Holiday Gift Guide for Men

Vuarnet

It’s that time of year again, if you can believe it. We have gotten an early start on our holiday shopping think you will love this year’s gift guide for him as much as we do its contents.

 

For the stylish guy, who loves the winter outdoors almost as much as he loves sunny summer days, don’t miss Vuarnet’s White Matte 002 sunglasses. The luxury French brand that was hugely popular in the 80s and 90s has re-launched in the United States with a fresh new line that includes the famous 002 frames worn by Jean Vuarnet during the 1960 Olympics while winning the gold medal. We love that this model is made with the same molded nylon construction and still contains the classic SKILYNX bi-shaded mirror lenses to provide excellent protection against sun glare that are signature with the Vuarnet lifestyle brand. These sunglasses come in a variety of colors, including black, navy and white (our favorite). Vuarnet will offer him a comfortable and iconic style this winter season.

 

What guy doesn’t need or want a new wallet this holiday season? Surprise him with the Bellroy Hide & Seek leather wallet. The full grain tanned cow leather is super soft and can hold up to 12 credit or business cards in its four slots. We love the hidden bill section where he can store his larger bills discreetly.

 

Now that the iPhone 6 plus is officially available, the folks at BiteMyApple have designed one of the sleekest cases we have seen. The super slim Special Edition titanium unit is lightweight, lustrous and so thin you can barely even notice it around the phone. We have had similar cases but this one does not cause signal interference or dropped calls. For the guy who loves to combine style with functionality, this is the case for him.

 

If your guy loves the outdoors, don’t miss MindShift Gear’s rotation 180°Travel Away Backpack. For his next adventure, he can ensure all of his valuables are properly secured yet easily accessible. When backpacking through an unfamiliar terrain or in a different country, it’s important to always know where critical items are like your personal identification, guidebooks, cameras and cash. What makes this backpack so unique is just one quick twist, the lower belt pack can be quickly and easily moved to the front for easy accessibility. When he is done, he can rotate it back under the main backpack and secure it into a locked location.

 

For the guy on your list who has everything, we are pretty sure he doesn’t have a COGITO smartwatch. This is not your average analog watch, but when paired up with your smartphone or tablet, you can customize it to see who is calling by checking out the watch face. For someone who is always waiting for an important call, this frees you up from the stresses of having to check your phone all of the time. The COGITO Classic does all of the work for you letting you know who is calling and offering you the option to answer or decline. The water-resistant watch operates with a standard watch battery and can also be programmed to alert you to only the notifications you want, including emails and texts.

 

If he has a large family, your guy will love Grace Digital Audio’s 3-Play Bluetooth audio receiver that allows him to connect up to three different phones simultaneously to your stereo for multiple music playlists. This is the easiest way to share music without having to disconnect devices. It works by plugging into a car or home stereo then having users connect then pressing play on their Bluetooth enabled device. This mobile unit is also ideal if he loves to travel or go on road trips with the family. The rechargeable lithium ion battery can deliver up to 10 hours of playtime music.

 

Sometimes being on the go all the time leaves us disconnected. To ensure that he stays connected at all times, give him Juno Power’s Nova Blox. This power packed palm sized five-ounce battery is small enough to fit into his pocket and is designed to charge any smartphone or tablet. The 4,000 mAh external battery comes in a sleek aluminum shell in silver, gold (our favorite) or gray. It even acts as a high powered LED flashlight.

 

If your guy loves cars as much as ours does, he is going to love Lemur Monitor’s BlueDriver. When that annoying “check engine” light comes on, instead of paying to have the issue diagnosed, this helpful pocket sized unit will do all the work for him. It works on all vehicles that are 1996 or newer by reading the trouble errors and alerting owners to the issue. Vehicle owners can then take the wireless diagnostic reports and email them to your mechanic along with repair recommendations. It’s as simple as downloading the free BlueDriver app and plugging in the unit.

 

Music lovers unite with Soen Audio’s wireless Transit Bluetooth portable speaker that delivers audio clarity in a compact design. Designed with aircraft grade aluminum, this is a rugged speaker that is designed to last. Its lithium-ion battery plays music up to eight hours while the power saving technology maximizes playback time. If he forgets to shut the compact unit off, don’t worry as this smart speaker will automatically put itself into sleep mode when not in use. We love that it can also be used as a hands-free speakerphone.

 

 

For everyday eye protection, we love Arnette’s Smokey Polarized Sunglasses. The satin silver with grey horn on black grey are the perfect complement to any look this season. Our guy loves the classic Aviation square style with stylish metal frame. The sleek arms feature a full rim with 12 degree front curve and are available in a variety of styles, including gunmetal with black or translucent blue.
