It is here at last! My gift guides for this Christmas season! Although gifts should not be the reason for the season, giving is. I have prepared various gift guides for various types of people and I hope that they help at least one of you with your Christmas shopping this year!
Let’s start with the Outdoorsy Man (or Young Man) Gift Guide. I myself have one of these as my boyfriend, so I had some help with this one. All of these suggestions are Ryder approved and trust me when I tell you, he researches everything endlessly before purchasing something!
Gift Guide: Outdoorsy Guy
-
Lacrosse Classic Boots – I still remember when my father bought me my first pair of Lacrosse boots. They are great for keeping your feet warm and dry on the wet and cold hikes. No outdoorsmen will ever be upset receiving a new pair! Odds are they have had the same pair for forever or they have never thought to buy them for themselves.
-
Lumix FZ300 – Collin, Ryder’s roommate has this camera and uses it primarily for filming and shooting their hunts. He said it is a great camera if you don’t want to have multiple lenses to lug around. It also has a quiet shutter so that you don’t scare off the wildlife.
-
Columbia Jacket – Any Columbia products are normally a great gift for an outdoorsman. The quality of the material is sure to be long-lasting and serve its purpose well if they take care of it.
-
Vortex Optics Binoculars – If you have an outdoorsman that is needing a pair of good binoculars, you can’t go wrong with Vortex. Surprisingly, most binoculars are fairly expensive (which I did not know until I made this guide) but Ryder says these are definitely a reasonable price for the quality, and well worth it!
-
Yeti Hopper – Yeti has been around long enough, that I will let their reputation for quality speak for them. This is one of my favorite coolers that they have. The Hopper model is functional for a long destination hike or even just a BBQ in the backyard.
-
LifeStraw – UNDER $30 GIFT ALERT! This device is SO cool! This is a water filtration system that fits into a water bottle that you already own. They have multiple styles to fit different needs, but the important part is you can stay hydrated ANYWHERE! Never worry about dehydrating again with this simple device!
-
Thermacell – Ryder claims that this simple invention saves him from mosquitos in the summertime. He usually goes and scouts the areas that he will hunt during the hot months. When he doesn’t use his Thermacell he gets eaten alive! Get your outdoorsman a Thermacell and some refills to prepare him for Spring and Summer, he will be forever grateful.
-
Tenzing Pack – Ryder says that a Tenzing pack is on the list of items he is buying when he has a grown-up job. Sounds great to me! It is great for hunters and avid outdoorsmen alike. It is made with good material and has multiple places to store snacks, tools, etc. for your outdoorsy needs.
-
The Meateater Game and Fish Cookbook – Ryder has been begging me for this cookbook since they announced the presale. Meateater is actually a Netflix Show, and they recently came out with a cookbook! If you have an outdoorsman that also enjoys cooking, this is the perfect gift.
-
Buck Knife – Every outdoorsman needs a good knife. This knife is reasonably priced and the quality is not bad! I always laugh at Christmas because if something needs to be opened, you have like 6 knives to choose from immediately. Basically, they are saying, “Pick my knife it cuts tape like butter.” I love my family and all of the outdoorsmen in it.
The Beauty Guru:
-
neuLash Eyelash Serum Okay guys this stuff is worth EVERY PENNY!! My lashes have grown so incredibly much since I started using this serum and I don’t feel the need to wear falsies all the time now!
-
Microneedling Generation Tool – I recently jumped on the bandwagon but this is a must add to your skincare routine. Use the tool before using your face products and this will allow the products to work into the deeper layers of your skin!
-
Super Sonic Hair Dryer – Brought to you by Dyson, this hair dryer is top of the line! My hairdresser uses this dryer and I swear that it cut the drying time in half!
-
Bright Eyes Set – UNDER $30 GIFT ALERT! This is a great gift for someone that is looking to pamper themselves. This kit has depuffing and cooling eyes gels and now comes with a cute sleep mask!
-
NuFace Mini Toning Device – This device is a natural, noninvasive, anti-aging solution perfect for travel or just for use at home. This toning device works to provide a 5-minute facial lift.
-
Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette – This is the latest and great eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay. All of their past palettes have been some of my favorites and this one is no different. It has so many warm hues that you could make so many different looks with!
-
Mario Badescu Facial Spray – One of my tips for keeping your skin moisturized in the winter time is by using this spray before your primer. I have been using this spray since early Spring of this year and I can tell such a difference in my skin!
-
Wanted Velvet Glide Lip Set – You can never go wrong with a lip set for Christmas. Nars always has great quality lip products and their new velvet line is to die for!
-
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray – If you are looking for one of the best setting sprays on the market, well I look no further! This spray is liquid gold. I love using this spray after applying my makeup to give it more of a finished look.
-
Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Brushes – If I could replace all of my makeup brushes with Morphe ones I would do it in a heartbeat. These brushes are longlasting and have a great feel against your face. Not too rough and not too soft!
-
Hydro Flask – Having a great water bottle is essential for any workout!
-
Fitbit Charge – I have decided that if you can’t record your steps on a device somewhere, it wasn’t worth doing all of the work. I don’t know how I worked out before these awesome devices! I absolutely love trying to hit my activity goals every day, it gives me a sense of accomplishment!
-
Bose Sound Sport Wireless Headphones – Messing with cords is so 2016. Now there are wireless Bluetooth headphones and they are the coolest thing! Working out just got 10x easier. These are Bose so you know the quality will be well worth the price!
-
High Waisted Leggings – These leggings are great for a workout, or just lounging at home!
-
Tech Running Gloves – These cozy touchscreen-friendly gloves have reflective details that enhance visibility in low light and at night, so you can stay safe and warm outside.
-
Nike Running Shoes – A good shoe is always essential for any fitness buff!
-
Dagne Dover 365 Large Landon Neoprene – I love neoprene because it is so easily cared for and it is a great material all around. You always need a gym bag when working out!
-
Running Hat – Most of the time that I run I want a hat to use with it! This hat is great but does run slightly small so you might size up!
-
Running Sunglasses – Running sunglasses are great for those windy and sunny days.
-
Ponytail Holders – For women, this is such a great stocking stuffer! If you put your hair in a ponytail often enough you know that having a good ponytail holder is priceless!
I will have more gift guides coming as we get closer to Christmas!
