Turn water from a river or pond into clean drinking water with the amazing LifeStraw Go! This refillable water bottle has one of the most advanced filtration systems which allows you to fill your bottle up and start drinking right away through the straw-like filter. No chemicals, no bad taste, only clean and safe drinking water. Given that it was designed as an emergency response tool for people to filter their contaminated water after a natural disaster, LifeStraw technology 99.9% of waterborne bacteria and protozoa. It also reduced muddiness. Since it requires no electrical power or battery, it is the ultimate solution  for people who hike, hunt, run, or camp in remote areas. It’s also great when you travel to other countries and don’t want to get sick from drinking the water there.

It can be a real challenge to find clothes that fit well for men who are 5’9” and under. Either the shirt is too long or the sleeves are too long, it’s never quite right. Obviously, wearing clothes that are too big can make a man look even shorter than he actually is. Fortunately, Jax Everett decided to tackle this by creating clothes specifically for men who are 5’9” and under. And because they are passionate about fashion and style, they decided to offer the best of the best and work with the same luxurious materials and factories used by the most reputable brands of men fashion. The result is high-quality, well-designed clothes that actually fit well! They offer dress shirts, fun graphic tees, oh-so-soft merino wool sweaters. See my full Jax Everett review which includes a giveaway that ends 12/6/2014.

Havercamp Camo gear. From camo mugs that change colors when hot, to grill aprons, pens, pencils and Christmas ornaments – Havercamp has a range of practical gift ideas that any camo lover would enjoy. I know a lot of practical men who love to hunt and like camo print but don’t really have a long wish list. For men like that, Havercamp’s gear is perfect. I plan to give my brother the Havercamp Hot Camo Changing Mug. He drinks coffee and likes camo so I know he’ll get use out of it. The camouflage pens, pencils and bottle openers would make great stocking stuffers!

Seth Spradlin Bass Zippo. I am a huge fan of the Zippo brand because their lighters are made really well and last a long time. They guarantee their lighters so if they do break they’ll repair them. My dad is a really practical guy who doesn’t really ever want anything in particular, so he can be hard to shop for. He uses a wood stove to heat his house and often has bonfires so he gets a fair amount of use out of lighters. He likes to bass fish so the Seth Spradlin Bass Zippo is perfect for him. If the man in your life isn’t into bass fishing, check out the other Zippo designs as they have tons to choose from. You can even create your own if you want to customize one. Read my full Zippo Review for more details.

Cushe Slip On Shoes. My boyfriend would walk the soles off of his only pair of shoes before giving in and shopping for a new pair if I didn’t push him. Eventually I realized this was because he finds older shoes more comfortable because they’re broken in. If you have a man who likes comfortable shoes, Cushe brand shoes are a must-see. The brand is pronounced “cushy” and designed to “make sure that even that first time wear feels like an old favorite”. The Dawn Patrol Slippers are Ryan’s new favorite. They’re lightweight, easy to put on, wide, and have thick comfy soles. For more details read my full Cushe Shoes Review.

Bellroy Slim Sleeve Wallet. Wallets are another item that my boyfriend likes to wear out before replacing. As a result, I like to buy him a quality wallet that will last as long as possible when we do purchase one. This time I went with the Bellroy Slim Sleeve Wallet. It can hold up to about 12 cards, comes with a 3 year warranty and is designed to NOT be bulky. I was surprised at how slim the wallet looks in person – it’s much thinner than Ryan’s old wallet was (less than half as thick?) but it holds everything he needs. I’m sure it’s better for his back to not have such a thick wallet in his pocket anymore! Full review coming soon.
