Holiday gift guide 2019: men!

Today I am kicking off my holiday gift guides with the MOST requested gift guide of all! When I polled you all recently by far the biggest response was that you needed MORE ideas for the guys in your life!  I sat down with my husband and he dished ALL his personal favorites for you today! We had a really long list to begin with, so together we pared it down to 9 favorites.  He tends to be super picky and also to do a LOT of research on the things he buys - so if you have a picky guy in your life too - then know that all of these have been personally vetted by my husband! And I can tell you from living with him that he actually uses and loves all these products.

Let's dig into the gifts for men...
top row, from left:
counterman travel set (under $50!) - Andrew says: I love these products, but the Daily Cleanser and the Lotion are the two I use the most. This is a great way to sample all the products though.

tumi backpack (on sale!) - Andrew says: As someone that travels almost weekly I realized having good luggage was key. This has been my carry on bag for over a year and it has so many pockets and a surprising amount of storage making chargers, wallet, etc easy to access. Try to find it on sale if you can!

sneakers (under $100) - Andrew says: Jill first introduced me to "fashion sneakers" and while it looks like my favorite pair has been discontinued, this pair is similar and looks great with jeans and tees.

middle row, from left:
Powerbeats pro earphones - Andrew says: I've honestly tried almost every headphone there is out there - ask Jill! This is by far my favorite. They are a bit pricey, but worth it!

Montblanc cologne (under $100) - Andrew says: This isn't a super fancy fragrance brand but the fragrance specialist at Nordstrom once had me do a blind smell and this one was by far the favorite of both Jill & I. It's unique and smells really great.

joggers (under $100) - Andrew says: This is my favorite workout brand of all of them (and trust me when I say I've tried ALLLLL of them) and these joggers are the best for Saturdays and after work. They are so good I purchased the women's version for Jill too.

bottom row, from left:
icebreaker jacket - Andrew says: If you are over all the outdoor apparel brands that your friends already own (you know the ones!) and want something with great performance but that looks great too, I highly recommend this jacket. And this brand! It looks sleek but is still warm.

yeti backpack - Andrew says: Jill and the kids got this for me for Father's Day last year and it's really great. Of course nothing keeps stuff cold like a YETI and this backpack version is really easy to carry  to the beach or park. We've used it a lot as a family.

madewell tees (under $50!) - Andrew says: On the weekends and in the summer you will most likely catch me in one of these tees. They are soft, fit great and seem a little dressier than a usual tee. I own about 5 of them.
