2021 Guy Gift Guide

Guys are not all the same, but what we find “shiny” is fairly common. Below are some things I really like that I think most men would see as great gifts. First a few websites with good items, then some things you can get from Amazon.

Websites

Mentionables – Handmade, classy lingerie – The lingerie here is amazing, from both a male and a female perspective. A wide range of sizes and a great price for quality items. No models or nudity.

Honoring Intimates – No nudity lingerie – Another great safe resource for sexy underthings.

TMB Etsy shop with romantic and sexy items – Get a mug or a T-shirt that proclaims your love or flirts.

Married Dance – no porn sex toy site – Get him a gift that keeps giving!

Cool Guy Items

Needle Nose Pliers Multitool 

The other day my son, our neighbour, and I all reached into our pocket and pulled out this exact same multitool. It’s a sturdy mid-price option that puts a whole lot of tools in your pocket or glove box. The fact that we all looked at all the choices on Amazon and bought the same one suggests it should please most men.

Rechargeable Magnetic Flashlights

I’ve never met a guy who doesn’t love a great flashlight. I mean it’s the ultimate shine thing!

These LED lights are extra useful because the magnet allows you to stick it up, freeing a hand. It does narrow beam or floodlight. I bought lights like these for several friends a few years ago and they are still going and still being used regularly. This light can also be zoomed, making it even handier! 

Rechargeable LED Headlamp

A great light for crawling around under a house or working on pretty much anything in the dark. Both hands are free, and you have light where you look. This is not the first flashlight I usually go for, but when I use it I’m really glad I have it.

Of course, you have to hide this from children and grandchildren because they love it. Or give them one of their own, as it’s a two-pack.

1 Terabyte Flash Drive

The price of flash drives has dropped almost as fast as their capacity has increased. If your hubby is at all geeky, he probably has a number of smaller drives. Get him one that can replace all the rest!

This stylish drive can be put on a keychain and is waterproof, so he can keep it in his pocket all the time.

 

Great Stuff Pro Foam Dispensing Gun

If your husband uses a lot of this product, he will love this. My son, who does construction for a living, turned me on to Great Stuff Pro. The applicator shuts off at the tip, so no oozing when you release the trigger, and if you wipe the tip you can store the rest of the can. I used one can eight or nine times over 10 days with no problem. (A can should be used in 30 days). It also has a flow control valve so you can get exactly the bead you want. I always make a mess of myself when I use spray foam, but not with this! The kit shown here included cleaner, which you need when you store it without a can. If you use foam regular this will save you money long term, as the cans are bigger and less per unit, and no more tossing half-used and plugged cans.

Foam sold separately, and avalaibe at Home Depot  

Mesh Saftey Goggles

Great for a number of activities where regular goggles don’t work because they fog up. Lori and I both use them for weedeating. Also great when running a chain saw. Not acceptable all the time, but so much better when they do the job. And safety gear you will use is better than anything you won’t!

Cut Gloves 

These cut-resistant gloves can protect your hands in the kitchen, but they are also great for woodworking, carving, carpentry, oyster shucking, and butchering that buck he just shot.

Ohropax Wax Ear Plugs 

These wax earplugs stay in place and really cut noise. Great for power tools, shooting, or that men’s retreat where the guys who snore always fall asleep first!

Aeropress Coffee Maker

The only way to make great coffee (IMHO)! Makes one or two cups of very smooth coffee. A short soak time reduces bitterness. Travels well, as you only need to add hot water. A must-have for any coffee connoisseur.

And upgrade with a Prismo Attachment – a no-drip attachment with a reusable metal filter that lets you pull a shot.

Madalyn’s Backyard Pecan Flavored Whole Bean Coffee

We really like pecan coffee – with bits of pecans roasted with coffee beans, and we were excited when the best brand (in our opinion) showed up on Amazon. And it even qualifies for Subscribe & Save.

Looking for a great light brewed cup of coffee that smells great and tastes just as good? Give this a try!

Splendor Board Game

My favourite game these days. A great game for two, three, or four players. Easy to learn, but with a lot of strategy. Works well for two people.
