Well, bros, it’s that time of the year when you need to quit procrastinating and make some decisions on what you want to ask Santa Claus for this Christmas. Just like I did last year, I’m doing you bros a solid today and giving you an extensive list of Christmas gift ideas. If you don’t know what to get yourself or someone in your family for Christmas this year you can just consult this epic list of gifts for men, or not, it’s your choice.
My family typically has a lot of trouble buying Christmas gifts for me and that’s why I take a lot of joy in putting together the BroBible Holiday Gift Guide each year. Because this all-encompassing gift guide for men is proof that it’s really not that hard to pick out a gift for someone if you just do enough research.
I’ve been passively compiling this list for months, and while I’ve actually bought some of the stuff on this list already many of the things below are items I’ve got my eyes on, gift ideas I think you bros will dig. Now without further ado, let’s get shopping!
The 2016 BroBible Holiday Gift Guide: 50 Things We Want For Christmas
Traeger Tailgater Wood-Fire Pellet Grill/Smoker
In the past month, the Tailgater from Traeger Grills has become my favorite item on the planet. This wood-fire grill/smoker is fed by wood pellets, features an electric temperature dial, and cooks the most delicious smoked bourbon maple BBQ chicken wings you’ve ever seen. I would rank this #1 on any man’s Christmas Wish List for 2016, it’s simply a ‘must have’ for every guy.

I’ve shown this to several people and it always blows their mind, it’s definitely a perfect holiday gift.
