We hope this gift guide, which includes gifts you can buy ONLINE—without leaving your house—will help take the stress out of holiday shopping!
Check out the 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021 Gift Guides for even more ideas!
Co-written by Erin and Will Odom
Christmas is just a few weeks from now.
We are typically the kind of people who wait until after Thanksgiving for anything Christmas – music, decor, etc.
However, our one exception involves buying gifts.
We tend to buy a few things throughout the year as we find them on sale and then finish up the last couple of months with money from our Christmas savings account.
As we’ve looked at gifts, we thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of some of our favorites and some of the top gifts of 2016.
We asked a few people about desired gifts as well searched the InterWebs to discover what people are asking for this holiday season, which included some new items and tried-true ideas.
Obviously, this list is not exhaustive. It could be twice as long.
My husband Will and I have worked on this gift guide for weeks, and we kept finding awesome and interesting things to add to it but had to stop adding items!
Hopefully, it will give you some ideas. If you don’t see anything specific, then maybe it will spark some other ideas for you to explore.
For example, if the man in your life already has a drill, then perhaps there is some other tool that he needs or would like.
Think about the person’s likes, hobbies, or interests and find something that fits.
There are varying price points on this list, so we would also encourage you to make sure you are staying within your budget and select gifts accordingly.
Below you will find a list of gifts. Click on any of the links for more details*.

I hope you got them already. I’ve heard they are selling out quickly. I saw someone selling them on Amazon for over $100.

Yes, I purchased them the day they were released on sale for $60 (Canadian) and am so relieved that I did.

Here people are selling them on the the buy and sell sites for over $200 and people are buying them.

These are some great ideas! Very helpful ideas for the men especially. Next year, could you also include a category for grandparents or senior adults? I’m having a hard time coming up with ideas other than pictures of the grandkids!
Will
That’s a great idea, Annie!
