3 Everyday Essentials Every Guy Needs

Every man has the go-to gear they can’t go without a day. Said items can vary from man to man, but most of us rely on a similar arsenal. In this day and age, it is even more critical to carry the right things, and there are certain tools everyone needs for whatever the day has in store for you.

No matter your profession or lifestyle, a carefully curated selection of everyday items will give you a greater ability to develop a routine and tackle every task thrown your way. With that in mind, read on to find out some everyday essentials you may already know or may not.

Fresh Boxers

Underwear usually gets brushed aside as something you purely get for birthdays and Christmas, or maybe you only opt for cheap multipacks from supermarkets. But this shouldn’t be the case. As an essential piece of everyday clothing, you should treat yourself right and set yourself up for a relaxing day. When you think about it, it is surprising that the first thing you put on in the morning, and the last thing you take off at night, isn’t the most expensive piece of clothing we own.

A good rule of thumb is getting into the habit of buying a new (affordable) pair of boxers every month; whether that be manually or via a subscription service is completely up to you. But having the freedom of rotating through new and fresh boxers every day is an investment you will be endlessly thankful for – trust me!

There are plenty of shops to choose from, too; whether you opt for basic plain boxers or like to venture out with unique patterns and designs, the choice is yours. A personal favourite of mine is going for football-inspired boxers, it adds a touch of personality to your overall look, and you can support your team in the process.

Pegboards

Now that lockdowns are a thing of the past, we are starting to see more and more hybrid and fully remote options for work. But it can be hard to stay on task and clued up with all the day-to-day tasks assigned to you, and that’s where products like pegboards come in handy.

Pegboards are no new invention, but they are becoming increasingly popular with the likes of Ikea and other large-scale sellers making use of them.

They were historically used for hanging out power drills and other building equipment, and of course, you can still use them for this reason if you desire. Many people are now using them to hang up things like whiteboards, checklists, drawing equipment, and whatever small items they can hold that can make your working day that bit easier.

Pegboards are also highly modifiable, allowing you to show your creative side. So why not take a trip to the shops and pick one up? It may help you out more than you realise.

Wallet / Card Holder

For something that gets used almost every day for most men, it’s very rarely a considered purchase. Similar to the previously mentioned boxers, wallets are also something that is usually given as a gift, and so they may not be quite fit for purpose.

If you find that you only carry cards and are very much moving with the times, you may want to consider a cardholder as opposed to a wallet.

Streamline in their design; card holders are a much better alternative for taking up less space in your pockets and tend to look much better than most wallets.

This carries on to the next point. If you are like me and are rather forgetful and like having everything in one place, you may want to consider a card holder that fits onto your phone.

This stylish piece of equipment is attached to the back of your phone or fixed into a case. This means everything is all together in one place, and if you use your phone a lot, you are much less likely to lose it.

For some, a traditional wallet may still be the best option. In this case, you will want to consider function and purpose when buying. Do you mind how it looks? Do you carry a lot of change around? Do you require multiple cash sleeves? These are just a handful of the questions you should be asking yourself.

To Conclude

Putting time and effort into setting up your everyday essentials is a worthwhile investment and can make your day-to-day life much easier. With some simple investments, you have the potential to pay off a happier, easier, and more enjoyable life.
