53 Best Gifts for Men That Won’t Disappoint

A black leather wallet is expected. But a slim card holder with Bottega’s signature leather weave? Just the right kind of surprise.

Sometimes a unique pair of cufflinks is just the thing to take a tried-and-true suit to the next level. We love this Kintsugi-inspired design—as would the man in your life who just went on a recent trip to Japan.

This classic wax jacket can easily be dressed up or down—whether you’re headed to the office or Glastonbury festival. Barbour is a classic for a reason—the English brand has nailed the balance between “lightweight and breathable” and “durable enough to qualify as a family heirloom.”

A fully waterproof hat is hard to come by—ask any hiker, cyclist, or Seattleite. This design from athletic brand On has laser-cut panels from increased breathability and a buckle strap for easy adjustment, and there’s a matching top and jacket (hint, hint).

Some of the best men’s gifts come in small packages—like this 18k gold vermeil ring. It’s subtle enough to pair well with a T-shirt but can pull its own weight with a suit as well.

Available in sterling silver or 14k gold, this simple bracelet is the perfect accessory for any outfit.

Made of durable polyurethane exterior and a soft microsuede interior (no scratches here!), there’s enough room for three watches inside.

Indoor slippers are one thing, but backyard slippers? There’s a concept. Sometimes you just have to hop outside for a second. A supportive footbed paired with fleece lining and a non-slip rubber sole makes these a powerhouse without skimping on maximum loungewear-level comfort.

Never underestimate the power of a really good duffel bag. This one seamlessly transforms into a backpack—a massive feature if the guy in your life is often on the go. It’s made with water-repellant fabric, tons of exterior and interior pocket space, a handy water bottle pouch, adjustable straps, and a sleek look that won’t drag their travel outfit down.

A luxe scarf is one of those things we’ll always want but won’t necessarily buy for ourselves. But unwrapping a present and seeing the peek of wool and fringe? You won’t find many people who wouldn’t be delighted to open up a stylish scarf. This design from Acne Studios is the perfect pop of color for any look.

Crafted with Mongolian cashmere, this super soft ribbed beanie is a wintertime staple (we think it would pair perfectly with the brand’s cashmere hoodie). Your man can rock it throughout the winter.

While sweats will always have their place in a loungewear collection, we’re all about the henleys for cooler temps. Made of woven cotton and available in five rich colors, this tee plays well as a layer or on its own with a pair of jeans. He’ll love the versatility, which is a gift in itself.

Again, pajamas and loungewear are always a treat—especially when they’re insanely soft like this sustainable Tencel Modal Eberjey set. The matching button-down top and pull-on bottoms feature white piping for a classic look.

One serious pop of color paired with a tried-and-true neutral—this is what a gift set of socks should be. Made of a super comfortable merino wool blend, they’ll feel like they’re walking on clouds all day long. We’ll stand behind it: Socks make for the best gift, no matter the celebration.

It’s a whole lot of power in a beautiful package. Go forth and skip the Apple Watch in favor of something a bit different.

Getting up is hard and anyone who says otherwise is (probably) lying a little bit. The Hatch lamp helps make it a little easier, probably because it’s a full-fledged wake-up machine in one tiny package.

To round things out, the sound machine is great for lulling people to sleep.
