2024 Holiday Gift Guide For Dudes

THE GIFT GUIDES ARE HERE!!!

I’ve got some very fun gifting ideas for a variety of humans: Dudes (below), Home Cooks and Food Lovers, Beauty and Wellness Enthusiasts, and Home and Style Mavens. 

We all know that holidays aren’t about the presents. BUT giving presents can also be a small joy, and I take great pride each year in helping some of you find the perfect thing for someone you love. Especially the tough giftees. (I feel this pain. Everyone in my family is shockingly difficult to shop for.)

As always, my hope is that these gift guides help make shopping for your people a little bit easier and more fun. And reminder that it can sometimes be helpful to forward these gift guides to significant others/family members with the subject “Hint, hiiiint.”

Happy shopping, friends! Wishing you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons. Sending a virtual hug.

2024 Holiday Gift Guide for Men:

Icehar Instant Translator. Perfect for the guy who loves to travel or is fascinated by languages. This handheld device translates audio into 143 languages in seconds—no WiFi needed! It’s way easier than fumbling with Google Translate (assuming you even have strong WiFi), making communication a breeze anywhere in the world!

SoHo House Robe. A bathrobe might seem like a boring present, but…you haven’t experienced the magic of this bathrobe. I gifted a monogrammed one to Logan last year, and he’s obsessed. And I wear it so often it’s now considered a joint robe.

Wüsthof Gourmet 5” Spreader Knife. A sandwich enthusiast’s dream! This knife boasts a serrated edge perfect for slicing tomatoes and bread. Its unique size and shape also make it ideal for getting into condiment jars and spreading the contents of said jars on delicious bread. Consider pairing it with an epic sandwich cookbook.

Solo Stove Mesa Tabletop Firepit. The original Solo Stove is always a hit, but this miniature version is perfect for indoor or outdoor tabletops. It’s adorable, functional, and customizable—you can add initials, an NFL logo, or a college emblem!

Aspen Shirt Jacket. For the man who loves to be comfy but wants look polished. Logan has this shirt, and I can personally vouch for the outrageous softness.

Sunski Couloir Sunglasses. Sunski specializes in lightweight, durable, and affordable sunglasses. This style is classic, polarized, and includes removable magnetic side shields for adventurers/mountainous types. (Bonus: I live in my Sunski Ventanas—they’re like Wayfarers but more lightweight and secure.)

Bird Buddy Smart Bird Feeder. A must-have for bird lovers! This innovative bird feeder features a built-in camera that captures photos and videos of visiting birds. The companion app provides information about each species and even allows users to name repeat visitors. So many bird friends to be made.

TheraFace Pro. Because men deserve amazing skincare, too! This multipurpose device features detachable heads for a variety of treatments:

• LED Red Light for fine lines and wrinkles
• LED Blue Light for skin clarity
• Infrared Light for radiance
• Microcurrent for lifting and firming
• Percussion Heads for a relaxing facial massage

It’s all packed in a soft carrying bag with a stand and charging cable—a very fancy addition to any dude’s skincare routine.

Beats Flex Wireless Earbuds. For the guy who’s always losing his AirPods, these wireless earbuds are a lifesaver. The magnetic buds snap together when draped around the neck, and they auto-play/pause depending on their position.

Nanodry Towel. This ultralight, quick-drying towel is perfect for campers, swimmers, and travelers. And it comes in a silicone travel case with a carabiner for easy attachment to backpacks or belt loops.

Vintage Tray. I’ve always found trays to be an underrated present. This ski-themed tray checks the form and function boxes for me, but there are plenty of other designs to match a variety of interests.

Cast Iron Fish Bottle Opener. When in doubt, barware tends to go over well, and this antique bottle opener is fun and functional. Not into fish? You’ve got lots of other festive options. While you’re at it, take a peek at Weston Table’s vintage barware section. These golf club swizzle sticks could be a hole-in-one. (Had to.)

Pendleton Travel Roll-Out Game Set. Treat a traveler to this beautifully crafted backgammon or chess set! It rolls up neatly for easy storage or travel, making it perfect for games at home or on-the-go.

Grill Rescue Bristle-Free Cleaning Tool. For the grill master in your life! This tool provides a safe and effective alternative to traditional wire brushes, using steam power to clean grill grates without leaving bristles or debris behind that might sneak into food. It works on any type of grill and is dishwasher safe.

A Chronological Compendium of Sneakers. A sneakerhead’s dream gift! This poster showcases iconic footwear from the past several decades and would be a fun addition to any closet, office, or bedroom. If you order it now, you’d have time to frame it by Christmas…
