Well, here we are again! The holiday season is upon us and I think we all deserve a little extra love and attention in this wildly difficult year we’ve all been experiencing.  2020 has certainly been a challenging one, but the holidays are here to hopefully add a little bit of joy to the world. Whether you are buying for yourself, your partner, a family member, or friend, I’ve rounded up some of my personal favorite items in addition to some I would love to fill my stocking this year. We’re calling this a gift guide for the men in your life, but all items can most definitely be used by any and everyone. Enjoy and happy holidays!

1 – Wallace & Barnes fisherman jacket in Scottish waxed cotton

If it’s one thing I definitely don’t need, but keep buying, it’s green coats and jackets. I don’t know why, but   I just love green outerwear. I need to stop, but jackets like these keep getting made, and I always cave. Anyway, this jacket is awesome and I definitely want to add it to my collection. 

2 – The Stitched Belt in Whiskey Eagle

I have many Taylor Stitch items on this list. They are one of my favorite menswear brands, and I pretty much rely on them for everything. This belt is such a quality piece. I love the tan leather/brass buckle combo.

3 – Hasami Natural Mug with Saucer

This Hasami porcelain mug is a beauty. I love the grainy texture and natural clay color. The saucer doubles as a lid, which you can use to keep your coffee warm. You might wanna get two! 😉

4 – Levi’s 511™ Slim Fit Jeans

Everyone should have a pair of Levi’s in their closet. I am guilty of collecting way too many over the years without getting rid of older ones, so now I’m left with way too many pairs of blue jeans, but hey, gotta have options, right?

5 – Ray-Ban Keyhole Sunglasses

Just like above, I think Ray-Ban’s are a must-have. I’ve added a few over the years, but love this specific pair in tortoise shell.

6 – Leather Ballparks Coffee Table Book

Christina always buys me a special book each year, and I always look forward to it. She’s gotten me Bob Dylan – A Year and a Day, William Claxton’s – Jazzlife, and so many other great coffee table books and novels. I came across this Ballparks book and thought it was such a classic. Everyone has a memory of going to a baseball game at some point, so I loved the nostalgia this book gave me.

7 – Kickoff Trainer Sneakers in Neutral Colorblock Leather

I love the color of these sneakers and couldn’t resist adding them to this list. Such a great style! They’re also eco-friendly. *If you’re looking for boots, I HIGHLY recommend these from Nisolo.

8 – Marshall Mid A.N.C. Bluetooth Headphones

I’ve always been big into headphones. I love to zone out to my favorite albums either while laying in bed or even brushing my teeth. Ha! I feel like these are a great gift from such a reliable brand.

9 – Everlane Boxer Brief

I’m pretty sure these are on all of my past gift guides. I have so many pairs of these briefs and they are the best. Highly recommend!

10 – Leather Front Door Key Fob

A great small gift or stocking stuffer. I love the simple design and saddle color.  *Here’s another option

11 – Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt in Tobacco

This shirt is a Taylor Stitch staple that’s been around for years. I love the style, color and weight of it. It’s also made from organic cotton which is a plus AND they now make it for kids which is the coolest thing ever.

12 – ID Chain Bracelet

I’m not a big jewelry person, but I love a simple, classic ID bracelet. It’s the perfect timeless accessory that I feel like would make a pretty memorable gift.

13 – Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum

I’m certain this is not the first time I’ve spoken about Le Labo’s Santal 33. This has been my scent for years and I don’t think I’ll change that anytime soon.  *Also LOVE this scent

14 – Sandqvist Roald Backpack Beige Natural

This stylish, yet functional backpack is the perfect size to fit a 15-inch laptop. I love the natural color and front zippers. Such a good looking backpack!

15 – The Merino Sock in Olive Stripe

Oh socks! The perfect stocking stuffer or small gift. As you know, I’m a sucker for all things Taylor Stitch,  and that even includes their quality socks. These are great and so comfortable.

16 – Stetson Open Road Royal Deluxe Hat

Stetson’s Open Road is my favorite brimmed hat of all time. It has a western vibe, without being overly cowboy. It’s perfect for the fall/winter and I wear mine with just about everything.
