Is it just me or are guys hard to shop for? I always struggle to find the best gift for guys, and so I have started keeping tabs year-round for ideas. It helps! I love that all of these gifts have a sustainable or vegan component. Most will certainly also work for the women on your list too (and even some kids).
And like we recommend on our gifts for her list, there are lots of DIY options and charities to support in honor of your giftees.
For guys, I really like making some clean body care products. While the industry is starting to cater to men with high-quality skin and body care products, they can still be difficult to find.
Try a few of these.
- DIY shaving cream or a DIY beard oil.
- Dads love brownies. It’s true. Make up a batch of vegan brownies. We have a great recipe in the Kind Diet for Coffee Fudge Brownies that dads go crazy for. Pack them into a nice tin for a really thoughtful, yummy gift.
- Did you ever make paperweights in school as a kid? Decorate a rock, a piece of driftwood, or upcycle a box or bottle.
- A subscription to an audiobook app or Spotify.
- For guys with a green thumb, seed starters or mushroom growing kits are super fun too.
- Be sure to also check out our list of nonprofits. A donation made in honor of the guys on your list can be really nice for the guy who doesn’t ever seem to want or need anything.
