We’ve covered gifts for the home lover, gifts for her, and gifts for kids and now we’re ready to share our gift picks for the guys in your life. Chris is the youngest of 7 boys in his family and over the holiday, we polled everyone to hear what their favorite gifts have been–meaning, these are tried and true and tested favorites he’ll love to unwrap this year.

1. Drill Holster. Your guy probably has a tool belt, but this small one that holds the drill in a holster is convenient and cool and will be handy while he’s tackling his honey-do list. $11.93

2. Leather and Brass office accessories to deck out his desk at work. Starting at $29.

3. New Glasses, because they look so good on him. Warby Parker allows you to try up to 5 pairs of glasses at home for free before purchasing–it would be such a great gift to wrap them up and let him choose his favorite. $95

4. Phantom 3 Drone that shoots in 4K video. Our nephew has one of these and it’s easy to fly, fun to play with and the camera shoots the smoothest, most amazing video. $799

    Really enjoying your guides this year. I usually see the same stuff over and over again but yours have seemed very fresh! I’d love to see you do a stocking stuffer guide–that’s where I’m always looking for ideas! :)
