Bluebonnets + Blue Bell: Gifting Guide: Let's Hear It For The Boys

I am mildly obsessed with finding THE perfect gift. Starting around Halloween I feel this internal itch to start bookmarking pages or scouring Etsy for awesome finds, or this year, to pin good gifts like crazy! So here's my version of a holiday gift guide - just a normal girl, online shopping while working, trying to find free shipping. My goal this year is to be completely finished shopping (probably not wrapping!) by December 17 - when we'll celebrate with my dad and his family.

So for the first edition of my gift guide... gifts for BOYS!

I have several different men I buy for: Sawyer - age 1.5; Tyler, my brother - age 13; Alexander, my step-brother - age 16; Jeremy - age 30-something; Josh, my brother-in-law - age 30-something; my father-in-law and my dad; and PeePaw, Jeremy's grandpa (actually his cousins' grandpa but he's ours too!). I'll do a separate post on good gifts for little ones, and I'll just be excluding the teenagers also since all they want are gift cards and money (am I right, or am I right?).

Here we go...

I think Etsy is a great place to search for personalized or meaningful gifts - here are a few I'd consider for my Texas, Star Wars, beard-loving husband:

Pottery Barn Collegiate, MLB and NFL Glassware (upward from $20)
For guys who might love their sports teams more than you - just on game days!
(And no UT ones, Longhorn fans - thank Texas' strict logo usage for that one!)

Pottery Barn Leather Catch-All ($30)
This is great for the men who seem to lose their keys, phone and wallet all over the house.

Whiskey Stones ($20)
The nifty little stones won't water down your favorite guy's favorite drink.

itap iPhone Gloves ($20)
These gloves still work on the touchscreen of iPhones, iPads or iPods, though many different varieties are available.

Pinhole Press Hanging Wall Calendar ($30)
The benefit to having a child? Grandparents love getting pictures as gifts! I have ordered and received one and I love it so much. Great quality and great price, and it's fun to customize with your own pictures.

Friday Night Lights: The Complete Series DVDs ($75)
I suppose any good Southern, football-loving gent should see this show! (And bonus: I want to watch it also!)
