Looking for the perfect gifts for the hard to shop for man in your life?

I sat down to brainstorm Christmas gift ideas last year, and after about fifteen minutes, I looked at my list and all the women had ideas next to them (multiple ideas, really)...but the men? Nothing.

I don't know about you, but often the men in my life are the hardest to buy for.

My husband, dad, father-in-law, brother, brothers-in-law...why are they all so hard to buy gifts for?

This post is for me as much as it is for you, my friend. But I'm hoping it can help us all not stay spinning around those hard-to-shop-for men in our lives...whether that's for Father's Day, Christmas, or their birthday.

The links below will take you to one of a few different places:

• Uncommon Goods (a super fun gift website I love browsing for ideas)
• Amazon (for convenience)
• Cratejoy - for subscription boxes of all shapes and sizes
• Other online places I like shopping for gifts

Here's a massive list of 50+ unique gifts for the hard to shop for man in your life

For the tech lovers

If the man in your life is always on his phone, tablet, or computer - he's a tech lover. And that means he's probably pretty difficult to buy gifts for. But don't worry, I've got you covered.

• Smart outlets
• Wireless charger
• Noise cancelling earbuds
• Mini projector for outdoor movie night
• App Controlled Heated Coffee Mug
