What if someone on your list is just really picky? These are all great questions and we’re here to help you. Scroll on for some gift-giving inspo to make this season merry and bright for the dude(s) in your life.

Cozy Season

For the ultimate loungewear, shop all things Linksoul. This collection features so many must-haves, like this double-knit full-zip hoodie, $98, easy to wear with just enough comfort and performance to dress it up or down. This heathered beanie, $38, is a perfect addition for those PNW chilly days. The Wyeth Shirt Jacket, $128, is the ultimate layering piece for the changing seasons. This shirt is not quite a sweater, not quite an overshirt, but provides just the right amount of coziness and stretch for transitioning from day to night, summer to winter and back.

Tech It or Leave It

For the tech-obsessed dude, go for these Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds by Skullcandy, $19.99. These buds have a small, efficient battery that cuts its carbon footprint to less than half of other earbuds. It delivers 3.5 hours of listening time in the bud and 2 full charges in the case for a full 12 hours of battery life. Plus, there are cool color options. Another bonus is that these bad boys can handle rain and sweat, ideal for those outdoor excursions.

Adventure Is Out There

These next gift ideas go out to the dudes that love adventure. Encourage him to bring his kayak and/or paddleboard along on his next road trip with the Universal Paddlesports Carrier, $69.95, by Rightline Gear. This is the first universal design to attach to all vehicles with or without side rails, enabling seamless transport of kayaks, standup paddle boards and canoes. Adjustable car clips offer added convenience, eliminating the need for a strap placement through a vehicle’s interior. Insider tip, add the Rightline Gear Moki Door Step, $49.95. Use it to load and strap down car top cargo bags and boxes; canoes, kayaks, and SUPs; skis and snowboards; and bikes if you need a lift ahead of that road trip. Speaking of road trip, shop Cascadia Vehicle Tents for a variety of vehicle tents to offer a place to store extra stuff while on the road and options for elevated car camping, because as they say, “Camp is where you park it!”

Fore The Love

If your guy is less about the stuff and more about the experience, consider booking a golf weekend at Semiahmoo Resort. There’s a Roaring 20s-themed New Year’s Eve Gala featuring a grand buffet dinner, live music, dancing, and hosted champagne toast and balloon drop at midnight. The package includes two tickets to the gala. Or keep it close to home and book a round at The Golf Club at Newcastle.
