The men in my life are notoriously hard to buy for. After a while, there are only so many novelty coffee mugs and t-shirts that are appropriate. Electronics are pricey, gift cards can be boring, and my handmade gift skills are limited to baked goods. So, each year I’m left scrambling for something exciting, new and actually interesting for my dads, family members and Mr. O. Here’s a round up of the best ideas I’ve seen this year.
1. Beer Tote with Bottle Opener | 2. Pick Punch | 3. Tetris LED Lamp | 4. Astronaut ice cream | 5. Cork Watch | 6. Stanton Wooden Watch | 7. Rootbeer brewing kit | 8. Specialty Chocolate | 9. Nintendo iphone Case | 11. Samurai Sword Knives | 13. Experimenting with Babies book | 14. Rok Espresso Maker | 15. Handheld Espresso Maker | 18. Smartphone Projector | 19. Patterned socks
10. Pebble Smartwatch: This brilliant watch displays your text messages, tells you who’s calling, tracks your food and fitness, and just looks plain cool without you having to take out your actual phone!
12. Intelligent Water Bottle: This bottle keeps track of exactly how much water you’ve had; a handy reminder when you’re on the go!
16. Mophie Battery Cases: These cases hold a full extra charge for your phone and they’re sleek enough to use every day!
17. Morning/Noon/Night Coffee: With different caffeine levels for every part of your day!
What are you gifting the men in your life this year?

Thanks for this post! DH always says he doesn’t know what he wants but I always make a list for him & I’m running out of gift ideas for him!

I bought the pick punch as a gift for one of my friends (who is a girl) and my husband had to play with it first and decided he wanted one too. I’d definitely recommend that gift for all musicians- guys and girls!

that NES case is awesome.
i actually have the guitar pick punch and it is AWESOME – you make guitar picks out of old credit cards and gift cards.

I want some of these! DH is so hard to buy for — not a coffee drinker, not a musician, doesn’t really like music, doesn’t read a whole lot, doesn’t drink beer (or any alcohol), doesn’t play video games, has a case for his phone, has a nice watch…and is so picky, that clothes are hard to buy him! The usual “guy” gift lists never apply to him! Sigh…

@tinyperson: same with my husband – vegetarian, does drink, doesn’t read, could care less about gadgets, not a gamer (we don’t own a game system) – SO hard to shop for!
I want the Tetris light for me though! I used to rock that game with I lived with my best friend, haha
