The Boy can be THE MOST difficult person to buy a gift for. He’s not fussy. Nor is he picky. And he rarely says, “I need that.” On the rare occasion he does utter those words, he just buys it. Sooooo frustrating. I’ve always bought him a cookbook for Christmas (that’s kind of our thing), and a good standby is a bottle of cologne (booooring). He’s a sweatshirt and jeans kinda guy. No wool sweaters, no fancy ties. As the holidays draw nearer, my anxiety for gift ideas gets greater and greater.
Hopefully, I’ve found the cure to that anxiety because today, I’ve teamed up with Owen & Fred to bring you some awesome gift ideas for guys! Boyfriends, husbands, brothers, fathers, and BFFs will rejoice this holiday season!
Owen & Fred has been kind enough to give away one of their shaving kits (closed), a set of paisley black leather coasters, and a brass bottle opener to one of my lucky readers (that’s you!). YEAH! So don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of this post to enter for a chance to win. (I’m also giving you additional chances to enter because this is a really good one, so get at it!)

As many of you know, The Boy travels…a lot. Whether it’s for work, a weekend hunting getaway, fancy vacations, or just a weekend in Wisconsin with my family, he’s always got a bag packed. Well, this shwanky shaving kit bag is just the ticket to brighten up anyone’s morning. I mean, who can resist smiling after reading this? I like to say it in a funny little voice, “Heeeeey, Handsommmmmme!” I’m also loving the little arrow detailing in the design. The Boy likes it because it’s simple on the outside. No frills, yet it’s not that plain old black bag that every dude owns.
The brass bottle opener really caught my eye. Besides being brass (my favorite, wait, this post is about gifts for guys, not me…I’m such a lost cause), it fits in your hand quite nicely, and the message on the side makes The Boy smile. “YOU EARNED IT” Every single time he opens a beer, he looks and me and says, “You bet I did.” He was kinda surprised when he picked it up for the first time. It’s a hefty half-pound of brass, and it’s all boy.
I’m so digging on these coasters. Most of the time, they look all girly or have ornate, intricate patterns. These are simple yet sophisticated, and I think the paisley pattern on the leather gives them a nice manly look. Also, they are water-resistant to boot! So, no more messing up our pretty coffee tables.

The truth is, I think my guy would love everything from Owen & Fred, particularly the bags. And that bottle opener? He’d go nuts over that thing! He’s super into heavy, well-made stuff, and he’s turned me toward that but it’s so incredibly hard to find that sort of thing for women.

Oh my gosh! This is seriously the best giveaway ever! So creative.. like usually all I see is kitchen supplies and money giveaways.. I would not complain if I won money. But in my opinion, this trumps the unoriginal giveaways hands down! Would love to win this for my brother.. and yes, he is a college hipster lol I think he would most enjoy the beer opener because he just turned 21 last week!
