A Holiday Wishlist for Him

December 4, 2012

If your Mr. is anything like my Mr. he is super hard to buy for. He wont tell you a thing he wants until the day before Christmas when you’ve already done your shopping and everything is wrapped under the tree. Do they do that on purpose?

This year, I bombarded the Mr. with a toe tapping, arms crossed “What do you want for Christmas, and don’t say nothing” conversation. It resulted in a blank stare and a lot of this…. <crickets>. So, if I were a Mr, these are some items that I would want.

 
 
1. Any great smelling cologne / 2. A nice leather satchel bag (aka Man purse) / 3. Iphone 5 or any tech-savy gadgets / 4. Scarves / 5. Neck Ties / 6. Microbrews, Beer of Month Club Membership / 7. New Kicks (maybe not in Purple though) / 8. Golf Balls
 
 
Guess what that guy I live with did to me yesterday? Told me what he wanted for the Holidays. Guess what I did early to prevent wedding+Christmas stress? Already finished my Christmas shopping…wrapped and under the tree. ZINGER!
 
Does the Mr. in your life tell you what he wants for the holidays?

    It's always so hard to shop for men!! These are some wonderful ideas though!! Hubs just got an iPhone 5 and could use some "techy" accessories to go with it. AKA a case before he breaks it!!

    This year my guy actually gave me some ideas! Maybe it was because I cornered him three or four times to ask – he had to shut me up somehow!

    When I ask my hubby what he wants, he always says "I don't need anything"! Oh boys. Last year we didn't do gifts and I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't do them again this year.

    Men are SO hard to shop for! I got my guy to write a gift guide for men, in the hopes of- you know- ideas. And afterwards he tells me "But what I really want isn't on that list." Ugh. Is it so hard to tell us?

    Anyway, this guide has some fantastic ideas. Will definitely be checking some of these.

    Love the beer idea for my hubby. I get the same response when I ask what he wants…lots of crickets too. I think it's safe to say most men are the same way.

    Thanks so much for posting some ideas for men! They are so hard to shop for sometimes! Love your looks and how you styled Rachel Bilson…she is so cute! And it's definitely fun sometimes dressing up for the grocery store. I hope you are enjoying this holiday season! So glad I found your blog. Looking forward to more posts. If you get a chance, I would love for you to stop by and check out my post on some Christmas style and one of my favorite LBDs! Have a great day!
