A perfect gift to score some extra social media love, it is a very fun present for teens, travelers, Dads, BFFs, entrepreneurs, and literally any kind of guy that gets dressed on a daily basis (we truly, truly hope your loved one falls under the latter category.)
3. LOOK BIG: And Other Tips for Surviving Animal Encounters of All Kinds ($13.46): Do the men in your life look a bit lost when they go to Central Park? Can a simple picnic become a worrisome endeavor because they are unable to locate the North even when looking at the tall buildings? To buy you some well-deserved peace of mind, LOOK BIG is a fun and smartly written book on how to deal with wild animals (and urban beasts.) Filled to the brim with interesting facts, it is an accurate rendition of how to behave in the presence of an unexpected animal encounter. With beautiful illustrations and funny anecdotes, it is a wonderful gift to prep a true Gothamist to live –or vacay– in the wild.
4. Atlas Obscura Travel Poster Calendar ($7.49 at Amazon): For the restless soul itching for a new adventure every day, the Atlas Obscura calendar is the perfect way to scratch the explorer itch without spending those hardly-earned vacation days. A journey through the most extraordinary hidden treasures in the world, this adaptation from the bestselling book features an unexpected discovery every month with stunning retro, mid-century style illustrations that can double up as really cool posters to frame once the year is over. And believe me, they look really good in pictures too!
5. The Charge Hub 7 Port Universal Charging Station ($59.99): For the Insta Husband who has it all (including a ton of cables lying around), this universal charging station is the perfect charging dock for all his technology needs. With its ability to charge up to 7 devices simultaneously with an only power supply, it eliminates excess cables and the constant visits to the ER for tripping over while he was charging his phone. A wonderful way to keep plugs, outlets, and power strips at bay for a neat and organized space, it also features a cool blue soft light to help him use the device in the dark. FCC certified and RoHS Compliant, it is a cool gift that will delight the reluctant photographer yet still tech enthusiast in your life.
6. Tani SilkCut Crew Undershirt Crew ($65): Give the gift of comfort with this specially-engineered undershirt that will feel like a hug to your loved ones. Luxuriously soft and lightweight, Tani manufactures luxury underwear with the latest European innovations. Knit in Europe, this undershirt is made with the Micro Modal Air fabric, which is thinner and softer than actual silk (yours truly loves natural fibers and I can attest to this!) Soft on the inside and dapper on the outside, this crew neck undershirt stretches and recovers for a maximum level of comfort. Did we mention it is also moisture-wicking, so it is the perfect layering piece for the winter commute? The only downside is that your Insta Husband won’t want to go back to regular thermals for outdoor shoots. Or cotton shirts. It is very easy to get hooked on the luxury of high-tech fabrics, believe me…
7. The Bearded Bastard Woodsman Experience Grooming Kit ($100.00 with free shipping): If your Insta Husband loves to grow his beard in the winter to stay toasty, the folks at The Bearded Bastard have curated the perfect gift. A complete grooming set with everything he needs to transition from a hairy bear to a picture-perfect hipster, the Woodsman Experience leaves room to no excuses when it comes to rock a perfectly manicured beard. This Godsend kit includes a beard oil, beard balm, and a mustache wax, all made by hand in Austin, TX by The Bearded Bastard. But there’s more! Inside the cigar wooden box, your furry best half will find a boar hair bristle beard brush, a TBB comb, and a pair of micro-serrated beard scissors for controlling wild whiskers. A beautifully-designed kit, the box is so manly that it can sit proudly on the bathroom counter and always in reach for emergency beard and mustache touch-ups. Too bad the folks at the Bearded Bastard haven’t come with a solution to catch all those pesky tiny stray hairs that suddenly seem to coat every crevice of the restroom, but hey, nobody’s perfect! Hopefully this gives them a good idea for next year’s gift sets. {This is a 100% natural product made in the USA}
8. Golf Bag Beer Mug ($15.95): If your Insta Husband has other passions outside of snapping cool pictures of you, he will surely like this fun gift for golf lovers.

Best taken on the rocks or simply with a splash, this very unique concoction has nose tasting notes of rich fruit with hints of sweet oak & caramel, mixed with ripened red berries and dried spice on the palate for a soft, smooth and pleasantly long finish.
11. Hudson Made The Workers’ Box Gift Set ($78.00): The best thing about having an Insta Husband is that there is never any kind of money talk. Because Insta Husbands love helping us out with our digital projects, payments-in-kind are usually accepted as a fair compensation. As recognition goes a long way, this beautiful gift set curated with hard-working people in mind is a wonderful way to thank them for their efforts. Has your Insta Husband ever got callus palms from building props, or dry hands from shooting outside in the middle of a snow storm? Or just need a little luxury to remind him how much he loves being the official Insta Husband? The folks at Hudson Made have you covered with this indulging and pampering selection of their finest fares. The original Worker’s Soap will take care of his tired hands so they can continue to create Instagram magic with their savvy positioning at the perfect angle.
