My Husband’s Favorite Products of 2025

Bart’s list of favorite products of the year has been going for three years (you can see the 2024 list here, the 2023 list here, and the 2022 list here), and he’s back with his favorite products from 2025!

(In case you missed MY favorite product post of the year, it’s here! And it contains a little more exercise related stuff).

My Husband’s Favorite Products of 2025

creatine chewing gum
Bart bought this and then when he finished his jar, he ordered another highly rated jar. He tried it and the results were so bad that he immediately returned it and went back to what he looked forward to every day.

Bart said: Apparently Creatine is really good for me as I get older, from muscle to brain health. Finding something that made me WANT to drink it every day was a breakthrough.

Core Strength
One of my best gifts for Bart about five years ago was a mini fridge for our gym and our fridge is always stocked with these protein shakes!

Bart said: The tastiest way to get 42 grams of protein after a workout.

Kettlebells
Bart loves having a home gym (you can see a little tour of it here) and this is a new addition he’s really excited about.

Bart said: I had avoided this for years and suddenly I fell in love.

Gradual Running Shirt
With the cold weather here, Bart added some of these products to his workout wardrobe and he loves them as much as any other product from the G Gradual brand.

Bart said: What started as liking their pants “gradually” turned into buying everything they made.

Facial Lotion
The perfect combination with her detailed skin routine. . . washing his face with a bar of Irish Spring in the shower.

Bart said: I love the SPF 15 – it doesn’t feel greasy at all and it’s very cheap (more affordable than the Cetaphil I’ve been using for a long time).

Hair Matte Cream
Pretty sure Bart didn’t own a single hair product when we got married. He has come a long way!

Bart said: I found this at the salon and was so happy to find it on Amazon.

Standing Desk
This is a huge improvement for him and now I’m considering getting one myself!

Bart said: I’ve been thinking about getting one for years but it seems complicated and difficult for some reason. This desk is super easy and a great upgrade for my office. Bonus: I paid my 10 year old to assemble it and he did a phenomenal job!

Creator Microphone
On the other hand, I didn’t consider holding one myself because I didn’t want another meeting.

Bart said: I have enough online meetings that a very simple desktop microphone will do and this is my favorite microphone.

Training Running Shorts
I love these shorts – they are the perfect length and really flattering. I always thought men’s gym shorts were pretty frumpy until this came into the picture. A+ from me.

Bart said: This may sound funny, but I’ve been looking for a good pair of athletic shorts that I love for years. It’s been hit or miss and I’ve finally found something I really like and bought enough pairs for the whole week!

Nike Men’s Flex Control
Bart is a sneaker guy (and comfort is his number one priority). This is his favorite.

Bart said: The white color is risky for shoes as it gets dirty quickly, but I find I wear it more often than the black version and it’s quite easy to clean.

Pickleball Paddle
Is this the Pickleball paddle I recommend for beginners? No possibility. But for someone who cares a lot and plays a lot? This one is a winner.

Bart said: Give me the best paddle. Not cheap but totally worth it!

And here are the picks from the husbands of the women on my team!

Melin Hat
I bought this for my husband last year and he wears it all the time. It runs really hot, especially off the head and he loves how breathable this one is and the fit. It was very expensive, but since he wasn’t a hat collector, I knew this hat would be worn many times, so it was worth buying.

Exfoliating Bath Towel
I put this in his stocking last year and he was very hesitant. I finally opened it and took a shower to motivate him to use it. And wouldn’t you know it – he uses it every day!

Black Rock Grill
I bought my husband a Blackstone grill for Father’s Day and it ended up being a great gift for myself – especially since my husband cooks a lot more now! We use it all the time and love grilling up big burgers, tacos, and breakfast fare galore! The large surface of the griddle is much more versatile than the average BBQ grill. It’s easy to cook a lot of food at once to feed a crowd and we love hosting taco nights, breakfasts, and neighborhood BBQs!

Hamburger Spatula
This spatula is great for flipping burgers on a Blackstone (or any grill). It’s extra wide and great for toasting or flipping pancakes when a normal sized spatula won’t cut it.

Provide Gloves
I bought this for my husband last Christmas, and he absolutely LOVES it. He had used some cheap leather gloves from the home improvement store, but they wore out quickly and did nothing to keep his hands warm during winter yard work. He’s outside a lot – cleaning gutters, doing yard projects, working in the cold – and these gloves are a total upgrade. The material is warm, waterproof and very durable. You do need to treat it with wax, but this is a small step in knowing how durable and high-quality the product is. I’m sure this will serve him well for many years!

Danger! Calendar
This is something my husband uses every day…and he is fully committed. He had done it every day Danger! calendar for six years now, and I honestly don’t think he can live without it. His parents and siblings had them too, and they continued to hold simple competitions throughout the year. This is a definite favorite that is used over and over again. Plus, it’s fun – every day brings something new Danger! clues to solve!
