Unique Gift Ideas For Him – Holiday Gift Guide 2018 #TheHelpfulPlace #AceHardware

We all know that finding the perfect holiday gift can sometimes be a challenge. There are a few people on my list that are particularly hard to shop for and my husband is the biggest challenge. He never wants anything – ever! So, I have to get a little creative and think outside of the box. I have to think of items that I know he would absolutely love to use but that might not come to the top of my mind right away. I steer clear of sweaters and robes and beard oils. Instead, I turn towards tools and BBQ supplies. That’s much more up Bill’s alley. Ace Hardware is a store we patron all year long. With close to 5,000 stores nationwide, odds are they’re right in your neighborhood with a quick and convenient check-out. No crazy parking lots and overstuffed stores! I just love that local feel. In fact, I buy my paint from Ace and if you follow my blog, you know that I paint about every three months. The man who heads the paint department gets a KICK out of us and knows our WHOLE STORY. I love that kind of personal touch.

Back to the gift guide! If you are looking to pick up something unique for the men in your life, here are a few great items I scored at Ace as well as several more selections that I think you will love.

Unique Gift Ideas For Him – My Top Three Holiday Gift Ideas

I want to start off talking about my top three picks for my husband.  Like I said, I wanted to get presents that were a bit special – off the beaten path. And so, I chose items that worked for my foodie. Bill is someone who loves to eat. It’s his only hobby. He reads the paper and hears about a new restaurant that opens up in the Hamptons and then that weekend, we are driving out East to check out their signature lobster dish. He LOVES it. I don’t know if it’s about the scene or the flavors or the fact that it just brings him pure joy, but I know the way to my husband’s heart… and it’s straight to his stomach.

So, when I decided to get him a few special gifts, I knew I had to gear it all around cooking. When we aren’t looking for the latest openings in Manhattan, we are busy making our own feasts at home. Here are some great selections I found that I thought my foodie husband would adore.

Diamond King:  smoke meats and fish easily inside any type of grill, added bonus no propane or charcoal needed.

This BBQ smoker box makes smoking meats and fish easy because it works inside any type of grill. All you need (besides the grill) is your protein of choice and the box takes it from there, cooking ribs, chicken and more to smoky, tasty, doneness.

Uuni 3 1 burners Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven Silver – make pizza in your own backyard!

Uuni 3 is the definitive tool for your garden or outdoor kitchen. It’s designed specifically to take the cost, bulk and hassle out of using a wood-fired oven. An evolution of the highly acclaimed Uuni 2S, Uuni 3 reaches 932°F in just 10 minutes and can cook an authentic wood-fired pizza in an incredible 60 seconds. The patent-pending oven runs on wood pellets which are very energy-dense and inexpensive.

YETI Rambler Brick Red Insulated Mug BPA Free 14 oz. Stainless Steel – keeps soups and coffee warm

The YETI Rambler 14 oz Mug is the toughest, most over-engineered camp mug out there, because your hard-earned warm mug of chili after a long day deserves nothing less. 18/8 stainless steel keeps contents hot (or cold) and hands protected. Find a color that calls to you – the mugs are available in stainless steel, and in DuraCoat Color.
