2019 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR MEN

What do you gift to a man who has everything and wants nothing? Well let me tell ya, it's not easy to find the perfect gift to put under the tree, but you can never go wrong with the items below...


SEVENLY
As a parent, I feel it's so important to instill a heart of giving in a child, which is why I love supporting brands that have a heart for giving and actually make giving back their mission. I came across Sevenly by an awesome accident, I'm not even entirely sure where I heard the name honestly, but on a whim I decided to look them up and you could have knocked me over. Not only were their products and designs super cool as well as thought provoking and inspiring, but every single product they offer donates to a charity! No matter what cause is near and dear to your heart, whether it be keeping our oceans clean, preserving our national parks and environment for us, the wildlife and future generations, showing kindness and making bullying a thing of the past, education for those who might not access to it, food and clean water as a human right for EVERYONE, curing cancer and heart disease, ending slavery and trafficking, whatever it is that you feel a calling to bring awareness to, you can do so in such cool ways over at Sevenly. Not only that, all of their products are ethically made using only high quality, fair trade, environmentally friendly, slave-free supply chain materials. I'm excited for Frank to find this tee and this tee and this insulated mug under the tree this year. Sevenly is a brand for world changers and they're on a mission to do their part. What cause is near to your heart? Will you be a world changer?


My husband starts every single day with a cup of coffee so of course coffee is one of my go-to gifts fir him. He actually tried Case Coffee a few years back and since he LOVED it I thought why not get him a new roast from Case Coffee Roasters! This Hi-Five Rustic coffee blend smells so cozy, reminiscent of campfires and that moment when you wrap your hands around a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning (or as the package says: earthy, spice and full bodied), so it's going to be the perfect gift for him! While I love that Case Coffee Roasters makes amazing coffee, what I love even more is that Tim and Kati source their coffee with fair trade in mind! Following ethical and sustainable practices, they travel the world in search of the best coffee, bring it back to Oregon and roast them in small batches to ensure all the flavor stays intact. When you drink Case Roasts you can feel great knowing you're drinking coffee that does good all while tasting good!


A belt with no belt buckle holes you say? What on earth is this? Okay, so I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive at first too, but a few years ago, I got one for my husband and needless to say, he LOVED it. No more belts falling apart at the buckle holes after repeated use. This is a belt that slides and locks into place, no holes at all, and if that isn't one of the coolest things you've ever heard of, I don't know what is. What's even better is that it is way more customized as far as sizing goes than a traditional belt. Gain a few pounds over the holiday season, not a problem, lose a few pounds while chasing those new year resolutions, no need to buy a new belt, because Mission Belt has got ya covered. Mission Belts adjust every 1/4 inch, unlike traditional belts which adjust every 1 inch or so, so your belt can fit no matter how many of mom's homemade dinner rolls you reach for or how many hours you spend on the treadmill afterwards! I chose the Cuoio Italian Full Grain Leather Belt for him as one of this Christmas gifts this year and I know he's going to love it.


Since we tend to be minimalists in our everyday life, I also like to give gifts that aren't necessarily going to be around forever taking up space, and you know what they always say: cleanliness is next to Godliness. So why not add a few bars of soap underneath the tree? I'm always on the hunt for new natural soap AND I'm kind of lover of all things honey and bee related, so Bee Lovely Botanicals caught my eye right off the bat! Studies show that our skin absorbs around 64% of whatever we put on it so it's so important for me to make sure all of the products we use in our home are natural and made with wholesome ingredients. With ingredients like essential oils, coconut oil, cocoa butter, rice bran oil, honey, propolis and shea butter in their Bee Rugged Pine bar soap and Woodsman Bar soap I think they'll be perfect! Josh and Jodie, the owners of Bee Lovely Botanicals, actually became accidental beekeepers after a swarm of wild honeybees made their home on the land that they own and live on in Michigan (along with their 3 sons), after a lot of experimenting and researching, their hobby ended up becoming more than a hobby! Pretty awesome if you ask me! These soaps are going to make the best stocking stuffers so grab some for everyone you know!
