As the holidays roll around, we all find ourselves racking our brains for the perfect presents to gift our loved ones. When it comes to the men in our lives, especially those who seldom reveal their wishlists, the challenge becomes even more daunting. Fear not! Whether he’s your partner, friend, desk buddy, relative, or any guy who may be too cool to tell you exactly what he wants, we’ve curated a list of gift ideas for him. Dive into our guide and watch as his eyes light up with genuine surprise and appreciation.
At first glance, this looks like a bar of soap, but it’s even cooler than that. The metal case slides open to reveal a wax-based fragrance that he can apply to his wrists and neck. Ladies, if you want your man to smell like a sexy lumberjack, sneak this into his stocking.
There is something about men and throwing things at targets. They gravitate toward the activity. Luckily, this dartboard is anything but an eyesore. It’s a classic and it’s built to last through years of fun.
This set comes highly recommended by Chris, who takes quality control incredibly seriously and has no patience for things that aren’t the best of the best. It’s the softest thing he’ll ever wear. But beware, he will only wear these shorts in the house until further notice.
Every man needs an electric shaver that actually works and does it all. This rechargeable OneBlade tool can trim, edge, and shave with a dual-sided blade. And you can’t beat that price!
This leather tech folio has sleeves and compartments for all of his cords and devices — perfect for traveling with all the necessities, Or staying organized at home and work. It’s basically a modern-day briefcase. Pro gifting tip: opt for the personalized debossed foil and he’ll never have to say “Is that my charger?” again.
They are never too old for toys. In fact, if they don’t unbox something to spike their adrenaline, is it even the holidays? This E-skateboard is operated by a remote control, reaching up to 30 mph! He’ll be able to zip around anywhere with the all-terrain wheels and will thank you forever. Be sure to check the box for the $100 off coupon! (Best throw in a helmet.)
This is for that guy who loves any food that packs heat. This 10-pack of collector hot sauces is the 10 hot sauces from the show Hot Ones. It’s fun. It’s unexpected. And he’ll be whipping up breakfast, excited to try a couple before you know it.
Instead of spending thousands of dollars having an outdoor speaker system installed, we got this incredibly powerful, fully waterproof speaker. The sound is out of this world. And if I’m running the girl math numbers correctly, we actually saved money when we bought this.
They might not think they need a toiletry bag, but this will save you when he goes to borrow yours. There are a few separate pouches, and he’ll be able to pack all of his toiletries and then some with the space it offers.
They say there’s something nostalgic about the original gaming devices, and if he’s a gaming fanatic who would have a field day playing games from his childhood, then gift him this. This mini console is preloaded with 20 classic games, along with two controllers, a virtual memory card, and an HDMI cable, so it’s ready to play instantly.
This backpack has been with Chris on countless trips and everyday walks. It’s incredibly lightweight, durable, and somehow fits everything he needs.
Buying a whole suit for your guy can feel…overwhelming. But an incredibly stylish blazer is easy and even more versatile. I love the gingham weave of this one; perfect for dressing up or down.
Golf lovers can be particular about their clubs, but I’ve never seen one turn down new balls. This personalized set will earn you bonus points for thinking he’s a legit enough golfer to have monogrammed golf balls and, naturally, shows you care about his hobbies.
This flat-top griddle, with great reviews at an incredible price point, is for the guy who loves an outdoor cookout and will grill year-round. Smash burgers, anyone?
A subtle chain around a man’s neck is such a good look. This is one of those gifts that he may not be asking for, but will definitely love and always think of you.
This sweat hat liner keeps the sweat and odor at bay in all of his favorite hats. This is a no-brainer gift.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.
