Guys are always hard to shop for so I tried to find some ideas that guys would love to play with as well as items they’d really use.
My Top Pick
Grill Charms – $19.95
Grill Charms offer an entirely new concept in outdoor entertaining. These are dime-sized solid stainless steel charms that are placed in food before grilling. The serrated stem holds the charm in securely while flipping, moving and grilling food. Grill Charm your food prior to cooking to distinguish spices and flavors, steak temperatures, or to avoid health or allergy issues. These can be purchased ONLINE or at select retailers.
Why I Picked This as My Top Pick: My husband loves to season his steak and I like mine plain. This is a great way for us to differentiate between meats. The serrated stem holds them securely in place and we had no trouble using them the other night. These would be perfect for the Grill Master on your list.
Five More Gift Ides
SanDisk Media Card
Built for speed on the most popular, compatible card format for digital cameras, SanDisk Ultra SDHC cards feature fast read and write speeds to make shooting and offloading images a breeze. They’re also the ideal choice for capturing and playing HD video, and perfect for use in most digital picture frames. With capacities up to 32GB, there’s plenty of room for 1,000’s of photos or hours of video. Available at retailers like Target and Best Buy
Why I Like This Product: You can never have too many media cards. We love having multiple because one goes in the digital photo frame. Since I don’t want to grab the camera and forget the card is in the frame, it’s nice to have two. Then I just periodically move the images from one card to another. Plus they are really affordable. You can find them very inexpensively this time of year.
Drop Stop – $19.95
Drop Stop is a barrier that you insert between your car seat and the console. It eliminates personal articles slipping through a vehicle’s seat and center console gap. Available ONLINE. Plus use code SWS20 to get 20% off your purchase.
Why I Like This Product: My husband put this in his truck and loves it. It keeps things from falling between the cracks and he doesn’t have to dig around looking for things anymore. For anyone that spends a lot of time on the road, this would be great.
Herculittles – $7.99
Herculittles are the “tiny little magnets with the Herculean hold”, but don’t let their small size fool you. Each can hold between 8-10 sheets of paper! No more invitations, photos or artwork falling down from those wimpy, gaudy magnets. The clean, simple, chrome design won’t detract from what is being posted. Available ONLINE.
Why I Like This Product: Because they’re fun to play with and they really work. I put them to the test with a bunch of paper and they stayed put. One of the best aspects is that they don’t distract from the item they’re holding up. That’s why I thought they’d be great for guys. They fun to play with and they’re a great alternative to all the girly magnets out there.
Cremo Cream – $7.99
Unlike other shaving products, this is not a foam. It’s an extremely rich cream. Cremo Cream dramatically reduces cuts, nicks, scrapes and razor irritation. It gives you the closest, most comfortable, longest lasting shave and leaves your skin astonishingly soft and smooth. Available online through Amazon and instore at Bartell Drug and Wegmans.
Why I Like This Product: My husband has very sensitive skin and shaving always tears him up. This cream did wonders and drastically reduced the razor irritation he normally suffers. Plus, he liked the scent. It’s very light, not overpowering like many of the new products available.
Energizer Rechargeable Batteries – $14.99
This makes batteries more economical and easy to use. They feature a compact design and charges 2 or 4 AA or AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries. There’s an easy-to-read charge status indicator as well as a fold-out plug for easy storage. The actual batteries last up to 4X longer in digital cameras so they’re perfect for high drain devices. You can get them at retailers like Target, Walmart and Best Buy.
Why I Like This Product: It seems everything is battery operated these days and batteries are very expensive. Rechargeable batteries allow you to keep using the same batteries again and again. Plus, since they are chargeable, they can be loaded with more power allowing your devices to run longer.
