With Valentines Day fast approaching I figured I’d put together a few ideas for the guys in your life! I’ve had so many of my close girlfriends tell me how difficult it is to shop for their significant other, let alone surprise them with something they love but, weren’t expecting! If you are in a similar situation, hopefully you can find some inspiration on my list below!

1. Qalo Ring // After Spenc and I got married he quickly found his stainless steel wedding band to be uncomfortable. I later discovered these silicone wedding bands that are perfect for any working man! They’re comfortable, stylish and come in a handful of rich colours.
2. Custom Wallet // Practical, stylish and personal! I got one of these made for my brother-in-law last Christmas and he LOVES it!
3. Hot Sox // For the guy who gets cold feet! This is a brand I can always count on to have unique, often humorous designs for great prices.
4. Camp Brand Goods Apparel // Support a Canadian clothing company that is owned and operated by its very own husband and wife team! All of their clothing is ethically sourced and produced too.
5. Chemex Coffee Maker // Nothing says, ‘I love you a latte,’ more than this! Spencer and I were so impressed by this handy device. I gifted it to him with a bag of beans from his favourite local shop, Transcend.
6. Bro Brick Soap // Locally, handmade soaps specially made and designed for men! They have scents like, Barbershop, Rum & Coke, Mountain Man and the classic, Beer.
7. Blundstones // Treat your man to comfortable, versatile and water proof boots that are bound to last longer than one season!
8. ABC Pants // These pants were designed for comfort, style, stretch and everyday wear. Spenc owns them in black, but they also come in Deep Coal, Desert Sand and Nautical Navy.
9. Wood Watch // Nothing says you’re more grateful for the time you’ve spent together than a new watch! JORD wood watches are hand crafted and made of all natural wood.
10. Justine Ma Mugs // Shop #YEG local and gift one of the many adorable mugs Justine Ma has designed! Perfect for the hot drink lover in your life.
11. Cards Against Humanity // Is your guy a little sassy, sarcastic and a bit of a dirty joke teller? If so, this party game for horrible people will be the perfect or maybe, worst gift!
12. NES Classic Edition System // The system is a miniaturized version of the groundbreaking NES, originally released in 1985. Believe me, this gift will take you to the next level!
13. Print // Why not gift your guy a print of a special place that means something to you? Jason Blower is a local, Edmonton artist who specializes in exactly that!
14. Custom Leather Belt // Our friend, Kaden of Kopas Rural Craft designs custom leather belts, keychains and other goods. You can shoot him an email at kopasruralcraft@outlook.com or check out his IG, @krc_leather_goods for more information. They’re detailed, unique and custom made in Coronation, AB.
15. Local Brewery Growler // For the simple guy, treat him to a growler filled with some beer from a local brewery! Our personal favourite in Edmonton is Alley Cat Brewery.

 

One thing, I wanted to include on this list was the gift of an ‘experience.’  To all my #yeggers out there, two words: Rogers Place.
