The men in my life told me their splurge picks this year and some of these surprised me in the best way. A mix of luxury, quality, and things they’d actually use every day.

A few favorites: the LEGO Ferrari that feels like a collectible, the Meta Quest for something totally new, the chef’s knife that lasts forever, and a jacket or boots that you only have to buy once. Good ideas if you’re stuck.

Were any of these already on your list?

If you have a teen boy, stocking stuffers are tricky because the obvious stuff usually gets ignored. I’m a mom of 4 boys, and these are the things people don’t think about but actually get used.

• My viral deodorant + armpit scrub combo. Total game changer for smelly teen boys. The deodorant is a splurge for deodorant, but it smells amazing and actually works. Salt & Stone for anyone asking.
• Nike sports headbands. Stretchy and keeps hair out of their face when they’re playing sports.
• Nose hair trimmer. Not exciting, but very necessary.
• Old Spice holiday shower gel. Easy win and always gets used.
• Touchland hand sanitizer. Doesn’t dry out skin and they actually use it when pumping gas or hitting drive-thrus.
• Lightning to USB-C adapter. Great if they use corded headphones for snowboarding or have an old phone with a new charging brick.
• Black floss picks with a sleek dispenser for the car or backpack.
These aren’t the usual stocking stuffer ideas, but they’re practical and teen-approved.

I asked my 26-year-old to put together white elephant gift ideas in every price range. Amazon finds, party favorites, and a few things people will definitely fight over.

Just kidding… I’m not organized enough to shop early!
I would probably find them after Christmas, then hide them again birthday and just to lose it again

Gift cards are easy, but they don’t always feel personal. This is one of my favorite ways to give a gift card and still make it feel thoughtful.
I filmed this with my oldest son, which made it even more meaningful for me. Once the gift card is used, it turns into a picture frame, so it becomes something you keep instead of toss.
If you’re looking for the best way to give a gift card, or searching for creative ways to give a gift card for Christmas, this is a simple idea that doesn’t feel overdone. It’s one of those fun ways to give a gift card that works great for adult kids, teachers, and grandparents. Everyone loves an Amazon gift card, and this makes it feel more intentional.
Save this for birthday ideas too. I like keeping a few of these acrylic frames on hand for anytime I need to give a last-minute gift card but still want it to look intentional.
