I honestly love creating wishlists and finding items for those hard-to-shop-for friends and family- so I introduce to you…my 2019 Men’s Holiday Wishlist!
Many of these items are proven winners in our household- things for real men that are useful. Prices range from $10 and up, so there are plenty of stocking stuffers and splurges. I hope you find something on this list that fits the guys you are shopping for!
Hardside Spinner Luggage These are our favorites for travel. Expandable!
Magcap Bottle Opener Perfect for the garage- magnetic to catch bottle caps!
Carhartt Beanie A favorite around here.
Leather Sunglasses Strap A definite upgrade from the nylon ones.
JBL Portable Waterproof Wireless Speaker We love this thing and have put it to the test. Great sound and tough!
Amazon Echo Show A perfect alarm clock or desk clock- plus the power of Alexa!
UGG Slippers These are on Shawn’s list this year. Lots of colors.
Crosley Turntable Did you know that this year vinyl record sales surpassed CDs? Love the vintage look of this one.
KeySmart Pro An update to the all-in-one tool- this one has a light and a tracker in case you lose your keys!
Nike Killshot Sneakers Casual but cool for everyday.
Lifecard Lightning External Battery This card-sized battery fits in your wallet and can recharge your phone!
Bombas Socks The best ankle socks that stay in place.
Yeti Coffee Mug Frequently stolen by me- I need to buy myself one of these this year!
Patagonia Zip Jacket Haven’t met a man who doesn’t love this pullover.

Instant Meat Thermometer I bought Shawn one of these a few years ago and we use it all the time!
Herschel Duffel Bag We love this brand and this is a sharp-looking bag with a separate shoe pocket.
Faux Shearling Denim Jacket Snagged one of these a few months ago and Shawn wears it constantly- a great every day, cold weather basic.
Joggers Because every man needs a good pair.
Duck Boots I bought these for Shawn last year and he was surprised at how much he loves them!
Bonavita Coffee Maker This is our go-to drip coffee maker. It’s lasted a long time and makes the best drip because of the way it filters the water evenly.
Neck Gaiter/Headbands These are a great stocking stuffer- Shawn uses them around his neck and over his mouth while mowing, and on his head to protect from the sun.
Corvino Leather Belt I’ll be buying this for Shawn this year- he’s needed a good belt for a while. :)
Air Zoom Pegasus Nikes These come in black as well, but I love the brown/gray combo.
Mike’s Hot Honey Another great stocking stuffer- we just discovered this stuff and it is delicious. Perfect gift for the guy who likes spice. Use it as a topping or marinade.
ESV Study Bible This version has become my favorite translation and this is a compact size which is super handy.
AeroPress Coffee Maker A great gift for the coffee lover in your life. Easily make “fancy coffee” on the go with this cool travel kit.
North Face Down Vest A great staple for any men’s wardrobe- this comes in several colors.
Phone-Friendly Gloves I like these because they aren’t too bulky but still provide protection from the wind- I’m thinking these would be great for those cold, windy football games.
Carhartt Thermal Socks If your man likes to ski, hunt, fish, etc. - they need these. I steal Shawn’s from time to time!
Teckin Smart Plugs We love using these with our Amazon Echo Show. They don’t require any additional software and work like a charm!
Pinch Brown Leather Sneakers Would be perfect for a casual work environment.
Nintendo Classic Edition is perfect for your vintage-loving gamers and comes with all the old games pre-loaded! I want this too!
LED Tactical Flashlights A great stocking stuffer- every man needs a good flashlight at some point.

PHOTOGRAPHYCommentI looove shopping online, and it's where I buy most of my camera gear. I've been scouting out deals for our Moms Who Snap group today and thought I'd share them here! Many of these items are listed in my wishlists. Happy shopping!
A few tips-
In general, a "bundle" or "kit" usually includes lenses or other accessories that are just ok. Don't get sucked in by the extra "value" they seem to add. The kit lenses that come with cameras are useful in some situations, but inevitably you'll be wanting to add other lenses later.
Buy used or refurbished! If you are eBay savvy, you can get a great deal on someone's Christmas present from last year that they never ended up using. :)
