Shopping around the holidays can be kind of rough. Especially when you list of people to buy for seems a mile long. While I am a pro at finding gifts my kids will love, I sometimes lack the gifting excellence for my main man. I don’t know what it is about getting him gifts that baffles me. Nothing sticks out from the pack as being THE gift I must purchase, but it could be because he doesn’t really give any hints. That man is like Fort Knox when it comes to figuring out what gift he’d like. Should it be this hard, no. ha! In the effort to actually give him THE best gift in the world this year, I took him to one of his favorite stores of all times…Best Buy.
That man was like a kid in a candy shop as he “played” with the latest and greatest electronics out right now. I don’t know what it is about men (or maybe just my husband), but they need to tinker with something before they decide if the want it. So there I’ll stand, gazing at this spectacle-much like the featured exhibit at the zoo. Watching him twist, turn, use, and figure out the electronic until he agrees THIS is the one he wants. Yes, I guess it’s like women and trying on clothes. That blouse may look good on the hanger, but when you try it on, honey there is a list longer than a 10ft pole of things that could go wrong, ha! Does it make me look fat, where will I wear it, if I turn this way will it look like this, or what about that. Men-they are a wonder. If you are stuck blessed with a hard to shop for man person, then I’ve got JUST the list for you! It comes straight from the horse’s mouth and boast some of the greatest gifts this season! Here is my 5 gift ideas for the man in your life…coming from a man!
1. Keurig – We LOVE our coffee around these parts. And Sam is no exception. Nothing tops having a variety of coffees at your finger tips in nice and easy single servings. “Quickly brew coffee, tea, brew-over-ice beverages or hot cocoa with this Keurig B60/K65 single-serve brewer that features 6-, 8- and 10-oz. serving sizes, making it easy to prepare a cup of your favorite beverage.”
2. Jawbone Up – Keeping track of your habits/fitness is one of the key things to changing your lifestyle and becoming a healthier person. WHo knew it could look so discrete and fashionable?! “Monitor your fitness and sleep goals with this Jawbone UP24 JL01-16M-US wristband, which tracks steps taken, distance traveled, hours slept and more. The 32 mAh lithium-polymer battery extends up to 7 days of use on a full charge.”
3. Apple TV – This baby allows you to watch all the shows you want, just by having it hook up to the internet. All you do is live stream it on your television! “Get access to a world of instant entertainment with this product. Just connect to the Internet and stream movies, listen to music, and access a wide variety of other content. Watch high-resolution movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store; view videos and photos from the Internet and your Mac or PC in crisp 1080p”
4. Nikon 3200 DSLR – We have needed a GOOD new DSLR camera for a long time. It almost seems like we’re bad parents because we photograph our children with an old, not so good camera, ha! This one is definitely on the list to get! “Captures high-resolution images up to 6016 x 4000 pixels. The EXPEED 3 image processor provides super-fast operation and exceptional image capture.”
5. iPad Mini – With the ability to search the internet, use many of the amazing apps out there, and even get some work done, this Apple product is fantastic. Plus, who doesn’t love how compact it is, perfect for taking on the go! “The iPad® mini has a stunning 7.9-inch Retina display with over 3.1 million pixels. It also comes with the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, ultrafast wireless, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.1 Yet it still fits easily in one hand.”

You are so right, guys do seem to like to play around with items before they buy them! Great idea bringing his to the store with you. #client
My man is really easy to shop for! He LOVES books (and doesn’t mind if I get them used!) and clothes. He is really wanting a tablet or Kindle Fire, but those will have to be a birthday present since I already got him his Christmas gifts this year! {Visiting your blog via Pinterest!}
Well glad you stopped by (and hope you come back)! My husband LOVES books too…its that and electronics, ha!
