With the holidays right around the corner, it’s safe to say that no matter where you go, regardless of the time, everything is just a mess. People rushing everywhere, all the traffic, and worst of all, BAD PARKERS.
If you work retail — fugghetaboudit. My condolences.
For me, at least, this makes trying to think of personal gifts next to impossible.
Here at The Next Gentleman, I get to see many different kinds of products. Sometimes I even test them out and toss them up on the blog for you, my amazing readers, to check out.
This holiday season, I’ve decided to go ahead and put together a quick and easy gift guide to better help you make solid, personal gift choices for the men in your lives. Better yet — all of these are available online, so now you can avoid circling around the mall 40 times for a damn parking space.
Under each description, you’ll find a link to the company’s product and their social media pages to explore.
Enjoy!

This hoodie and jogger set may or may not also be great to walk around in public with nothing else on for those cold, lazy Sundays.

OARS + ALPS – Skincare
A man’s skin tends to wear out much quicker than his sense of adventure, so living an active lifestyle calls for extra protection. Oars + Alps was designed with these guys in mind to give them the best possible skincare without all the hassle, markup, or toxins. Using Alpine Caribou Moss, a lichen native to the harsh conditions of the Arctic tundra, this special ingredient improves the elasticity of skin, contains powerful antioxidants, and fight UV radiation.

QUEST BARS – Protein Bars and Powder
I like to sleep as late as I can, which means I don’t usually have time to make breakfast. I’ve been grabbing a Quest cinnamon cereal bar in the morning before I leave the house and they’ve worked very well in my routine. They taste fantastic, which is fortunate because they’re also high in protein and fiber. Quest offers an array of other products like straight protein bars and protein powders. Quest is perfect as a stocking stuffer!
