    My husband could use the grill cleaning products.

    The bbq grill brush would make wonderful gift.  Men like keeping their grills clean

  • Juliannerosenau

    Hubby would love the router!

  • Shannon Gammon

    The Router would be the best gift for the Man in my life:)

  • Eve2570

    My husband hates to clean grill so the foam cleaner is a great idea, except it’s cold weather for us, so he won’t be using it for several months.

  • Diana smith hill

    I had noidea fuller. Rush company or anyone even made the foam coeaner for the grill! Thanks!! I hate scrubbing that thing lol http://www.fuller.com/index.php/foaming-barbecue-grill-cleaner.html

  • Jolene

    Oh the scandle candle sounds awesome!

  • Vanessa Coker

    It’s so hard to shop for men!!! I think anything gadget related are a hit with them though, so leatherman tools etc.

  • http://twitter.com/JustSpecial2 Rick M.

    I have read some of the other comments about how difficult it is to shop for guys. Here is a hint: No candles. We are the masters of the BBQ and would love an easier way to keep it clean.

    The Nalgene water bottle looks good…

  • Carolyn K.

    I love the nalgene bottle idea!  My husband used to have one, but lost it. :(

  • Heather Bridson

    I can’t see my husband wanthing these,, but my dad would like the BBQ cleaner.

  • Rosey

    The Foaming BBQ Grill Cleaner is a great idea.  If it’s small enough to fit in a stocking, I think it’d be a great stocking stuffer.  My husband’s already asked for BBQ Sauce, lol, so this would be the perfect partner for that gift.

  • Amy B

    Thanks for the ideas! So much better than my usual gift cards

  • http://twitter.com/janflora Janet Flora Corso

    OK, Scandle is a hilarious name, but I think we need the grill cleaner most :)

  • Ticklemetiffy

    Funny I never even considered getting hubby some good grill cleaner for his precious grill and smoker! Thanks for the great idea!

  • Melanie Johnson

    Oddly enough, I think my husband would like those candles, haha

  • annae07

    my hubs is quite diff to shop for- he’d prob like the grill cleaner though!

  • Cujo

    I’ve asked “Mrs. Clause” and the elves for a Dremel this year.

  • http://twitter.com/gummasplace @gummasplace

    Hubs, would love the Foaming Barbecue cleaner! Seems Tools are what I buy each year.. this guide is very helpful
    ThankYou

  • Danielle Wuest

    I believe a good gift for men, since it's so hard to shop for them in general, would be a all in one tool set or even a metal detector.

  • http://lbandj.blogspot.com LBLB

    That bbq cleaner would be perfect for my dad! He is so hard to shop for.

  • http://allthatisgorgeous.blogspot.com AllThatIsGorgeous

    Thanks for the ideas!

  • KHBride

    Thanks for the great ideas and inspiration!

    it is very hard to shop for men. I always just stuck with socks, ties, and shavers. thanks for more ideas to add to my list.

  • Jo-Ann Brightman

    You have some great gifts for men, including Think Geek (from your contest)

  • Susie Miller

    these are great ideas! this is my comment on a non-giveaway post.

  • joni

    I think my dh would think that the bubbling grill cleaner is so neat…it might just make him want to clean it more often…

  • Laura W.

    I like the grill cleaner idea. My husband got a new grill earlier this year, so he could use that!

  • Jill L

    Oh that Foaming Barbecue Grill Cleaner would make a great gift for my hubby. He is obsessed with his grill.

  • Robin Quick

    My husband really would like to have the router. I told him to line "Santas" pockets with some funds and maybe he would get it! LOL

  • Jennifer Anderson

    I like the nalgene water bottles. It would be a great idea!

    I always have trouble finding gifts for men. I really appreciate your list since there are some great items shown. The bbq items would be especially popular.

    Love Nalgenes! I think I'll put one on the list for my son.

  • susanlanai

    I appreciate this list. I was most surprised by the travel candle. I would not have thought of that one on my own.

  • Chelsea Saulpaugh

    I think the Xperience days suggestion is gold. This type of gift is both eco-friendly and if you get them a gift card to the site, the guy can choose whatever experience they want. Hey, maybe they will even take you along!

  • Lauren

    Yes! Nalgene bottles are great for men like my husband who play sports (he's a soccer player, so always takes 1-2 big bottles with him to games). We have some off brand bottles but the Nalgene ones are better, and the wide mouths make them easy to clean.

    If you check out her ThinkGeek review, there's some great ideas there too. I love the Airzooka Air Gun http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/60b6/ That think geek offers

  • Amanda Starr

    The smarTouch Gloves seem really neat, I know a few people that could use them :)

  • Cindi

    The men in my life would use the luggage scale a lot…
    Thanks, Cindi

  • http://freeindeedblogger.blogspot.com anna pry

    Yes! I had the Scandle on my list of gifts to put in hubby's stocking. Thankfully I won one on another blog!

  • Chelsea Saulpaugh

    Men are soooo hard to buy for. I always end up just getting them a gift card. Thank you for these gift ideas. I think I may try some out this year.

  • barb

    Great ideas I can use all the suggestions I can get

  • http://freeindeedblogger.blogspot.com anna pry

  • Jamie

    My husband would love the Router!

  • ana

    so hard to find one and choose just one good ideas thought

  • Jennifer Anderson

    I actually would love to have one of those water bottles!

  • Rachel R.

    Gifts for men are so hard to come up with. Thank you for some new ideas. I especially love the bbq cleaning products and the scandles candles. I believe my hubby would really enjoy both gifts instead of the usual golf stuff.
