Ask and you show receive! After posting my 20 under $20 gift guide for her, I got a lot of requests to make one for all of the guys in your life. Here is my round up for hubby/boyfriend, dad, brother, father in law, and son. Christmas is in just 10 days, so enjoy and happy shopping!
For “Him”
Why are our significant others so hard to shop for?? Jay and I are married, which means his money is my money, and spending a lot on a gift for him doesn’t have the same effect as it did when I had my own money. Plus he already has all of the little basic things I could get him. Here are a few gifts that tell him I care without hurting our joint bank account.
Retro Sunglasses in Gunmetal & Matte Black
These Ray Ban look alikes look good on any face shape. They are a little trendier than your classic wayfarer, but the matte black color won’t scare away your man who might have a hard time getting out of his comfort zone. These bad boys are $19.
Personalized Leather Card Holder with J Initial
Does your man carry his wallet in his back pocket? I bet he does. Did you know that that’s terrible for his back? Odds are his wallet has a ton of used gift cards/expired credit cards/etc. This little $16 personalized card holder is perfect to hold a few credit cards and his ID. Plus, in Covid times a lot of places have stopped taking cash, so there’s really no point in carrying it around anyway.
Half-Zip Sweater
I love love love this sweater. The color is everything. It’s a great way to enhance your guys wardrobe while also getting something that he’ll still wear. Plus it’s only $17.99.

Clemson BBQ Spatula
Jay is a die hard Clemson football fan, so if it’s anything related to the Tigers, he’ll love it. Plus grill stuff is always a good idea. These BBQ spatulas are just $20.
For Dad
Don’t you dare get your dad another tie this year. Don’t you do it. He has enough.
Gloves
Despite the extremely simple name, these are so much more than just “gloves.” I love the deep brown color of the faux suede here. So handsome and just $17.99.

Men’s Plaid Flannel Shirt
I love a classic flannel. This one comes in 11 different prints, so you’ll be sure to find one your dad doesn’t already have. The best part is that it’s only $19.99.
Wrinkle Effect Structured Shirt
If you’re not into a flannel, this shirt is the perfect combo of casual, but also put together. It comes in 3 colors and is only $19.99.

Front Pocket Joggers
I’m pretty sure my dad’s “relaxing” attire is just whatever he is already wearing. He could definitely up his loungewear game. These $19.97 joggers would allow him to do just that.

For Brother
I like shopping for my brother, because as big sis I know he already appreciates my fashion input. Plus he’s typically just grateful I’m getting him anything at all!
Bufflo Plaid Flannel Shirt
Once again, you can’t go wrong with a classic flannel. This $19.97 one is a little different from the one on dad’s list, though. The buffalo check adds a more trendy element to it.
Murdock London Face Wash
Is your brother still in the land of CVS brand face wash? Maybe it’s time to introduce him to the world of better skincare. He probably already wants to be in that world but doesn’t know where to start. This face wash is just $16.80.
Hopsulator Slim Can Cooler
Who doesn’t love a cooler cup? This one is only $19.99 and comes in 6 colors, but I personally like the matte black for bro.
Blue Crab Ornament
Do you and your brother typically do small gifts? I’ve got you covered. This little guy is everything an ornament should be: fun, quirky, and just manly enough for your brother’s tree (and just $8).
For Father in Law
Probably the hardest person to shop for, right? I typically leave this one (and my brother in law) up to Jay, because let’s be real. He knows what they’ll like better than I do. Just in case you find yourself doing the shopping for this guy this year, I have found a few worthy gifts.
Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge
This genius $17 invention was designed to slow down melting ice in your father in law’s favorite drink. He will surely be impress when he opens this gift, and you will definitely get cool daughter in law points.
Long-Sleeve Cotton-Blend Henley
This shirt (originally $42) is just $19.99. It’s perfect for the casual father in law who still likes to looks stylish.
Single Web Cotton Belt
When in doubt, Nike. You really can’t go wrong with Nike products. This $14.99 is casual, but the color allows for it to be dressed up, as well.
Festive Mini Chocolate Bars
Maybe you don’t feel the need to go all out on your father in laws gift. If that’s the case, this is the gift for you. After all, who doesn’t love chocolate? This set of gourmet mini chocolate bars is just $14.
For Son
Full transparency: I’m still pregnant with my first son, but I am going to still list a few sweet baby boy gifts below. I won’t be going all out on Christmas for him this year, because he will most likely just be a couple of days old (if he has even been born at all yet – his due date is Christmas day!).
Ribbed Cotton Set
I always use Christmas as an excuse to stock up on my kids’ winter wardrobe. I love this sweet set. It’s casual and cozy, but a little more put together for leaving the house (if we ever do that). It’s just $14.99.

Fabulous Felt – Jungle
This is a great gift for your little toddler. It’s a sweet way to get to learn the animals. Unlike stickers, this you can use this $20 felt set over and over again.

Love Is Walking Hand In Hand Book
Whenever anyone asks what to get my kids, books are always on the list. Unlike stuffed animals, I truly believe you can never have too many. Plus, they are great for kids of all ages. This sweet $9.99 Peanuts book teaches kids about the meaning of love.
Plantoys Mini Camera
This precious $6 wooden camera is actually a kaleidoscope! How cute is that? And unlike all of the super obnoxious rainbow colored toys out there, this one is very aesthetically pleasing.
I hope that this gift guide was helpful for anyone who might be stuck out there! If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment!
