This year Nordstrom has recruited some bloggers to help them highlight different menswear lines just in time for some holiday gift giving!
I was asked to show some items from the Peter Millar Collection.
And when I found out that I would get a gift card for a reader, I was all over it!
Are any of you interested in $250 to Nordstrom?!?
That's what I thought!
WOOHOO!
If you win, you could use it to buy $250 worth of stuff for your man for Christmas!
OR....
and I'm just throwing this out there...
You could buy him a $20 scarf and buy yourself $230 worth of tunics.
Just an idea.
;)
So, in honor of the Peter Millar line and the Nordstrom gift card...
I present to you the Nordstrom ONE-STOP-SHOP for the men in your life.
The purpose of today's post is to help you TOTALLY KNOCK OUT the shopping for ALL the men in your life all at one time, all in one place.
We're talking husbands, dads, brothers, brother in laws, sons, sons-in-laws, EVERYBODY.
Nordstrom is THE PERFECT place to do this for 2 reasons:
1) Free Shipping
2) Free Returns.
Shopping for the men in your life is a no-brainer because of this.
Their return policy is HANDS DOWN the best in the business, and whatever you order online comes with a return address label on it. So, if for some reason your man doesn't love the gift, neither one of you have to even go back to the store to return it.
Just slap the label on the box, and pop it right back in the mail.
It's stupid easy.
Seriously, just get it all done right now and cross it off your list!
(And if you're like me, if shopping for the guys in your life isn't actually written down on a list yet, that's ok. Shop, then write it down, and then cross it off. That's what I'd do anyway! Doesn't it feel sooooooooooooooooo good to cross things off a list?!?)
:)
Last year I did a gift guide for men with things from all over the internet. But I realized that wasn't conducive to EASY shopping, and it often meant shipping charges from several different retailers So, today I've pulled things only from Nordstrom. It was the only place that made sense, because Nordstrom carries MY VERY FAVORITE gift for guys. And I would NEVER do a men's gift guide without this VERY FAVORITE item.
Stay tuned for the favorite item....
I'm going to start out with the Peter Millar stuff.
It's what is earning one of you lucky ladies a gift card after all!
I googled Peter Millar to see what I could find out.
This is what I found:
the Peter Millar line embraces a classic, old-world style resplendent in sharp detail, superb craftsmanship, and only the highest quality materials available.
Pinterest Told Me To translation:
Peter Millar makees super sharp clothes.
If you want your man to look TOTALLY SHARP (and who doesn't?), this is the line for you.
Some of my favorite items follow.
(I have no idea why Nordstrom chooses to only show the chiseled jaw lines of their male models. Show us the whole face Nordstrom!)
A) check sport shirt HERE
B) polo HERE
C) quilted jacket HERE
D) merino wool v neck sweater HERE
E) quarter zip fleece shirt HERE 
Peter Millar also has a line of University Shirts that you can find HERE. 
Just in case you want to browse through some more Peter Millar items, I've installed this handy dandy little widget. Click on what you are interested in for details and pricing.
There's no denying that Mr. Millar knows what he's doing when it comes to classic menswear.
********************************************************************
And because Nordstrom is a 1-Stop Shop for the men in your life,
I've got some other choices for you today.
Next Up is What I think is THE BEST GIFT for you to give to give the men in your life.
It is of course a great gift for your hubby, but it's also a great gift for your son, your brother, your brother-in-law, your father, father-in-law, son-in-law,your mailman, etc....
Just kidding, I don't give gifts to my mailman.
But maybe you do.
No judgment.
I present to you,
NORTHFACE JACKETS
Click HERE for the entire line carried at Nordstrom.
Over the last 5 years, Chris has purchased 3 of these jackets for himself. And that's sayin' somethin', because quite unlike me, my hubby does not care about clothes and rarely buys clothes for himself.
He likes them for their functionality (they are warm without being bulky), and I like them because I think he looks so cute in them! That's a WIN WIN!:)
Click the picture for the jacket you are interested in.
I truly believe this is THE BEST gift.
They are SO easy to care for..I just throw them in the wash and dry them for like 10 minutes and they come out perfectly every single time. Chris has walked in with it COVERED in mud before. We hose it off, throw it in the wash, and it looks as good as new!
Is your guy a golfer? One of these jackets would be great for him.
Is your guy a runner? One of these jackets would be great for him.
Is your guy a hunter? One of these jackets would be great for him.
Is your guy a guy? One of these jackets would be great for him.
Here's some more info about the jackets above that is on the site:
1)
A windproof, water-resistant jacket is crafted from TNF® Apex ClimateBlock fabric, offering an abrasion-resistant exterior with soft, brushed fleece lining.
2)
Revolutionary FlashDry™ fiber technology embedded into a water-resistant jacket wicks and speeds evaporation of moisture to help you efficiently regulate your core temperature while hiking or running. The wind-resistant TNF™ Apex Universal fabric features a wind-permeability rating of 10-15 CFM (0 CFM is completely windproof), and quick-zip alpine pockets provide custom ventilation at the torso for a bit of cooler air after a particularly challenging summit.
3)
A versatile, quick-drying jacket features flyweight abrasion-resistant panels and Polartec micro fabrication for warmth without the weight or bulk of traditional insulation, making it ideal for wearing alone or with layers.
After writing all of the above information about these jackets, and after knowing how my guy and I both feel about them.....
I just made a decision.
Pinterest Told Me To is declaring a NorthFace jacket the first official MUST HAVE FOR GUYS!
Click HERE for the grey and black version (Chris's favorite).
Seriously.
Best guy gift ever.
******************************************
Now, not that you need other gift ideas, because HELLO...
Northface Jacket.
But just in case you want some other ideas, keep reading!
And don't worry, I still have one thing up my sleeve for you girls at the end of this post that I promise you don't want to miss. My favorite boots ever just went on sale. Yep.
And not just a little bit on sale...a lot on sale....40% OFF!
Does your guy travel a lot?
These would make a great little stocking stuffer!
Travel shave set HERE
And if he does travel, look at THIS wheelie travel bag. It looks so versatile and awesome.
**************************************************
Click HERE for this stylish camo jacket.
I was immediately drawn to it.
*****************************************************
Oh, and if you're guy is anything like my guy, he likes to buy himself awesome Christmas presents right before Christmas.
Yep.
#annoyingmuch?
Chris walked in the house just last Thursday with THIS.
He absolutely loves it.
He is VERY picky about sound quality and was super impressed with this product.
He says it offers crisp and clear sound that you wouldn't expect from a device this small.
He took it to the ranch this weekend and said it was great on the porch hooked up to his phone.
Yep. He was sitting on the porch in THIS jacket listening to THIS speaker.
Chris gives it 5 stars!
Click HERE for the Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth Speaker.
If you're guy is in to gadgets (my guy TOTALLY is), he would LOVE this.
Chris loves all BOSE products, and Nordstrom carries several HERE.
Here's what the company has to say about the speaker above:
A portable speaker delivers incredibly full sound from an incredibly compact source. Small enough to fit into your hand, the SoundLink® speaker connects wirelessly to your Bluetooth device so you can play your tunes or videos anywhere. The included charging cradle serves as a home base and lets you grab your speakers and go.
Lithium+ ion battery allows up to 7 hours of unplugged play time.
If you are technologically challenged (like I am) and don't totally understand everything written above, watch the 30 second commercial and you will understand.
Yes, ma'm.
This is an AWESOME gift. I think most guys would totally flip for this.
****************************************
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you've already seen the next 2 items, but I wanted to mention them again on this 1 Stop Shop post!
I found these online with FABULOUS reviews, and they are at such a great price point that I thought they deserved to be a Santa Alert.
Click HERE for the Minnentoka men's house shoes.
There are only 4 reviews online, but they are all 5 stars. Here is one of them:
Good comfort here.
I bought a pair of these 3 years ago and they are still going strong. I wear them daily. I have been really hard on these slippers and they merely show normal ware and tear.
I recommend them anyone looking for a slipper that is as comfortable in the summer as it is in the snow.....This is the one.
These shoes are nice and warm, and they have the thick rubber sole, so you can walk out of the house with them with no worries about ruining them.
Great gift with a small price tag!
*****************************************************
This next Santa Alert makes for SUCH A GREAT GIFT!
They are gloves that you can wear AND STILL USE A TOUCH SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME!
There is a special type of technology built into the fingertips that allow you to operate a touchscreen with the gloves on.
Tell me what man in your life doesn't need these.
Okay...maybe your great grandfather doesn't need these, but everybody else does.
men's gloves pictured HERE / women's gloves pictured HERE
In addition to the gloves pictured, there are several other choices for men and boys HERE.
These would be lots of fun to give, and SO practical!
*****************************************
Watches are always great presents, and Nordstrom has a huge selection
that spans every price point imaginable. They even have 245 luxury watches between $500 and $2,000! Now THAT would be a nice present.
However, if you are looking for something a bit more within reach, there are lots of watches for between $100-$300 HERE.
(It appears that I'm a little bit widget impaired. There are supposed to be 3 watches below. I don't know why those 3 watches are appearing 74,000 times. Oh well.)
My favorite is the Fossil on the left that is only $105!
All watches pictured below are between $100-$180.
GREAT gift. GREAT price!
Click on the picture of the watch you are interested in!
**********************************************
I can't believe I almost forget my guy's favorite tennis shoes.
Brooks.
Click HERE for the shoe.
The review of the below shoe made me smile.
Best Running Shoes Ever
I run 20-40 miles a week and these have been the best shoes I have ever bought. Light, good feel and just enough cushion for short and longer distances. I own 3 pairs now and just alternate them between runs. Average life of the shoe is 250-300 miles.
For the record, I would like to tell the man that wrote that review to grab a bag of potato chips and pop a squat on the couch.
Take a day off man, you deserve it.
My guy isn't a runner, but when he broke a bone in his foot earlier this year, his doctor recommended (STRONGLY recommended) that he only wear Brooks tennis shoes after he got out of the boot (which he was in for 3 months!).
She said that they do a great job of supporting the foot correctly.
Chris loves them and just goes on and on about how comfy they are.
Click HERE for the exact shoe, and click HERE for the entire line of Brooks.
THESE are the exact pair that Chris has.
And if your man needs a shoe that is more dressy than a tennis shoe, but still casual,
I love THIS one from Cole Haan (and at 33% off it's under $100!).
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS Born boot.

I narrowed down the belt selection for you, because they have belts that are priced up to $395.

Chris would stroke out under the Christmas tree if I gave him a $395 belt.
Let's be honest, he would stroke out if I gave him a $95 belt.

I suggest THIS (if you don't already have it.)
Just a little something to reward yourself for getting the shopping done for the men in your life. My favorite is the taupe and I throw it on with everything. Shay now has 3 colors. THREE!
OR.......WAIT FOR IT....buy my favorite pair of boots EVER that are NOW ON SALE!
If you follow me on facebook, then you saw me post this yesterday morning,
and you also saw the firestorm of comments from readers!
Several of you already had the cognac color and LOVED them so much that you bought the black pair. Some of you have always loved the cognac, but never wanted to shell out the $269, so you finally gave in with the new price.
And then several of you utilized GIRL MATH, and ended up getting both.
You justified that it was basically Buy One, Get One Free.
I like how you think girls!
I've said it once, and I'll say it again: You are my people.
Click HERE for the Miz Mooz wedge boots that I've been talking about since July that are now 40% OFF!
Originally $269, now $149.
WOW!
And they just added black!!!! WooHoo!
Click HERE.
And check this out. I went to go grab pictures of me in the boots to put in a collage for you to see how versatile they are. Well, as you can see, I found a couple of pictures.
Please don't question by love for these boots.
They are OH SO comfy and I love the little bit of height that the wedge gives me.
They are great with skinny jeans, leggings, and tights and dresses.
LOVE.
Love Love Love.
If you love them too, click HERE.
All right girls!
