I can't afford to give gifts this year, and I've learned adults dont really want more stuff, at least not 5 minutes after the thrill of opening the gift. It's fun to see new products for their cleverness, so I watch.
I am 26 and I look forward to this time of year. Because, my family pays attention. Mom got me dinosaur earrings, to wear this season, they have a tree, and a present. I love them. Adults don't like getting presents when they don't suit them. They always say it's the thought that counts, well I saw a mug that made me think of my grandaunt so I got it for her. Will she love it, yeah, it's a better vessel to put coffee in, perfect. Mom is getting a really nice waffle maker, because she likes waffles, and hers is ancient and dieing(I mean it still cooks, it just doesn't tell you the waffles are done). My brother is probably getting a new tabletop rpg system, because he designs them, and finds both the world building and systems interesting(he will probably lounge on the sofa and read it during the festivities). Short version: adults love stuff, it's just that most people don't have the time of commitment to finding the right gift, so they settle for something that works. A check the box they like this thing gift. A friend of mine always got nightmare before christmas stuff, because it was all their family could remember in their limited interactions. And that's the problem with most adults, they're surface level gifts. Also, distribution is key, you can buy presents any time of the year, and store them away. I had most of my serious shopping done in September.
Electric kettles are a game changer. I stayed at an air bnb with that black model -- it's handsome, would be great for an Insta, has a temperature gauge -- but it has flaws. It is finicky about pouring (or you spill) and it is incredibly quiet when it boils so you have to watch it. I recommend glass ones so you can tell when they are boiling.
I will GLADLY click on a billion affiliate links because your recommendations are gold. I’ve bought so many things because of you, including my daughter’s pink nursery paint 🫶🏻 Thanks for your great ideas.
I agree!! She has the best, and most usable information of the organizers I’ve come across on UA-cam! I love Kelli’s demeanor too! Fun, sweet, to the point!
Number 20...definitely for my husband. 35 years old always love falling asleep on the couch. After 9 years of marriage I got the perfect gift for him 😅
I am no good at gift shopping so this guide is a literal lifesaver for me. I was clicking the links and adding to my cart all the way through. Thank You!!!
I absolutely love my money tree plant! I bought myself one per your recommendation last year and it is my easiest plant to take care of and it has grown so much. I love it.
Great ideas. I know of so many women who don’t bother buying their husbands/partners Christmas pressies. I think that’s sad, men are important too. The kettle made me chuckle. An electric kettle is an essential in a British kitchen, as most Brits love their cuppa. My Dad certainly did.
I think you’re my spirit animal! ❤️ If either finding the best gift for people or finding all my families lost items could be a career, I’d be rich!!! 🤣 I get so much enjoyment out of finding the perfect gift to bring someone joy. 🥰
I love my weighted blankets (I have two) and cannot sleep without them. They also help with my anxiety. They can get expensive but Amazon is the cheapest you will get
Thank you for sharing! I love your ideas. Here’s a tip from me. I saw your yeti cup has a ring from drinks. I have cups like that were rings from drinks get formed. If you mix vinegar, dawn soap and a bit of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and with a light scrub scrub the solution onto the mug and it will make stainless steel shine like diamonds! It’s also a great solution for soaking stuck foods.
I absolutely love your videos and shared this video with my boys this morning. Heck, there are some ideas for them to get me some items. You ROCK! Thank you! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
I had to laugh when you presented the notebook because I bought a RocketBook on a recommendation you gave over a year ago in a the first video I watched of yours! 😂😂 still love you!❤
The penny drop game is like the German game "Odenwalder Lustiges Wurfelspiel" that we played while living in Germany and visiting family over the holidays except we used wooden pegs instead of pennies
Some great ideas here. One thing, do not put your child's name on anything that is showing. People with bad intentions can call them by name and the child will think he/she knows them. Initials are always better.
As a British person I totally think every house needs an electric kettle, it blew my mind when I first went to the States and they weren’t that common. 🇬🇧☕️
I would like to add a few gift ideas that I've given my husband that he uses every day and absolutely loves. 1) sheath underwear. They have a separate pouch for their bits and are super comfy. My husband refuses to wear any other type of underwear. 2) true classic shirts. They fit so much better than normal t shirts and they look and feel so good. 3) an engraved leather wallet. I put my husband's initials on the front, our initials in a heart with our anniversary on the inside, as well as a quote we say to each other all the time. 4) Dr squatch soap and deodorant. Their soaps are made from all natural ingredients and they smell so good. Plus if your husband is a Star Wars fan they have a Star Wars themed soap set where they can smell like their favorite characters.
About 50%+ of guys Never wear sweaters, Hoodies Maybe. So unless you've seen him in that style (or any) sweater before just pick another gift from this amazing list. If you get him a sweater, he will say he loves it though, he might even plan to wear it or wear it in front of you, but it most likely won't get used like some of these items like the pocket multi-tool or the life journals, etc. might. This is a great gift-giving list and maybe your man friends are sweater people so I'm not saying anything against your great videos. I'm just pointing out something I've observed in my life.
Hadn’t thought of it before, but you’re right; I don’t know any guy who wears sweaters. And I definitely don’t know any guy who journals! But not a criticism of the video or the suggestions! Sometimes they’re good suggestions for a different person on your list.
Psa to anyone who may be worrying about caring for a money tree, I can confirm that they are damn near impossible to kill (from neglect) very very low maintenance.
So many things to say… I have a difficult time picking out gifts for the man that has everything. I know I’m weird… I tried sleeping with a weighted blanket, i felt suffocated. My man loves the yeti large mugs.. i got his favorite sports team logo on it. I already got electric lighter for his stocking. I was shocked at the price of the taco kit. I have been wanting an electric kettle for so long. We use wood to heat house, so the small fireplace seems crazy, lol. My man does not like hard massages, but i need them so bad. Your list is more for me than for my man. Lol. He has a lot of those things already.
You are a great person, and I usually love your videos, but lately the content is mostly about buying stuff instead of living with less. Our economy is so bad right now, we don’t need to be buying anything! My husband and I are retired, and every gift we buy will be a sacrifice.
Love the my life journal idea. I know my dad would do it. But if I get one for him I feel I ought to get one for my step mum and nan or they may feel I'm not interested in their early life. But I don't think they would use them , so brings with another dilemma. One little criticism.....I didn't see much in the way of low priced gifts. Under £15, for someone like myself who is really restricted to £10 or under this yr there really wasn't much. Most ideas were £30 or more which I don't call cheap. I simply can't afford to spend more right now, if I do I have to start deciding who misses out on a gift and that's not an option.
I really think you are great at picking out gifts, but I don’t know many ppl that spend that kind of money on one person. Can we have a more affordable gift guide?
The men in my family are more outdoorsy, hunting fishing camping tools so the majority of these items wouldn't work. These are more gifts for city people tfs
Probably. The only one I think my hubby might like is the electric lighter to light the wood stove. The plant is definitely a no-go. I cannot imagine my husband having plants. He would say that is my department.

I feel you, we stopped doing adult gifts and now we give experiences instead. Zoo memberships, tickets to an event, fishing license etc.
@@ckee8437 ooh- fishing license. Nice. Firs my budget too.
What a GREAT gift guide! You truly ARE good at picking out gifts! XXOO ❤️
You saved me from a lot of leg work. 😊 All of your suggestions worked for my shopping list! Love, love your channel!

Thanks as gave ideas! Find grandparents hard to buy for. I have mostly been making things for them
Wow, very unique and cool ideas! 🙌
My husband and I got a hand held massager ($15 off at Costco right now) and now we’re going to get one for both sets of in-laws and brother in law 😂
Super fun and great gift ideas for dad and Husband’s! Your videos never disappoint!!❤
Great ideas! 🤗 Too bad I can't use your links since don't live in the US, but will look into many of these things. Thanks!
I am absolutely using this list to buy for my father. He is the hardest to buy for. I'm also going to buy for me & my sister from this list. 🎁
I got my husband a weighted blanket a few years ago & it's still one of his favorite gifts! I got him a twin size so it's just his side of the bed. ;)
Add to cart! Add to cart! Add to cart! Thanks for the great ideas. Looking forward to your other gift guides :)
I love my weighted blankets (I have two) and cannot sleep without them. They also help with my anxiety. They can get expensive but Amazon is the cheapest you will get
❤ I am always so thrilled to see new products and have gotten some that are awesome and then I share it with others ! Thanks again ! Glenda
Where have you been all my life!!! This is an amazing list❤
I love the meeting/email mug! Gotta het that one. The mini fireplace, tho, looks super dangerous!
I bought the condiment cups on your recommendation last yr and they were a huge hit. We use them all the time!
Yayyyy
I think almost all of them can be used for both men and women, anyway I liked the video. Tons of ideas. Thanks Kallie!
The JBL portable speaker is great! Highly recommend it 😊👍

I am from Sweden and I have NEVER ever heard of that game! *lol*
😂😂
I got a few of these as gifts and they were a total hit. Thank you thank you! And Merry Christmas.
I love you and your channel! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thnx! I picked up a couple things for my son-in-law. ❤
Yay!!!
Wow this might be the best list of gifts I’ve ever found! Thanks for the high quality recommendations I’ll actually use!
Great ideas, Kallie!
That JBL is awesome. We have 2 and I'd definitely buy again. Great list!
So many good ideas! You really do have a knack for good gift ideas!
I absolutely love your videos and shared this video with my boys this morning. Heck, there are some ideas for them to get me some items. You ROCK! Thank you! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
You are right - you ARE good at thinking of gifts.😊 There are a couple here that I am going to purchase. Thank you.

Fantastic ideas, thank you!
That mini fireplace is cool! Thanks for the ideas!
AWESOME VIDEO
I love the Electric Lighter , have had them for years .
Be kind to yourself and to others. Love that you say that but forgot in this video. Arlene
The penny drop game is like the German game "Odenwalder Lustiges Wurfelspiel" that we played while living in Germany and visiting family over the holidays except we used wooden pegs instead of pennies
FABULOUS gift guide!!! Omgosh I have to get that blanket for my husband 😂
Great video 💙💛❤💚💜

Thank you. There are so many idea that will suit my family members.
I would like to add a few gift ideas that I've given my husband that he uses every day and absolutely loves.
1) sheath underwear. They have a separate pouch for their bits and are super comfy. My husband refuses to wear any other type of underwear.
2) true classic shirts. They fit so much better than normal t shirts and they look and feel so good.
3) an engraved leather wallet. I put my husband's initials on the front, our initials in a heart with our anniversary on the inside, as well as a quote we say to each other all the time.

I can vouch for the Dr Squatch deodorant! It works so well for my husband!
Here's a vote for the Leatherman multi-tool - my husband loves his, and we also keep one in each car
Great list!
Thanks for the ideas!!!! I might be getting my hubby the electric lighter for his stocking 😁
Checking out at Amazon now! Thanks for an awesome gift giving guide :)
So many gift guides are so unhelpful. These are awesome ideas!
Thank you!
i like this video🎄🎇🎀
Such great ideas!!! Thank you!

Concerned the Yeti mug handles seem to show wear and tear. They are expensive
these are great! thanks so much!!
Psa to anyone who may be worrying about caring for a money tree, I can confirm that they are damn near impossible to kill (from neglect) very very low maintenance.
I already shared the Amazon sweater idea!!
LOVE THIS VIDEO !

I love my weighted blanket. The weight is 10.. so not too heavy. My friend got a heavier one and after awhile thought it was too heavy.
Not to be a fear monger but keep in mind that people can use your child’s name to call your kid if it’s on their hat.
You are a great person, and I usually love your videos, but lately the content is mostly about buying stuff instead of living with less. Our economy is so bad right now, we don’t need to be buying anything! My husband and I are retired, and every gift we buy will be a sacrifice.
Loving your video, showed it to my husband. But I feel like we gotta talk about electric kettles not being a totally normal thing in the States.....
The lighters r great I got one for nyself and for my son as we both love our candles and insence and I did c it here on ua channel
The personal small fire pit is on a big price break. Just ordered, about 40 percent off. 👍❤️
Omg amazing!!!!
Love the my life journal idea. I know my dad would do it. But if I get one for him I feel I ought to get one for my step mum and nan or they may feel I'm not interested in their early life. But I don't think they would use them , so brings with another dilemma. One little criticism.....I didn't see much in the way of low priced gifts.

1 million just in the horizon 😊
Great ideas!
Are you sure you made this list for a guy??? i cant imagine giving my husband a plant or the salsa turtles...lol this is hilarious
Sooooo…happen to have the link to the apron.?.?.?
Out of connect question. Your leather sectional looks very nice. Who is the maker? Where did you purchase it? Thank you.
I really think you are great at picking out gifts, but I don’t know many ppl that spend that kind of money on one person. Can we have a more affordable gift guide?
OK…that meat thermometer. It’s just what this grilling smoking grandma needs! I’ll buy that one for me :-)
Haha won't lie I got myself one
Thank you!!!!
i dont think there is any dad in the world, patient enough, to play that penny game lmao
I fill like half of list is just staff she want for herself 😂
My place pans are horrible that "Friends don't let friends buy My Place pans" is an actually thing.
"Ranch Dressin'" ? Lol. Yo suthern gal comin' out now.
Most of these were not good for men. Better for moms.
👍👍
🤔😊
sadly none of these would make my husband happy
The men in my family are more outdoorsy, hunting fishing camping tools so the majority of these items wouldn't work. These are more gifts for city people tfs
