It can be difficult finding the right gifts for the men in your life, and I know it is easier to find gifts for my mother than for my dad and boyfriend. I created this guide with the popular entertainment, clothing, and personal care gifts to help you out with your Christmas shopping.
Entertainment
I want to thank Michel from Raistlin0903 for helping out with the entertainment section! Be sure to check out his blog for reviews of movies, tv series, books, and board games!

Sweaters



When I think of Christmas clothing, I automatically think of sweaters and who would not want a sweater? Especially when it is cold outside, it is nice to stay warm with a festive sweater. You can check out some sweaters here:

Slippers


To go along with the pajamas, what is more perfect than some cozy slippers. You can check out these sites:
Gloves

Pretty much every man uses a wallet, which makes this is great option for a gift. There are different types of wallets like a card holder, bifold, trifold or money clip (I know my boyfriend prefers a card holder while my dad likes a bifold wallet). You can look at these websites for wallets:
Watches


My boyfriend occasionally wears a necklace, but he often wears a watch, which makes this a perfect gift. Watches can be really expensive, but there are good quality affordable watches too. I recommend these websites:

I agree! Whenever I asked my boyfriend what he wanted he just kept telling me I don’t know, but I knew he has been looking at the Wii U game so I bought him that & some nice winter socks & this man box that has skin care products, cologne & a powerbank.
