Gift Guide for Him

Every holiday, it’s the same struggle with my husband of 25 years: What is the best gift for him this Christmas??
I listen for clues throughout the year, trying to figure out what he wants but doesn’t want to tell me, and like a stealthy Santa Claus, I make a list in my head of what might make him happy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
I’ve bought him gift cards that sit in a drawer for years at a time, musical instruments that only accumulate dust, and even adult LEGO sets so he has his own toys to play with, but even those sit unboxed.
So what are the best gifts for him?
If you’re lost in a Christmas wonderland of not knowing what to buy the man in your life, look no further. And good luck, babe!
1. Is He A Music Lover?
- Are AirPods giving him a pain in the ears? Over-the-ear headphones have made a comeback for just that reason. Wireless, noise-canceling headphones, like these WYZE Noise Cancelling headphones are a great, inexpensive choice. Not only do they provide crystal-clear sound without distraction, they also come with a carrying case.
- Make him feel like a spy with a pair of smart sunglasses with built-in Bluetooth speakers. Your dude can listen to music, make phone calls, and look cool. It’s all possible!
