Gift Guide: For Him


Today is for the men in our lives! I find it hard to shop for men. As always, this guide is inspired by my dad and husband. Both love golf, skiing, traveling, dogs, a stiff cocktail, live music, classic/preppy clothing and accessories, and sports. So, if this sounds like any guy in your life, this gift guide may help. If you need more ideas, check out my Father's Day guide from this year, and the 2025 gifts For Him.

Some items of note... 

- Both my dad and husband are nuts for anything by Smathers and Branson. My parents got my husband a Needlepoint Driver Head Cover for his birthday, and my dad loved it so much that my mom ended up getting my dad one shortly after. You can never go wrong with a Needlepoint Belt. My dad and husband have collected several over the years. The Life Belt code is LB$50 for $50 off. They are custom-made with so many unique items. I got my husband one, and it truly is such a special gift. 

- This Canvas Tote is small (though they do make it in a larger size, too), so it's perfect to throw in a change of clothes and/or necessities. For example, he will bring it to the locker room to change his outfit after golf for dinner. 

- My husband doesn't leave on a trip without this Weekender Bag. The separate shoe compartment is brilliant, and it holds so much. 

Some items of note... 

- As much as we women gripe about pants and how hard it is to find a great-fitting pair, I have to say, I think men might have it equally as hard. My husband has ordered and returned so many pairs of ill-fitting pants. These Classic Fit Jeans are easily the best-fitting jeans I've ever seen on my husband, and the quality is perfect. 

- My dad got these Corduroy Pants in a few colors, and they look fantastic on him and are a more modern style than he typically goes for! My code SYD20 should work on these! 

- This Quilted Quarter Zip is so soft and a great layering piece. It comes in many colors and fits true to size. 

- These are the best-fitting Swim Trunks. My husband found them in a store in Charleston this summer, and they are relaxed but tailored at the same time. 

- My husband thinks these are the most comfortable Jogger Sweatpants. If he's going to wear sweats, I like these because they are more tailored and polished than so many men's sweats out there. 

Some items of note... 

- My husband wants this Espresso Machine. As someone (me) who prefers drip coffee day-to-day, this doesn't thrill me a ton, but my husband has done a lot of research on the subject, and this seems to be a very good one (and I would hope so considering the price!). But this is his #1 want. I'm over here perfectly happy with our Nespresso machine when I want espresso, ha! 

- This Pizza/Baking Steel is one of my husband's favorite things. You can make incredible pizzas in a regular oven. This is really heavy-duty and high quality and crisps up the crust like no other.
