Oh, the fun of Christmas shopping! I am being sarcastic. I am not a shopper in any way shape or form. Luckily I have been picking up bits and bobs all year. Notebooks, silk scarves, and paintings from China; obnoxious coffee mugs from Tuesday Morning; and a bunch of knickknacks at every checkout aisle in the world. Unfortunately, I haven’t picked up much of anything for the Bug (mostly because he has been with me every time I’ve been inspired to grab a gift) so while I’ve got everyone else covered, his gift count is currently at zero. But at least with Amazon, I can get most of my shopping done from the comfort of my couch (or toilet, because let’s be real… I get a lot more inspired when I’m in the bathroom)!

So the next issue is figuring out what to get a guy who loves being outdoors, hiking and climbing, and craft breweries… but does not need another t-shirt (seriously, he’s got one for every day of the year)…? I’ve compiled a few ideas here that can be picked up right from Amazon and will be in your hands in no time. If you end up purchasing any of these from my links I get a little commission, which I am pleased to announce will most likely go straight to buying these same items. Shhhh, don’t tell the Bug!

This Zippo Hand Warmer, 12-Hour is perfect for when he is outside hiking, climbing, tailgating.. whatever! Fill the cup. Light the burner. Done! The flameless gently warmth provides 2.5 times more heat than disposable hand warmers.

For the builder (or wannabe builder) in every man get the CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder The Stud 4 Sure is a stud finder that uses powerful rare earth magnets to pinpoint the exact location of screws or nails in a stud. The tool doesn’t require batteries and never needs calibration. So now you can have him hang up all the shelves to display your new goodies from Christmas without worrying about their stability!

I don’t know about you but every time the Bug walks into the bathroom he turns on his Pandora station. This Shower-Mate Water Resistant Wireless Bluetooth Portable Speaker and Hands-Free Speakerphone Compatible with All Bluetooth iOS Devices and All Android Devices is great for him (and you) to get your Karaoke on in the shower every morning. No more barely hearing your music as soon as you turn your shower water on! Plus double duty – you don’t have to only use it in the shower. He can take it out to the backyard or garage to always have his tunes with him.

This next one is a great combo: everyone needs more soap in their life, he can get all sweaty and nasty hiking in the woods, and it’s beer (soap)… Enter the Hoppy IPA BEER SOAP from Swag Brewery.

Is the guy you’re shopping for more of a whiskey lover? Check out these Whiskey Stone Set Box of 10 Chilling Stones and Tongs, Pure Soapstone for Cold Whiskey Beverages for cooling down his whiskey without watering it down. Oh and Swag Brewery also makes Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Soap. For the whiskey double win!

Finally, for the bookworm/science nerd guys out there, I found this book, What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions, for some fun, light reading around the Christmas tree. Because who doesn’t need to contemplate some absurd hypothetical questions from time to time.

Of course, these gift suggestions are based on the things that I know the Bug loves so they may not be the exact thing you are looking for. Check back for some sweet discounts from Amazon on other Great Gifts for Him!”
