71 Best Gifts for Men That Won’t Disappoint
Guys are notoriously hard to shop for, so finding the perfect gifts for the men in your life can be a challenge. What do you buy for the dad who says he needs socks for the fifth year in a row? (Hint: definitely not the socks he’s been buying himself.) Or the brother with a splurge-laden wish list of expensive gadgets and watches? (Hint: neither of those things.) Or the husband who would be happy with no gift at all (or worse, a gift card)? (Hint: not nothing… Also, can’t relate!)
The answer is a set of cozy Bombas socks. Or an Ooni gas-powered pizza oven. Or a stylish Shinola desk clock. Or any of the very covetable presents on this list, which we compiled specifically to please even your pickiest, unhelpful-hint-giving (favorite) men.
So, without further ado, we present to you, the 71 best gifts for men.

We all lose things; there’s no getting around that. But have them slap an AirTag on that thing they keep misplacing—keys, phone, headphones, shame (just kidding on that last one, we can’t help there)—and it’ll instantly lower their stress levels.
Sometimes, socks are the answer. But instead of going for their usual suspect, upgrade to Bombas. This set comes with eight pairs made of the brand’s signature cotton and stay-up construction. Plus, each purchase means Bombas will donate a pair of socks (or eight, in this case) to people in need.
The lightest-weight sneaker imaginable, On Cloud 5s are engineered for an active lifestyle. Your sporty dude can wear them all day long, from the gym to the streets.
Wireless charging is not the sexiest of tech categories. More often than not, a wireless charger looks bulky…but not this one. This leather-clad charger doubles as a catchall dish, perfect for dropping keys and a phone after walking in the door.
They can never have too many Apple Watch bands. I mean, maybe there’s a limit, but this breathable nylon design won’t put them over the edge. It’s a great option if they often forget to swap between “day” and “workout” bands.
