I think a man doesn’t realize he needs slippers until he has a pair. There are a few rules when it comes to buying slippers for a man - 1. they can’t LOOK like slippers 2. they must be SO comfortable that the man can’t imagine his life without them, and 3. they cannot LOOK like slippers!  SO, my candidate for the perfect man slipper - Ugg’s Ascot Courduroy.  They are currently on sale at Zappos for $75 (orig $100).

These will make a great holiday / birthday gift for the non-slipper wearer in your life. :) 

While we’re on the subject of slippers… we might as well mention the woman’s version of the Ugg slipper - I am loving the Rylan and the Rylan Knit (see below)

Both are $100, and would make a GREAT gift for the slipper loving woman in your life (and what woman DOESN’T love a great pair of slippers)?!

Whether it’s a BBQ or a Fireplace, Men love to be in charge of anything having to do with FIRE!!! (insert bevis and butthead impression here).

As you can tell, it’s a bit harder to come up with creative gift ideas for the men in our lives..but it dawned on me that as long as it has to do with fire, it should be a hit!

The Dura-Tough Standing Log Carrier from LL Bean is a man’s tote bag for wood - and as it says on the site, it “reliably stands up to a rugged job.”  

It retails for $29.50 www.llbean.com/llb/shop/42721?feat=38683-ppxs&dds=y

If you want to pair it with another fire-appropriate gift - I came across this Modern Fireplace Tool Set from Crate and Barrel (it’s hard to find modern when it comes to a warm fireplace setting).

The set is $169 www.crateandbarrel.com/decorating-and-accessories/fireplace-accessories/alton-pewter-fireplace-tool-set/s678379

And, they often neglect it!!!  

Now, I’m not gonna lie - MEN are MUCH harder to shop for then women!  I mean how many gadgets can you buy?

That’s usually when I start thinking of “experience” gifts or a gift card, but I must say if the man in your life doesn’t mind a little pampering (or has never tried it), then this is a great gift for him!  Even if he only owns deodorant and hair gel, get him started and introduce him to a little luxury!

This particular set retails for $50 and includes:

Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash (8.4oz)

Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream –White Eagle (5.0oz)

Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment for Men (2.5oz)

“Ultimate Man” Body Scrub Soap (3.2oz)

Lip Balm #1 (0.5oz)

Ultimate Strength Hand Salve (1.0oz)

Kiehl’s men’s line is classic, and makes a great birthday, holiday, anniversary, or valentine’s day gift for that man in your life.
