This is my third year of post\u00ading gift ideas for hard-to-shop for guys the week before Christ\u00admas. The 2024<\/a> and 2023<\/a> lists are still full of good ideas (they\u2019re both embed\u00added below), so check those out if none of these items catch your fan\u00adcy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not recy\u00adcling some ran\u00addom lists I saw online. Every\u00adthing below is stuff I got myself since I post\u00aded the last list, so I am giv\u00ading first\u00adhand tes\u00adti\u00admo\u00adny that I as a mid\u00addle-aged dude (a) own and (b) am pleased as punch with all of these items. Btw, none of these are affil\u00adi\u00adate links. This isn\u2019t a side hus\u00adtle, just an act of help\u00adful\u00adness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Col\u00adlar Exten\u00adders<\/a> are real\u00adly great if you have a dress shirt that feels tight when you but\u00adton the top but\u00adton. They\u2019re kin\u00adda mag\u00adi\u00adcal. About $8.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. An Anker Exten\u00adsion Cord\/Power Cube<\/a> \u2014 this thing is great when you\u2019re trav\u00adel\u00ading. My hotel rooms nev\u00ader have enough out\u00adlets (or they\u2019re in a weird place). I love this thing for how com\u00adpact and use\u00adful it us. Has both reg\u00adu\u00adlar out\u00adlets as well as USB ports for charg\u00ading devices. Around $20.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Ear Wax Removal Cam\u00adera<\/a> \u2014 I love this device so much. It would be handy for any task that requires see\u00ading into a weird space (like try\u00ading to find a screw that fell into some machin\u00adery), but I use it for ear wax and it deliv\u00aders. About $10. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Sil\u00adi\u00adcone Body Scrub\u00adber<\/a> \u2014 I have long been annoyed with so-called \u201cshow\u00ader-flow\u00aders\u201d and I stum\u00adbled upon this device. Works per\u00adfect\u00adly and is way more durable than oth\u00ader solu\u00adtions I have tried. This is the one I bought, but scrolling down to \u201cprod\u00aducts relat\u00aded to this item\u201d I see lots of inter\u00adest\u00ading alter\u00adna\u00adtive designs. Prob\u00ada\u00adbly a weird stand\u00adalone gift, but it could be nice as a stock\u00ading stuffer. This one is about $6.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Busi\u00adness For The Com\u00admon Good<\/a> \u2014 I do a fair amount of read\u00ading in the faith & work space, and I don\u2019t love most of what I read. It\u2019s often super\u00adfi\u00adcial on either the busi\u00adness side or the spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal side. This is one of the books I had to read for my doc\u00adtor\u00adal pro\u00adgram and it is sol\u00adid on both fronts. I liked it more than any\u00adthing else I\u2019ve read on this top\u00adic. Around $12.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. A Rug With A Cus\u00adtom Logo<\/a> \u2014 you could put your fam\u00adi\u00adly ini\u00adtials or even a fam\u00adi\u00adly or pet pho\u00adto on here. I made the round one with the Chi Alpha cir\u00adcu\u00adlar logo and it sparks joy. The rug itself is not super high-qual\u00adi\u00adty, but the vibe it cre\u00adates makes me hap\u00adpy. $17 and won\u2019t arrive in time for Christ\u00admas, but file it away for an upcom\u00ading birth\u00adday or some\u00adthing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I hope at least one of these helps you out with any last-minute shop\u00adping (or inspires you to buy a lil\u2019 some\u00adthing for your\u00adself). Again, the last two years\u2019 lists are still help\u00adful. See below. Also \u2014 Mer\u00adry Christ\u00admas<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
