Congrats to our winner Robert!
This post was made possible by iConnect and Old Spice. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.”
It’s the Holidays Day again… wasn’t it just Mother’s Day, my husband’s birthday, my babysitter’s anniversary, my doggie’s birthday…so many days to celebrate and commemorate- I seriously cannot keep up financially or mentally. I am also probably one of the worst people when it comes to remembering special days like birthdays and anniversaries. And I have honestly STOPPED trying to buy my husband presents. In fact, the last time my kids bought him a leather wallet for Chanukah, he said his raggedy old worn one- whose zipper no longer functions- was still perfectly good to use and he … RETURNED said gift.
Keep reading for some great gifts and hairiday tips you can bestow upon your favorite guys.
So rather than buy him yet ONE more gift that he’ll stealthily return, I’ve decided this holiday I’m going to get him something that- despite his insistence that he doesn’t need- he will NOT be able to return since my son can use it too! See it’s a win-win! Of course finding that elusive gift that both of them can legitimately bask in was the predicament- until I found Old Spice care products. My husband and son tested them out in this video below:
The truth is my son spends an inordinate time styling his hair in general and so does my husband! With the Old Spice collection of styling products I think we will have all the tools they will both need from putty to gel to paste to pomade to forming cream to fiber wax. I can’t wait to see how he looks with each of the different products.
With Old Spice Give your Guy the gift of Stylish hair! Style tips from my two guys: For those who like the short not too perfect ,a little purposely messy look, try the paste, which is for hair that just wants to mess around, or the pomade which provides moderate hold and low shine finish for hair that’s reworkable again and again.
Bottom line-Using Old Spice will help any dad and tween boy spread holiday cheer with style.
A few of their favorites:
Old Spice Pomade – Provides Moderate Hold and Low Shine Finish, for hair that’s reworkable, again and again and again and again … and then again.
Old Spice Paste – Medium Hold and Textured Finish, for hair that just wants to mess around. Natural, casual and relaxed like you just got out of bed all day long.
Old Spice Putty – High Hold and Low Shine Finish, for hair that’s sturdy, yet shapeable. But not silly … that’s a different kind of putty.
Old Spice Fiber Wax – Flexible Hold and Shine, for versatile hair that always bounces back – similar to the greatest comeback story ever told about great hair.
Old Spice Forming Creme – Natural Hold and Shine, for hair that doesn’t try too hard because it doesn’t have to. Relax and take your foot off the gas – your hair’s in the driver’s seat.
Another Style Tip for the holiday: Don’t let your dad or tween boy get caught with his pants down– buy him a Mission Belt, a Shark Tank darling that helps fight global hunger and poverty with every belt sold. The no-holes leather belts come in a variety of colors and also licensed belts for the NCAA, NBA and NHL! From $34.95-$54.95, sold online or at select specialty retail stores. When you buy a Mission Belt, you become a part of a great philanthropic effort – THE MISSION. A dollar from every belt goes to fight hunger and poverty worldwide through micro-lending. These micro-loans range from $25-$500 dollars per loan. Small loans make HUGE differences. There are millions of industrious, motivated people striving and fighting for a better life and sometimes the only thing holding them back is a little capital to get started. It’s a hand up, not a hand out.
Another style tip/gift for Dads and tween boys who love tees for sport or for lounging around? If it’s their go-to garment and they enjoy reading books they will LOVE these tees from Out of Print Clothing! With more than 100 book titles, OoP lets a guy express his love for books with their clever roundup of goods including playful socks, quirky totes, coasters and matchbook sets to tees and notebooks starting at $10.Also, Out of Print makes a great gift because of its one-for-one mission. With each purchase, one book is donated to Books for Africa. Since the start of the company in 2010, OoP has donated more than 1 million books to communities in Africa.
Not a Style tip but an experience–PLEYGO is giving the dad ( and tween boy in your life) the gift of playtime this holiday with an online sharing service for Legos! Pleygo is a brand new innovative service (the Netflix of Legos!) which provides kids and adults unlimited access to the world of Lego at a minimal cost. A favorite pastime for many dads and their kids is Legos. Many dads built Lego creations as kids and now get to have fun with their own kids. Playing with Legos together gives dad and kids time to bond and create. In a world of increasing virtual games, many classic toys are being pushed aside for tablet and video games. Lego sets continue to be one of the most popular toys among kids of all ages with 72% of families in the US owning at least one set. Lego has been proven to help children to develop their imagination, concentration and problem solving skills.
What better way is there to honor the dad or tween boy in your life than by giving them these Stylish personalized notepads or mounted print of family photos to hang in their bedroom or office? For the tech savvy dad and tween boy Tiny Prints also offers, iPhone cases that can be designed with pictures of the kids, family, or a recent vacation.
The best gift to make dad and a tween boy feel loved? Give him a Tattly Designer Temporary Tattoo Medal: You Are Loved. A guy can be bold and wear it on his sleeve or keep it safe by wearing it near his heart.
And for the dad ( and his tween boy) who is a total foodie give him a MANTRY. Each Mantry includes 6 full size artisan food products delivered to their door packed in a Handmade Wooden Crate and custom Manual detailing product stories and recipes.

Happy Holidays to the dads and tween boys in your life!! Which of these gifts will you be getting for them?
I know my husband really loves Old Spice products. He uses some hair stuff and body wash right now from them.
I love the idea of the Mantry subscription! I saw this earlier today and knew it would be perfect for my guy, so I’ve added it to my shopping list.
I love that belt! My husband would also love it along with a Mantry subscription. Thanks for the ideas!
Old Spice brings back memories of my dad. I miss him a lot but think of him whenever I smell Old Spice on someone.
What great gift ideas. Sometimes men can be so hard to shop for! My husband likes Old Spice because of how it smells so I often include that stuff in his stocking.
Old Spice makes such great products for men. It’s such an easy gift to cross off the list!
For boys that are in between the toys and adult things, this is perfect! I have a couple of those on my gifting list this year.
I love these ideas! I get Old Spice gifts for my husband and son every year. They love it!
Pleygo sounds awesome! My husband would love that. He’s been a Lego geek for his entire life.
My husband loves Old Spice and I love the smell. This is a great gift idea for my husband’s stocking this year.
These are great. Old Spice takes me back to my teens for sure!
I bookmarked the Out of Print website. They have a ton of cool gifts for just about everyone on my holiday list.
What wonderful gifts ideas for both fathers and their sons. My husband is a huge fan of Old Spice and our little boy loves using the same “man products” as daddy!
I always get my husband Old Spice products for his stocking. This year i think he would love the Putty for his hair.
Those are all great ideas! My husband isn’t too hard to shop for, but my dad is near impossible. I think he’d love the Mantry. Something new is always fun to try.
What a great gift ideas. I will add this on my list.. Thank you for sharing this.
I love all your tips. Perfect gift ideas this holidays. I enjoy reading your post.
These stuff are so cool! My husband will love that Old Spice and Pleygo for my son! 😀
Old Spice has been around for a long time.
I remember my dad using it and seeing it around when I was a small child.
Old Spice is a great product line. I have always loved the original scent. I get my Son some every year for Christmas.
These are some pretty nifty ideas for Dads and tweens that are rad. I love these ideas, will have to pick up some of these ideas for the last minute shopping I am sure I will have to do!
My hubby gets Old Spice every year at Christmas. He loves the whole line of products. I think he would really enjoy the Mantry box too!
Old Spice has always been a go to gift for when buying something for my Dad. I just love their holiday packaging!
I love hearing about gift ideas. Im going to have to check them out.
Tween boys are so hard to buy for I find. I HATE it. These are some great ideas, hopefully mine would appreciate! We are big fans of old spice in our house!
I’ve seen the Mantry box before and wondered about it, so it’s nice to see your write-up here.
The Old Spice is a favorite here. I love the smell of it! It’s so nostalgic and clean.
My husband and our sons would love these gift suggestions. They hog the mirror more than me! Always trying to fix their hair, making sure every strand is where it is supposed to be. Haha. Old Spice is a great brand and has been my family’s choice for hair grooming. I remember my dad and grandfather using their pomade, shaving cream and after shave lotion.
Awesome ideas! I am getting some Old Spice stuff for my nephews and my son’s stockings.
These look like amazing products. Old Spice is one of my son’s favorites. I would love to win this prize pack for him! I am following you on facebook, instagram, twitter and pinterest and I subscribed to your newsletter!
