Beard Growth Kit
As a bearded man, beard oil is always a necessity. But not every man can grow a thick luxurious beard like mine…This kit comes with a face roller to encourage hair growth for those patchy beard situations…
“Use the rolling tool 8-10 times back and forth on each area horizontally, vertically and diagonally before applying face cream, beard oil, or skin serums, this can help you better distribute the oil and balm, and give you a healthier and thicker beard.”
Face Moisturizer
Oh boy, they are going to either love you or hate you for this one. “your face is wrinkly, here I got you this.” They could get big-time offended…but that pretty much means they REALLY need to moisturize, because obviously, they don’t. It’s non-greasy, so it won’t clog pores…
“The powerful formula with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamins A & E helps to keep your skin hydrated all day long, and reduce the depth of wrinkles and fine lines. No need for multiple treatments – Wilder’s is all a real man needs for good-looking healthy skin.”
And with over 5,500 reviews, it had 4.5 stars on amazon…
Personalized Skincare

Geologie uses “clinically proven active ingredients that actually work.” It’s not the cheapest gift, but the correct facial regimen can’t be underestimated. It’s worth a lifetime of thanks. I remember getting facewash at the NEX…and the lady next to me said, you’re gonna want toner, too… so I got toner, and still use it to this day..I didn’t even know it was a thing…for guys at least. It’s women who usually have all the facial products…but here we are talking about Geologie personalized skincare for men! What a great gift for guys!

This includes lucky charms, that I couldn’t have as a child because “it had too much sugar”. Now I eat just the marshmallows!
Asian Snack Pack
If you like to travel but haven’t gotten very far, you’ll love to snack on some Asian snack packs! I actually lived in Japan for 2 years, while in the Navy, and there are so many cool snacks and treats I’d buy and try anytime I’d go to the store. Once I bought cough drops and thought they were candy. This Asian snack pack doesn’t contain any cough drops, but you’ll love trying out all the different goodies. Comes with 12 treats total!
Quality Jerky
You can beat a bag of fresh jerky. I like to make it myself, but can be a bit time-consuming. I could gobble down a bag in a day, easily…but I mostly refrain. A little bit each day, I tell myself. There are a variety of jerky on etys, so browse around. You can never go wrong with a jerky sampler as a gift idea for guys. They will consume it and they will love it. end of story. But have you ever had Wild Caught Salmon Jerky?
