Oh hello Tuesday and welcome to the second holiday gift guide post of the season. Yesterday I shared my ideas for the hostess, homebody, and those who love decorating and on Instagram posted a handful of questions. I was surprised more people typed in an answer for “who is the hardest person to buy for?” rather than answer some of the polls but it proves just how tricky it is to buy gifts for guys! The answers of husband, father, brother, grandad, and boyfriend were some of the most common and I agree – presents for him are seriously the hardest – where to start?
I mentioned last year and I will say it again that I think it is equally as hard to buy presents for your live-in partner as it is for an Uncle or father-in-law you are not close with. However, after hours of online browsing and a few in-store visits I think there should be more than 25 good ideas below to get you started. (And the Hugo Boss backpack in the second collage? That is what I got Mark for his birthday in October!)

Holiday Gift Guide For Her

I like the scarf the best I think as it will go with almost any color jacket and would look very sharp with most sweaters if you just needed an extra layer.
Looks soft too, a biggie when next to the neck of my sweetie pie.
Sherry says
Just ordered those coasters for my husband. He is going to love them.
Great selections for guys who I find really hard to shop for when I feel like they already have everything that they need.
Linda says
My boyfirend is sooo preppy that sometimes it kills me. Hard to find gifts that aren’t super standard when my range is so narrow.
Like this watch and it has just enough edge to not be too boring. Love doing early Christmas shopping, it take so much pressure off.
Ari says
Love, love, love the blue sport coat…fabulous color and what a reasonable price.
My boyfriend has gotten so lacks about dressing up for our date nights that I think I am going to buy this right now and give it to him early so he can wear it asap.
