Gifts men will actually want. I have seen the cigars, the shaving kits, the scarves, the cologne. But lets get real. My husband is tired of these stereotypical presents and quite frankly, so am I. Boring. So if you are looking for exciting gifts that will leave your dad, brother or boy toy glowing with glee, I suggest one of these!
Hue Wireless Lightbulbs {$188}: Have you seen these? They. Are. Awesome. These bulbs have WiFi capability and controlled through your smart phone or tablet. With millions of color options, coordinate a color scheme from your latest Instagram, wake-up to a sunrise alarm clock, set up notifications with blinking lights and so much more! You can even turn your lights on or off when away from home.
Parrot Mini Drone {$99}: I secretly want one myself. This little guy is incredible, small and performs nifty tricks. Soar through the sky and snap aerial shots, this mini drome will entertain your man for hours on end.
A Piece of Wrigley Field {$20 and up}: You have a baseball fan on your hands? Wrigley sells chairs, bricks and other mementos that were once part of the infamous Wrigley Field. Great for an office!
The Tivoli Pal {$300}: Lets you take your music everywhere, thanks to a rechargeable battery that provides hours of cordless playback. You can stream the audio from your Bluetooth wireless-enabled device, such as an iPod, making the Pal even easier to use. The sleek, compact design puts out exceptional high-fidelity sound and features critically acclaimed tuning technology for the AM/FM radio.
Zombie Dust {$15}: A small batch microbrew produced by Three Floyds, that is almost impossible to find. Considered the king of all beers, this IPA even has a cult following. But you are in luck! I don’t really want to share this secret, but Eataly gets this in stock usually every Tuesday or Wednesday. It flies off the shelves in a matter of hours but I have scored numerous cases right after work. You can also order this on draft in Eataly’s brewery and here’s a list of restaurants and bars that serve it as well. This would be a rare and special treat to find in his stocking. Even more rare than an orange!
Tom Dixon Candle {$80}: This is not quite as exciting as the others, but gentlemen really do enjoy a nice candle. Whether it be placed on his desk, bedside or kitchen counter, the smell is incredible and the metallic vase double serves as chic decor.
Tumi Just In Case Travel Duffel {$95}: A life saver. This Tumi duffel bag folds up flat and tiny to be completely packable in one’s suitcase. Use it as an extra bag to carry home your new treasures or the perfect tote for a getaway weekend! Light weight, durable and it comes in girl colors too (wink, wink!).
