19 Items Guys Should Be Required To Own

You owe it to yourself.

1. A welcome mat to greet your guests and dry their feet.

2. A coffee pot that doesn't use pods of any kind.

3. A damn good cast-iron skillet to cook everything in.

4. A chef's knife for when you need something extra sharp.

5. A waiter's corkscrew for versatility when boozing.

6. A set of real wine glasses.

7. A pocket knife...but don't take it to the airport.

8. A toolbox in case you need to fix something on the fly.

9. WD-40, because those creaks in the door shouldn't last.

10. A grooming kit because nobody wants nasty nails.

11. A fabric steamer, because you need to get those damn wrinkles out of your clothes!

12. A simple gray hoodie that you can wear with anything.

13. A knit tie to class up your look but still maintain a relaxed feel.

14. A lint roller because lint happens, especially if you have pets.

15. More than one set of bath towels (that aren't white).

16. While we're at it, definitely make sure you have an extra set of sheets (stay away from black sheets if you can, because duh).

17. A journal, because sometimes it's much better to write things down with a pen and paper instead of on a screen.

18. A mirror that let's you see your entire body before you leave the house.

19. And kettlebell for when you can't manage to make it to the gym.
