink slightly with a wash and then stretch back out.
ROOM SPRAY | LEATHER & SMOKE- Bradley Mountain's Room Spray Series: Leather & Smoke is a premium room spray that brings a musky, manly scent to any room. It reminds me of a room with many leather-bound books. Notes: Bergamot, Geranium, Leather, Clove & Tobacco
BEARD AND BODY SOAP-This 6 oz Rockwell beard & body bar - barbershop scent is thoughtfully formulated to clean both skin and facial hair, the beard and body bar uses premium jojoba oil, shea butter, and activated charcoal to leave his skin fresh and moisturized, while coffee acts as a natural exfoliant.
THE LAWN MOWER 3.0- Beards, body, and down-there hairs—he needs a manscaper like you need a razor. What makes this aptly named tool so appealing is the ergonomic, no-slip, waterproof design: He can take it in the shower, shave over the sink, do his business in the bath, whatever. The no-nick ceramic blade doesn’t exactly hurt either.
ATTRACTIVE ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH- I didn't think it was possible to get excited about a toothbrush until I saw this! He will LOVE it!
NATIONAL TREASURE SNEAKER --These unisex shoes are faithful replicas of the first basketball sneakers invented in 1892 that were rediscovered in 2004 at an estate sale in Vista, Calif., with the same 5" high-top design, brown canvas uppers, turkey feather sole pattern, and Colchester Rubber Co. crest that are the hallmarks of the originals. Located a mere 50 miles from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith developed the initial 13 rules of basketball, the Colchester Rubber Co. was one of the largest vulcanized rubber shoe manufacturers of its time, and its production of high-top basketball footwear predates that of any competitors' by a quarter of a century. Made from vulcanized rubber and canvas, the original sneakers were the first of their kind that protected feet while running, jumping, and pivoting on gymnasium floors. Updated for contemporary casual wear, the shoes have a built-in arch, cushioned insole, and metal eyelets.
NO. 16 SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKEY SOAKED TOOTHPICKS -Yes, these whiskey soaked toothpicks are awesome and a favorite! These toothpicks are the finest quality Northern White Birch, prepared according to exacting recipes for dignified individuals. Includes 12 toothpicks in a glass vial and made from all natural ingredients.
LEATHER BAG TAG- Bag Tags are a great add-on to all your luggage, satchels and backpacks and help you quickly identify your items and helps you recover your gear if they're ever lost, and... It's just cool! Use a regular ball point pen or Sharpie(R) to customize your tag with your personal details - like your name, email address and phone number. They also know everyone isn't blessed to live in Texas, so we have tags available with the TX-USA and USA marks - choose your favorite. The natural veg-tan leather is super durable and will continue to break-in and patina over time. The stainless steel wire is very heavy duty so you never have to worry about losing your tag.
CLASSIC KHAKI MERIWEATHER TENT- We’re not kidding when we say this is the tent that trumps all tents. Not only is it car-friendly (the supersize sleeping-bag-like carrier is quite compact); it’s rainproof, incredibly roomy, and surprisingly easy to set up (really). For glamping at its most spacious, it’s equipped with a closable front door, screened windows, and breathable vents to keep all that fresh air you came for flowing. And it can fit up to six humans! ( This is definitely a gift for you possibly more than him but I won’t say a word..LOL )
NO.08 FOLDING KNIFE- Looking for a way to limit the waste of expensive ebony, the Workshop knife was born! This handle allows Opinel to recover the wood that would have otherwise been scrapped. The result is a mix of walnut and ebony with two veneers bringing these two species together. A 30° cut is made at the heel, then the walnut and ebony are assembled, glued and pressed. Once worked and shaped, the handle is finally buffed just like all the other handles manufactured in this workshop. Every man needs one of these!
PAISLEY SOCKS - These classic crew style socks are lightweight! The Silver Lining Blend is a quality combed cotton blended with silver fibers for naturally occurring properties to help keep feet fresh and comfortable! He will also get arch support and reinforced toe and heel construction
LEATHER KEY FOB- Manready Mercantile Leather Key Fobs are hand-stitched in Houston, Texas, using American leather and solid brass or nickel hardware. At Manready Mercantile, they source the best leathers in the world and will never compromise on quality. They proudly use Wicket and Craig leather which is made in Pennsylvania and has been around since 1867.
THERAPY DEVICE- THERAGUN ELITE- This powerful deep muscle treatment, in an ultra-quiet smart percussive therapy device with advanced sound insulation. Elite works deep to melt away tension and release soreness, empowering you to care for your body daily. Comes in three colors too! (Lin loves his)
VINTAGE STONE-WASHED BELT-A vintage styled belt stone-washed in a 100-year old denim wash house in Los Angeles. Already broke-in, this will be his favorite belt from the first day he puts it on. Made from Horween's vegetable tanned leather with a double-prong buckle and side D-ring.
STONE WASHED DUFFEL #120- Coronado's first Vintage Stone Washed Duffel. Great for a weekend trip, gym bag or an oversized briefcase. Stone-washed in a 100 year old denim wash house in Los Angeles; a classic silhouette with added solid brass hardware and Horween's vegetable tanned leather, the result is a staple piece that looks aged to perfection. Serial numbered to validate authenticity.
ROLEX MEN’S SUBMARINER- This timepiece is the quintessential combination of old-school and high-tech: Same sporty look from the Submariner’s OG debut in 1954, upgraded with calibre 3135 movement (that’s Rolex-talk for extremely precise time-telling capability). It doesn’t get much cooler than a midnight-black dial with a glossy bezel to match—plus, that stainless steel Oyster bracelet is straight-up classic. He’ll wear it to the office, on nights out...pretty much always.
FLINT LEATHER BRACELET- These leather wrap bracelets are super unique- and look better and feels better the more he wears it! Rodge loves these. (Handmade in Santa Fe)
CIDER- We see your natural wine—and raise you a wild-fermented, sulfate-free cider. Rodge’s tummy is a mess…so cider is his jam! At Son of Man, they work to perfect a singular craft. Inspired by the generations of cidermakers in Northern Spain, they have set out to make exceptional Basque-style cider. Basque cider is nothing like the sweet alco-pop stuff served in pints here in the states. It is bright and tart, with a hint of Old World funk. Basque cider is at its best with food. Pour the cider from a height to aerate and carbonate, then drink with funky cheese, salty oysters on the half-shell or rare meat off the grill.
A WASH FOR BODY FACE AND HAIR - This gentle-yet-effective-everywhere wash's scent is bright, clean and citrus-forward, with gentle lavender notes.
SHOE GREASE- The original beeswax treatment known for its superior ability to waterproof and preserve leather. Remains apart in it's unique effectiveness to renew leather and extend the comfort and life of boots, shoes, and all fine leather. Contains no animal fats or solvents. Recommended for heavy work and outdoor gear and leather goods.
JAPANESE DENIM- THE CLASSIC TAPER…14.25 oz fleck denim from Japan. Contoured waistband, 1/8" double needle accents, branded leather patch, Japanese herringbone pocket bags, custom rivets and button tacks, copper button-fly and Made in USA
VINTAGE STONE WASHED BACKPACK- Each Vintage Stone-Washed backpack is one of a kind. Stone washed in a 100 year old denim wash house in Los Angeles; a classic silhouette with added solid brass hardware and Horween's vegetable tanned leather, the result is a staple piece that looks aged to perfection.
LOU TEAK-HELM BOOTS- Designed with elements of several classic styles in mind, the Lou is a fresh and versatile boot that can compliment any man's wardrobe. Made of soft, supple Balthazar leather and featuring HELM's slip-resistant rubber cushion sole, the Lou is immediately comfortable and ready for wherever the road takes him.
ROBOT SIDEKICK OF HIS DREAMS- A robot with pedestrian etiquette. No remote, no joystick, no tracking device, no GPS—just really smart following technology. Gita carries his belongings so he’s free to walk further and more often. Gita’s cargo bin allows him to transport up to 40 pounds, while gitamini can carry up to 20 pounds. Less carrying means he’s no longer limited in how far he can travel by what he can carry on foot, expanding the walkable radius around his neighborhood.
CEDAR WOOD SOAP- The Cedar Wood Soap has warm, woodsy aromas that create a comforting & uplifting experience while he showers. Extracted from the wood of the cedar tree by steam distillation, cedar wood oil has properties that help combat stress, ease tension, and improve focus. Its natural cleansing properties and anti-inflammatory agents help clear out toxins, cure blemishes, and promote balanced skin. Its oil is commonly used as a natural insect repellent. Lather up!
POSTCARD SUBSCRIPTION- A year subscription of a monthly assortment of carefully curated images by acclaimed photographers and artists as well as anonymous material from the 19th and 20th and 21st century.
TWO-TONE BANDANA - The classic American bandana first popularized by Hollywood cowboys was originally influenced by Indian textiles, patterns, and dyeing methods. These printed patterns are designed to look like American-style bandanas but are made up of Japanese symbols and patterns. Each bandana is printed in Portland, Oregon. Lin loves these as a face mask and I love their mask tutorial which you can find here.
