Father’s Day Gift Ideas the Men… and Price Matching for the Ladies!

By 25 Comments

So the majority of this post today is to help all of you shop for the men in your lives for Father’s Day.  I don’t know about you, but I think my man is kinda hard to buy for.  
He would argue that fact fyi.  But he’s wrong.  🙂
If you don’t have to buy a Father’s Day gift for anybody, make sure you scroll to the bottom of the post to see the collage I made of lots of awesome items that are currently being 
price matched at Nordstrom!
I own 6 of the items that are now on sale!!!!!
(spoiler alert:  My favorite nude patent flats are included!)


So we all know that Carter loves being cozy and likes to pretty much only wear elastic waistband shorts, tees, and Natives.
And when he’s at home, he rocks a blardigan like nobody’s business.
#captaincozy



Well, he comes by it honestly.
The second I get home I rip off my bra and throw on something that doesn’t have a button or a zipper.
  🙂
Being cozy is also very high on Chris’s priority list at all times.
But for some reason, the man won’t wear a blardigan.
#hisloss

So for his b-day back in April I got him THESE shorts and THIS tee.
He has gone on and on about them and how “cozy” they are.  
What can I say, we like the word cozy at our house. 
Anyway, don’t tell, but he’s getting another one of each for Father’s Day,
 Right now he has the navy shorts and the dark grey tee.
He’ll be getting the grey shorts and the navy tee.

So anyway, when Nordstrom asked me to talk about men’s active gear, I knew I could post about Chris’s new found Under Armour love.  And I wanted to do the post in June, because I thought it would be great timing for Father’s Day Gift ideas!!! 🙂

Here’s Chris in his cozies at the ball field.
And I know I’m biased, but hubba hubba.  😉
Under Armour shirt HERE / Under Armour shorts HERE / Fitbit HERE / Brooks shoes HERE
And here he is with our little ball player!
I could eat them both with a spoon.

If you want to get Chris’s items for your own hubby, just click on what you are interested in:

We had rain for a couple of straight weeks, so we played several games in the outfield.

Here’s the Astro’s cheering section.
My guys in action on the field.
This is Carter’s “gettin’ ready to run” stance.
All the dads in their cozies.  🙂

Coming across home!

So as you can see above, Chris loves Under Armor, but other popular active wear brands for men that I know you are  also familiar with are Nike and Adidas.
Here are some gift ideas from these other brands!
Nike:

Adidas:

And click HERE for all of the Fitbits and Fitbit accessories at Nordstrom. 
Chris is OBSESSED with his.
(Here’s to hoping I become obsessed with mine soon.)
THIS is Chris’s.
He loves it because it will tell him just about everything he cares to know all on this little screen.
It will share everything fitness related, including:
number of steps
number of flights of stairs
distance walked/run
calories burned
And it also tells you the time (so you don’t also have to wear  a watch).  And check this out, it will vibrate when you have an incoming phone call, and the band has caller id!
 Also, the battery has a great life and lasts 4-6 days between charges.
It’s bigger than mine.  Mine doesn’t have a display screen, so I have to get all of the information I want by checking the app.  
So I like the size of mine better, but I like the functionality of Chris’s much better.

Here is an example of the activity tracker page you can see on your app with whatever Fitbit you decide on:

You can also connect with friends and participate in fitness challenges which keeps you super motivated.  Chris is all about the challenges!  🙂
“You” is Chris, not me.

So, here are the different Fitbit options all in one place.
I think the Fitbit is a GREAT idea for a Father’s Day gift!
Mine (the Flex) / Chris’s (the Charge) / The Charge HR w/ the built in heart rate monitor / The Surge
You can click on the picture and scroll down the description to see the details and capabilities of all of them.

Other Father’s Day Gift Ideas:

You know you can always do THIS because who doesn’t love a gift card.
#nobodythat’swho
And a couple of other gift ideas that are CHRIS approved.
Blue Tooth speaker HERE.
And THIS is the one Chris has.
And I know I talk about it every single time I do a gift guide for men…but I’m telling you.  It’s a PERFECT gift for so many guys!
He takes it everywhere and can play the music off of his phone anywhere!
We use it on the porch at the ranch house, we take it to the neighbor’s when we get in their pool, and it’s great for when you’re grilling out!
It makes an awesome gift that so many dads would be thrilled to get.

Now that we’ve talked all about the men in our lives, I thought I should throw in some things for us girls too!So, I put together a collage of some awesome finds that are being price matched at Nordstrom right now!  (Actually, they were being price matched over the weekend, so I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that they still are this morning.)
I own the items that have the hearts by them!

    I got that speaker for my husband after you talked about it for Christmas. It was his favorite gift. He uses it so much that now my sister in law is getting it for my brother for Father's Day. It is a really great present.

    Love the Father's Day ideas! Are the Paige jeans (not the white) the ones you got @ Anthro? Can't tell if the wash is the same or not. Thanks! xo

      I can't tell either Lisa?!? They look like the same fit and cut, but I think the Nordstrom pair might be a bit of a darker wash? Not sure. Sorry I'm not more help! xoxo, Sheaffer

    In that picture of the dads do you know what shoes the dad in the Astros shirt is wearing? Random question but my hubs needs some casual shoes like that

    My husband LOVES Under Amour. I think 90% of his closet has the UA logo on it. He especially loves their boxer briefs. Once he tried them he decided he couldn't wear anything else. They're pricey, but great justification for me buying some Hanky Panky's. 😉

    Sheaffer, one thing you forgot to share the link is to your husband's amazingly perfect ball cap – Boomer Sooner! I love everything about your site and now that I know your hubs is a Sooner Fan, it just makes sense <3 Thank you for ALL you share, you've helped this fashionably challenged Momma more than you could know! Love, Megan

      Hi Megan! Chris and I both went to OU! The hat is several years old, but he thinks he got it at Dick's Sporting Goods. Thanks for reading! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

    Hi Sheaffer,
    Can you tell me about the sound quality that comes from the second speaker you featured? Thanks, I love BOSE and don't want to be disappointed in the sound of the songs being played.

    • Sheaffer says

      Hi there! My husband is VERY picky about the quality of sound a device puts out (he's a total snob about it if we are going to be honest!) :), and he was very impressed with this particular speaker! Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

    Hi Sheaffer! Just a comment on the Brooks shoes that your husband wears. I work in a specialty running store and that particular model in the Brooks line is a VERY supportive shoe. Meaning, if you don't need that much support, it could cause some problems over time. I suggest visiting a specialty running store that really works with each customer (we do a stride analysis on a treadmill) to ensure that the shoes you buy are right for your feet. Athletic shoes are expensive so you want a pair that work for you! The hardest part about working in a running store is we put fit first, then looks. That's just all kinds of wrong in my shoe-loving heart! Thanks for all the great Father's Day ideas! –Patty

      Hi Patty! That particular shoe was recommended to Chris by his doctor after he broke one of his toes. I have the worst memory and forgot what his condition is called, but basically it is very possible that this same bone (or group of tiny bones) could break again. Still, it's good information for others! Thanks for sharing! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

    Thanks for getting Chris to weigh in on Father's Day gifts. It's always nice to actually have a guy's opinion on these kind of things.

    So excited…just ordered the speaker for my husband for Father's Day. I always have such a hard time and end up just getting him clothes. I think he will love this and be very surprised! Thanks for the tip Sheaffer! As usual, I ALWAYS learn something from your blog (and it usually costs me $$) LOL

    I got the Bose speaker for my husband for his birthday in February, and it was the biggest hit of any gift I've ever given him! He takes it to neighborhood get-togethers all the time, and guys are always wanting it for themselves. I'm always so proud that he loves it so much! Laurie in Fort Worth
