GIFT GUIDES FOR HIM

November 4, 2021 By Anna Groves No Comments

OK! Here are my gift guides for him! These are Rob approved and I even got help from one of my stylish sons.

You can click/tap any image and it will take you right to the item and retailer.

I know you’ll find the perfect gift for him here. The gift guides for him include teens, at home, every day, and luxury. I had so much fun with those last two categories that I created two of each!

Be sure to follow me on liketoknow.it and there you can “favorite” items. When you do they will send you alerts if anything goes on sale! You can also follow me on instagram so you never miss a thing! Without further ado, here are my gift guides for him! (OH and if you missed my gift guides for her no worries! They are right HERE!

GIFT GUIDES FOR HIM – TEEN

Tap any image above or below to shop. My son created this guide and when I put it all together, he stood back and commented, “I SNAPPED on this one!” Yes, you did, son. Sneakers, Birks, some graphic tees, sweatshirts, and a quality vinyl player are included in this guide. Don’t forget Beats, a Dopp kit and of course fragrance that you can gift as is, or break up into smaller gifts or stocking stuffers!

FOR HIM – AT HOME

Tap any image above or below to shop. At home, we are getting fit, doing self care, drinking coffee, relaxing and playing games. This is the perfect gift for the homebodies. A perfect not too hot waffle knit robe, the softest Tommy John Lounge wear, pajamas, cozy socks and slippers set it off. Then we have a pour over coffee maker, blue light blocking glasses, perfect drinking glasses for that special beverage hailing from Kentucky, a balance board to stay fit while watching his favorite show, and skincare for his self care Sunday. Don’t forget the dominos for game night!

GIFT GUIDES FOR HIM – EVERY DAY PART ONE

Tap any image above or below to shop. These every day gift guides look like I copy and pasted Rob Groves but I am sure you don’t mind, because the man has style! When I showed Rob my proud creation, he said well of course I love it- you just copied my style 😂LOL.

Welp, I couldn’t help gravitating toward these items. Rob loves carhart, so here you have this stylish puffer and beanie. Then I added a causal olive green jacket for the moderate weather days. Good jeans are a must- Rob has thicker thighs but he likes a slim (not skinny!) fit and these are perfect. Add Jack Black, Jo Malone, a monogrammed duffel and a pair of good boots and we are done! Loved this corduroy button front shirt, and these nikes are a perfect color combo.

FOR HIM – EVERY DAY PART TWO

Tap any image above or below to shop. There were so many good things that I had to add another one. This one is full of beautiful (yes I said beautiful) jackets! Aviators and a Filson Beanie plus black on black timberlands would look amazing together! We have this speaker in orange and the sound is amazingly clear and powerful- hard to believe it comes from this tiny speaker! The color of this duffel caught my eye, and Rob loves a backpack- this green one with leather accents is so good!

GIFT GUIDES FOR HIM – LUXURY PART ONE

OK these last two are for the man who has everything! Tap any image above or below to shop.

Like this heated razor from The Art of Shaving! So luxurious. And I have never seen a Canada Goose Puffer in neutral colors with white accents including the iconic patch! Did you know these jackets turn into a little backpack?

I knew I had to add this rust puffer the moment I saw it! The color is stunning. These two sweaters are perfect – I really lost it over the argyle. And of course the best jeans for men with some thighs – not too slim or baggy. Rob used to work in mens shoes and these boots are so good for dressing up or down. Had to include Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille because it’s dang good, and these Common Projects sneakers in olive are amazing. Common projects are hand made and leather lined so they never smell and conform to the foot!

And this boom box is amazing. Going back into time with cassettes and radio plus CD, and bluetooth enabled, high quality speakers. This gift would bring any music lover back to some great memories, I am sure!

FOR HIM – LUXURY PART TWO

Last but not least, part two of luxe for him. I couldn’t stop adding all of these cool items! This fragrance is dumb expensive but Rob won some as part of a contest and I have never in my life smelled anything so incredible. He uses is so sparingly to make it last. It is sooooo goooood. Another Canada Goose puffer in red… love the fit on this one. Gotta have a matching beanie for the man who has it all, right? Finish the look with Common Projects in the coolest color combo, and these maui Jims (Rob loves them because they give him X-ray vision when he goes fishing) are such a great color- a warm neutral brown.

The links on this page are commissionable and I may receive a commission if you choose to shop using them! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to take a look at my gift guides for her!

23 years ago, I remember looking at Rob and whispe 23 years ago, I remember looking at Rob and whispering, “I want a noisy house.”  
 
I was pregnant with my oldest of four, and visiting my friend’s house.  She was pregnant with her youngest of four.  Her house was filled with joy… and noise.  
 
Welp, here we are- four grown boys later. That whisper became reality.  I got that noisy house, and sometimes when I start to complain, I remember- this was my desire, and God really did deliver.  
 
Thankful for my crew and 23 years of yelling, wrestling, “look at the camera!”, bickering, tears, holes in walls, super hero comparisons (still), “did you brush your teeth?!”, music versus battles, “STOP touching me!”, video games, one word answers, “MOMMMM!!”, boy hugs, and all of my most cringy mom moments. 
 
I hope you had an amazing weekend, and if it wasn’t very amazing, please know that I thought of you on Mother’s Day, and I hold space for you in my heart.
Rob and I are in a very strange season. What we be Rob and I are in a very strange season. What we believed was “next” is no longer. Many people around us are either trying to solve it like it’s a problem to be figured out, or asking us, “So…what’s next?”   
  
I get it. We also want to know.  But the truth is, we don’t know.  We are waiting to hear from God. It’s hard. It’s uncomfortable. It certainly hasn’t been fun. We feel discouraged at times. That’s where we find ourselves.   
  
But I am thankful. For friends who are fine to sit and wait WITH us. And a God whose greatest desire is to just BE with us in every moment- especially the ones that aren’t epic. The ones when life looks plain. When it seems there is no movement, no vision, no plan, no seemingly huge accomplishment, or mountaintop moment.   
  
What a miracle it is that Peace Himself sits down beside us, scoots in close, and whispers contentment, joy and that He is proud of us into our ears. Proud of us in the mundane. Proud of us in this stillness.   
  
I receive it. I hold onto it. Let me grasp it so tightly and fully that I don’t CARE what’s next, and instead savor who is next to me.   
  
Let right now be our next, and let us find the utmost peace right here.  
  
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.”  
‭‭  
Psalms‬ ‭62:5‬
#3MinuteMakeupChallenge You guys this was SO hard #3MinuteMakeupChallenge You guys this was SO hard 😂😂 you gotta try this and tell me how it went!  #makeup #quickmakeup #quickmakeuplook #FearlessFriday on a Wednesday
💇🏽‍♀️Did I leave you hanging???! I had 💇🏽‍♀️Did I leave you hanging???! I had an epic April fools day hair reveal to share but then decided maybe it’s too soon in the decade for more jokes 😂 Here’s the actual new hair :) 
 
I was using black box dye, and as my grays were coming in, they were very obvious, with a line of demarcation showing the grow out.  
 
As a solution, Brittany gave me “lived in color” to camouflage my gray -instead of covering it- by subtly and strategically lightening my hair so the gray “blends.” 
 
She said that camouflage instead of covering is the more modern way of coloring and I’m here for all of the dimension!  
 
First and last slides are day 3 hair, and I kid you not, I hadn’t done anything to it since Brittany styled it on Friday!! I wish I could curl my hair like she does!  
 
Also I like seeing the different tones in varying lights- at sundown (day 1 slide 2) morning light (day 2 slide 3) and golden hour (day 3 slides 1 and 4)  
 
The goal will be less and less red and more warm browns as we progress and slowly go lighter over the coming months!  
 
Love it!
Just found out it’s husband appreciation day so Just found out it’s husband appreciation day so here’s my appreciation post for Rob Groves! Best father, friend, leader and overall person I know! Dances with me in an empty party bus before the party ever starts, puts up with my “dancing”which is saying a lot, puts God, me and our family first, makes me laugh, is always striving to grow for the better, sings Tender Roni with me (which is all I ever wanted ever since 8th grade and needless to say it was worth the wait!) I appreciate him for waiting patiently until I’m done with my try ons, that he loves good food, does a good Daniel Russo, is the finest dookie picker upper, and that I finally broke the “can’t be pranked” door down (last slide). I Love you and I like you Rob Groves!

#ad As a child, my skin was not celebrated. In fac #ad As a child, my skin was not celebrated. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I could tell many stories of the words that were spoken over me, and the shame that it caused me to carry.  
  
It took years to shed the negative impact those words had on how I saw myself.  Not only am I proud of who I am, and where I came from, but I’m proud to be one of many Black women who are doing great things despite the challenges we may have experienced as children.   
  
This Black History Month, I’m celebrating with items from the @Target BHM Capsule Collection! And don’t sleep on the Lip Bar- one of my favorite Black and woman- owned cosmetics companies carried at Target.  
 
Celebrate with me by checking out all of the incredible Black creators and business owners at Target - this month and always.
