Gift guide for the guys

The men in my life are typically the hardest people to shop for, and while I received some input from Sean and a few of his absolute favorite things are on this list, such as the plaid shirt and the bathrobe, I also felt like I needed to add a few things that I might get for a guy just because.

For a Seinfeld fan, I was delighting in the idea of the astronaut pen, for a coffee aficionado, the gleaming-yet-rugged french press (also in stainless) seemed perfect. And for a quirky gift with a ton of possibilities, check out the Man Crate. Boxes filled with goodies for every possible interest from the beer lover to the zombie apocalypse, all the wooden crates come with a crowbar required to open them!

  1. When it comes to shopping for the men in my life, I'm quite lucky - they all love to read, so a good book makes the perfect present year after year. Ian is a bit harder to buy for, though, because a book is simply not enough. Pyjamas are always a great go-to gift but I have to admit that the slippers in this selection have me thinking I might deviate from my usual pyjama gift and give him a pair of those, instead!
