I mostly write about great things for kids and women and moms, but I thought I’d share some ideas/inspiration for gift ideas for the man in your life for the festive season and beyond. There are some ideas for various budgets, and I included things that I would either give, or love to see my partner receive too (so that I can reap some of the benefits too, of course).
