2016 Holiday Gift Guide for Men

canstockphoto31354850

Before I present this year’s gift guide for men, I want to say a quick thank-you to all of you who helped make our 5th annual DW holiday book drive such a big success. Over 250 books were purchased for low-income kids around the country! The drive went so well that I organized a bonus round, wherein I invited participating teachers to update their registries with items they need to improve the quality of their classrooms and teaching. Please consider contributing to this drive and showing your support and solidarity to these hard-working teachers of high-needs kids this holiday season. Thank you so much for your generosity!! And now, some of my favorite gifts for men in 2016:

    Ooh, my husband would love the gloves and undies! I bet my dad would rock the feminist shirt.

    Speaking of men’s underwear, my husband loves Tommy John. We got a pair for my dad who lives abroad last Christmas, and he promptly requested we send him a couple more. hahaha https://www.tommyjohn.com/

    Great picks ALL. But that Whiskey Wedge Glass is especially intriguing! Never seen anything quite like that before…

    I take it the SONOS has pretty KILLER sound, eh?

    I’m getting my FWB a fancy pocket square. He’s all about pocket squares, top hats, cuff links, etc.
