Year after year, I always hear the same thing from Vic and from Mel. “You guys are impossible for shop for! I never know what you want!” “You always say you’re easy to shop for, but it’s actually really difficult!” Dave and I will both be the first to say, yeah that sounds about right haha. If you haven’t finished shopping for the special fellas in your life (or if you are that fella and want to drop hints to somebody…), check out these 5 and make it easy!
For the Stylish Fella
If you’ve got that guy in your life who is like me and cares a lot about his hair, take a look at the American Crew Firm Hold Styling Gel Duo! This gift set comes with daily moisturizing shampoo to make sure that his hair stays fresh and clean, combined with the firm hold styling gel to make sure his hair stays proper all day! I find myself out all day during the holiday season, so it’s essential for me to have a gel that keeps my hair on point.
I tend to combine the gel with American Crew’s fiber cream, so I can vouch that they compliment each other really well. My hair is really stubborn, heavy, and straight so it’s hard to get the looks that I like. I try to make my hair pop with some volume, so I always need to finesse it a bit and then make sure it sticks with the firm hold gel. I went through Stockholm and Copenhagen, with dreary rainy days using this combination and, I must say, my hair was on point!
For the Clean Face Fella
Now I never thought I’d be doing this, but I must admit, the Silk’n Revit Prestige Microdermabrasion device has become a staple of my routine. Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that my eye bags are getting worse, I’m getting more acne scars, and my skin’s quality is just depleting. It’s become essential for me to use the microdermabrasion device in order to improve my skin texture and elasticity. I’ve been using the massager head, which gives it a more smooth feeling. Anytime I can get the equivalent of any treatment at home, count me in!
For the Casual Fella
This is an essential for me. I have no problem getting dressed up, I love the feeling of wearing a fresh suit and walking around. But if you see me day to day in the winter, there’s a high likelihood that I’ll be rocking a hoodie and sneakers. Come to think of it, I’d be the same in the spring and the fall too. There are a lot of casual sneakers dropping this season, so here’s a look at some of the hottest drops you can find this season for that sneakerhead in your life.
For the Fella that Likes His Own Things
We all know that guy who says that he’s cool with whatever he gets, but really wants something to call his own. Something that when he has his friends over, knows that this was made specifically for him! If you look at Etsy, you can find so many gifts that will be personalized to however you want to design it. This was a favourite for us this year, when we decided to get each other presents. Each of us (Mel, Dave, Vic and myself) created a favourites list and then we personalized them for each other!
This made sure that our presents were actually personal and sentimental rather than something random. It’s easy to cop out and get socks for someone, but this way I knew what to get Dave and he knew exactly what I wanted!
For the Home Tech Fella
For this guy, who just likes having new gadgets and toys around the house, I find that there are way too many options to choose from! Do you go with a new phone, video games, a sound bar or TV? Personally, the new gadget I’ve been eyeing is the Google Nest Hub. If you’ve got one or more of the Google Home products, (personally, we have a Chromecast, Google Home and Google Home Mini) then the Nest Hub is the way to go. It essentially combines all of the products together to run off the same network! This way, you can have Google organize your schedule and pull up recipes all while having your Google Home play music for you!
