Anel’s favorite joggers, hands down. They’re always my go-to guy gift. They’re my number one gift for men 3 years running!
Anel made me promise to add these to my guide. He loves them for the garden and anything outdoors. When I posted them on IG, a ton of other said their husbands love them! Originally a fishing brand, they’re non slip too.
Anel has become obsessed with Marine Layer’s super soft button downs. I bought one for my BIL for Christmas already.
Amalia got these last year in her stocking and we still use them every night in the bathtub. Like a rubber ducky, they make bath time so much fun!
We just got a Tonies box as a gift and Amalia LOVES it so much. It plays music and tells stories and is a great alternative to screen time. You can get different “Tonies” based on what your kid like.

I love the color and design of this gorgeous cookbook holder that could work for actual books or recipes on your tablet.
I’m buying this for Anel this year (no chance he reads this, don’t worry!) because his current alarm is so startling. We’ve only heard great things about the Hatch. We use the kid version for both of our kiddos.
Anel bought me one of these for my back pain and I am totally addicted. I lay on it for 10 minutes every night. It helps my back, my sleep, and my stress!

It doesn’t get preppier than a Boat & Tote. We use them for beach bags, daycare bags, shopping bags, and everything else in our house. I love them for a gift and to use as gift bags.

Apple finally brought back the double-wrap Hermès watch band and it is the number one item on my personal wish list. It makes a not-so-cute accessory incredibly chic.
Someone gave me this as a gift a few years ago and I still love it! I refuse to burn it down because it’s too pretty.
I got this for Christmas last year and use it to organize my purse every single day. Such a cute gift for a girlfriend or coworker.
The perfect bag for a weekend getaway or day trip. I have it in navy and have been using it for years.
This would look so pretty on a bar cart or drink tray. Form and function combined and a great gift for a guy or gal.

I use this notepad daily love it! It has a section for to-do lists, each hour of the day, and even a gratitude list.

Like a mini facial in your house, this contraption fuses gua sha with collagen-stimulating red LED light. Definitely have this guy on my list!
These scrunchies take time out of drying your hair and would make the perfect stocking stuffer. After I wash, I pull my hair back in this scrunchie while I get dressed and do my face routine. My hair is half dry by the time I get to blow drying it!
A good basket for harvesting is a must. Anel likes the flat shape of this one and how much it can hold. I bought it for him last Christmas and he used it for every harvest!
Anel recommended this for beginner gardeners who want to start with a nice set of tools. The chair is nice for long hours in the garden too.
These are the best pruners around, hands down. They’re extra sharp, easy to use, and you can find them pretty much anywhere. Once you go Felco you’ll never go back.
I have this sweatshirt with Bootsie’s face on it and it brings me so much joy. A great and unique gift for any dog mama or papa.

Picking up dog poo is no fun task but you might as well make it cute?
Boots definitely has his own tote when we travel with him but this would be a major upgrade! It’s a great size for dog-sized items. And if you have a small pup, it has a cut out for their head when you need to tote them around.
