50+ Gift Ideas For Men By Price Range Starting at Under $20

So for all of us who have to shop for a man, this list is for you. I’ve come up with over 50 gift ideas for all types of men with all types of interests

Hey guys, buying presents for men is hard. I’m not sure if this is a woman thing or just a Chelsea thing, but there are lots of different things that make me happy. I’m easily pleased. I like clothes, bags, makeup, outdoor adventure things, workout things, some tech stuff. But men, men are hard. I know this isn’t all men, but most of the men I know are either way too content with what they have (ha) or way too picky about what they like. My conundrum of a husband is both.

So for all of us who have to shop for a man, this list is for you. I’ve come up with over 50 gift ideas for all types of men with all types of interests, with the help of my husband, Josh. In fact, several things on this list are things he has or wishes he had. Share your favorite picks in the comments below!

In July 2013, Chelsea and Josh said their "I do's" on the beautiful windy coast of Washington State. They recently moved back to the beautiful PNW with their toddler and baby after living in Virginia for 7 years. They love being active, Netflix binges, and laughing.

    Men can be really tricky to buy for – especially if they don’t have many hobbies so i love these ideas (and that you started at $20!)

    My husband is very hard to buy for because he likes things he has and does not like to change. He saw a few things he liked the floating speaker, those johnston and murphy boots, and he thought the star wars waffle was a good gag gift.

    I love gifts guides that also have a price bracket, it makes it easier for me to set a budget! It’s not always easy to shop for boys so this is going to help!

    I SO appreciate gift guides like this especially for men! I always struggle when it comes to coming up with gifts for the men in the family, I think this will be really helpful.

    Men are the worst to buy for! There’s something about guys that just make them hard to buy for! These are so helpful

    These are all excellent ideas. I have no clue why men have to be so hard to shop for. Every year my husband just says he either wants nothing or he WANTS car parts lol

    It’s great that you compiled most of them in one post, These are some really great gift ideas! With Christmas right around the corner if wouldn’t be bad to buy maybe a flannel shirt or that cute wooden mug. That star wars waffle iron looks awesome though.

    I might have to look at that video drone for my husband. I think he would enjoy it with my sons. We live near some open fields and a river that would be fun to view.

    This is a great list and helpful when men can be very picky or you are shopping for a man that has so much already you don’t know what to buy. Helpful for Christmas!

    Men are so hard to buy for as they often have no idea what they want or don’t feel the need to share. I find that paying attention to things they like or are into are a great way to come up with gifts likes the ones you’ve mentioned.

    That Star Wars waffle iron may be making the gift list this year. I need a waffle iron, and that one is just too cool to skip over. 🙂

Instagram post 18118930042062161 Asking for a friend, how do you handle loving makeup and/or hairstyling without handing down insecurities or unrealistic standards to our daughters? I feel like a hypocrite sometimes when I'm applying mascara to my blonde eyelashes and Evy says, "Can I have some, mommy?" And I say, "No, baby, you're too pretty for mascara." But by saying that, am I not saying that I believe I'm NOT too pretty for it? 🥴
Still navigating this one but I'm thinking the approach of makeup as a fun hobby or a way to dress up might be healthier than seeing it as a daily routine to cover up. That means I need to treat it that way, too. Examples are stronger than words!

Instagram post 17856006169655193 When I used to take David to the park, it would take him 20 minutes to even start playing because he was so worried about being around other kids. These days, I am so impressed with how brave and friendly he is! He loves his friends at school, running around and kicking a soccer ball, and Jiu Jitsu-ing with his mama (👀 today's stories). I'm so proud and can't wait to see how else he continues to grow!
Instagram post 17991497683281686 A while ago, I was speaking with someone about marriage and sharing a little bit about my and Josh's story. I shared about a time when I felt hurt and it was easy to go from feeling hurt to keeping a mental score card from when I would do anything to "serve" my husband. It was almost as if I was racking up my spouse-points so I could feel like some type of winner in the end. Little did I realize that by doing that (on purpose or sub-consciously), we were both losing. Not only that, but it made Josh feel like he had to defend himself and therefore start keeping a scorecard himself 🤦🏼‍♀️ So how does it end? Not at the same time, I'll tell you that. It takes one spouse realizing they're not God's gift to marriage and looking at themselves (flaws and all) with eyes wide open 👀. It doesn't happen by telling your spouse all the ways they need to change or all the ways you're better than them. It starts by loving the way you'd want to be loved. By trying your very best to love the way Jesus loves you, fatal flaws and all. Even if doesn't always feel fair.

Do you ever struggle with having the same standards for yourself as you do your spouse? I know I do 🙋🏼‍♀️
Instagram post 18084349840081685 What's the longest distance you've ever moved? 
It feels like we've been waiting and saving for so long and then at the beginning of next year, everything's going to happen at once. We're going to get a new car, new home, and see what's in store for this next chapter of life. 
One thing we're trying to decide now is if we should buy a car here and pack up our trailer and haul our stuff across the country ourselves (like we did last time and ended up burying our old but beloved Honda Pilot in the process) OR hire a moving company to do the heavy lifting for us and by a car once we get over there. Decisions decisions... What would you do?
