The third Saturday of November is always a fun filled weekend for our family. In St. Augustine this is the weekend that the city turns on its lights and the Nights of Lights Festival begins. For our family light up the nights is the start of the Holiday Season. And, the start of the holidays means it’s time to start thinking about Christmas gifts. Believe it or not, you can get gifts for the guys you care about without breaking your budget.
I have come up with 10 affordable gift ideas for guys. The first five gifts you can get for under $20. The second five are all under $50. All of these are easy to find and can really mean a lot to whomever you are purchasing them for.
1 – Socks.
These might seem like something so simple or boring but you can find some great designs out there that are fun. And we like them. Really!
2 – A book.
Believe it or not, reading is still a thing and a good book is always appreciated especially if it is on a topic that you know he really loves.
3 – Pens and Stationary.
You can spend as little as $5 on this gift and it’s a practical gift that most any guy will appreciate.

Because who doesn’t want a giant jawbreaker???
4 – Candy and other sweet treats.
You can spend as much or little as you want and they are quite tasty. You can also do something like a giant jawbreaker that is out of the ordinary!
5 – Gift Cards.
There are dozens of hobbies that warrant a gift card. Music and sporting goods to name a few. Some people say a gift card isn’t a great gift but lots of guys like to have the opportunity to pick out something they really love!
6 – A Tie.
A specially printed tie or something plain tie can be a fun gift and also be something some guys will use often.

I may have included this specifically because I want one…
7 – A “Going Out” shirt.
Practical gifts are really great because they actually get used, and no, we don’t think they are boring.
8 – A Pick Punch.
These work like a hole punch except they use old credit cards and make guitar picks. Perfect for someone who loves music!
9 – USB Rocket Launcher.
No explanation needed.
10 – A hand warmer, flashlight, phone charger combined into one.
Because you just never know when you might need all three of these things at the same time!
All ten of these easy gift ideas are fun and shouldn’t be too hard to find. These practical gift ideas will make the guy you’re buying for happy and give him a smile at least 98% percent of each time he uses it.
Oh! This article has suggested to me many new ideas. I will embark on doing it. Hope you can continue to contribute your talents in this area. Thank you.
