Ahhhh. The sights and sounds of Christmas are everywhere. Even as the last leaves fall to the ground, color and cheer can be found around every corner. Everything about Christmas is awesome, right?
Eh. Maybe not…
There’s nothing that can ruin that Hallmark perfect holiday picture in your mind quite like the stress of all that looming holiday shopping you have to do!
Some of those people, say your sister or your bestie, are a cinch to shop for but I’m willing to bet there are some folks on your Christmas list not so easy to please. For me those folks primarily consist of the opposite sex. In particular Dads and Grandpas.
I’ve grown tired of year after year last minute frantic shopping so I buckled down and did some research. I’ve spent the last few weeks working on a gift guide with tons of ideas of things I know the men in my life (and yours!) will love.
From the Outdoorsman to the King of the Kitchen there’s something on this list for every guy in your life!

15 UNIQUE GIFTS FOR FATHERS & GRANDFATHERS
BARBECUE RUBS
If you’ve got a kitchen connoisseur in your home like I do, you know spices and rubs are always much appreciated gifts! That’s why I love this Rubs of the States rub set!
My husband and I traveled throughout the states before children. One of his favorite things to do was sample barbecue in different states and compare it to our own back home (close to Lexington, NC which is known for it’s barbecue!) Better yet, the owner of this company used to live near us, so you know he knows his barbecue!
Since we haven’t traveled nearly as far with small kids yet, I love that this set gives him the opportunity to be adventurous in the kitchen!
FISHING CADDY
This is one of the coolest things I’ve come across this year! I don’t do much fishing, but I did enough as a kid with my Dad to know how handy this would be!
Any one with any fishing experience knows you never have enough hands when you go fishing. This brilliant fishing caddy gives you not only a place to sit, but also a place to hold your rods and your beer!
I know my husband is going to put this to good use!

The men in my life never go anywhere without a pocketknife. I’ll be the first to admit, it’s benefited me multiple times. They certainly come in handy.
