Super Cool Gifts for Men

When you’re a parent, your kids always come first.  That’s no different when the holidays roll around, so my husband is always the last person I shop for.  Every year, he tells me that there’s nothing he wants, so I aim to find things that are both practical and interesting, and he always appreciates my choices.  What will he have under the tree this year?  Super cool stuff!  Take a look:

Tall Order

Does the man in your life have large feet?  Mine does.  Finding shoes he likes is nearly impossible, and he’s usually stuck wearing white athletic socks.  And that’s if he can even find them in his size, otherwise, he ends up squeezing his feet into the “regular” size socks.  Poor guy.  We’re thankful that we discovered TallOrder.com, a family-owned and operated company that offers stylish socks for men with larger feet (shoe sizes 12-20).  These premium socks are made of high quality, durable fabric that’s machine-washable.  They’re breathable for extra comfort, and as I mentioned, they’re stylish.  Several bold patterns and colors are offered, making them perfect for any occasion you want your feet to look good, from a business meeting to a night on the town.  With TallOrder.com, men no longer have to settle for unattractive, ill-fitting socks.  To top it off, Tall Order donates 10% of their profits to Tuesday’s Children.  We approve.

DirtyBird Energy Soaps

You’ve heard of energy drinks, but have you heard of energy soap?  It’s the perfect way to start your day with a natural boost–and without the unhealthy ingredients found in most energy drinks.  The goal of DirtyBird Energy Soaps is to improve productivity for active, busy lifestyles and to do it with all natural ingredients.  The combination of peppermint oil and caffeine in their ENERGY bar is absorbed through pores and hair follicles to energize your skin and body.  RECOVER, also with caffeine, gently exfoliates to allow optimal absorption of arnica, eucalyptus, and rosemary extracts to encourage faster healing of bumps, bruises, an inflammation.  Feeling like it’s a decaf kind of day?  No worries.  Try the caffeine-free REPLENISH bar to restore moisture to your skin with natural cocoa and shea butters.  Or use RELAX soap before bed at night, and let the lavender, chamomile, rosemary, and ylang ylang essential oils help you drift off into a restful sleep so you’re ready for whatever the next day has in store for you.  Each bar comes in a reusable container that makes it easy to take your soap anywhere with you, whether it’s a trip to the gym or on a vacation.  DirtyBird soaps are available in singles, 2 packs, 6 packs, or you can subscribe and save with a membership that will ship soaps of your choice as frequently as you’d like.

G-SHOCK GA835A-1A Watch

G-SHOCK watches from Casio are well-known for being the “watch that never breaks”.  Each G-SHOCK encompasses 7 key elements: electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance, and toughness.  All that and they look good too!  Casio will celebrate the 35th anniversary of its G-SHOCK brand in April 2018, and their launching special anniversary collections to celebrate.  This model is part of the Neo Matte Black collection, which features a matte finish that was achieved using technology that incorporates particles into the paint, creating a flat black finish that seems to absorb all light.  The case backs of these models are engraved with the G-SHOCK 35th anniversary logo designed by Eric Haze, a world famous graphic artist, while the metal band loops are emblazoned with a star emblem that represents 35 years. The phrase, “SINCE 1983” is featured on the dials, and special packaging has also been created to further enhance this very exceptional collection.

Kamik Boots

Winter is just around the corner, and good boots are essential for keeping those tootsies warm and dry during slushy, snowy weather.  We’re big fans of the Kamik brand because of their commitment to quality, functionality, and sustainability.  Many of the boots in their men’s winter collection offer waterproof construction and Thinsulate insulation in styles that are suitable for any situation.  Choose one of their more rugged styles that are perfect for outdoor activities or try a fashion-forward boot that’s stylish enough for the city yet still offers protection from the elements.  If stylish, warm, and comfortable sounds good to you, definitely take a look at Kamik.  I’m happy to add that 73% of their products are made in North America; that’s not easy to find in a shoe these days.
