    Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Him

    HOLD ON… we are 2 days away from Valentine’s Day!!! Have you gotten that special guy in your life a gift yet??? I just ordered something for Robert yesterday (he’s just very hard to shop for plus his b-day is in March).

    I’ve come up with a few items that I think would be good for your husband/boyfriend/brother or whoever! BUT keep in mind that my husband is more of a get dirty, go to the gym kind of guy so my gifts tailor more towards that aspect.

    Lenny & Larry’s Power Pack – $24 – Comes with 9 cookies and 3 brownies. Robert has recently become addicted to these, so I figured this was the perfect little gift for him! There are so many options you can choose from. You can use my discount code BA121665 to receive 20% off your order!

    KORA Fitness Action Shorts – $52 – Comes in 3 different colors. This brand is great because with every purchase you choose between 4 types of charities that help out those in need.

    SUGARFINA Vice 2.0 Flask & Candy Gift Set – $42 – Add a sweet element to happy hour with this set pairing a compact copper flask with two decadent sugarfina favorites. I probably wouldn’t get this for Robert, but my brother would love something like this.

    NIXON The Corpral Bracelet Watch – Now $160 – A sleek matte finish distinguishes a bold watch with a beveled bezel and stylized three-hand face.

    Hopefully this is helpful to you! Let me know if you decide to purchase any of my suggestions!

  • Gift Guide for Him

    Ok so I’m totally going to overload y’all this week with last minute gift guides! It’s Wednesday which means that we are one day closer to Christmas and I am still frantically trying to shop for those hard to buy for people on my list! I don’t know if you know someone like this, but my husband is impossible to shop for. He likes very specific things, and doesn’t like the current male clothing style (tight/skinny jeans, the preppy look, and shoes other than Nike or Vans).

    With that being said, I’ve put together a gift guide for that picky guy in your life! Like yesterday, I’m only including items that will arrive by Christmas Eve.
