what i'm getting my husband for christmas
(GIFTS HE'LL ACTUALLY LOVE + USE)
Every year, I swear my husband is the hardest person to shop for… I've learned that the easiest way to shop for him is the curate a list for him that includes products he already swears by and repurchases over and over, and the other half are new finds that I think he'd genuinely like to try.
So if you’re shopping for your partner, fiancé, husband, or honestly any man who loves good quality skincare, wellness products, gym essentials, and a few well-earned splurges...this list is full of things they’ll actually use! Everything is linked for your convenience, so just click on the image to purchase!
Let’s get into it. 🎄✨
If you're my husband....leave now lol
Grooming + Skincare
Nécessaire Rosemary Shampoo & Conditioner
This duo has become a staple in our house. The rosemary formula leaves his hair clean without stripping it, and the scent has that subtle spa feel he loves. These are always the first bottles to go empty in the shower. If you know Sam, he doesn't play about his mullet... lol
Nécessaire Body Wash in Santal
His holy grail body wash. This scent is warm, elevated, and clean. If your guy likes a body wash that smells expensive but not terribly loud, this is it.
Nécessaire Lip Balm
We have already discovered that we love Necessaire if you couldn't tell by now. So this will be a new product to try! Simple, hydrating, and very “guy-friendly.”
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser
Last year for christmas I introduced him to a little mini travel set of kiehl's products (I couldn't find the exact one to link) but this was 1:2 of his favorite products from the set!
So I'll be repurchasing so he can have the full sizes!
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
Lightweight, hydrating, and perfect for daily use. This is the one moisturizer he actually remembers to use without me reminding him.
The Jet Lag Essentials Hydration Set for Travel
I decided to add this to the list in case you want to try the set without the commitment or price tag! This is the exact set I got for his stocking last year that made him fall in love with the products!
Summer Friday's Jet Lag Eye Patches
He absolutely loves to use these when he is in deep need for a refresh/self care night!
Summer Friday's Jet Lag Mask
Deeply hydrating and soothing! He loves using this overnight when his skin feels dry or tight.
Summer Friday's Jet Lag Deep Hydration Serum
Instantly absorbs and gives his skin a boost when it’s feeling dull.
Summer Friday's Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist
He sprays this throughout the day as needed, especially after the gym or while working!
Summer Friday's Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum
Cooling, lightweight, and great for keeping his under-eyes hydrated without any greasy feel.
L’Occitane Cedrat After-Shave Gel
Lightweight, cooling, and smells incredible. Sam has not tried this one yet but we've smelled it in person!
Wellness, Supplements + Hydration Essentials
Pretty much all new things to try in this category!
FullWell Men’s Multivitamin
He’s been wanting to upgrade his daily vitamin, and FullWell kept popping up everywhere. High-quality ingredients, great reviews, and designed specifically for men’s health so I decided it was time to try it!
Ritual Men’s Multivitamin
Another multivitamin just in case he’s unsure about the other. Ritual is known for clean, traceable ingredients and their minty capsules which is the brand I use for my prenatal and love.
Grenade Pre-Workout in Cherry Bomb
For the days he's wanting something strong. And because if something comes in a cherry flavor, he pretty much already likes it!
Figured this would be an easy one to try!
Naked Nutrition Strawberry Lemonade Pre-Workout
A lighter, cleaner pre-workout for days when he doesn’t want something too intense. & a classic Strawberry lemonade flavor so I'm almost certain he will like it!
*Fingers crossed*
Naked Nutrition Naked Whey Protein - Vanilla
This is the cleanest protein we’ve found and only just a few ingredients with no junk.
Naked Nutrition Naked Whey Protein - Chocolate
& of course he will need it in chocolate too.
A man needs options...
Or at least, my man does lol
Naked Nutrition Naked Whey Protein - Strawberry
& let's be real...These all benefit me as well and I'm not as picky so I know I can risk it even though we haven't tried this one yet!
Rookie Wellness Hydration Support
A hydration option he hasn't tried yet! Watermelon Lime? How could we pass it up trying!
Quince Recovery Electrolytes
A recovery-focused electrolyte powder without artificial additives. Good for hydration, especially after the gym or long outdoor walks.
AG1 Daily Nutrition
This one is the only one he has already tried when I got a sample travel pack in the summer and he really liked it!
Easy to mix, smooth flavor, and a great daily boost for gut health and overall energy.
AG1 Sample Pack
This is so he can try a couple of flavors in case in the future he wants a different one!
Wardrobe Basics +
Everyday Essentials
Skims Lightweight T-Shirt
3-Pack
These tees feel buttery soft with a great drape. They’re basic in the best way! Elevated, comfy, and great for layering or wearing on their own. & These are an annual purchase! I usually get him a pack in white and a pack in black!
Skims Ribbed Tanks
3 Pack
The ideal everyday tank. Sleek, comfortable, and flattering without trying too hard. Same goes for these tanks, these are an annual purchase for christmas and I get him a pack in black and a pack in white!
Skims Men’s Boxer Briefs
5 PACK
Soft, breathable, and perfectly supportive. Although pricey, once he switched to these, he never looked back! They’re hands-down his favorite boxers! I usually purchase him 2 packs in black!
Nike Tall Socks
These are always a must and an annual Christmas purchase!
I usually get him a pack in white and a pack in black!
You can never go wrong with a pack of socks!
Nike Air Max Cirro Slides
Although, not this exact pair, this is the one thing he asked for!
He specifically would like to have a new pair of slides!
Luxe + Splurges
Although, let's be real...this entire list is a splurge!
Bleu De Chanel Parfum
His current favorite and signature scent!
Notes of Cedar and Sandalwood
Described on the website as:
"Powerful and refined, the Parfum for men reveals the essence of independence and determination. A timeless scent with a strong masculine signature."
Another one of his favorites is the Gucci Guilty Cologne!
Tom Ford Oud Wood Cologne
This is another one of his favorites!
A rich, sensual, smoky fragrance. Definitely a splurge, but unforgettable.
Tom Ford Oud Wood Candle
He’s trying this one for the first time. Same iconic scent but in candle form!
Perfect for the office, bedroom, or bathroom.
But this one will probably go to the office with him along with a candle warmer!
Montblanc Leather Notebook
A classic, luxury notebook for work, journaling, or creative planning.
The quality is unmatched.
Sam reached a milestone in his career so an abnormally expensive note-taking journal is a must.
Montblanc Classic Ballpoint Pen
Ok I know, I know! This is crazy!
Once again, he reached a milestone and I really wanted to get him a couple of splurge items relating to work because he freaking deserves it!
He's been grinding for this accomplishment for 10 years!
Esterbrook Ballpoint Pen
I decided to add this pen to the list in case you were disappointed by the cost of the other but liked the idea!
This one is still a splurge + also still a luxury as well but a fraction of the cost!
If you've made it this far...
Thank you so much for sticking around, I know he is typically a little on the bougie side!
But everything on this list is something my husband genuinely uses, loves, or would be excited to try.
(& honestly I'm not getting him everything on this list but this is just a list I generated for him & myself as a guide to what I might get him. So he might only get a few from each category or he might get all.
It really depends on what deals I can find!)
If you’re shopping for your partner and feeling stuck, I hope this helps spark some ideas.
If you end up grabbing anything from this list, let me know what you choose!
I love hearing what works for other couples!
Happy gifting and happy holidays. 🎄🤍
