2016 Holiday Gift Guide | For Him

December 6, 2016 by Hillary 2 Comments

We started with a gift guide for the ladies and now we’ve got one for the gents — dad, bro, significant other — whoever you may be shopping for. These gifts were chosen with an active fellow in mind, though they can be tailored to suite most any type of guy.

Gifts for Guys

UGG Fleming Slippers | Cozy meets quality with these classic sheepskin slippers.

  • Nordstrom: 6% cashback with Ebates + free shipping

Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones | Ideal for a gym-goer who’s tired of fidgeting with their headphones and having them hinder a workout. These sleek Bluetooth headphones are sweat and weather resistant, so they can handle a tough workout or outdoor run.

  • Nordstrom: 6% cashback with Ebates + free shipping

Snowboard Goggles | I’m no expert when it comes to snow gear, but a new pair of goggles would surely make the skier or boarder in your life a happy camper.

  • Backcountry: 4% cashback with Ebates + free 2-day shopping on orders over $50

Vega Sport Performance Protein | This is P’s favorite protein, and I never oblige when he requests more of this plant-powered, vegan protein. Aside from 30 grams of complete protein, it’s also loaded with recovery-enhancing tart cherry, anti-inflammatory turmeric, and probiotics.

TRX Home Gym Suspension Trainer | With the TRX system, you use your bodyweight + gravity to perform hundreds of modifiable exercises; it targets the core and helps to increase better mobility and stability. A TRX suspension trainer would make a great gift for any guy wanting to ramp up his fitness in the new year.

Insulated Kleen Kanteen | P and I both love our insulated Kleen Kanteens. I especially appreciate it in the hot summer months for keeping my post-workout coconut water icy cold. Kleen Kanteen is a local (to me) company, so I’m giving them an extra shoutout!

Smart Wool Socks | A stocking stuffer for the outdoor adventurist. Whether it’s hiking or playing in the snow, Smart Wool socks have got your feet covered.

  • Backcountry: 4% cashback with Ebates

New Balance Fresh Foam Gobi Trail Shoes | I love my light and cushy Fresh Foams in a major way. And while P isn’t into this particular style for men, I, nonetheless, think they make for a respectable gift under the Christmas tree.

  • New Balance: 10% cashback with Ebates + free shipping

    These are great ideas! Men are so hard to buy for. I’m probably not going to get anything for Bran, lol! Otherwise I would definitely reference this list. ;)

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
