What do men want this holiday season? The answer isn’t as simple as one would hope.
First, to find the best gifts for him to unwrap this Christmas, you’ll need to know his interests. For athletic types, they’ll need a percussion massage gun from Hyperice with a heated head attachment for optimal muscle recovery. The Whoop 4.0 health and fitness tracker is a game changer for utilizing biometric data to level up his performance while monitoring his recovery, stress levels, and even his sleep statistics. Speaking of sleep, restless types can reap the benefits of tech gadgets that make for unique wellness gifts for men, from Sense.Ai’s 5-in-1 at-home neurofeedback system to HigherDose’s Infrared PEMF Go Mat. If he’s an outdoorsman, gift him Yeti’s high-quality, stainless steel cooler or the portable Square One Mini Keg that allows him to make the most of his bonding time with the boys in nature. The king of cocktails will get creative with a unique smoking cloche, while the chef of the family will go wild for Carbone’s signature spicy vodka sauce packs. Oh, and if he loves his golf, Rapsodo’s new Mobile Launch Monitor 2 Pro and Golf Simulator will help him to perfect his swing from the comfort of his home.
The holidays are also a great time to treat him to the finest luxury designer goods, from Ralph Lauren Purple Label’s classic cashmere sweaters to Zegna’s new rugged-yet-elegant Triple Stitch Vetta Sneakers. Look to Cartier for the most charming slim card case or Hermes for a timeless cashmere scarf that will make him feel like a million bucks on Christmas morning. Another sure-bet luxury gift idea for men this Christmas is one of the best colognes from Byredo, Montblanc, Gucci, or L’Objet that’ll provide an extra boost of swagger into the new year. Scented bathing gift sets from Molton Brown and Malin + Goetz are also a little luxury he’s likely to overlook, yet will greatly appreciate.
For the commuting dad and constant traveler, the new Ember Tumbler is just what he needs to drink his morning coffee on the go at the ideal temperature, while the crazy-popular Stanley insulated tumbler will keep him hydrated throughout the day. On planes or trains, the new Beats Studio Pros are a must-have for noise-cancelling bliss. If he’s more of an Airpods Pro kind of guy, Belkin’s new 2-in-1 wireless charger will make sure his iPhone and earbuds stay charged, no matter where the day takes him with his retro-inspired Wilson leather weekender in tow.
Every guy loves a comfy, cozy gift for the holidays. Crocs’ sleek clogs are great for at-home foot support, but if he could use some casual winter footwear for the cold weather season to keep his toes warm, adidas Puffylette shoes and Bombas Gripper Slippers are fine choices for any man on your holiday shopping list. Winter warriors also are best equipped with a shiny Canada Goose puffer coat and Cozy Earth’s Classic Beanie to combat the cold.
Finding a great gift can be a daunting task for any person on your list, but when it comes to the men in your life, especially men who seem to have everything and want absolutely nothing, even an expert gift giver can find themselves at a loss for ideas. Sometimes, it just requires a little more thought to your gifting approach.
Don’t fret, fellas, because we did the research and product testing to find something special that you’ll actually want this year. From grooming tools to fresh gear to elevate his ‘fits, these gift ideas for men are sure to make him grin from ear to ear.
