Kurtis’ Top Gift Picks
Following are Kurtis’ top men’s gift ideas for 2023. All sources are found below the graphic, and then below that, you’ll find more details from him on each of the items.
SOURCES: Plug-In Fly Trap | Silver Bell Jigger | AirPods Case | Green Pullover | Light Blue Pullover | Bike Mirror | Cellphone Holder | Electrolyte Drink Mix | Laser Measure | Grill Brush | Jeans | Computer Monitor | Golf Bag | Backpack | Bike Rack Bag | Airplane Phone Holder | Oxford Shoes
- Airplane Phone Holder – This has been a game changer for traveling on airplanes! I like watching movies on my phone but it was never fun holding it for a 2 hour flight. This device can be configured in many ways and clipped on the tray when it is down or stored upright. It can also be used all around the house!
- Plug-In Fly Trap – Love this device! It works amazingly, especially on fruit flies which are more of an issue down south than we had in Omaha. It contains no chemical insecticides, which is great with pets and kids and is super easy to use.
- Silver Bell Jigger – Our friends had one of these and I raved so much about how cool it looked that they bought us one too several years ago! It’s probably my favorite jigger I have ever owned. It is very solid and has several lines etched on the inside to mark different ounces.
- AirPods Case – Great case to protect your AirPods. Love the carabiner that can be clipped to a belt loop or on your backpack. Comes in 39 different colors!
- Green Pullover – Sarah found the johnnie-O brand for me a year ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since! This pullover is lightweight and has a more cotton feel than the Peter Millar pullover. Johnnie-O is more of a coastal/surf vibe as they call it “West Coast prep” while Peter Millar has more of a southern/country club golf vibe to me (both were started by the same person).
- Light Blue Pullover – Absolutely love this quarter zip pullover from Peter Millar! The material is super comfortable and has a bit of stretch to it while rarely wrinkling.
- Bike Mirror – Works great! Very low glare and easy to install!
- Cellphone Holder – Sturdy design that secures your phone very well to your bike. Easy to load and unload your phone and simple to install.
- Electrolyte Drink Mix – Great way to stay hydrated! Mixes well and tastes great. I’ve had to double my order recently because Sarah now likes to drink one a day as well.
- Laser Measure – This thing is amazing (despite me telling Sarah there was no way it was accurate when she first bought it. Admittedly, she was right). You can carry it in your pocket, or a purse and it is super accurate! Simple to use and allows you to measure in corners with precision.
- Grill Brush – I saw a video years ago about wire brushes and how they can leave steel wire bristles on your grill that can get into your food. After that, I bought one of these that uses steam to clean and will never go back!
- Lucky Jeans – Love the look and fit of these jeans. For guys with bigger thighs, it’s hard to find a better fitting jean, especially in a stretch material.
- Computer Monitor – I was looking for something that would replace dual monitors and all the cords that come with it. This monitor does that with a screen size of two 27” monitors. It is a little futuristic looking on the back but I can’t imagine having another setup after using this bad boy! Sarah also likes that the back of it is white, rather than the traditional black you’ll find on most monitors.
- Golf Bag – I had honestly never heard about this brand when I started looking for a golf bag. However, after doing some research, I realized it is extremely well made and it had everything I was looking for in one bag including 14 full length club dividers, a dedicated putter well in the front, two velour-lined pockets and magnetic enclosure pocket on the front. I love this bag and it comes in a bunch of great color options!
- Backpack – So many great features on this backpack including a built-in USB charger outside and built-in charging cable inside, it holds up to a 15.6 laptop and lots of storage compartments. It also has a luggage strap that allows the backpack to slide over the luggage upright handle and has a hidden anti-theft pocket on the back. Comes in lots of colors and sizes.
- Bike Rack Bag – Highly rated on Amazon. It’s waterproof, very easy to install and has lots of great pockets and storage! Comes in nine different colors.
- Gray Oxford – I have the gray Ironstone color with white soles and get so many compliments on these shoes! They are the perfect blend of casual and dressy which gives you lots of options.
Thank you to Kurtis for his insight and men’s gift ideas!
