Happy Monday Yall!

Today I am starting my gift guide series that will continue through December! I decided to begin with the gift guide for him because women tend to Christmas shop a little (okay, a lot) earlier than men do! I used to work at a boutique in my hometown, and 80% of our customers on December 23rd and 24th were men who waited until the last minute to find a present lol! So I’ll be sharing the gift guide for her later on. All my ideas listed below are perfect for boyfriends, husbands, dads, brothers, and any other special guy in your life! 🙂

1: Bose Wireless Headphones

I don’t know why, but I have always thought wireless headphones were SO cool! These are especially great because they reduce most noise and have voice control over your music, texts, etc!

2: Six Pack of His Favorite Beer

This gift speaks for itself. Guys really are easier to please than we think!

3: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Cologne 

Cologne is such a no-brainer gift! Every guy likes smelling good, and this particular scent is amazing. My best friend wears it, and he always gets complimented!

4: Ugg Slippers

I’m obsessed with my Ugg slippers, and I know any guy would be too! They’re so cozy for wearing around the house and will last for years!

5: True Grit Frosted Tip Pullover

This is another easy present to buy him! This brand is known for their amazing pullovers. It’s super easy to throw on if it’s chilly outfit and still look put together!

6: Ted Baker Bow Tie

Like I said, most guys wait until the last minute, so this bow tie is perfect to have on stand-by for any events or holiday parties quickly approaching! Plus it’s under $60 and great quality!

7: Ted Baker Leather Watch

Sure, I like the Apple watches, but I think classic watches are still my favorite. This particular one has a beautiful leather band with a rustic face! Any guy would appreciate it!

8: Bose Wireless Speaker 

I LOVE this speaker because it’s really loud for the size and it’s wireless, so you don’t have to worry about any cords! My guy friends are constantly playing music and would definitely want this!!

9: Frye Leather Overnight Bag 

Most guys don’t ever think about buying luggage, but this Frye piece is SUCH a good investment. Yes, it’s pricey, but this bag will last a lifetime!

And a few more ideas…

-Tickets to his favorite singer or sports team

-A monthly subscription for cool products (Like SprezzaBox or BirchboxMan)

-Gift card to his favorite store or restaurant

 

I’d love to hear any ideas y’all have, so comment your favorite products for him below!

Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

 

 

Happy Thursday!

Since Halloween is only a few days away, I thought I would create an easy DIY costume guide of my favorites! I know I always wait until the last minute, so this is helpful if you’re still struggling for outfit ideas. The best part is that many of these pieces are probably already hanging in your closet. If not, I linked a few options and highly recommend overnight shipping to make sure everything arrives on time lol! Here’s to hoping this gives you some serious costume inspiration!
