Make Your Man Happy: Cool Gift Ideas for Men
I am the worst at buying gifts for men. Every year, I spend hours researching the coolest new releases for guys in preparation for birthdays and Father’s Day, but I usually end up with a list of items that my dad, brother, and husband either already have or would never actually use. On a good year, I’ll badger their best friends into giving me a few insider tips on things that they want, but most years I end up grabbing a gift card on the way to the party.
This Christmas, I stumbled onto a few cool items thanks to suggestions from the men in my life, and guess what? Every single man on my list got the same thing. The same thing will be happening for this summer’s stream of male birthdays (my husband, brother, father, and father-in-law) and Father’s Day. I’ve found a line that has a really cool aesthetic and a really good heart.
The company I’m talking about is WeWOOD. They craft wooden eyewear and timepieces (fancy name for watches) from repurposed wood, and the designs have a modern and slightly beachy design that all of the men in my life are going to love. They’re well-made pieces, and the designs are cool without being too trendy. This Kappa Nut timepiece was originally supposed to be my dad’s Father’s Day present, but my brother loved it so much that it’s turned into his birthday gift! Don’t worry, I’ve already got another watch picked out for my Dad that he’s gonna love.
Remember how I said that this company has a big heart? As much as I love their designs, I love their mission even more. For every WeWOOD watch or pair of glasses sold, they plant a tree. Reforestation is one of WeWood’s main goals, and they have an on-going relationship with American Forests and Trees for the Future. You can learn more about their work with these companies on their website. It’s nice to know that in addition to gaining a stylish accessory, you’re helping to restore the environment with your purchase.
The WeWOOD Crux Iroko Crema sunglasses are another cool option for the men in your life. They’re mainly made out of cotton fiber, so they’re eco-friendly in addition to being ultra-cool. I know that any guy is gonna flip out when they open a gift box with these sunglasses, but they’ll be even more excited when they learn that a tree was planted in their honor. I know I’m gushing, but I just think that this company is seriously awesome.
