Holiday Gift Guide: Ideas for Guys

For my final gift guide of the season, let’s discuss the dudes.

Grabbing a gift for the guys in your life always presents a particular holiday shopping challenge… And if you’re anything like me, you save ’em for last.

Before we get into it, though, I’d like to note: Most (if not all) of these items will ship before Christmas if ordered early on 12/23. So let’s get movin’!

Whether it’s a boyfriend, your dad or even just a friend, we all have the same concerns: What if he hates it? Or doesn’t need it? For dudes, it doesn’t matter so much if they’ll need it (though that’s certainly a bonus) – it’s more about if they won’t buy it for themselves.

One great idea in particular (especially if you don’t know him well enough to get him a full-on gift) is the Carry On Cocktail Kit. It comes jam-packed with everything you need to whip up a pair of Moscow mules, including a recipe card, bar spoon, 1/2 oz. jigger, ginger syrup, and a linen coaster to class up the whole ordeal. Just add in-flight vodka, club soda, and a slice of lime.
