A VERY LATE AND LAST MINUTE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR THE LONG TERM CITY BOY/HUBBY IN YOUR LIFE 2019
I created a gift guide for women in my last post. I held on to this one nice and tight because I didn’t want to be called a pick me (yes, I do care about what my girls think), but the reception I received gave me the courage to go ahead and let this one go. I’m a perfectionist and that often leads to a more expensive, thoughtful gift. Ladies, I advise you to be discerning in your Christmas shopping this year. If you haven’t bought his gift already, you’re still on the fence about something. That ain’t none of my business though…
If your man is more than deserving and you’re just a procrastinating ole heifer, below are some gift ideas based on what your boothang likes to do. All of these products can be bought in-store.
HE LIKES TO DRANK…
COOPER & THIEF RED BLEND ($19)
This was recommended by my cousin, Courtney. She is pretty serious about her wine. Follow her on IG @cupofconsuella or on her blog (click the link). This is red wine and bourbon combined.
REMY MARTIN XO ($100) We’re all tired of drinking Hennessy.
Samuel Adams Winter Lager ($13) If he’s a cheap date, then he’s a cheap date…
HE LIKES TO PLAY ON THAT DAMN GAME…
Vilros Raspberry Pi ($99) IYKYK…
Funko POP! Fortnite Loot Llama ($30)
DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller for PS4 ($65)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch ($60) If he doesn’t have the system already, this gift is a dub. This is also not the year to do a 2 in 1.
HE LIKES STUFF THAT NOT TOO MANY OTHER MEN LIKE…
The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates($15)
Benny The Butcher Vinyl ($25) or a cheap ass Griselda WWCD Cover Poster ($11) on Ebay, buy that at your own risk.
Mahogany Teakwood High Intensity Candle ($15–$25), but this one smells a bit deep too.
HE LIKES TO LOOK FLY…
We’re not buying shoes over here. Accessories are equally as drippy.
iPhone 11 Pro Max Leather Case ($50), silicone version ($40) here, Amazon version ($12) for my frugal queens below.
Saint Laurent Pebble Grain Leather Wallet ($385) or a cheaper Zara ($20) version below because I know y’all thought I lost my mind. Don’t let him put anything in your big purse he was just talking shit about, there’s not a shortage of wallets.
TOM FORD Oud Wood ($150), Paco Rabanne’s 1 Million ($70) is for your man who wants to smell good but hasn’t fully tapped into his grown man yet. I had an ex that wore this often, and I would stare at him all night.
HE LIKES TO STEAL YOUR PRODUCTS…
MASK OF MAGNAMITY by Lush ($40) or Kiehl’s ($42) or Walmart ($10) below. He has no excuse to put his nasty hands in your jar now.
CREME OF NATURE CLAY & CHARCOAL CLAY MASK/PRE-POO ($7) or Shea Moisture ($14) or MOROCCANOIL Restorative Hair Mask ($18)
Design Essentials Natural Almond & Avocado Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner ($50) We won’t condone any 3-in-1 shampoos, conditioners, and body washes in 2020.
HE LIKES TO LEAVE HOME AND GO “HOOP”…
12-Pack of Essentia Water ($18), who knew there’d be luxury water….
HE LIKES HEAD ASS *COUGHS* I MEAN YOU…HE LIKES YOU…
We love a man loving his girl out in the open.
Daddy Baseball Hat ($22) or get that same hat at Rue 21 ($11)
Fujifilm Instax mini 9($50) or a cheap ass camera lens for his iPhone ($10)
Go take those picture none of us asked for…
Matching Pajamas by Lazy One ($50–60)
I was serious about discernment earlier. I don’t want to be too preachy, but Christmas is the holiday most of us go above and beyond for some crusty asshole who hasn’t earned it. I too have been a clown on the gift giving tip *hold hands with you in solidarity*. However, there’s no reason to keep your dollars and pennies to yourself with a man in your life that is reciprocating or contributing when and where he can. If that’s what you have at home, insert that chip in and throw away the receipt boo.
When or if you buy anything on this list, please take a picture or record his reaction and tag me. I love to see men happy!
