Looking for a last minute Christmas present for a guy? Whether you are looking for your Dad, your brother, a husband, friend or co-worker- see 12 gifts that are guaranteed to please! Our picks let you shop at the store or online!
Leatherman – My favorite all time gift is a Leatherman tool that I received from my Mom several years ago. They are sturdy, guaranteed for 25 years and made in the USA. A neat hand held tool that has a variety of different features like screw drivers, pliers, scissors, knife, saw, file, and bottle opener. The Leatherman Rev is for sale now at WALMART for 29.99 or you can get it on Amazon for $24.99
Moleskine Pocket Journal (or Calendar!)
These handy notebooks were used by Vincent VanGogh, Hemingway and Picasso. Featuring acid-free -paper that won't yellow or fade, a ribbon bookmark, an elastic closure and an inside pocket. They are as handsome and elegant as they are useful. See a few favorites Cahiers package of 3 journals for 9.95 (at Barnes & Noble) , Large hardcover notebook at 15.99 on Amazon, or 18 month weekly planner calendar for 17.95 (at Barnes & Noble). The They even have Star Wars or Rolling Stone commemorative editions visit Moleskine.com for more ideas.
Mag Lite
Want to brighten up someone’s day.. and night too? Try the MagLite flashlight. Home Depot has them on sale, get the Solitaire AAA LED for 9.97 IN STORE NOW, or go crazy and get the large police style 4 D Battery for 24.98. Made of aluminum with a Limited Lifetime warranty- these are great for the car, garage, desk or under the kitchen counter.
Jos A Banks Traveler Shirt
Every guy needs to get dressed up once in a while… even if he doesn’t like to! The Joseph A Banks Traveler’s dress shirts look great, come in slim fit or tailored fit so they are the perfect fit for ANY guy you know. Different styles include dress, pinpoint, Oxford or casual. They come out of the drier looking like you just picked them up from the dry cleaners! You can even find some on clearance at the store or on their website for as low as 19.95! See 2 for $89 Special on Website now!
Kinco Gloves
These are some sturdy work gloves and warm! Think about winter here in the Northeast. Great for changing a tire in the cold, shoveling the driveway or chopping firewood. Best price I could find them was on Amazon for 15.99 (free shipping!).
Contigo Auto Seal West Loop (Travel Mug!)
Ok, it's a mouthful, but lifehacker says that this mug won hands down when they surveyed thousands of readers. Can keep your coffee hot 4-5 hours- plus it doesn't leak! How about a 2-Pack from Amazon for 25.99? Or pick one up locally at Best Buy or Target.
Gold Toe Socks
Ok, this article is all about great gifts. So listen closely, I am begging you NOT to buy socks. Why, because socks are not a great gift... but.. if your Mom told you “get your father some socks!”…or if you are getting them anyways Gold Toe is a great brand known for quality and selection. My favorites are the Casual Crew. You can find them at most department stores, or online and they are reasonably priced.
Harry’s Razor
Ok, back to the great gifts. You like the underdog? Well here is a razor company that is taking on the big brand names with their online store. Harry’s Razors are made in Germany at their own factory. They feature a 5 blade design that gives a close shave. The “Truman” starter kit that includes a handle, 3 blades, a travel cover and the best shave gel you will ever use is just $15! You can often hunt down a coupon code for $3 to $5 off. I love the razors and the shave gel is fantastic. They even have a shave plans that you can join where they make replacement razors are easy to order. Plus Harry's razors are lower in costs when compared to Gillette, Bic or Schick. Visit www.harrys.com for more info.
Fix a Flat
This is a great gift for anyone you know who drives a car! It is a quick and simple solution for a flat tire. The compressed air and a liquid foam patch that will inflate MOST tires and patch the hole at the same time. Your guy will be back on the road and on his way in no time. Great stocking stuffer. On sale at your local Sears store now, just 8.98.
Victorinox Swiss Army Knife
So you don't want to spring for a Leatherman- but need a nice gift for your mailman or a holiday swap. There are dozens of styles to choose from. I prefer the Victorinox brand, made in Switzerland. For about a $10 to $25 you can get a pocket knife- made in Switzerland with a lifetime warranty?!! Every guy in your life should have one of these! He can throw one in the glove box or attach to his keyring (9.99 at Target!)
Need some Power (Jumper Cables/Battery Pack/Crank Charger)
With frigid New England weather this is a necessity for anyone with a car. (My wife's 2015 Sienna just needed a jump this past week). How about this Die Hard Gold 16 ft 225 Amp pair for $19.99 at your local Sears? Or you want to go high tech- try this $45 Half Minute Power Mini Battery Pack Jump Starter on Amazon (it can charge your cell phone too- and gets 4 stars!) Or if you really lose ALL POWER how about this crank charger for your phone with flashlight AM/FM Radio?
Liberty Bottle Works Water Bottle
My youngest daughter found this MADE IN USA Liberty Water Bottle. Aluminum, they have plain jane models or go colorful with cool action related themes. Keep your water fresh & cool in their 24 oz and 32 oz. sturdy sizes. Available on Amazon for about $20-$23. Learn more at LibertyBottles.com. This is the perfect stocking stuffer for a guy on the go!
