Great Gifts For Him 2017

Searching for gifts for the men in your life? Here's some nearly guaranteed wins:

If he lives where it's cold and doesn't have one of these it's nearly guaranteed to be a sure-fire win: a fleece lined flannel shirt. Men like this kind of comfort -- and it's warm without being hot. It will get them from light needs in Fall through the heaviest winter weather based on how they use it. Alone, or as a jacket (ewith a henley or tee underneath, or under a coat on really cold days where they are shoveling snow, hunting or ice fishing and need warmth without adding bulk. $59-69 with 20% off through 11/28 with code THANKS20 at LLBEAN



Got a Baseball lover? Someone who has memories in a certain stadium - Fenway Park - Wrigley Field - Camden Yards - Yankee Stadium... Give this blueprint of the field and stands with specs and historic moments noted.  From $185-265 at Uncommon Goods.

I love henley on men - and this one is special. Comfortable but not baggy, with extremely flattering stitching across the shoulders and yolk, he should secretly love how it seems to broaden his shoulders.  Comes in grey as shown, a reddish called henna, olive, taupe and a really great shade of orange, the current color of the moment. Maybe he'll smile and carry bundles of wood for you. $88 from Sundance.


If your guy works outdoors in boots, or does a lot of outdoor athletics in the winter like hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing, these socks are for him (and her too).  And they are on sale right now which really is a reason to scoop some up.  Smart Wool - here is the basic crew, which comes in many colors - but you can get thicker or thinker, ankle or calf and no color, patterns etc. at $7.99 a pair instead of the usual $18-25. At SierraTradingPost.com.

TIP: While a small selection of SmartWool socks can be found at many outdoor stores,  I suggest you peruse the Sierra Trading Post site because their prices are 55% off!


Been seeing these all over - from Walmart to Cabella (and often on sale at Marshalls, Kohls, Ebay and even Pottery Barn). A really nice, solid flask that carries a little more than those quick nip glass made traditionally to be slipped inside a sport jacket pocket. This is for a hunting or camping outing or a few hours out hiking or fishing and has a nice feel in hand. Comes in several finishes - I have both the traditional green and  matte black.  If you don't have one of those nearby, just Google it for best prices. Amazon carries them as well at $13.97.


CALLING ALL GOLFERS: All in one cleaning caddy: Built-in/removable spray bottle good for 500+ sprays, washable and replaceable non-scratch scrub pad, brass groove cleaning tools (flat and pointed), fold-out brass brush, recoiling tether (makes it easy to use while tethered to golf bag), and 100% cotton premium golf towel $19.96 ON SALE TODAY from $24 At theGromet.com


All weather sneakers: These must be exclusive to the Sundance Catalogue as I looked for them everywhere on Google - and Sorel - and could not find them anywhere else. Not sure if you like the look or not but the are all weather and comfortable, without looking like tennis shoes.  They have rubber soles and are insulated and their products are known to be lasting - very high quality - so I think worth the price if they are right for your guy, In Brown or Gray as show. $128  from Sorel. 


Denis Leary is a guys guy and he's got a new book out that hits the right note - telling us all to not let politics come between us - called Why We Don't Suck. It delivers his message as you laugh your way through. This could be called a quasi sequel to his last book which was a New York Times best seller.

Get it from Barnes and Noble for 20% off the $22 price through 11/26 with the code GIVETHANKS (more if you're a member). In the video below Denis tells you of 5 other great books he's reading, two of which are also good bets for the guy(s) in your life. 


These IceBreaker base layer shirts and leggings are thin, dry quickly, hold up under laundering (no pilling - and while you can, I don't put them in the drier) and really do keep in warmth and wick away moisture like nothing else I've seen. And they are NOT ITCHY - AT ALL. You can get them in heavier or lighter - these that I have recommended are 200 weight, as pictured below. It's nice to have one shirt that's the 250 weight for the coldest days.

Click HERE for leggings for $67.50  and Click HERE for the Mens Every Day long sleeve crew neck shirt for $52.50 (that's the sale price for both at 25% off till 11/29).
