by | Holidays, Home

Wanting a little help with your holiday gift shopping this year?? Check out my gift guides, curated with help from my family to give you the best gift ideas for everyone on your list!  Today, check out 50 of the best Christmas gift ideas for college guys and high school guys too…practical gifts, fun gifts, and wish list items they can enjoy!

This week is going to be all about helping you get some great gifts checked off of your list with zero stress!  In fact, I rounded up my family and even some of their friends to help me curate the BEST gift guides for some of the “harder-to-buy-for” people on your list.  Up today are the guys, specifically Christmas gift ideas for college guys and even high school guys.

Having two teenage nephews myself, I will admit that buying them gifts is can feel kind of tricky.  Let’s be honest; I was never a teenage guy or college guy!  However, I happen to love picking out fun Christmas gift ideas for my nephews, even though it is hard to believe we aren’t wrapping up bulky toys and LEGO sets for them anymore!  Before I know it, my own son will be in his teenage years.  Time slow down!

However, narrowing down all of the practical gifts as well as fun options to find the very best gifts they will want is the hardest part.

This list of the best Christmas gift ideas for college guys and high school guys is the tip of the iceberg but I hope it can help take some of the guess work out of figuring out what to buy these guys!  In fact, I even had some help from some of my daughter’s teenage guy friends so I can vouch that these are all guy-approved gifts they will love and can use during their college years!

Here is my ultimate gift guide and easy gift list ideas for those high school and college guys on your list!

More gift guides for the entire family!

I have created several different gift guides, round ups of ideas, and curated shoppable posts to help you out!  As always, I like to have my family help me with these gift guides.  After all, who knows better than a tween girl what a tween girl wants for Christmas or in her stocking?!

I hope these help you out as you have fun finding just the right gift to let your people know how much you love them this holiday season!

Did you get a few special gifts checked off of your list?  I hope this was helpful!  You can check out my other gift guide posts, thoughtfully curated for you, found HERE on my storefront.   Check back often, as I daily add fun finds, sales, and curated, shoppable posts to try and make your holiday shopping as stress free as possible!

Remember, it is not the money amount that is important.  It’s not even about finding the most perfect gift or big gifts that don’t fit your budget.

What it IS all about is celebrating the holiday season for all of the right reasons and helping these special guys know that they are still deeply loved and cared for, even as they are growing up and starting out on their own!

Favorite gifts are icing on the cake and I hope this post has even helped you find a few of those for your special guys too!

Happy shopping and most of all, happy gifting from the heart!
