Welcome to my second gift guide this year, and it's all about the men! I hope you enjoyed the first one for travel bugs, because I enjoyed putting it together for you. I admit that this time, I had just a bit of help from my man with some of these gifts. For the most part, I picked out items myself and got a stamp of approval, so I know there will be something that the guy in your life would love to receive!
Like the previous gift guide, I included a bunch of Shop Small Saturday Showcase features, as well as a few that I hope to write about in the future! All in all, I handpicked thirty items to add to your holiday shopping list.
Now, let's get to the gift guide!
