For all the men in your life, you shouldn’t have to break the bank! Hopefully you find this guide helpful in any way–even if it generates more ideas for you. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week ahead!

Aveda Shampoo for Men // $21-$49 Aveda is the place where I get my haircut, nails done, and have massages. I also use their shampoo and conditioner, so I trust what natural ingredients they use and have seen proven results on my own damaged hair! I would consider buying this as a gift for someone who may not splurge on hair care. Maybe throw in a nice brush and hair gel, too. 

Polo Ralph Lauren Merino Wool and Cashmere Beanie // SALE: $36 Beanies are awesome for the colder months to keep you warm. This one comes in four different colors, and is from Polo Ralph Lauren. Instead of having a ridiculous looking poof at the top, it has a very understated one. This beanie would make the perfect cozy gift for someone who lives up north! 

Kiehl’s Must-Haves Gift Set for Men // $39 An incredible beauty brand is Kiehl’s and this gift set is packed with products to make any guy thankful and really to take care of his skin. It comes with a shaving cream, moisturizer, energizing scrub, face wash, and a bar of soap. This brand is award winning for skin care and I personally love this serum that has really helped smooth out my skin! Definitely consider this gift set because you get all of those products for under $40.00!

Art of Shaving After-Shave ($40) and Razor Stand ($15) // This hydrating and refreshing after-shave comes from a famous shaving company that knows their stuff. This after-shave cream also adds moisture and a matte finish to the skin. The lavender scent is a great choice! Picking up a razor stand is also a neat idea for a guy in your life. This one is $15.00 and is designed to keep your blades dry. 

Polo Ralph Lauren Pebbled Leather Phone and Wallet Case // EXTRA 20% off using code: EXTRA, $30 What better way to have your money and your phone in one place! This is the male version of a phone case/wallet. It has sophistication with its pebbled leather and will protect your phone from drops and falls. It is on sale for under $30, too!

Fossil Wallet // $35 Right now Macy’s is offering FREE shipping when you spend a minimum of $25, so this item can be shipped for free! This wallet also comes in different shades of black, brown, and beige, so you have a variety to choose from. It can hold up to 9 credit cards and has a 5 star rating online.  

Clinique for Men Charcoal Face Wash // $20 I use charcoal in a lot of my own beauty regime, such as in this face sponge and this face mask, so why not pass on the greatness to a guy in your life! Cliniuqe is a brand I’ve loved for years and this face wash has nice ingredients to help detoxify your skin and help unclog dirty pores. It is best for all skin types, too! So that leaves out guess work on what kind of skin type the man may have. At $20.00, it is also sold at an affordable price point.

The Original Whiskey Ball Ice Molds & Old-Fashioned Glasses // $25 This is a whiskey enthusiast’s necessity–spherical ice that slowly melt to keep your drink cold. This set is all dishwasher-safe and great for dinner parties. It is also only $25.00 from Nordstrom. This a gift that can be used over and over again!
