I took the guesswork out of shopping for men and found some great gift ideas! These are all CO brands that I love and support.

  1. Maroon Bell Outdoor is a CO brand that makes outdoor-inspired apparel, hats and accessories such as these gorgeous buffalo leather gloves. You can feel good about your purchase because they give back 3% of their sales to several non-profits. Price: Gloves $65 Hat: $29holiday gift guide for himholiday gift guide for himholiday gift guide for him

  3. Vortic Watche Co. (a CO company) makes small batch, custom, watches that are unique and totally customizable. For the man who truly appreciates a well-made, one-of-a-kind watch.  Price: Build your own watches start at $995
  4. Strong Water makes specialty cocktail bitters, perfect for gift-giving. I recommend the herbal cocktail bitter sampler box or the old fashioned cocktail kit.  Price: $29.95

  5. Last Exit Goods has so many great products that are perfect for gifting! Some of my favorites are the leather wrapped solid copper carry-on flask (comes with a wood gift box)  and the  leather Fly Reel Case. The case comes in small medium and large and is lined with genuine shearling. Any angler would be thrilled to receive this!                                                                                      Price: $Flask is $299 (comes with a lifetime warranty on the flask and the leather) and the small reel case is $165  (Subscribe to their newsletter to receive a 10% off coupon!)holiday gift guide for him

  6. Sword and Plough is an American made, veteran owned company you can get behind. They donate 10% Of Net Profits To Veteran Initiatives and each bag and accessory is made out of repurposed military surplus and durable military grade materials. The Blue Signature Rucksack and the Green Signature Messenger Bag are two great options for the guy who commutes or travels.  Price: Backpack is $289 Messenger bag is $279 (They offer a military discount!)

  7.  Grooming products from Floyd’s 99 Barbershop with a gift card to get his hair cut would be a perfect gift idea for any guy!  I put together some of our favorite styling products in a galvanized tin basket and added a wood comb I found on Amazon. Price: From $16.25
  8. Distilled Bath and Body makes an amazing product called Pit Liquor, a natural deodorant without all the nasty chemicals. My favorite scent is the Whiskey Black Pepper,  but I honestly love them all! (And these are not just for men!) The spicy woodsy scent is addicting and the best part… this stuff works my friends. You can save 5% by gifting your man a subscription where products are automatically delivered on your schedule. Reuse these spray bottles when the deodorant is all gone! You could make a DIY room refresher spray, a makeup setting spray, or your own essential oil body spray.  Price: $14.50 for a 3.4 oz jar holiday gift guide for him
  9. For the guy who loves the outdoors and has a love for travel, Wanderwide makes a  National Parks Register Print that is unique and sure to match any man cave or office.  Each print comes with a stamp and inkpad so they can track which parks they have been to. They also have the 50 states, 14ers, and world wonders. For every adventure register purchased, $1 is donated to a foundation that’s committed to preserving the beautiful places showcased in that print. Price: $59 for just the print

This has been the fastest year of my life. Time se This has been the fastest year of my life. Time seems to be flying by at an astonishing speed. Anyone else ? 
I keep thinking we just moved here and realized it’s been almost a year in VA ! How on earth is that even possible? 
At the same time, it feels like it has been years since we’ve been in Montana and a lifetime since Denver. I feel like Theo was just born but also I feel like baby Ben has been here with us for ages. Time is weird. I remember as a child, I would roll my eyes to adults talking about how fast I was growing and how time was flying. To me, time moved at a snails pace and I just couldn’t wait for the next big thing. To be double digits old, to be a teenager, to be out of high school… even when I became a mama with my first, I was always looking forward to his next milestone. It will be easier once he sits up, when he starts to crawl, when he talks, when I can send him to school. As a young first time, mom, with no real support system or family around, I think I was in survival mode for a long time. I wish I could go back and savor each and every moment, and not always be looking ahead. Now in this season of my life, it can be hard for me to look ahead at all. I can’t even imagine Ben and Theo older. Or my almost 11 year old as a high schooler. 
I miss the days when the time between breakfast and dinner seemed like an eternity. When I was a child bored sitting outside in my backyard creating and imagining magical worlds and completely unaware what time it was. 
Anyone relate?
We spent Thanksgiving down in NC with my family an We spent Thanksgiving down in NC with my family and had such a good time. We did a lot in just a few days, but Liam’s favorite part was catching lizards with his cousin. Look at that grin ! 
My favorite part was going through our old family slides and getting in a quick kayak trip with my sisters. It was fun to be all together for meals and seeing the kids hang out. Liam has never grown up around any cousins because we’ve always lived in a different state. It made me sad for what he may be missing out on. When I was a child, my dad’s side of the family got together for Christmas and the house was full with kids running around. I have some really great memories in that house. We do try to see my immediate family for Christmas at least every other year, and this year we combined Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was a chaotic but special time. I was really missing my sisters and wish they lived down here. But I’m actually closer to Illinois than I have ever been. And I’m only 5 hours from my folks now. It’s been 12 years this December since we left home to move out West. (Feels longer) 
Holidays are usually the hardest for me, and I get so homesick. Now I have a weird feeling of missing my sisters in Illinois but also crazy homesick for Montana. These past few weeks my heart has ached for home there. I never missed Colorado like I miss Montana. My entire family misses it there and sometimes I wish we never had to leave. If only it wasn’t a 36 hour drive from my parents in NC ! 😩 And I do cherish all this time I’ve been able to spend with my parents here. 
Do you live away from your home state ? Do the holidays make you homesick too?
Four months old ! Benny, you are so loved 💕 Be Four months old ! Benny, you are so loved 💕

Benjamin is celebrating his first Thanksgiving surrounded by family down in North Carolina. My sisters and their family’s drove down from Illinois and my boys are loving being around their cousins. It’s nice being all together this year. 
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I have been using and loving @bendsoapcompany for I have been using and loving @bendsoapcompany for me and my kids for a while now, and I can’t say enough good things about this brand and their products. I just got some of their special holiday scents, and oh how I wish you could smell this box ! Mint mocha, peppermint, holly berry, chai tea … 😍 SO good. I need to order Winter Woods and Pine because they’re probably amazing and I think my hubby would like those. 
You can create your own seasonal gift set or shop one that they have curated on their website. They are super affordable and high quality and come in a cute box ready for gifting (or for yourself😉) I know you’re going to love it. Everything is natural and great for sensitive skin. I am prone to eczema on my hands in the winter, and the goats milk soap really makes a difference. 
Consider shopping small this Black Friday ! Their entire shop will be 20% off ! 
Please use my link in my bio (affiliate) to check out all the different products and gift ideas they have. The lip balms and bars of soap are perfect stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, or neighbor gifts. If you have any questions about products, DM and I can tell ya what I’ve tried so far and what I recommend.
It’s been years since I’ve done an intro post It’s been years since I’ve done an intro post , so here it goes! 
I’m Natalie (or Nat) - mama of 3 boys, wife to Nate. If you’ve been around since the beginning, many years ago I was newmommasurvival where I blogged about my life in Denver. Then in 2018 we moved to NW Montana and my handle was changed to My Mountain Wild. We very unexpectedly had to leave MT and moved to NC last year, to live near my parents who retired there. Then I switched my handle because I thought we would be staying on the coast. This past January we ended up buying a house here in the blue ridge mountains of Virginia. (I was missing the mtns!) I’ve thought about going back to My Mountain Wild because my Etsy shop is still that name.. what a pain to switch it all back over again ! I should have just waited. Oh well ! 🤦🏻‍♀️
So a little about me - I have a lot of interests, & that’s why you won’t see me sticking to the “rules” of niches here. We moved to a cute house on a hill in VA with 22 acres & BIG dreams for this property. We’ve just had so much going on that we haven’t been able to set any money aside for fencing yet. Once those fences are up, we will start acquiring our animals that I’ve dreamed of for many years.
I like to garden, have ducks & chickens, a rabbit named Copper, a white husky named Bowie, & 2 kittens- Bagheera + Kit Kat. 
I am a homemaker, homeschool mama, & homesteader. See a theme here ? 😉
I am on my 4th full year homeschooling my 10 year old. We are “eclectic” homeschoolers because we follow a mix of styles. 
The forest is my happy place, & I love to forage with my kids. I have been casually studying herbalism for the past 6 years & enjoy stocking my at-home apothecary. I strive for a slower simpler life, but end up pretty busy. I am a wildandfree leader which is a local outdoor homeschool nature group that meets on Fridays. I love Jesus and my family fiercely. I like to share tidbits of motherhood , crafts, pockets of my home, outdoor lifestyle, seasonal living, & really anything that makes me happy. 
So thank you for being here ! And if you’re new, please check out my blog mysimplewild.com

Anything we have in common??
