*Disclosure- I received a credit to Tommy John in exchange for a mention in a post. My Husband LOVES his new shirts, and I only share my honest opinions.*<\/em><\/p>\n Valentine\u2019s Day is right around the corner. I get off lightly at Christmas, because we don\u2019t really buy each other gifts- but I have the HARDEST to buy for Husband on the planet. He NEVER\u00a0gives me any ideas\u00a0as to what he might like as a gift. While I\u2019m basically pointing out everything I want and dropping hints like it\u2019s my job.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve given up on trying to find the perfect, personal gift- and now I stick with the practical. My Hubby hates to spend money splurging on every day items. But, as his wife, it\u2019s my job to kinda keep him clean and clothed\u2026I guess.<\/p>\n I thought that by sharing some of my Hubby\u2019s current favorite skincare and clothing items, it might give you some practical gift ideas for the man in your life.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Skincare items always make a great, practical gift. Especially more specialty ones- like scrubs, wipes, serums, etc. I\u2019ve been buying my Hubby this Everyone Soap<\/a> because it\u2019s multi-purpose and triples as body wash, shampoo, and shave gel. He can just keep this in the shower and he\u2019s all set. I love the Cedar-Citrus scent for him, and have been using the unscented one for myself as a bubble bath and body wash.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Acure\u2019s Brilliantly Brightening Facial Scrub<\/a> (which now has re-branded packaging) is a house favorite around here. My Husband loves to use it whenever he showers, because he likes a nice exfoliating cleanse. And I borrow {steal}<\/em>\u00a0 it once or twice a week as part of my skincare routine. It never hurts to buy him a gift that you can enjoy as well- am I right?<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Have a partner who loves craft beer? Then, why not have it in your skincare ritual as well? This Mug & Mane Lotion from Broo<\/a> has been my Hubby\u2019s grooming product of choice ALL YEAR<\/strong>. Again, it\u2019s multipurpose and can be both a face moisturizer as well as a light hold hair styling product- can you even get more practical than that?! I even like the corresponding shampoos! They\u2019re always releasing new products to their line-up, and are sold at Wal Mart (which makes them so easy to come by!).<\/p>\n <\/a>This product may be for the slightly more extra<\/em>, practical gift receiver, but my Hubby loves them! He\u00a0keeps these Ursa Major Face Wipes<\/a> in his desk for when his skin is feeling extra greasy or dry from hanging around the office all day. They\u2019re unisex too, so you can grab a few for yourself as well. That\u2019s a win-win!<\/p>\n And if skincare is not his forte- men ALWAYS<\/strong> need clothes! Have you seen that Seinfeld skit where he says men literally wear underwear until it turns to dust and it can float away off the windowsill? I find that to be totally true.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s why I got my Husband a couple of these Cool Cotton Crew Neck Stay Tucked Undershirts from Tommy John<\/a>. He wears an under shirt every single day to work, so I am constantly washing them. You can NEVER have too many! And these are some super high-end ones. He loves the fact that they stay tucked (which is perfect on days when he has to wear suits and really dress up) and the material is super light weight. He may get a few more of these for his birthday as well. They also make great underwear<\/a>\u00a0(if your Hubby is like the\u00a0men in the aforementioned skit- mine is!)<\/p>\n Some other decent<\/em> ideas include\u00a0funny\u00a0dress socks,\u00a0snarky coffee mugs, or passes to the golf course. I can\u2019t think of much more than that. Good thing my Hubbs is better at buying gifts than me!<\/p>\n
