Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #3


It’s my favorite Friday of the year…because today, I’m decorating my house for Christmas!
Woohoo!!!!
 I’m linking up with Andrea, Erika and Narci today (as always!) and sharing my favorites.
Last Friday, was my first Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway of the month, Monday was my second and today is my third.
One of you lucky ladies is going to win a $250 Nordstrom Gift Card. 
#thankyounordstrom #weloveyou
Okay…hold on to your slippers ladies, my first favorite this week is going to make you squeal…

On Tuesday, I walked into Nordstrom just as they were putting these babies out…
…new glitter studs.
I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!

And right now, all Glitter Studs are 25% off!
I would like to say that I exhibited just a titch of self control…but you guys know me well enough by now that you know when it comes to Kate Spade Glitter Studs, I have zero self control.  I bought the Opal Glitter and the Black Glitter.  I mean…won’t they just make every single outfit a little more special?!?!  I also bought two pairs for gifts as well.
Remember back during the summer when I bought five pairs to give out as gifts this fall…
…well, I gave them all out for birthdays over the last few months and now, it’s time to give some out as Christmas gifts too.  I’m thinking everyone from my mom to the girl who babysits for us occasionally will love these :).
To see all of the glitter studs, click here (don’t forget that they’re 25% off!).
(Past experience has taught me that these earrings sell out quickly!)

On Wednesday, I shared my favorite soup recipes and because soup is one of my favorite things to eat this fall and winter, it’s a favorite today too.  I have so many different types of soup…trust me, there is a soup or two for you in my collection.  To see my soups, click here.

I was pleasantly surprised that so many of you love all things cozy as much as I do!  On Wednesday, I did my cozy post and you guys were all about the cozy too!  To see all things cozy in my life right now, click here.
These house shoes are on my cozy list :).  They make excellent Christmas gifts too!
Okay…brace yourself…this is like the most fun purchase EVER…
…my “ugly” Christmas sweater arrived and it freakin’ lights up like none other!  
Oh my heavens, I am in love!  
Listen, my kids are at the perfect age for this sweater because they think it’s super cool (I’m sure they won’t think that when they’re in middle school…).  I showed Andrew and he was like “you’re going to wear that all the time”…yes, I am.  #heknowsmewell

And let’s be real, it’s actually really comfy too!  I mean…for an “ugly” sweater, it sure looks cute, right?!

My excitement just cannot be contained :).

Annnnd…I bought this one too just in case I didn’t love the light up one.  This sweater is also one of Nordstrom’s new “ugly” Christmas sweaters and it’s super cute as well.  I’m not going to keep this one…because I really only need one “ugly” Christmas sweater and my heart belongs to the light up one…but for those of you who want to be a little more subtle, this one’s for you :).  
And right now, this sweater is 30% off!!
You can see all of the “ugly” Christmas sweaters here. There are even more choices!
And bonus with these pics…my VERY FAVORITE JEANS that I talk about all the time and am wearing in these pics are on sale right now!  Eeks!  Right now, they’re 25% off!
And you can find my booties here and my lipstick (Plum Rose) here.
Whew!  I mean…fun sweater, right?!?!
#ilovetheholidayseason

I’m sharing my Totally Terrific Thanksgiving Treats today over on my foodie blog!  

These desserts are sure to be a hit at your Thanksgiving dinner (and none of them are complicated!).
To see all of the recipes, click here.

Last Friday, I talked about my love of giving cold weather accessories away as Christmas gifts to the ladies in your life and I also shared my love of The North Face…
 I heart my North Face jacket.

Venture Jacket//Osito Jacket//Loralei Down Jacket//Marlena Jacket

So, today, I thought I’d share some cold weather accessories for the men in your life.  Because let’s face it…men can be hard to shop for…but they could probably always use a new pair of gloves, scarf or hat.  And again…no guessing their size required. #amen

Here are my favorite cold weather accessories from The North Face right now…

1. Beanies
2. The blues beanie
3. E-tip gloves
4. Denali E-tip gloves
5. Trapper Hat
6. Ear gear

And here are few more fun cold weather pieces to give the men in your life this season…

Red Plaid Scarf//Grey Plaid Scarf//Reversible Scarf//Buffalo Check Scarf

And a warm pair of slippers to finish your guy off this season…

Nordic Slippers (only $21!)//Ugg Slippers//Potomac Slippers//

So…now are you ready to enter to win my $250 Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway #3?!?!

    My favorite guys gift to give at Christmas is some sort of specialty gadget/item that they can use for whatever they love to do. I like to get personal. I will also give gift cards, depending on the guy.

  28. Lauren Darrell says

    That sweater is incredible! I love to give the guys in my life tickets to sporting events/concerts. If tickets for their favorite team are not available, I make a little certificate that says they can redeem it for tickets later in the year. Again, no sizes needed and it is something I KNOW they will love!

  42. Carrie says

    The guys in my life that I give gifts to are primarily kids and they enjoy Legos and trucks. My husband prefers iTunes gift cards and Amazon gift cards! We actually no longer do adult gift giving in our family. It is such a relief and makes Christmas less stressful!

    The guys in my life are super easy! My husband will love any power tool or power tool accessories but they all love "fun" socks to wear to work! 😉

We are heading to Nordstrom tonight to pick up a couple items for him too – he wants a Northface jacket and a couple of new shirts for work(: Thanks for the give away fun! Susan

  168. Melinda says

    I end up reading your blog while I dry my hair before work every morning, then I end up getting to work and shopping for something! But my husband loves anything outdoors related: trail cameras, hunting goodies. My little guy is too little to decide what he likes best!

  171. Kim Cowan says

    I love to give warm weather accessories, a delicious smelling cologne, and maybe a cool electronic.

  173. The Mozingo's says

    I am addicted to Nordstrom now because of all the great things you and Pinterest Told Me Too post. I could spend every free moment browsing!!

  188. medelp says

    Love the glitter earrings…..I can't even begin to decide upon a color. For the guys in my life I often look for a fun/new tool gadget..in their mind they can never have too many and who doesn't like getting a "toy"". This year I found a gaget to attach to the drill and you use it to clean the rims on cars and trucks (totally a guy thing ) 🙂

  189. Resa says

  204. Stephanie says

    Thanks for hosting these giveaways! I love to give the guys in my life those awesome gloves that still allow them to use their touch screen devices. Always a hit!

  207. Ashley Wirth says

    I love giving out the 1/2 zip Nordstrom sweaters and a watch. My boyfriend is a 1st grade teacher so I also usually get him fun socks 🙂

  210. Kat Ambrose says

    Love the "ugly" christmas sweater purchase. I've been trying to find the perfect cute yet ugly Christmas sweater. Any other suggestions besides the ones listed at Nordstrom?

  211. Lia Pendleton says

    Love love love it all! So many great gifts for everyone in my life- Tis the season for gift giving and thankfulness!

  214. Kat Ambrose says

  215. Ann says

    I love to give my dad (and his wife) theater tickets. They won't treat themselves. I always try to find a game for my husband. My son (26) just wants money! 🙂

  217. The B Family says

    I love giving them anything for the outdoors. All the men in my life love to fish and be outdoors so they love anything that they can use for those things.

  218. Lenzen says

    I love to give my husband something sentimental as a surprise element to Christmas! And send him on a scavenger hunt.

  219. Jamie Allen says

    we {my daughters and i} usually get my husband the big ticket item he's dreamed of all year, my dad enjoys cashews and always a new shirt.

  220. Rachel Embery says

    I bought some of her studs a month ago and love them. No matter what I wear, snazzy or jeans, they go great. Will be ordering the glitter today!

  221. Erica Benson says

    Love giving gift cards. I bought my husband a north face jacket last year and he loves it. Looking into some of those gloves this year.

  222. Kirby McCasland says

    We're geeking out this year and ordering the 23 and Me DNA kits for each other! It should be fun to see where our ancestors trace from.

  224. Sara P says

    I like the idea of coldweather gear, but unless my husband is hunting, he really doesn't wear a lot of coldweather gear (gloves, hat, scarves). Last year, I got him a new wallet. That seems to be a nice man gift.

  225. boldandbusymama says

    My husband usually likes clothes for Christmas. This year he has asked for a Fitbit that tracks everything. (Forget which one this is). He's on a health kick this year!

  226. Kara Wilson says

    As always, love all these great Friday Favorites!!! The guys in my life love any & all things Apple!!

  234. Jennifer Moss says

    I have been giving Bose portable speakers to every guy for birthday, Christmas, whatever. Everyone loves a portable speaker!

  245. Sarah says

    I just might need that light up sweater for an Ugly Christmas Sweater party that I'm hosting next month!

  248. Elizabeth Alexander says

    I love giving quarter zip sweaters! My brother and husband make a lot of jokes about it because they know one of their boxes will contain one. The best part is I think quarter zips are the perfect clothing item for guys to wear all the time because they scream classy and casual, so by gifting them I get to dress them in what I like 😉

  249. Barri Chandler says

    I love to give my guys North Face jackets and pullover fleeces. They love getting new socks, boxers, and pj bottoms each Christmas, too.

  250. Emilie Godell says

    My favorite gift to give the guys in my life is tickets or passes for an adventurous thing – skydiving, driving a race car, scuba diving lessons. Or it could be a concert or class or activity to do together – painting class, dance lessons, hot air balloon ride.

  251. Alicia says

    My hubs loves anything from the University of Kansas. So I always get him something from there. We love our Jayhawks. I'm loving everything about this post. Just had surgery yesterday and would love some soup, loving the new Kate Spade earrings, and I must get that ugly sweater.

  253. Kelly says

    My guy has a thing for jackets so each year I like to get him a new coat or jacket that he's been eyeing.

  255. Angelina Cortez says

    Something I like to get as a gift for my guy is anything he's been talking about that would be useful (within reason 🙂 ) this year he has been talking about the apple iwatch and when he can't stop looking up videos about if and reading reviews, I know that is something he's really interested in. I don't always splurge throughout the year but for Christmas or birthdays, I do like the show that I've been paying attention 🙂 happy holidays!

  264. The Taylors says

    My favorite gift for the big guy in my life is something techy and new boxers! For my little mean something we can do as a family and have fun:)

  267. {Morgan}Rooted & Established says

    My guy is difficult to buy for. He doesn't want anything, doesn't need anything and is all about cheap! So I think anything bought with a free gift card would be up his alley (I'm thinking some warm weather gear…)

  272. Toni Taggart says

    Favorite guy gifts to give are: Anything North Face & gift certificate for a massage (he loves them but would never buy one for himself)

  276. Cindy says

    I love to give slippers and cozy PJ's. I love the new earrings… They would make great teacher gifts!

  332. Suzi says

    I like to give my 2 sons something they can be creative with, because they love to build things and draw. They could also use some snow boots. Thanks! !

  333. danielle says

    My fav thing for the guys in my life is gift cards. They are hard to shop for and with a gift card they can buy whatever they want or need!

    Also, where do you announce the winners for the giveaways?

  342. Marisa says

    Ugg slippers are athe tippy top of my list!! Knowing how powerless I am they will somehow end up on my feet before Santa arrives!! All about being cozy!!

  364. Jaclyn says

    This year I'm got my single guy cousin and he's super hard to buy for– my plan is a fun basket with scratch off and his favorite snacks and beverages and a fun personalized travel coffee much with the name his nieces and nephews call him.

  365. Kelly Maciejewski says

  387. Bella says

    My favorite gift to give guys is a gift card, because I usually have no idea what they want or what size they are!

  393. Christina says

    I usually get my husband the latest and greatest electronic/techie gadgets, workout gear, or something related to his hobbie (Vespas). We are in S. Cal. so cold weather gear doesn't get used as often…but with El Niño this year, I may have to reconsider! 😉

  394. Mommy2Vin says

    OMG you really did buy the "ugly" sweater! I may have to take a closer look at one of those. My students would LOVE it!

  406. Angela Kauth says

    That sweater is too fun! I love to give fun beer glasses to the men in my life. I found great ones at a pop up shop at Nordstrom last Christmas!

  408. Tonra says

    My hubby loves to ski! This year I'm treating him to a CAT ride to the top of the mountain for sunrise and first tracks!! In Vermont we really need to embrace winter!! It's long and cold and dark– at home my guy always gets new ugg slippers, smartwool socks and something sweet!

  409. Lauren Bergstrom says

    For the dudes in my life, they get slippers, North Face jackets and some new tech gadgets!

  436. Brittney Perlich says

    I love to give new cologne, shoes or outdoor clothing. I also think homemade gift baskets are a fun idea with some of their favorite things included!

    Love the gift ideas for men. All the men in my family always say they don't want anything which is so annoying!!

  442. Brittney Perlich says

    I love to give new cologne, shoes or outdoor clothing. I also love to give homemade gift baskets containing some of their favorite things.

  446. Carissa says

    A hat & gloves would be perfect for my husband's gift. He could wear them on our visit back to Canada over the holidays.

    Have a great day, Shay!

  450. Shelby Burger says

    I ordered the reindeer sweater after seeing it in your post! I can't wait for it to come in!

  451. Ashleigh King says

    Dying over those Kate Spade earrings! I wear mine like almost every day for real! So cute!

  453. Love on the Lake says

    As much as I love the over the top festiveness of the light up sweater, I think I liked the other one even more! I'm not a "subtle" person as Husband would attest, but it was just so cute and I love how the bear part is a fuzzy material against the sweater material. Classy ugly!

  454. Mikka Day says

    I entered! I hope I win! Also I talk about you to my friends like I know and they all think I'm crazy!

  456. Megan says

    This is terrible but I usually end up giving the guys gift cards if I can't find any ideas. So bad ?

  457. LeeAnn says

    Love the ugly sweater!! That light up sweater is THE BEST Christmas sweater I've ever seen. So cute! I love to give some kind of electronic and I always buy a flannel shirt! 🙂

  458. Janice Shin says

    I love to give my guy friends the Giorgio Armani Aqua di gio, it's the perfect guy scent and everyone loves it!

  460. Diane says

    I bought a pair of the glitter earrings during the anniversary sale and wear them all.the.time. Love your sweater! Had one with a light up Christmas tree on it I wore to an ugly sweater party several years ago, but yours is way better! 😉

  464. Eileen says

    Love those earrings! They'll be several women in my life getting those this Christmas. Also that ugly Christmas sweater – just perfect!

  467. Katie Pavlick says

    Any new electronic gadget or chargers, usb cords. My guy always tends to lose stuff like this so we stock up at Christmas!!!

  470. Candace0799 says

    I love getting my daddy things he really wants but would never buy for himself. (iPad, slippers, etc.)

  471. Amber Reese says

    Boys are so hard to buy for! Thank goodness for Amazon wish lists. This year my husband wants more tools.

  473. Lgegeland says

    Every Christmas, I make my husband a Shutterfly photo book with all of our photos from the past year. It'll be our 7th book this year; we love to look back at the books and reminisce!

  475. Lorraine says

    I am giving the men in my life yeti tumblers. And having them personalized with what they like (their team's logo, a deer, and an alligator)

  476. Rachel says

    My favorite guy gift is some kind of "experience" – two years ago I got my boyfriend a ride-along in a Nascar style car at the Michigan International Speedway – it was a hit!

  477. Krystal Best says

    I love surprising my husband every year with a gift that he has randomly mentions throughout the year. The last two years have been a big hit, but still trying to figure out what this year will be.

  487. Meghann Callison says

    Love the new earing colors…I bought a bunch this summer as well! I like giving nice shirts!

  490. Debra says

    We live in Florida, and last Christmas I gave my youngest son hiking boots, gloves and other cold weather clothes & accessories because he was moving to the north east. For my other guys I gave, socks, sweaters, grooming kits and gift cards. This year will probably again be gift cards, and someone mentioned headphones. I think any guy would love a good set of headphones! Think I'm going to check out those Kate Spade earrings for my girls!

  492. Dawn Dannenberg says

    That sweater is awesome, and those earrings would be perfect for my girls' teacher Christmas gifts!

  493. Nikki Carlson says

    The guys in my life appreciate electronics and nice clothes that they feel good in but would never want to shop for themselves (ha!), so I appreciate all ideas in those categories!!

  496. kkarr says

    My husband will be getting new slippers this year with a good sole on them…he wore a hole in the soft-sole ones so quickly!!

  498. Amy Coose says

    I'd have to say my favorite thing to give the guys in my life is sports stuff since they are all huge hockey fans.

  502. Hannah Smith says

    I like to surprise my husband with something he mentioned earlier in the year and likely forgot about!!!

  505. Dollie says

    Wow Shay I love that sweater! I ordered the same one can't wait to get it! My kiddos are going to go crazy about the light up part!

  506. Rudy says

    I love to give my husband new flannels, pjs, and gloves! Gloves and music (CDs or iTunes gift cards) for my dad and brother!

  507. Kathleen Kaiser says

    This year I bought the North Face fleece pullovers. So excited to give them as gifts. I mean who doesn't love an awesome fleece especially North Face.

  508. Cait Bahena says

    Now that I know the "ugly" sweater lights up I think I need it more! Also I can't get enough of those glitter studs!!

  509. Melissa says

    Does Kate Spade do anything wrong? Love those earrings!! And the light up Christmas sweater? J'adore ❤️

  515. Caty Fealko says

    Love those Kate Spade earrings and your blog! I'm a mom of 3 small children and look forward to your blog with my coffee every weekday morning!

  516. Aleah Millburg says

    I'm definitely going to grab a pair or two of those earrings!! And that sweater is too perfect!!

  517. Krista Wilkinson says

    Love the glitter earrings and the reindeer sweater!! Thank you for all the great gift giving ideas 🙂

  518. Laura says

    Ooh, guys can be so tough to buy for! Gadgets related to sometime they love, and when in doubt…a gift card. 🙂

  527. Carrie Beth says

    Guys are so hard to buy for, in my opinion, but your cool weather suggestions are perfect and something they probably wouldn't buy for themselves.

  528. jennyjuanita says

    I like giving the guys in our family books or new tech stuff. I like those gloves, though… 🙂

  529. Ashley says

    The husband loves his ugg slippers! Anything north face or golf related are also winners in this household.

  531. Jennifer Moreau says

    My Dad is SERIOUSLY hard to buy for, but my boyfriend loves anything and everything sports related (which makes things super easy). I'm also looking at watches for him this year (fingers crossed for that gift card!!) 🙂

  534. Rebecca Bryant says

    love to give "experiences" – i.e. tickets to that ball game they have been talking about, tickets to a concert of their favorite band, a flight ticket to visit a city they've always wanted to go to….

  541. Katy says

    I love to give any sort of new electronic/techy gift. Apple gadgets and accessories are always a favorite!

  542. Katie says

    I'm pretty sure the man in my life is impossible to shop for because buys himself everything! His presents usually end up being very practical which isn't nearly as fun but always appreciated.

  545. Jessica says

    I love shopping for men's clothes. So cozy sweaters and warm fleece jacket are on the list this year!

  548. Denise says

    Gloves (cold weather here), tools or new shirts. Sometimes other big purchases if needed like ski accessories, etc.

  549. WriterBee says

    I like to give tshirts or tools. I've given up on wallets, as my husband never seems to want to break a new one in!

  551. Amy Pool says

    I am ordering those earrings for my kids teachers. Those Ugg slippers are my favorite. I live in them !!! Thanks for all the great gift ideas

  556. Kim says

    Love all the glitter earrings. I love your post and recipes. I have made several and they do not disappoint. .

  561. Lynn {A Taste of Country} says

    Thank you to you and Nordstrom for the giveaway! Those "ugly" sweaters are adorable!

  563. Sarah Weirich says

    Favorite gift for guys = gift cards. All the men in my life are horrible with coming up with Christmas gift ideas but you can't go wrong with a gift card. 😉

  567. Unknown says

    For the guy in my life in addition to his actual presents I usually get him something "Disney" whether it's a shirt, movie, magnet, picture frame, etc. We love going to Disney and actually got married there this year! Christina L

  570. RED says

    I love these glitter studs and the solid colors too. I don't have any yet, but they were definitely on my birthday list (my birthday is Monday!!!). I will be decorating for Christmas as well this weekend and am so excited for the holidays!

  572. Kim says

    That sweater is too funny, I am pretty sure my 3rd grader would die of embarrassment if I wore that! 🙂

  575. Rachel Kirby says

    outerwear, hats and gloves are pretty popular gifts for guys. They seem to not buy that stuff for themselves!

  577. Melissa Sexton says

    I like to buy a nice bottle of scotch or bourbon. Or an interesting craft beer. We're an Irish family:)

  581. Caitlyn Olson says

    My like to give warm, cozy gifts to my favorite guy! Comfy sweaters, slippers, hoodies, etc. Being comfy during the winter is priority number one. 🙂

    Ps. I love those Kate Spade earrings!!! *drooling*

  584. bmrobertson63 says

    I love to pick out a fun tech gadget for my husband each year. I have no idea what I am planning for this year!

  585. Heather Miller says

    I love the earrings! I've been trying to think of something different to give my friends. Love the sweater too – both of them but the light up reindeer is awesome!

  590. Nicole Goff says

    I would love those glitter earnings!
    I usually my my husband a new wallet, fancy razor, new shoes, or a gift card! 🙂

  591. Lindsay says

    I love to get my boyfriend great tickets to see one of his favorite sports teams (either New England Patriots or Boston Celtics). He also loves all things festive and sweet and so I often make homemade peppermint bark Oreos as well as some type of holiday cake pop!

  593. Fleming Family says

    The cozy post was all about ME!! I'm am right with ya on being a Golden Girl honey. I am even looking at the sweatshirt to order for my daughter for Christmas! Keep those ideas coming.

  594. Andrea K says

    My fav gift to give my guy is his fav cologne! Nothing like a good looking & smelling man! 😉

  597. Lori says

    Glitter studs?! Beautiful! My hubby will be getting clothes! Can't wait to see what other guy gifts you post.

  598. Ellen Brown says

    I've been going back and forth about whether I should put up Christmas decor this weekend…definitely doing it now! Thanks for all the gift inspiration..those earrings are definitely on my list!

  601. Lee and Anna Hogan says

    For the guys in my life, I like to buy whatever is number one on their list. It's usually something they would never buy themselves. I love seeing the look on their face when they open it!

  604. Lara says

    Shay I LOVE those opal glitter earrings. I already have the turquoise – but what's another pair, right? Also, the Bobbi Brown lipstick looks great on you – I may have to also check that out.

  605. Kathryn R. says

    the guys are always the hardest to buy for! Although I've had great success with some cozy (I mean manly…) slippers 😉

  606. Erin P says

    OBSESSED with the light up sweater and the new Kate Spade earrings! May have to go grab me a pair just in time for the Holidays 🙂

  607. Lindsay Lowery says

    My favorite guy gift is zip-up sweaters! And I'm totally buying that light up sweater for our work Ugly sweater day! It's so cute!

  611. Catherine Smith says

    They have light up slippers @ Target that would go with the sweater! My 8 year old told me I need them when I go to the hospital to have her sister!

  614. Jennie says

    Love, love your lipstick! North Face is a favorite of mine, too. This Christmas I'm getting my husband cologne and a nice watch.

  617. holly veasey says

    Now that my step sons are older, I like to give scratch off lottery tickets in their stockings. Their Dad gets a kick out of it too. It is a fun way to spend a little money and maybe win a bit too.

  621. J. Woods says

    Love the glitter earrings. How would I decide which pair? My favorite Christmas gift to give is a fun piece of jewelry that I know the person would not necessarily buy for herself but that she would enjoy.

  623. Annelise Driscoll says

    My favorite gift to give is tickets to a sports game (Bruins or Red Sox) or fun boxers!

  624. Meghan says

    I usually stick with books or gadget accessories — a fancy iPhone camera add on, a wireless something-or-other for their tools. I also like to buy the boys one or two nice shirts/sweaters to improve their fashion a bit!

  625. kristy.branscum says

    I always give my hubby new boxers rolled up in his stocking! For other guys in my life, I like to give gifts specific to the work they do (ex: my dad is a builder, so I got him some heavy duty hand cream for his rough hands; my bro-in-law works in an office so we got him a travel coffee mug that keeps his coffee hot all day)

  626. Cara@HomespunKitchen says

    I always struggle with what to give my husband, however now I make him send me actual links of what he wants, lol!!! Thanks for the giveaway, and I love your Christmas Sweater!

  627. Dina Cullinane says

    Guys are so hard to buy for! Wish i could get them those glitter earrings! haha But i like to get comfy things for guys too! Sweaters, socks, slippers, bathrobes.. that type of stuff! Ahhhhh love Christmas shopping!!

  629. Meredith Holliman says

    I love giving the guys in my life something practical, like a nice polo or something they will wear a lot. Men are so tricky to buy for, I do enjoy throwing in some pajama pants for fun!

  630. Andrea Brant says

    I think a good gift for men is a watch. I pay attention to what my guy likes as we shop during the year, write it down when he's not looking, and buy it when he's not around. iTunes gift cards always seem to be a hit with the men in my life.

  631. Caryn Lecca says

    I love getting slippers for my boyrfriend for Christmas. I usually end up snagging a similar pair for myself as well; they're so comfy looking I can't resist.

  634. Kayla Kuhl says

    My favorite gifts to give are experiences, for example: concert tickets, sky diving, a weekend getaway, the list goes on… 🙂

  635. Carrie says

    I love giving a new robe and slippers to guys for Christmas. Through in a stogie and they think they're Hugh Hefner hehe

    Ordering the glitter earrings now :). I love to get my brothers tickets to their favorite sporting events as a Christmas gift!

  638. Lisa McGinness says

    You have the best eye for winter goodies!! And I just bought myself some of those Kate Spade earrings at the outlet! 70% off!!

  640. Amiller says

    I like to buy the men in my life winter gear, sometimes silly toys, or games, and then lounge wear!

  641. Melissa Tyler says

    I love the glitter earrings! I have the multicolored ones. The white and black ones are super pretty too! Also, that "ugly" sweater is pretty perfect!

  645. Kimberly R. says

    I like getting fun socks for the guys in my fam. Thanks for doing these giveaways! I realy hope I win 😀

  647. Nicole Erdeljac says

    I love giving something techy, or just a fun gadget that will make their life easier, that they would never buy themselves! I also love giving things they would buy anyways, like renewing their subscription to Netflix, Spotify, or a mail-club (like the dollar shave club)

  651. A Gal Named Al says

    My husband and I usually do a lunch date at our favorite steakhouse instead of buying gifts. I think experiences/time with each other is better than stuff to wrap.

  653. Lindsay F. says

    I'm pretty boring when it comes to guy presents… probably because my hubby is pretty basic. I usually give shirts and food items.

  657. Arielle Riley says

    I LOVE the kate spade studs! I wear them with my boring scrubs to work to brighten up my uniform!

  659. Jennifer Jackson says

    I love love the earrings and the ugly, but cute, sweaters. For the gifts, I really like to give a surprise date night or something that requires some time. Like concert tickets or a weekend getaway!

  663. A&W says

    My precious husband asked for a framed photo of me and our son for his office #what #allthehearteyedemojiis

  665. S Ros says

    I always have trouble finding fun things for the guys in my life. I usually resort to tools or clothes!

  666. Lena T says

    I am LOVING all of this!!! That "ugly" sweater is fabulous and I need one!!! Also, those Kate spade studs?!? Get out of here, I am buying those for all the girls in my life!!

  670. Morgan Kirk says

    Love the earrings so much! this year i'm planning on giving out some kate spade earrings to my bridesmaids because our wedding is December 20th! They will be so excited and I can't wait to give them out!

  672. Jamie Zdarsky says

    That sweatshirt is on my must buy list…and I love the glitter studs, time for some shopping!

  675. Traveler, Party of 1 says

    I like getting the guys in my life a fun game or movie! Something fun we can all enjoy together (or a shirt/cologne are always good standbys!)

  678. ERICA STAFFORD says

    Thanks for the new glitter studs heads up!! These are being added to my collection as we speak!

  679. Nikki says

    OMG…I LOVE the light-up sweater. Sadly, my children are already in middle school and would hang their heads in shame if I showed up wearing it. Hmm, maybe I SHOULD order it to remind them who they are! I've already got the glitter studs for my sister for Christmas. Can't wait to give them to her!

  686. Lizzie Sauter says

    The men in my life all like to golf, so golf stuff is always safe! The boyfriend typically tets something for hunting as well.

  687. Claudia says

    I love to give guys T-shirts. They are always well received and I love seeing them wearing their new shirts all year long.

  689. Sweet Simplicity says

    I love the north face tech gloves for the men in my life. They allow you to use your iPhone with the gloves still on.

  693. Unknown says

    Favorite go to gift for guys is Eddie Bauer pull over fleece jackets. Super comfy and stylish. My husband and dad wear them all the time.

  696. Unknown says

    I love the glitter earrings! But I also LOVE that light up sweater! I work with college students so I don't think they'd appreciate it much, haha. But I'm always looking for a fun sweater so that bear one is great 🙂 love your blog!!!'n

  697. Danielle Knight says

    I love giving my husband anything to do with hunting gear and for my brothers I usually gift something from jcrew

  698. Angie says

    I'd love to win! Especially since when I tried to order the Kate Spade earrings the price didn't reflect the 25% off. 🙂

  699. Milissa Marona says

    I like to get the men in my life a new devotional book. This one is good: The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge.
    PS Love.those.earrings!!!!

  702. Kalpana Vissa says

    I absolutely love those glitter earrings!! Going to have to buy some for myself and my Kate spade loving best friend 🙂

  703. Elaine says

    I am so in love with Nordstrom! I wish we had one close to where I live, but shopping on-line is fun too! Thanks for doing the giveaways!

  704. Melissa Pippin says

    Oh, I love the opal Kate Spade earrings! I can't wait to give them to my sister and mom for Christmas!

  706. Shelby Bush says

    Buying the glitter studs right now! I'm so glad I found out they were on sale from your blog!

  709. Spencer Cox says

    I LOVE your ugly sweater!! Thanks for sharing!

    I always love to give my dad (one of my favorite guys in my life!) something that we can do together. For instance, this year his favorite band Mumford and Sons is coming in April – so I bought us two tickets to go to it. I think he appreciates the time we spend together more than any gift I could ever give him. 🙂

  711. Kalpana Vissa says

    I absolutely love those glitter earrings! Need some for myself and my Kate Spade loving best friend 🙂 thanks for sharing!!

  713. Stephanie M says

    I always like to buy my husband new sweaters or ties; he rarely spends money on himself on clothes so it's nice to change up his closet a bit around the holidays!

  716. Reba says

    I love to give plaid shirts for Christmas, and small tools to the guys in my life (husband, father, brothers). Love this post!

  719. Jodi Bartlett says

    I am slowly becoming a Nordstrom addict…and it's all your fault! 🙂 I find myself browsing the site several times a day when I should be working!

  721. Katie says

    It varies with the guys in my life! My husband doesn't buy clothes often, so I like to surprise him with new clothes. My dad loves clothes so he's always excited for clothes. Sometimes I spring for a new tool or gadget, but it changes each year. Always keeps them on their toes!

  722. Aggies says

    Oops…I left off what I like to give to the guys in my life…shirts or items that I know that won't buy for themselves!

  727. Denisa Carrell says

    Love Kate Spade! I plan on getting my husband clothes, a Yeti tumbler, and whatever else he needs!!

  728. Paige @ Kids and The Good Stuff says

    My favorite thing to give is PJ pants. Comfy ones. Everyone gets them from me! I gotta try for the gift card!

  732. emma kate slagle says

    My favorite present that I have gotten would probably be my boot and fun scarfs! I get to wear them all the time and the are the best for fall! I almost love giving gifts more though can it so fun to shop for other people!

  733. Kristie says

    I love so many of your favorites! You and Schaeffer have certainly helped my sense of style 🙂

  734. Laura Bake says

    First off love the studs. My husband loves getting warms gloves since he's outside for work in the winter a lot. But video games are also a good bet.

  735. Mary Cichanski says

    Last year my SIL and I wanted that reindeer sweater but it sold out. Now that I know it lights up it is a must have!

  738. McKenzie Mackintosh says

    My husband and I got married in September, so I would like to surprise him with our wedding video for Christmas. 🙂

  745. Lindsey G says

    I love buying my husband pajamas. It's so nice to cuddle up on the couch with a nice fire built to embrace the cold and spend some quality time together!

  747. Tracy says

    I usually buy the guys flannel pants & gift cards or hoodies & hats from their favorite sports team. I'm so glad you posted the men's slippers. I've been looking for some that were nice and also affordable. Guess I'll be doing some Christmas shopping. 🙂

    I LOVE both of those "ugly" Christmas sweaters. So much fun!

  748. Haley says

    I love buying my husband date nights. For example, last year I bought him Mavs tickets and we went out to dinner and the basketball game!

  752. Chelsea Vantrease says

    Just bought ALLLL the KS glitter studs yesterday – they are my faves! I'll definitely be buying my hubs some new slippers for Christmas! Thanks for the ideas!

  756. Trina says

    I like giving tickets…concerts, sports events, experiences. Men can be hard to buy for so tickets to something they enjoy are always a hit!
    And on another note, momma needs some new jeans!

  761. Leah Williams says

    My dad is currently the only man in my life so I like to get him a new book(he loves history ones) and/or something for the kitchen because he loves cooking!!!

  765. Tabatha Flanick says

    I love giving my hubby something out of the ordinary. Something that has nothing to do with work! Whether its a pair of warm sweats, or cozy slippers:))

  768. Haley Nelson says

    Experiences that require quality time…gift cards to restaurants or movies, sporting event tickets, etc…

  769. Tabatha Flanick says

    I live getting my hubs something that doesnt have anything to do with work! So maybe a pair of comfy sweats, cozy slippers etc.:))

  772. Brittany Gray says

    Love the glitter earrings!! Im new to your blog and love it as well! 🙂 My favorite gift to give guys is things I know they would not buy themselves. For instance this year Im getting my husband a year supply of jerky! LOL Its a club where they send you different brands and flavors every month. I think its cool because he will keep getting presents every month! 🙂

  774. Sarah says

    Earrings. I buy my favorites throughout year and then gift them to my friends at Christmas! One for me…one for you. 🙂

  775. Kelley Cerny says

    Well now I need some glitter studs. Heading to your Mix&Match site now so I can be the office hero at our thanksgiving potluck office luncheon!

  777. Julsb509 says

    Gift cards for experiences are always fun to give guys plus new clothes (since my guy hates to go shopping: )

  780. Mariela says

    Gorgeous earrings! For the guys, I love to buy them slippers and pajamas. Nothing says happy winter like a pair warm and cozy jammies!

  784. Heather says

    My favorite gift to give my husband is some kind of hunting gear! I can always find something new!

  785. Unknown says

    My favorite gift to give the guys in my life is hand knit hats! They appreciate the effort and my dad wears them like no other! 🙂

  788. Simplychelseablog says

    I always get comfy clothes, so I love your suggestions!! I LOVE the earrings, I will have to check those out

  790. Kate L. says

    I have purchased so many of those glitter studs for gifts, too. Every girl deserves a little sparkle! For whatever reason, I always end up purchasing men's gifts at the Gap. I love their men's sweaters and some of the men's scarves you've featured on here before.

    Enjoy your weekend!!

  798. Stacey Hayes says

    Thanks for all the great Christmas ideas… when I can't think of something to get someone in my family i come to your blog and can always find something!

  801. Elizabeth Brophy says

    I bought a few pairs of those glitter earrings during the anniversary sale for Christmas gifts!! Can't wait to give them to people 🙂

  802. Andrea Bermes says

    Love those glitter earrings!! For the guys in my life I love to give warm weather accessories!

  804. Meagan Clawson says

    I'd love to win this!! And I'm jealous your putting up your decorations!! I think I just might as well 🙂

  806. Emily says

    I tried adding a couple of different colors of the Kate Spade earrings to my cart and they weren't on sale. I did a live chat and the representative said only the pink glitter and silver glitter are 25% off. 🙁 Maybe this is just in store only?

  807. Kim says

    I love the Christmas sweater and wish that they sold it in my size (XL). It is just the funnest thing ever!

  814. Michelle says

    Love me some Nordstrom and might have to snag another pair of glitter studs! Thanks for sharing!

  816. Erin Stinson says

    I love the kate spade glitter earrings. I have yet to pull the trigger on them, but now might be the perfect time!

  818. Olivia says

    I just love nordstrom, don't have one in my town but the free shipping is awesome! Would love the giftcard for Christmas gifts.

  821. IsntThatGrand says

    Christmas ends up being a resupply season for my husband who is a farmer, which means he gets workbooks, gloves, coats, and Carhartts.

  822. Emily Cook says

    I love giving my man wool socks. They make them in so many fun designs and he wears them all the time!

  825. Kelsey Sonego says

    This year I am gifting several guys with a Yeti Koozie. I bought my husband one a few months back and he still raves about it!

  828. Emily Cook says

    I love to give my guy wool socks. They come in so many fun designs and he wears them all the time!

  830. Lisa says

    I try to buy my husband sweatshirts/pullovers /jackets from his favorite college teams; there is some nice looking apparel out these days! Otherwise, he's always happy to receive an upgrade on a golf club or some type of gadget (gopro, kegerator, etc.)!

  837. Angela Ellingson says

    That ugly sweater is hilarious! I looove those Ugg house shoes. Please keep the men gift ideas coming!!!

  839. Corinne says

    I've had the nerdy reindeer sweater in my shopping cart this week but I have to change it to the reindeer! I didn't realize it lit up… My kiddos will love it! I give the guys in my life (husband, dad, grandfathers) travel coffee mugs made with pictures of their kids/grandkids all over them.

  840. LC says

    my husband loves getting Under Armour and The North Face. I think this year I'll grab him a pair of those slippers;)

  841. Abby says

    I love those earrings and reindeer sweater! Thanks Shay for making it so easy to shop for such cute things!

  843. Martha Kemper says

    The glitter earrings are GENIUS! The can perk up an otherwise "blah" outfit. Price is right – – – I'm going to Nordstrom's today!

  846. Christy Longoria says

    Homemade coffee cure rub. I received the recipe from the state fair from the Smoke restaurant in Dallas.

  847. Mother Henn says

    My nerdy guys loves techy-electronic-y things. Any kind of little gadget makes him happy. Personally, I like to dress him sharp….so, a little gadget distracts him while I overhaul his wardrobe one piece at a time. #winwin

  849. Shayla Nuttall says

    Love the Kate Spade earrings! They were sold out too quickly last time you posted! Got mine today! ☺️

  850. Ashley Hall says

    My favorite gift to give my husband at Christmas is cologne. (A gift to me as well.) Last year I got him the Sephora sample pack and he loved it!

  853. Rachel Pursley says

    Such cute stuff! And I'm totally in love with that "ugly" sweater, only I'd definitely wear it all the time too!

  856. Lindsay Conroy says

    The Kate Spade earrings are adorable! Perfect Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing some great ideas!

  863. Kevin and Karen says

    I love getting the guys something fun that they can use/play with together on Christmas. Remote control helicopters, mini drones, go pros… The list goes on!

  864. eepedro says

    Anything from their favorite football team (hoodies, hats) is always a safe bet for the guys in my life.

  868. eepedro says

    Anything from their favorite football or baseball team (hoodies, hats) is usually a safe bet for the guys in my life.

  869. Becky B. says

    I usually give the guys in my life exactly what the ask for… Which is never very fun (golf balls, gift cards, hunting gear, etc.).

  870. Taylor says

    It's typically something hunting related because my husband and brother are both big time hunters….so camo is always a winner!

  875. Suzy says

    LOOOOVVVVVEEEE those earings! I usually buy my hubby cologne or slippers….so I definitely need to check out your slipper pics!! Thanks Shay!

  876. Anne Harvey says

    I feel like guys, at least my guy is SO hard to shop for! He is so particular with most things. I do find I can't go wrong with getting him things like cologne, dress shirts, and ties etc. I think his favorite and my favorite to do is something that has a lot of thought put into it. Like one year I wrote down a gazillion ways I appreciate and love him. I crunched them up and put them in a cute decorated jar.

  879. Melanie says

    That sweater is so YOU! Super cute!! For the men in my life I like to give sweatshirts, slippers, travel mugs and scratch-off lotto tickets:)

  881. Keisha Dawson says

    I love your excitement over the "ugly" Christmas sweater. I feel the exact same way, and I totally embarrass my husband!

  884. Tish says

    My hub is so hard to shop for bc he buys himself everything he wants! I keep a running tab of things he mentions throughout the year and get those plus something for the house.

  885. Mary Keith says

    Love the earrings, tacky sweater, jeans, booties, lip stick, everything!

    I love to give guys a nice watch. Also, something thay enables them to do an activity they love– a card for the driving range, rock climbing gym, etc. This year, my husband has requested a Lowe's gift card for tools. 🙂

  886. Rachel -Doug Betts says

    I only buy clothes for my husband once a year – at Christmas. These are great suggestions. Love the glitter earrings – already bought some for my niece.

  887. Kimberly says

    I tend to get clothes for the guys in my life because they don't buy them as often for themselves! Would love to win the gift card!

  889. Rachel Kennally says

    The guys in my life always get athletic gear or nice clothes that I know they would never buy themselves. I also like to make my dad some sort of picture frame with fun memories we have had thoughout the year.

  890. KRISTIN TATE says

    I would've never thought to buy the sweater unless I was wearing it to the ugly Christmas sweater party. Thank you for showing us that silly shirts can be fun and super cute even when it's not for a themed party!

  893. Van and Cindy says

    Good quality dark chocolate is always on the list of things that I give to the guys in my life. 🙂

  896. Pn says

    My favorite thing to give to my guy is something homemade and from the heart like baked chocolate chip cookies or a knitted beanie.

  897. Jillian Schmall says

    I love to buy local made things for the guys in my life. T-shirts with their favorite teams on the design are always a hit!

  899. Raquel Howes says

    Stud earrings are adorable, my girlfriends would love those! And that Christmas Sweater that lights up… amazing! 🙂 So cute!

  900. Emily says

    For the main man in my life I have somehow ended up starting a tradition of a shirt with some comical remark on it! Last year's was, "the biceps are the key to this outfit." Lol!!

  901. Laura Huang says

    I love getting stocking stuffers for my hubby. His favorite candy (grapefruit gummies!), a gift card to his favorite store, and his favorite drink, either some coffee or whiskey! Last year I got him a sampler set of 5 different types of whiskeys and he LOVED it!!

  905. Jennifer Goodwin says

    Love this post and I'm excited about the giveaway! I love the earrings and can't wait to share some as gifts! Thanks for the opportunity!

  909. Kjlb37 says

    Guys ARE so hard to buy for, thanks for the suggestions! I'm hoping Nordstrom's will have the Northface jackets on sale (Black Friday, possibly?) so I can buy one for all my guys:) Thanks, Shay!!

  919. Unknown says

    I find the guys more difficult to shop for! I tend to give my brother in law a variety of craft beer 🙂

  920. Alicia Worth says

    Good morning!!! Those kate Spade earings are to die for!! Love them. In another note you have inspried me to start blogging. I am newly married and wanted a family blog. Thank you for sharing your life with you faithful readers! 🙂

  924. Ms.Savins says

    For my husband it's undies and socks! They are always appreciated! All the other men love button ups or athletic shirts!

  929. Mary Feagley says

    Love the North Face ear covers! Also planning on the usual Lowe's gift card so my husband can finally get his snowblower!

  930. Monica says

    Hard to buy for the men i know! I bought season ticket package for Frisco Roughriders last year and that was a big hit!

  932. Claire says

    Those glitter studs, love the black, it would 'pop' and that 'ugly' sweater is too cute! I think my boys would love the light up one.

  933. Aubrey says

    My man LOVES getting vinyl records or Amazon gift cards for any present, so that's what I'll be getting! Thank you so much for your blog. It's what I look forward to most in the morning!

  934. Ariel Lambert says

    Your family is the cutest thing! I always see your postings on Instagram about adoption and I am happy to say me and my husband will be adopting one day!

    I love seeing your enthusiasm on Instagram and on the blog, it always makes my day feel that much better!!

    Most importantly it's awesome to know that we don't know each other in real life but that we are sisters in Christ and family!!!

    Keep up the good work of making people's lives brighter and sharing the Christmas cheer!

  935. Cyndi Berger says

    Love, love Nordstrom. Did you know it started out as just a shoe store in Seattle and Portland, I lived in OR and mom always took we three girls twice a year for new shoes, what a fun memory. Now I live Seattle, and still love their shoes

  937. Connie Baxter says

    So excited for the giveaway! Thanks!!! Also, can't wait to see your home decorated! Keep us posted!

  938. Denise says

    Love, love, love the KS earrings! Can't wait to order a new pair! Thanks for the Nordstrom Giveaway, Shay!!

  944. Nichole Mancone says

    Perfect timing on the ugly sweater! My boss is having an ugly sweater breakfast this year and I found one of the Derek Heart ones on sale for $29 and it's so cute. Can't wait to wear it.

  946. Andrea Griffin says

    I get my boyfriend a nice sweater or flannal, and then something nice every year. In the past I've gotten him a watch, a nice coat, wallet, and various tech gadgets (separate years). I also love getting him cologne. I get to pick the scent I snuggle up to and I can recognize when he wears it

  948. Tiffany Hoppe says

    That "ugly" sweater is everything! My kiddos would love it! And I need this stud earrings in my life now! Thanks for another great giveaway!!

  950. Gail says

    I typically get the guys in my life things they need but don't want to go out and buy for themselves. Examples: new athletic clothes, running shoes, dress shirts, etc. I also usually toss in a fun gift, like a video game, concert/sporting tickets, camping gear, whatever their interests are. Love those Kate Spade earrings! Want to buy a pair for my sister and me but can't even decide on a color!!

  951. Reilly Walker says

    This year my guy is all about shoes for Christmas! I have been searching for a new pair of moccasins for him, those Potomac slippers are perfect! Woohoo! Also, I'm adding a pair of sparkle earrings in every color to my Christmas list! LOVE!

  953. Lauren Kate says

    Only you could make an "ugly" Christmas sweater look so good. Good choice going with the light up one!

  954. An Aspiring Journalist says

    I love your friday favorites! I always enjoy reading you blog everyday!
    I think I would get my dad some gear from my college! He went to my college as well so we have a lot of school pride! Go OU Bobcats!

  955. Chrystianne R. S. says

    Those earrings Shay! (insert heart eyes emoji) My husband is going to kill me because I MUST get a pair.

  956. Kathryn Truex says

    I love giving my hubby new clothes because he will rarely buy anything for himself and he looks good in everything!

  958. Valerie says

    For the guys, I love giving North Face fleece, lounge pants, and slippers like Uggs and Wicked Good slippers.

  960. Emmy says

    I love getting experiences for the guys in my life, because they're so hard to buy for! I've given my dad museum gift cards, etc….he loves them.

  961. Andrew says

    I LOVE shopping at nordstrom. That chirstmas sweater is tempting, but I'm loving the adorable one with the glasses.

  962. Jamie Price says

    I ordered the sweater and the jeans!! Can not wait for that sweater!!! My husband is a tool guy so he gets tools! My brother and stepdad love T-shirts so I always hit up Cabelas for them!

  963. Babygirl says

    Favorite gift to give my guy….tickets to something, like for his 40th birthday, I planned a trip to Boston to go to Fenway park, which was on his bucket list!

  968. Lisa Longoria says

    My hubby is not a gift person. His love language is touch. So I'll give him a neck massage.

  971. Victoria Mazzola says

    I neeeed those kate spade studs in my life! I've been saying that ever since you first post about them. I think it's time. So, I'm thinking Kate spade studs for me (and maybe some gifts) and ugg slippers for dad!!

  973. Aleena Acuna says

    The guys in my life all love bass pro shops so they usually get things for hunting, fishing and camping! They are way too easy. The honey in my life is getting a go pro this year! Thanks for all the great posts, I love reading your blog.

  989. Kristen Tate says

    Anything North Face or Under Armour. Or a Cabela's gift card…ha! Thanks so much for the great giveaway!!!

  991. Shannon Cook says

    I like to give coffee cups with my kiddos faces on them. The men in my life always love them! Or tools. You can never go wrong with tools.

  992. Janet says

    I have three sons and a husband who love all things outdoors so usually they get something fro Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, or Academy!

  994. Elizabeth Stiles says

    I could definitely use a Nordstrom gift card for some holiday shopping – I am feeling so behind this year! Love your light up sweater too! I bet the kids are crazy about it!!

  995. Alice says

    this year I am giving my 15 year old son a membership to the Dollar Shave Club!! and some Butt/Face soap 😉

  998. Dani Lee says

    Pick me pick me! I want to buy my Mama some of those comfy DKNY pajamas and those UGG slippers with the gift card. She'd LOVE it.

  1002. Unknown says

  1003. lindsey says

    I need those opal glitter studs right now, excuse me while I go update my shopping cart right now.

  1005. Melissa Loureiro says

    My go-to for the guys in my life is usually something from The North Face or a button down! Love these ideas though, may have to mix it up this year! Every man needs a good scarf!

  1008. Undeniablyfamily says

    For the guys in my life I love to buy cologne as gifts. My 16 year old loves it. My husband would probably prefer hunting or fishing gear. Ha!

  1010. Mama Dean says

    I'd love to know how you keep gifts you give a secret with your blog – I just assume everyone you know reads it. I'm always trying to sneak gifts to keep them secret!

  1013. McCameys says

    You have great taste Shay! Thank you for including all of us in a chance to win a shopping spree! I couldn't ask for a better giveaway, Nordstrom is my all time favorite and I have been a customer for years! Thank you for taking the time to share your treasures of a find with all of us! xoxo

  1017. Conley Morris says

  1019. Katie Shira says

    Love the Kate Spade earrings!
    This year I bought every guy family member a YETI tumbler. I think they are going to like them!! Last year I bought everyone a north face jacket. That was a huge hit!

  1021. Melissa A says

    The "ugly" sweaters at Nordstrom make me happy. I'm trying to figure out which one I want because there's really only room for one in my closet.

  1022. Lyndsey Parks says

    Each year is different when buying for my guys…. Last year my hubby got a booklet of me in my wedding dress and such, he still brings it with him when he travels for work…. Money well spent!! 🙂

  1023. dresselfamily.blogspot.com says

    Oh I love christmas decorating.. my hubby… not so much !!
    ok.. only you could rock that sweater.. if I put that on I would look like a 90 yr old granny. my more than ample boobs would look ridiculous… and I know this.. yet I want it because you look adorbs lol
    have a great weekend.. can't wait for the Christmas home tour!

  1026. Meg Hodges says

  1052. Unknown says

    I love the glitter earrings. I will be buying some as Christmas gifts. I also love your ugly sweater, so cute!!!

  1056. Katie Perkinson says

    For the guys in my life, I usually buy clothes for gifts, because they love a little help from the ladies in the fam! For my fiancé in particular, we don't usually buy each other tangible Christmas presents, instead we spend the money on fun experiences, like a little weekend getaway! 🙂

  1057. Stacy says

    I always bought my dad a new wallet or hat for Christmas! My go to gifts for my husband are hats, new clothes, anything golf related, tools, shoes, or whatever else he is into or needs that year! He's pretty easy to please 🙂

  1061. Meagan Smith says

    I have my eye on a pair of new slippers to keep me cozy this holiday while I eat bake/eat all of your pumpkin desserts! 😉 Thanks so much for another great giveaway.

  1062. Sarah Goldsberry says

    I like to give the guys some nice clothing that I know they wouldn't go out and buy themselves or tickets to an event that they would enjoy.

  1064. Carla Latona says

    my favorite thing to give the guys for christmas is flannel! because who doesn't love a good flannel shirt?!

    I love to give my guy crazy gadgets that he just won't buy for himself but loves to play with while out shopping.

    Love the glitter studs. I got the hot pink and the turqouise over the summer, but I might have to get the newest.

  1082. Alli Conine says

    My husband and the men in my family love anything for the outdoors: muck boots, hunting gear, etc.

  1084. Michelle says

    I love to give guys small electronic gadgets, such as wireless speakers, phone chargers, or USB drives.

  1092. Melissa Joseph says

    I think it's better to give an experience than a thing when it comes to guys. They don't get excited about stuff……

  1102. Lindsey Hiatt says

    My favorite gift I am giving to my man this year is a new pair of dress shoes (Cole haun's) for when he begins physical therapy school!

  1108. Ali says

    I find the men in my life very intimidating to shop for… My dad died when I was 12 and all I remember ever buying him was a different tie from the dollar store for every occasion/holiday! ? Plus all I had were sisters!
    My husband has been needing some new dress shoes so I think we will go with that. Maybe a new Cowboys shirt or jersey, too!

  1109. My Life As a Single Mother says

    I always give the guys a toy. One year it was marshmallow guns. One year it was a juggling kit.

  1115. Tracey Russell says

    Love, love those earrings! My hubs loves anything hunting related…..I don't see much of him this time of year…lol!

  1117. Ashley says

    I love to gift guys with things I know they'd never buy themselves: a really great winter hat or gloves, the video game they've been eyeing for months. But I also like to throw in practical things: a really cozy sweatshirt!

  1118. Angele says

    I love to get the guys in my life any type of gadget, tool, or electronic. They seem to appreciate new clothes and all the manly accessories but what guys face doesn't light up at the sight of a new gadget, tool or electronic! Love, love this season of the year and really love your giveaways! 🙂

  1119. Marshall Madness says

    Love the glitter earrings! My favorite gift to give the guys in my life… tools. They can't ever seem to have enough and they always want more.

  1121. Karen says

    We buy the guys in our lifes tools…lots of tools. They are always a fixin' something in our 100+ yr old house.

  1125. Karen says

    In our life we get our guys tools….lots of tools…as they are always a fixin' something in our 100+ yr old house.

  1126. Savannah Leigh says

    I need some of those Kate Spade glitter earrings in my life! They are adorable. For the men in my life I like to give sweaters and cologne (:

  1127. Kassi says

    The guys are tough! I try to get things they need or something they have asked for…. this year, my fiance is getting a new watch so he can quit wearing the one that no longer works

  1128. Angela Banae says

    I love giving my hubby a great sweater…he loves the 1/4 zip sweaters from The North Face. Love the earrings, too!! xo Angela Banae

  1131. Unknown says

    Love getting the guys leather goods! I've found so many custom shops that will add a monogram, and who doesn't love a monogram (even guys)?! 🙂

  1134. Paige Lombardo says

    I like the idea of giving house shoes for men! I think they al want hem but never buy them for themselves!

  1138. Lauren Schumann says

    Love buying my husband cold weather gear to replace the items that he has used for centuries!

  1144. Chrisandra says

    You should probably wear those jeans and that reindeer sweater every day of December! It is the cutest!

  1148. Kelly Devault says

    I am getting married soon and would love to give the Kate Spade studs to my bridesmaids! How fun would that be?

  1155. Kim says

    Thanks for the chance to win!! I usually give the guys on my list tools, movies or t-shirts. Happy Holidays!!

  1162. Sally Spencer says

    Gifting to the men in my life is always so challenging! I typically stick to slippers or North Face half zip pull overs. Your idea of great North Face gloves has me inspired to change my ways!

  1167. Lisa R. says

    Well this sounds super lame…BUT…typically it's gift cards for my Dad and brother. That way they can get what they want. For the hubs it's usually cologne and spiffing up his wardrobe 😉 Have a great weekend!!!

  1168. Anna-Grace Pryor says

    Shay, your face has been GLOWING lately!! A new skin care regimen or is life just good!?? Either way, lookin good Mama!

  1179. MrsBees says

    I love to give quirky gifts that speak to their personality and say "I've been paying attention".

  1186. Monica Thompson says

    I like to give the guys in my life a really cool gadget/tool, but for my husband, I usually give cologne, a nice scarf/gloves or a really nice watch.

    Love that not so "ugly" sweater! I think you should keep the other one too……that one could be your "ugly" winter sweater! It's so cute! Have fun decorating your house today! Can't wait to see! 🙂

  1187. Becky says

    My favorite gifts for the men in my life are shaving fits, and tech gadgets, and items to help their golf games!

  1188. Grant Happy says

    Typically, my guy doesn't give me a hint of what he wants so he ends up with whatever my daughter and I pick out … but this year, he has a list! WOO HOO! So a fit bit will be in his stocking!

  1189. Sami says

    I love buying my guy new warm flannel shirts.. he looks great in them and thinks of me when he wears them 🙂

  1190. Ferrell Boys Mom says

    The best thing to give men or boys in Mississippi is anything camo! And if not camo, then tools! Love your blog!

  1192. Lindsay in Shanghai says

    I love getting tickets to a sporting event they love or a concert they've always wanted to see. Something with a big surprise factor is always so fun!
    Lindsay Fraser – not in Shanghai. Can't seem to edit that (used to live in China) would love to adopt from there one day too!

  1193. Mrs W says

    I like to give my husband something sports related. He's a total sports nut and he always has a running list of things he would like so it's not too hard to shop for him, just expensive. Ha ha!

  1194. Morgan Kennedy says

    I always love to see your Friday favorites! They are such great ideas for holiday shopping.

  1195. Christina de KAM says

    My favorite gift to give guys I pretty much anything from Lowes or Home Depot!! My hubby is a huge collector of any type of power tool!!!

  1196. Shelby says

    I love all of these!! And I love that you are decorating for Christmas today!! So fun!! Will you come to my house next?!!! Have a great day!

  1197. Debbie D says

    My husband is an avid reader, so I like to get him his newest book wish or a gift card so he can stock up on new books. I like to get my dad slippers and coffee! Love your blog!!!

  1199. Steph36000 says

    My favorite gift to give my husband is slippers. He wears them all the time at home, so I usually get him a new pair every year since they get worn out!

  1200. Emily Odom says

    OBSESSED with Kate Spade earrings. They are always so simple and fun. They are most definitely going on my Christmas list for all of my favorite girlies this year. Thank you for all of your recommendations!

  1202. Jackie says

    My go to gifts for guys are usually gift cards. Guys in my family are pretty content and hardly ever ask for anything! Although, I'm pretty sure my husband would appreciate a pair of slippers!

  1205. Bri's Blog Journal says

    Guys can sometimes be the hardest to shop for- I usually get something golf or Apple related for my hubs, and my dad and bros gift cards. 🙂

  1207. Ellepore says

    I like to give guys an electronic gadget they've had their eye on, or something outdoorsy! Gave my boyfriend a new tent last year because he loves camping and we went somewhere new almost every summer weekend 🙂

  1208. The Groves Family says

    We have hunters in our house,so we usually end up buying something helping in that area 😉

  1210. Emily Odom says

    OBSESSED with the Kate Spade earrings. They are all so fun and festive. Definitely going on my Christmas list for all of my favorite girlies this year!

  1213. Sarah Shapleigh says

    My favorite gift to give guys is something leather with a monogram – because they will use it all the time but I know it's not something they would get themselves 🙂

  1214. Kelli Herrington says

    those glitter studs are on my Christmas list I am in love
    Christmas sweater on point lol

  1215. Kristen says

    I love to give my guy something a little techie or some tool he has been wishing for, but it's usually a small random treat he loves the most!

  1216. Pam Saltmarsh says

    Super excited about the glitter studs! And I love how you labeled your Christmas storage box. So fun to have those memories in the years to come! :):):)

  1217. Kristy says

    Boys ARE hard to buy for! For my hubby, anything related to the University of Tennessee or technology is a hit, but for the other guys in my life, it's a little more challenging. Winter weather accessories are a great idea!

  1220. Meagan Satterfield says

    I love giving experiences. Whether it be a trip somewhere he has been wanting to go or concert tickets, the possibility is endless!

  1221. Maci Sparkman says

    Love the earrings! Definitely going to look into investing into a pair (or more) 😉 thanks for sharing!

  1225. Maci Sparkman says

    Love the earrings! Definitely going to look into investing into a pair (or more) 😉 thanks for sharing!

  1226. Tarah Sanford says

    I love giving my husband tickets to do something he enjoys… particularly if it's something he'll do that I don't want to do! (like Nascar tickets that he can do with a friend and leave me at home!)

  1229. V @ X-tremely V says

    Those black earrings! LOVE! I might need them for myself 😉 And now I think that light up sweater is calling my name as well!

  1230. Jessica Glynn says

    The guys in my life all love sports! So my favorite gift to give (it's a splurge though!) are tickets to a sporting event.. I surprised my hubby with season tickets for his favorite NBA team for his 30th bday and scored major cool wife points!

  1232. vanillafrog says

    My favorite thing to buy my dad is music, for my husband I like to buy something he won't spend money on for himself…usually new clothes, a razor, or something to go along with whatever he's currently into.

  1239. The Langer Family says

    I love giving anything camouflage or has something to do with hunting as gifts for the guys in our family!

  1240. A. Nugent says

    Love the earrings! I've been looking for some easy gifts for friends. Those are perfect.

    Hilarious sweater! I saw some pretty decent looking ugly Christmas sweaters at our Fred Meyer over here on the west coast (Maybe its Kroger there…not sure). The reindeer sweater looked almost similar, but had one a pair of glasses too.

  1245. Ashley Swanson says

    The guys in my life would prefer some type of tool or hunting stuff…but I never know what to buy! Those slippers would make a great gift!

  1246. Julia Miller says

    The perfect gift for my dad is always something UCLA related. He can never have to many shirts, hats, and GAMEDAY accessories.

  1248. Audrey Fan says

    I love giving the guys in my life comfy house shoes, or some sort of Tech gadget. Love your blog! 🙂

  1249. SuellenLong says

    I want all of the glitter earrings! LOVE! I typically give the guys things they need or things I've heard them say they wish they had. My boyfriend is into sports, so far I have him a new leather golf bag and new under armour golf shoes. My brothers are music fanatics so anything music related (music, concert shirts, etc).

  1250. Kim says

    Everyone in our family makes an Amazon Wishlist. It makes Christmas shopping sooo easy (especially for the guys!)

  1253. Linda Wang says

    Growing up with 4 sisters and 1 brother, it was quite easy to shop for my brother, expecially because all he wanted was video games and those point cards (1 year membership card) for his games. So, every Christmas, I buy the newest video game that was released. Now that he is older and he realized that video games are not always important (and because he has a lot already), I started buying him those Polo quarter zip sweaters and he LOVES them! I also bought one for my best guy friend and he loves it, too! For my dad, my sisters and I always give him things that has to do with wine and "gambling" (funny because he doesn't gamble at all) For example, we got him the mini roulette plate with 4 shot glasses that are attach to the side of the plate. I love buying guys things that they will use and things that they enjoy.

  1256. Jenny Brady says

    I'm a terrible gift giver for the guys…I mean TERRIBLE. If I can, I try to find tickets to some sort of sporting event or concert.

  1265. Kelly Wolf says

    I just love your blog, love Nordstroms, and those super cute glitter earrings that I'm trying to decide what color to get as we speak. Gift for guys: I usually like to find out their passion/hobby and go from there.

  1271. Kelly Wolf says

    Love your blog and love the glitter earrings. I'm currently trying to decide what color I want. It's hard because I want them ALL. haha — Guy Gifts: I usually figure out their hobby/passion and go from there. 🙂

  1274. Donna Houser says

    I absolutely love the Kate Spade earrings and know my daughters would love to receive them for Christmas!

  1279. Amanda M says

    AH! Those glitter earrings! I can't handle them they are so festival. I definitely will buy my Dad some slippers because he goes through them so quick in a year. My brother needs one of those scarfs or beanies because he is a creature of cozy comfort!

  1280. Hanging with the Hirsts says

    It's so hard shopping for my hubby because he's so techy. Now that we own a house, he wants all sorts of tools 🙂

  1283. Shannon says

    So many great favorites, I love the ugly sweaters!!! I'm definitely buying one if I win the gift card 😉
    I love giving gift cards and cologne to my man. Guys are so hard to buy for and these two are always a hit!

  1284. Anonymous says

    I like getting my boyfriend sweatshirts (cause he lives in them from November-March), movies, or tickets to sporting events. I like getting my dad winter accessories, tools, etc! Love those Kate spade earrings…. Might have to put some on my Christmas list 🙂

  1293. Mrs. Barnes says

    A new wallet! My hubby seriously goes through a wallet every year. Always a fun stocking stuffer!

  1294. Jessica Herron says

    I always get my husband some new winter hats for the holidays! He works outside a lot and is constantly misplacing them and always needs new ones!

  1298. Lauren Duvall says

    Hunting or car related gifts are usually the go-to choices for the men in my life. Or some new workout clothes and nice button down shirts make the list too.

  1299. Lindsay says

    I love gifting the men in my lives jackets like north face that are easy and comfortable 🙂 Love the sweater!!

  1301. Susan says

    My guy doesn't like gifts too much, but I write letters of appreciation to him and he loves those. 🙂

  1304. Amanda Lancaster says

    I had the jeans on backorder, and just called and got a price adjustment- saved $22! Thanks for the heads-up on the sale! Woohoo!

  1309. Danielle Reyes says

    I love giving the guys in my life vests! They love putting solid colored vests over flannels!

  1310. Roberta says

    My favorite gift is some kind of big kid toy–remote control cars, die cast models of cars, etc. All men are just little boys at heart so I always try to find one fun toy.

  1312. Marnie Johnson says

    i love to give the guys in my life clothes, shoes, or watches! practical thing they'll use!

  1314. Brittany Leonard says

    Well… looks like I'll be heading to Nordstrom today… I'm pretty sure I need an ugly Christmas sweater…or 2… or 4.

  1319. Brady Wilhelm says

    I'm going to hope somebody gives me those glitter studs for Christmas! And I give the guys in my life bluetooth speakers! They love them!

  1323. Bethanne says

    Oh those glittery kate spades………! Eeeeek! Also loving the hats/scarves/slippers ideas! We're going to be needing those here in upstate NY like ASAP. LOL. 🙂

  1324. Cristina David says

    I love giving my guys (Hubby, Dad, and FIL) their favorite treats, whether they be hand made or store bought. Hubby is getting homemade brownies baked in an edge-only pan because he just adores brownie corners!

  1327. Erik Humpherys says

    I love following you! Your kids are the cutest & your recipes are the yummiest! Kate spade earrings are my fave!

  1330. Chandler @ AllPrecious&Pleasant says

    I love giving my husband something stylish to wear, something practical and something funny or goofy! Gift buying for my hubs is one of my favorite things!

  1332. Emily H. says

    I always end up getting my husband clothes because he'll never shop for clothes for himself. I am a fellow "lumberjack" and I love your blog!

  1335. Stephanie Jennings says

    Hubby is into Under Armour this year, so probably that. I was also thinking of getting him a fit bit, but I don't know if he'll use it. It's so much more fun to shop for women!! Have a great weekend 🙂

  1336. Alicia Rowland says

    I'm pretty boring and go the route of necessities- socks, tshirts, boxers! Haha fun stuff!!

  1337. Cassie says

    I love giving tech gifts to guys, even cheap stuff like new chargers or phone covers. At least they'll use it!! ?

  1341. Briana Runde says

    Honestly, I let My Hunter man take care of all the guy gifts because he knows better than I. 🙂 For the grandpas we usually do something fun from the grandkids though.

  1342. Lisa says

    The guys in my life are my husband and dad so I like to give them something my children made or pictures of the kids

  1344. Leah McPherson says

    He is always the hardest to buy for and always the last complete! This year I planned early and got him tickets to the Alamo Bowl but he would definitely love a new North Face jacket along with a beanie and gloves!

  1348. Desirae Prado says

    We don't really exchange gifts at Christmas… But we love giving eachother new cozy Jammie's! He is a thermal type man and I think I've given him every pair of jammies you've suggested on my list! Hahaha! Love our little tradition!

  1351. danielle says

    I get my dad clothing- that man needs it, heavens knows he wont get any for himself unless you count the bright orange fake fir cowboy hat he got himself for Halloween… sigh… my mom puts up with a lot.

  1352. Megan says

    One of my 2016 New Year's Resolutions is to be more organized about cards/birthday presents for people — buying something as adorable as the Kate Spade earrings in "bulk" is such a great idea! Who wouldn't love those?!

  1359. Sarah says

    Those earrings are the. best. earrings. ever. I love your confidence in rocking the "ugly" Christmas sweater! Thanks for the fun giveaways!

    I LOVE that "ugly" Christmas sweater are back! Thank you Nordstrom! And thank you both for the giveaway!!!

  1370. Ali Bishop says

    I went to check out with the earrings and they are not ringing up 25% off… only the pink ones do! Do we need a code?

  1371. Lindsay at Lindsay'sSweetWorld says

    That Christmas sweater is awesome!! Hahahaha. My 4 year old and 20 month old would die of happiness if Mommy wore something like that!

  1372. Caitlin Ressel says

    I love those Kate Spade earrings and know my mom and sister in law would too! I would love to win the nordstrom gift card for Christmas Shopping!

  1375. Nicole Deterding says

    The guys in my life are all about fishing so I usually give something related to that and clothes for my husband. I need those glitter studs! And my kids would think I was the best mom ever with that light up Christmas sweater!!

  1376. Kelly says

    I LOVE the sparkle studs!! and I have to say, the UGG slippers are amazing! I'm asking for a second pair for Christmas!

  1378. Karlee Webster says

    I like to get guys in my life something they wouldnt normally buy for themselves like clothes/belts/etc. I like for my kids to make stuff, anything rustic, and things out of the ordinary.

  1380. Wendy says

    I love to give my guys gift cards! To the sports store, golf store…whatever it is they always love it.

  1382. Jessica Smith says

  1383. Katie Neff says

    Love all your favorites but the slippers are definitely a no-brainer for my dad, fiancé, and brother this year! Thanks:)

  1384. Kim in RI says

    We don't do big gifts anymore but I like to give cozy – robes, slippers, sweats, hats, gloves, scarves, comfy and cozy anything.

  1386. Kim says

    I'd love the gift card. I don't have a Nordstrom near me, but I have ordered online from them. Love them!

  1387. Emily R. says

    So exciting that you are decorating for Christmas today!! I am a fellow Christmas- lover and plan to put our decorations up next Sunday 🙂 YAY for the most wonderful time of the year!

    I love giving the guys in my life
    an iTunes card (because we love music) and comfy pj's for lounging at home on cold winter days!

  1395. The Lindquist Family says

    I love to give the guys in my life things to use for their hobbies. Golf stuff for golf guys, football stuff for football guys, etc.

  1396. Lauren says

    Something he would never buy for himself – either a gadget or piece of clothing he really wants 🙂

  1399. Amy King says

    I love to give the guys in my life an iTunes card (we love music) and comfy pj's for lounging on cold winter days!

  1400. Romi Q says

    The earrings are adorable, I love to give my husband the unexpected gift, like a trip or a new computer or watch.

  1402. Liz says

    I usually get my husband and dad golf and biking gear. I got the Fleece Navidad ugly sweater last week! I love it! Is it too soon to start wearing it?? My kids, 6 and 8, still think it's cool ; D

  1404. Leigh (Balancing By Faith) says

    Love the glitter studs!! Can I buy myself a Christmas gift?? We are making your Taco Soup next week – first cold week of the season and I can't wait!!

  1405. Melissa D. says

    Every year I make my husband a desk calendar with pictures of our kids, then he gets to see their smiling faces all day long while he's at work! Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  1412. Jennifer Serra says

    I've started Christmas shopping and I think I need to order a few pairs of the Kate spade earrings for gifts! Thanks for sharing!

  1413. Ashley says

    I love to give my husband clothes for Christmas! He's so easy to shop for and I have fun finding him things I think he will love!

  1418. Corrie says

    My favorite gift to give the guys for Christmas is pajamas. I feel like it's something they could always use and I love the new plaid ones out right now!!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!

  1419. ashlie82 says

    My guy is an avid cyclist, so I usually give any a lot of bike stuff…some big and some small!!

  1420. Stephanie says

    what kind of posts are the earrings? I have become super sensitive to all things gold – it's driving me nuts!

  1422. Morgan Scott says

    I am practicing so much self control with those Kate Spade studs. I went out and bought the pink ones from your last post. Wear the ALL.THE. TIME. 🙂

    As far as gifts for guys I love getting them clothes or their favorite cologne. My dad loves to cook so anything I can add to his collection he loves too! I always sometimes try to get them something I know they want, but won't spend the money on.

  1431. Heather says

    My husband and I give each other things we both want…the past two years it's been Disney trips!!! 🙂

  1434. Amanda Warner says

    Gift cards are always appreciated by the men on my life. Especially to restaurants (chick fil a!) Hubby doesnt love receiving clothes bc he thinks its a waste. So strange!

  1438. amanda young says

    I so enjoy reading your blog!!! Thank you for the awesome recipes and the great "busy mom" tips! 🙂 I have three boys in my life – my hubby and two sons! My husband loves anything related to his favorite sports teams & bible theology books, my oldest son is all in to cars right now – plays with them constantly, and my littlest boy is only 2 months old, so he's the easiest to buy for! 😉

  1441. Trish White says

    My dad always links getting consumables that have to do with cooking…good olive oils, interesting spices or salts, etc.

  1445. Jen says

    When it comes to the men, I usually get a gift card (boring, I know). Under Armour is always a hit with my husband though!

  1446. Katie Oman says

    Love Kate Spade glitter studs…this fall I took your advice and bought a bunch for fall birthday presents as well 🙂 They were a hit with my family and friends!! I totally want the reindeer sweater – hoping it will go on sale 🙂

  1448. tswoodall says

    I've never won anything in my life! Lol! I could really use some fall clothes! I've recently lost 25+ pounds and nothing fits anymore! I have been so in love with your blog since before Ashby arrived. You are a true inspiration and beautiful from the inside out ❤️

  1449. Kelsey says

    What I buy for the men in my life just depends on what they are wanting or needing at that time, but gift cards to their favorite places are always a good fall back option.

  1450. Mandie Giedd says

    I like to upgrade my husband's things for Christmas. This year it will be a new computer. 🙂

  1451. Lisa says

    My husband and I like to give each other "adventure" gifts… A trip to a professional sporting game a day full of golf, etc

  1455. Maryann says

    Those earrings are to die for and are a perfect Christmas present that any of my ladies would love to receive!!What great ideas for Men too!

  1456. mark w says

    My man loves getting tools. And for some reason its commenting under his name and I'm not savvy enough to get it changed… this is Rachel W though.

  1460. SalBug says

    I like to give tools, like a Leatherman multi-tool, a small flashlight, a cool multi-screw driver set…

  1463. Erin S says

    Love the earrings! For guys, I like to give scarves. Is that weird? I feel like giving clothes is too hard – never know what sizes to do for the men in my life!

  1468. Laura says

    I love giving silly patterned boxers for Christmas! Gap and Banana Republic usually have great ones!

  1473. Wannie says

    Love those Kate Spade stud earrings! But when I added them to the cart, it remained at $38… doesn't the 25% apply automatically? 🙁

  1476. Brandon and Brianne says

    Love giving silly gift like toys to the men in my life. Remote control cars, nerf guns, Lego sets… It's always a hit with my husband and his brothers. They "play" all day 🙂

  1482. Kacie says

    Every year I give my husband a plane ornament from Hallmark's "Sky's the Limit" series. He has his private pilot's license and loves seeing which plane is featured each year!

  1484. Megan Shedd says

    For the guy in my life, I love gifting him a new tool that he needs/doesn't have or any sort of outdoor/hiking clothing/gear.

  1488. Rhonda says

    Those studs are great! My man is always up for new dress clothes. He gets tired of wearing the same ones to work over and over

  1491. Neha Sodha says

    Out here in SoCal, scarves aren't as necessary lol. Cologne or a watch is always a standard for our dad and my Bf…except the year my Mom told me I picked out a cologne that she loves on my dad..#fail #dontknowwhattoeventhink ::Sigh:: Love you all! Hope you have the best of holidays! 🙂

  1492. StephVicM says

    Those Kate Spade studs are everything! My favorite gift to give fellas is either socks, (I know they're way overgifted (?) but I've been around too many guys with hole-y socks) or some new headphones or techy thing. If all else fails you can never go wrong with pajamas.

  1493. The Seidel Family says

    Shutterfly photo books! He loves when I take pictures but never sees them again unless I make him a book!

  1498. Adrienne Grogan says

    The guys in my life are always hard to shop for. Last year my favorite guy gifts I gave were jcrew factory's flannels and waffle shirts, so cozy!

  1502. Katherine Grohs says

    I'm getting ready for a job interview and could use a new suit! Entering the real world so much fun…

  1503. Kaci says

    I totally ordered that "ugly" Christmas sweater, too! So excited to see it on!! I can't wait to get mine!!

  1506. Lauren says

    What is your favorite gift to give the guys in your life for Christmas?
    For my man, he LOVES tools and anything that will keep him in the garage 😉 So I try to stick to Lowes for him. For other family, man, it's just hard shopping for the men!! And they probably feel the same about us! 😉
    But totally getting those glitter earrings!! Thanks for sharing! I mentioned you in my blog earlier this week/last week. I made your pumpkin cinnamon rolls and they are so delicious!!! Thank you for your amazing blog! I read it every day!

  1508. Sheena Hair says

    I love the earrings! We don't have a Nordstrom nearby so I have never shopped there but I could do some online shopping!
    I usually get the guys in my life tools! My husband is a farmer, my father-in-law is a farmer, my dad is a maintenance man for Duracell, and my step-dad works construction. So they all need some type of tool all the time!!
    By the way, I have never commented, but I love your blog!

  1509. Mallory Kipf says

    I always struggle with what to get the men in my life so I'm anxious to read these comments!

  1514. sam :) says

    the earrings…all heart eyes over here! definitely going to be buying today to give as teacher/babysitter gifts!!

  1516. Lisa says

    Love to stock up on gifts at Nordstrom… as a Seattle resident, Nordstrom is always a must. Kendra Scott has been my go-to item to stock up on this year…on sale now at Nordstrom

  1517. Jenn Webster says

    I love to give my guy comfy sweatpants for Christmas. He loves to lounge in them at home…and I like him to look good doing so. 😉

  1519. Melanie Cantelmo says

    I like to give my husband a watch and some fun socks. He really loves G-Show watches and I really like Grand Seiko – we usually shop at azfinetime.com. I also like to get him the Happy Socks from Nordstrom.

  1521. The Acuff's says

    I have such a hard timing buying gifts for my husband, brothers, dad… Thank you for your suggestions! I usually go for something sports related, like a shirt for their favorite team or tickets to a game, etc. 🙂

  1524. Kelly says

    I try to be creative in what I get for my husband (gifts is one of his love languages), but a good cologne or pair of slippers are always appreciated.

  1525. Michelle B says

    My husband and I always come up with a creative date night (not just going out to eat) and I wrap up clues for the date!

  1526. Charlotte Kreines says

    I always end up giving guys sweaters! My dad, brother, close friends, cousins… I love guys fashion and half the time wish I could wear their clothes, so any chance I get to pick some out… I'm all for it!

  1527. Jordan K says

    My husband has a freakish love of tshirts, so while I wouldn't say it's my favorite thing to buy him… It's more tradition and I do love those!

  1533. Kari Maddox says

    I give out the KS studs for birthday gifts as well! I will be making several Girlfriend Christmas gifts this year those blue sparkly one are for REAL!

  1534. Skye says

    That sweater is so cute! My kids would love it!!! 🙂 My husband would think I had lost my mind.

    My favorite gifts for my husband – his music stuff. He's a professional musician so guitars, microphones, guitar strings, etc are my go to. He hates when we buy him clothes because he's so picky. Haha!

  1535. Sydney Ingram says

    Shopping for the guys is always the hardest for me!! I don't have any boys yet but for my husband you can never go wrong with shoes 🙂

  1536. Greta says

    First of all, Shay, I love your blog! It's usually the first thing I look at in the morning. And for the guys in my life, I love to give slippers/moccasins! You can never go wrong with those, everybody loves to have their feet nice and cozy warm!

  1542. L R Gavilanes says

    I love to get him something practical (underwear, socks etc) and something he'd never buy for himself (nice leather travel bag, passport case)…

  1544. Marcela Rodriguez says

    I would say my favorite item to give to my guy in my life would be a watch or some nice shirts 🙂

  1545. Kari says

    The guys in my life are SUPER hard to shop for. My husband only ever wants parts to whatever he's interested in building. Right now it's a shotgun. Before that was a bike. Before that was an amp. :/ Not fun to buy! The little guy in my life is easy to buy for though. 😉 This year is all about Thomas.

  1547. Heather says

    Love the gray UGG slippers-my feet are always cold! I'm obsessed with the But First Coffee sweatshirt!! You always have such cute ideas!!

  1550. Karen Ward says

  1552. Erin and Corey says

    I love the glitter studs! I have a pair and will be getting some for my family for Christmas as well! Love your blog and your love for Christmas too!!

  1553. Jen says

  1554. Karina Longinidis says

    He's a gadget sort of guy – basic essentials are also good. He has a particular taste, so normally buys his own clothes 😉

  1561. Katie says

    My hubby is a music guy so I like to find concert tickets for him which also leads to a fun date for us!

  1566. She's a big star says

    I pride myself in being a good gift giver!! For the guys in my life I'm all about buying something practical that they'll enjoy. A new North Face fleece, summer clothes for my Dad who goes South in the winter… stuff that they might not splurge on for themselves but that they'll enjoy and use!

  1570. Evelyn Nieto says

    Men are definitely the hardest to give gifts to! I usually do house shoes. Simple yet everyone needs them! 🙂

  1572. Kelly says

    I love to give my husband restaurant gift cards. We don't get to go out much, but he loves to take us (me and the kids) out. So a restaurant card is actually a-okay with him! 🙂

  1573. Stephanie McKinnon says

    I just LOVE that "ugly" sweater!!!? And those earrings would be high priority if I were the lucky winner. Happy Friday the 13th!

  1575. Hannah Brown says

    I love giving the guys in my family nice button-down shirts. It's something that they might not always invest in for themselves, but they look great!

  1576. Twins! says

    I plan on reading all of these guy gift comments because I always struggle with that! Usually my husband and I do experiences together but I am always looking for ideas for my father and brother!

  1577. Annie says

    How awesome! Thank you for the giveway. I bought a pair of the glitter studs for my SIL's birthday and she loved them! Always a good choice 🙂

  1580. KP says

    So many of the ugly holiday sweaters out there are so cute I'm not sure if I can wear them out or not!

  1583. Jessica Richard says

    LOVE the Kate Spade studs … If I win the gift card … those WILL be purchased!! So cute.

  1592. Alyssa says

    My hubby loves music and books, so I usually try to get him a book and a cd, but I also love getting him cologne!

  1593. Trent and Richelle says

    I always buy my Dad a tool of some sort- he tells me which one he wants and where to buy it. Easy Peasy! My husband likes outdoor equipment and ties. Lots of ties. Thanks for the giveaway!

  1597. Becky Campbell says

    Love that reindeer sweater! my husband and I don't give a lot to each other at Christmas but I always like to sneak in a Starbucks gift card for him

  1598. Jessie W. says

    I love to give my sweet hubby new clothes and shoes. This year, we are moving up north so he will need some new warm clothes!

  1599. Carrissa Brown says

    Ugh, I hate shopping for guys. I feel they are way more difficult that ladies. I usually stick to my usual REI gift card 😉

  1603. Megan Keller Barker says

    I normally get electronics for my husband! That's his favorite thing so I normally get some type of speaker, or tablet or whatever just came out that he thinks is cool!

  1604. Jenn says

    The holidays are always an exciting time of the year. Gift buying can be a little stressful when it comes to the husband. He is a bit picky. However, usually anything mechanically inclined or related to bicycles or coffee are my go to for him. He loves to ride and always drinking coffee. As for girlfriends my go to gifts are nail polish, sbux giftcards or coffee mugs, and pjs. I am loving all the PJs you have been posting about. For my parents books are the best gifts for them. Plus my mom and I swap after we read the ones we got each other. So it like double the presents!

  1605. Jan says

    I like to buy silly things for men like a bug zapper in the shape of a tennis racket or a snowball maker and thrower. I also like getting people items I know they'll use up since everyone in my life has so much stuff (chopped pecans, candies, cookies, jellies, teas, coffee, york peppermint patties because my mom loves them, pickles, fancy hair products, lotions, chapsticks, lipgloss, etc).

  1609. Sophia says

    And i like to gift things that my friends/family will both use but also maybe not get for themselves. My go tos are really nice skincare or makeup items or comfy, cozy items to wear around the house.

  1610. Confessions of a Glamour Junkie says

    My fav gift to give my guy is the sephora fragrance sampler. He loves to try new colognes!

  1612. Bridget Heiple Reich says

    I usually give my husband something he has already picked out or a gift card. He's so hard to buy for!!! A beer making kit would probably be good though.

  1613. Jennifer Jackson says

    Gift cards or concert tickets or a mini get away are my gifts of choice for my favorite men! I love the Kate Spade earrings! Can't wait to wear the opal ones!!

  1622. Erin says

  1629. Nancy Belfeld says

    For the men in my life, I usually buy some type of clothing, or if I see some new gadget that would interest them I get that.

  1631. tpatters5 says

    I like to get a practical gift and an indulgent gift. So snuggily slippers and a piece of golf equipment or an experience like the year I got him a spot in NASCAR driving school at Daytona. It's iconic even if you don't follow racing. Plus you get a trip to FL. ?. Tracipatterson55@yahoo.com

  1633. Michelle Shang says

    Love Kate spade! I made your chocolate chip cookie dough Neimann Marcus bars the other day and brought them to work, everyone absolutely loved them! So delicious! 🙂

  1640. Britney says

    I just lost my job and could really use this for Christmas gifts. I love you and your blog and your recipes!

  1642. Sara says

    We typically don't exchange gifts at holidays or birthdays. We like to plan trips throughout the year so that's our gift to ourselves. It's how we reconnect and just enjoy life!

  1644. P Grimm says

    So many things to choose from at Nordstrom! Maybe even gifts for my favorite guys…or not. All things tech are always hits here!

  1646. Angela Tilberg says

    My favorite gift to give the guys in my life is socks. They are inexpensive, fun and everyone needs them!

  1707. skmanning says

    Ugh! There are no favorite things to give the guys in my family! What they like is so expensive! So much easier to buy little stuff for girls.

  1708. Christina Westbrooks says

    I'm not sure if I have just one favorite! I always meticulously plan my gifts and try to make them unconventionalsomething everyone else isn't going to buy.

  1709. Ashley says

    The jeans, the KS studs, the slippers, the jackets….so many options to spend the gift card on! Thank you so much for the chance to win! Can't wait to see your house decked out for Christnas!

  1728. Steph C says

  1729. jazzy says

    those earrings are so pretty! But… I don't have my ears pierced yet, but this is a good excuse to! I'm already 17 and I guess I just never got around to it hahaha! My favorite thing to give guys…depends. For my brother I like to give him CDs or movies or sweaters cause that's what he is into. for my dad, he likes anything really so I like to get him warm essentials because it's cold here in Seattle 🙂

    I suck at giving guys presents… I should read some of these comments to get ideas 🙂 this year I am getting my fiancé a fitbit!

    Experiences! Whether it's a football game, hockey game, concert, etc. The memories last forever 🙂 …that being said, I'd love a pair of those studs instead of tickets to a game!!

  1751. Chrissy G says

    As for Christmas gifts for my hubby….staples that he never buys himself: underwear and socks! He spoils himself the rest of the year:)

  1894. giginpink says

    Things I always buy my husband are fun character boxers or sleep pants (Snoopy is my favorite) and a flashlight. Other favorites for my guys are sports shirts/caps or books, hunting gear or tools. Regardless – they are hard to buy for! Why can't they like candles, jewelry, purses or scarves?!?!

  1896. Becky says

    I'm always at a loss for my guy. He always wants books and I keep wanting something more exciting, but books is usually it!

  1901. Jenny Rose says

    My poor hubby always gets a new wallet each Christmas- he's never surprised by this guaranteed gift. 😉

  1914. Brooke Wiegand says

    Always love your Friday Favorites Shay!

    I recently purchased a medium sized wooden box for my husband's birthday and had his initials engraved on it. He's able to put his watches, wallet, keys, etc. in it. I suppose it's a man's version of a jewelry box. Anyway, he loves it! I think it would be a great gift for any special guy of yours!

  1920. Rachel says

    My favorite gift to give my man is clothes that he wouldn't normally pick out for himself-but looks so good in!! It's always fun because usually he's pleasantly surprised!

  1926. JenniferW says

    Guys… they're hard to shop for. My husband loves getting cds, but I wouldn't say they're my favorite ti buy!

  1929. Ashley Ryan says

    My go to gift for the guys in my life is usually clothes or shoes because I feel like they usually don't buy those things for themselves!

  1932. allishaw says
