great gifts for guys

#GiftsforHim

Give him the gift of style

If you guy really wants to stand out or have gear that no one else has we've got a perfect spot. Looking for some "fresh goods" head over to NW 4th Ave in downtown Portland to the Produce Portland store where you'll find a well-curated selection of apparel, footwear, accessories, & home decor, and a space for the creative community of Portland.

It's not just a shop It's an experience they even have a Barber on site. 


Of course, if you Want to step up from stylish streetwear you'll want to explore The House Of Rose (T.H.O.R.)

Tony Iyke is the award-winning Head Designer of T.H.O.R. I've caught up with Tony on the red carpet several times and his designers always make a strong statement on the runway and the streets.  with Bespoke tailoring, the pattern is cut from the client’s measurements and then put together by a seasoned tailor. With T.H.O.R.'s quick turnaround time of 2-4 weeks, you can get your guy fitted in time for the big office Christmas party or bringing him back home for the holidays to meet the parents. They also have great leather goods & accessories that can help your guy step up his style instantly and you won't even have to know his size. So, If you are looking to upgrade your guy's style a trip to Tigard to see Tony might do the trick. 


Give him the gift of healthy "gains"

If the only 6 pack you've seen around your guy lately is a 6 pack of beer you might want to give him the gift of healthy “gains” this holiday season. Sports nutrition is so important…and can be the key to helping him look and feel his best well into the New Year. 

Here are The 3 phases of every guy's fitness plan and a few products to help along the way.


 The three phases  Pre-workout, Build Muscle, Recovery.

  • Slay the Day shots $27 bucks 
  • Quick dissolving PODS are portable protein pods from XS sports nutrition. Zero fat & sugar, Free From Lactose, soy, and Gluten
  • CBD Pro Cream with 400 MG of CBD to help him recover from his workout or the trip to the fridge. 

For less than $135 bucks you have a bundle of products he will love to see under the tree. 


Give him the gift of great skin

Yes, guys have skin, too, and there are simple solutions to help him look his best. Why not pick a premium skincare line like Artistry for Men. It is a fantastic line that is specifically formulated for Men's skin because well between shaving and having an oily T-zone almost all guys have combination skin that require innovative solutions.


We spoke about a new line during our TV segment that features unique multi-tasking products. These affordable spinoff products from  a Billion dollar brand seen on the runways of NYFW are at a price point both men & women can appreciate.


 Three of my Favorites from the Artistry Studio Skin Care Collection are...

  • Glow Blow Cleanser + Exfoliator // Energy from Bamboo Gains + Zen from Aleo Vera 
  • Spot ON Blemish Dots (cover & treat) 
  • Eye Look Rested Eye De-Puffer + Brightener

HEALTHY AND Hassle-free Hacks

#HolidayHacks

Greet guests in a healthier and safer way 

How you ask? With hand sanitizer, a small table, and a friendly note at the front door… they can set down gifts and sanitize their hands, and even grab a mask if they left theirs behind during the holiday hustle and bustle.  


Once inside why not greet them with a pro-biotic boosting mock-tail. Not only is gut-healthy key to our immune system we also tend to eat a lot of rich foods around the holidays. That's why this powered komucha-style drink mix from n* by *Nutrilite is such a perfect addition to any holiday party. You get 7 of each flavor and they can be added to 6 oz of still or sparkling water. Add some garnish and you've got a great way to jump-start our gut with 500M CFU's of the good bugs that help our body fight off the bad bags and help us digest our food. 


Now we are not saying we toss out the cookies, cake and pie this year but why not include some healthy alternatives. Like bringing a Fruit Basket instead of  a plate of fudge or offering Low sugar beverages instead of sugary juice or soda pop and Lower calorie snacks and hor d'oeuvres  so we don't hit our caloric intake before the meal is even served.


Bonus Tips:

  • Reclaim refrigerator real-estate by pulling non-essential items out and placing them in a cooler outside or in the garage.
  • Delegate some cooking duties to a local bakery or deli. You'll take some thing off your list of To-Do's and still get a homemade feel and flavor by skipping the big chains and supporting a local maker.
  • Give the Gift of Health: Support your Immune System and those around you by offering snacks and supplements rich in vitamin C and other immune supporting ingredients.


* Nutrilite is the world's number one selling vitamins and dietary supplements brand.
