Have a man on your holiday shopping list who is hard to buy for? Whether you’re shopping for your husband, dad, brother, son, or best friend, downtown Murfreesboro is a great place to find something that fits his personality. From golf shirts and funny tees to vintage finds and a good book, our local shops have plenty of reasons to skip the scrolling and enjoy a little holiday shopping downtown.

For His Everyday Style: The Rustic Rebel

Give his closet a refresh with a stop at The Rustic Rebel. From comfortable hoodies and golf shirts to funny T-shirts that match his sense of humor, you’ll find options for the man who likes to keep things casual. Pick out something he can wear on the golf course, around town, or during a relaxing weekend at home.

For the Man Cave and Golf Lover: The Write Impression

The Write Impression has gift ideas for the man who enjoys his own space. Browse accessories for the man cave, card holders, and gifts for the golf lover. Whether you need a small stocking stuffer or something to go with his favorite hobby, this downtown stop belongs on your list.

For Something Unexpected: Terri Leigh’s

Don’t pass by Terri Leigh’s when shopping for him! This shop’s eclectic mix of gifts makes it a fun place to look for something a little different. With an emphasis on local artists and craftspeople, it’s a great stop for a gift with personality. Take your time browsing, because the best find might be something you hadn’t thought to look for.

For the Vintage Enthusiast: Lil Brit Vintage

If he enjoys clothing with character, add Lil Brit Vintage to your shopping route. Browse vintage clothing for a find that suits his individual style. For the man who enjoys the hunt as much as the gift, make a visit together part of the holiday fun.

For the Man Who Loves Tennessee: 615 Collection

Help him show a little hometown pride with a gift from 615 Collection. Its men’s collection includes Boro hats, Tennessee-themed leather coasters and keychains, beard oil, and other gifts. Whether he loves the outdoors or simply loves calling Tennessee home, there are plenty of options to explore.

🎸 Give the Gift of Music

Sometimes the best gift isn’t another gadget, it’s a lifelong hobby.

For the man who has always wanted to play or already loves making music, consider an instrument or music lessons. Explore handcrafted Tennessee guitars at Gallagher Guitar Co., find something that strikes a chord at Forrest York Guitars, or stop by Concert Musical Supply for instruments, rentals, lessons, and accessories. Whether he’s picking up a guitar for the first time or rekindling an old passion, give him a gift he can enjoy long after the holidays.

For the Handyman: Holden Hardware

For the man who always has a project in the works, stop by Holden Hardware for tools and practical gifts he’ll put to good use. Whether he enjoys tackling home repairs or spending time at his workbench, a new tool makes a thoughtful addition to his collection.

For the Cigar Enthusiast: The Humidor

For the adult cigar enthusiast on your list, The Humidor offers cigars, pipes, and humidors. Make it a stop while you’re exploring the shops around the Square.

For the Man Who Loves a Good Book

Give him a reason to settle into his favorite chair this winter. Browse books and local goods at The Grand Exchange, explore The Grumpy Bookpeddler, or visit The Kingdom Collective for Christian books and faith-centered gifts. A thoughtfully chosen book is a simple way to say, “I saw this and thought of you.”

For a Fun Stocking Stuffer: The Cozy Toad

We hear The Cozy Toad has the best Man Bar! Add it to your shopping route for a fun gift to tuck into his stocking or pair with a few other downtown finds.

For His Grooming Routine & Self Care

Don’t overlook our downtown barber shops when filling those stockings! Woodsviking Barbershop offers beard oils, balms, beard butter, soaps, and other grooming products that make practical gifts he can use well beyond the holidays. Stop in and ask for help choosing something for his routine. 

Even the man who has everything could use some time to recharge. Explore skin care and services at Skin Confidence or Ashley McFarland Aesthetics for a gift that encourages him to take a little time for himself.

For the man who would appreciate an hour of relaxation, consider a massage from The Peaceful Elephant Day Spa or The Nurture Nook Day Spa & Gift Shoppe. A break from his busy schedule might be just the gift he needs.

Grab a coffee, stop for lunch, and enjoy finding gifts in historic downtown Murfreesboro. Ask our local business owners for ideas, too. They can help you find something for the man who already seems to have everything.
