Travel Mens Gift Guide

Allbird Tree Runners

Allbird Tree Runners have been my go-to everyday sneaker. Not only are these great to walk around in, but I love to use them for travel. The Allbird Tree Runners are easy to slip on and one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. I’ve enjoyed them so much that I now have a pair of the Peppercorn (White Sole) and Kauri Marine Blue (White Sole).

Ascent Native Fuel Whey Protein Powder

Made with native whey, Ascent Native Fuel Whey Protein Powder has no artificial ingredients. With 25g of protein per scoop, this gluten-free protein is what I use on the regular. Personally, I mix one scoop of vanilla with two fruits and almond milk during the day. At night, I mix one scoop of chocolate with a scoop of peanut butter and almond milk. Both do the trick for me.

Apple AirPods with Charging Case

Wired in headphones was the way to go for a long time for me. That all changed when I received my first Apple AirPods. These headphones are a total gamechanger. Not only are they perfect for working out, but when I’m on the road the convenience of simply popping these in your ears is off the charts. If you’re looking for creative gifts for him, Apple AirPods are ideal.

Away Bigger Carry-On

After using a Delsey for a few years, I finally made the switch to the Away Bigger Carry-On. This bag is lightweight and fits in the overhead bin of most major airlines. There’s also a removable battery you can use charge to your phone up to four times. It comes in 17 colors ensuring you can find a color that works for you.

Away Original Everywhere Bag

I never knew how much I needed this bag for travel until Ashlee got me the Away Original Everywhere Bag. Not only is it water-resistant, but the compartments and pockets are exactly what I need in a travel bag. One of my favorite parts of the bag is the trolley sleeve. This sleeve allows you to slip the Original Everywhere Bag onto an Away suitcase. Total game-changer from the days of having my bag not secured to my luggage when walking through the airport. A gift ideas for men who have everything list would be well-served by recommending this bag.

Everlane The Bomber Jacket

Everlane is a brand Ashlee put me on to. When you read about how Everlane goes about doing business, it’s hard not to appreciate what their team is doing. The Bomber Jacket is an item I didn’t know I needed until I bought one. It’s the perfect jacket to throw on before jumping on a flight as it’s a nice blend of style and comfort. Any cool gifts for guys would likely include an item like The Bomber Jacket.

NutriBullet Pro

The NutriBullet Pro is what we use to make smoothies using Ascent Native Fuel Whey Protein Powder. I’ve enjoyed this blender so much that I’ve bought two NutriBullet Cup & Blade Replacement Sets. This blend has treated me well and is one I recommend.

Old Fashioned Glasses

With fall heading into winter, this is my favorite time to make whiskey cocktails. In particular, a bourbon old fashioned which you can find on my Instagram highlights. This set of four glasses can each hold 11 oz, which is perfect to use for any cocktail.

Titleist Pro V1x Golf Balls

Titleist Pro V1x balls are the ones I settled on after years of trial and error. The guys at Golf Galaxy actually recommended the Titleist Pro V1x when I was getting fitted for new woods. While Titleist can’t guarantee to make you play well with the Titleist Pro V1x, I’ve been pleased to date.
