As I was racking my brain this weekend to figure out the last few people on my list to buy for (husband, dad and grandpa), I thought you all might have the same problem. They are always the hardest to buy for!
I’ve compiled a list of some things I looked through as I made my decision on what I would get this year. I won’t tell which I narrowed it down to (all were worthy!) so I don’t give away any of the surprises. I hope some of these ideas might help. All of them should arrive by Christmas.

This is what all the men in my life want (and several are getting). It’s $25 instead of $20, but it’s an awesome toy that makes every one of them light up like a little boy on Christmas morning.

My husband and my son love these foam golf balls – they can practice their chip shots in the backyard without any fear of breaking a window or nailing someone with the ball!
