Holiday Gift Guide: For Him
This Gift Guide could alternatively be called “7 of Justin’s favourite things & 4 things from his Christmas Wishlist.” But that’s a tad clunky isn’t it?
Either way you slice it, I’ve curated 11 no-fail gift ideas for the men in your life this holiday season.

1. Eddie Bauer Ultrasoft Thermal Henley Justin owns 6 of these shirts, and if that’s not an endorsement I don’t know what is. A go-to day to day shirt for the cooler months.
2. Yeti insulated mug We’re a rid-or-die YETI family – current count is 13 YETI mugs/bottles in our household. And let me tell you, this YETI mug is a game changer. I haven’t had a cold or re-heated coffee since this entered my life – and if your a fellow parent of littles you know what a luxury that is.
3. Nike Jordan Midtop Leather & Suede Shoe Sneakers are having a moment right now. This pair has the iconic Jordan look in a super fresh olive colourway.
4. Rayban Clubmaster Sunglasses A classic silhouette for a reason, these glasses are truly timeless, suitable for Boomers to Gen Z & everyone in between. We love our Ray-Bans, both Justin & I own a pair. Tip: go for polarized lenses, the enhanced clarity and reduction in glare will make you never want to wear regular lenses again.
5. Blundstone Boots Classic, rugged and versatile – Justin actually has two pairs (rustic brown as pictured and the winter insulated version as well). In fact both my kids and I also have & love Blundstones – they are the perfect day-to-day boot in my opinion.
6. Dewalt Cordless Jigsaw I gifted Justin this last Christmas & it’s been such an awesome addition to our tool repertoire. I wasn’t sold on battery-operated tools until I tried this jigsaw; it’s just as powerful as a plug-in version and the battery lasts a long time. This model has a plunge-cut feature, meaning you can easily start a cut in the middle of a workpiece without needing to make a pilot hole. IYKYK – this is an amazing feature to have.
7. Patagonia Half-Zip Fleece Justin’s go-to layering piece from Fall through Spring, this is the colour he has and it’s super versatile. Patagonia’s quality, customer service & environmental commitments make them a go-to brand in our home.
8. Apple Watch Loving this watch face/band combo that straddles the line of athletic and elevated. It is equally suited for both the gym and dinner out, and everywhere in between.
9. Apple AirPods Gen3 How are we not yet at the point that AirPods are just included as part of an iPhone purchase? They are that essential. The Gen3’s have extended battery life & a quicker charge time than previous generations. Apple offers free engraving on the case to add a personalized touch.
10. Lululemon All Day Essentials Duffle Bag Everyone needs a great weekender bag. This one is water repellent, has a shoe pocket, & a sleeve to nest on your roller suitcase. It’s functional enough to be his daily gym bag but elevated enough to bring on that weekend trip he has planned for you (nudge nudge).
11. Massage Gun Does this look ridiculous? 100% But let me tell you, we gifted Justin this for Father’s Day and it gets used alllll the time. P.S. – the kids think its fun to use so we’re getting back massages on the regular. You can thank me later.
