Griddle
We know lots of guys who are grill masters. But let’s talk about a griddle. Who doesn’t love making breakfast on a griddle? It’s fun and convenient, and we swear it tastes better. It is a great place for bacon, eggs, sausage, and some flapjacks to all get done on this one perfect cooktop. We love this tabletop version, but if you have room for a stand-alone griddle (he will love it!) then you can find one here. For all other best gift ideas for the kitchen (curated largely by a guy!) shop our storefront.
Surround Sound System
Surround sound so good it makes you duck, thinking something is flying up from the back. If he already has an amazing TV, this high quality theater sound bar will be a big upgrade for a next level movie-watching experience.
Massage Gun
This is a great gift idea for the guys that work out, work hard, or just have aches and pains in general. This will get knots out of his sore muscles so well it will rival any good massage therapist.
Bose Headphones
These wireless headphones are incredible. Incredible comfort, incredible sound, and incredible noise cancellation. For an immersive experience with the highest quality audio, these can’t be beat. If you have a music lover, or are looking for elite audio gifts for men, this one knocks it out of the park.
Fishing Cart
You are in luck if you have a guy who loves to fish – they love to get anything fishing-related! This cart is a perfect gift for any type of angler, since they will all need a place to store their fishing rods in the colder months. If you want to get a more personal touch and know what type of fish he prefers to fish for, you can buy lures designed for that. The best part is that we got an avid fisherman to curate our fishing store, so you can feel assured that anything you shop in there is something a fisherman will love to get, if this cart isn’t quite right.
Cologne
This is really a win-win situation. If you buy him a cologne that you love the scent of, he is going to smell amazing. He will love it and you will love it. Win-win! Trust us, if you buy him a cologne and tell him that you bought it because you love the way it smells, he will wear it. The best thing is that it doesn’t even matter if its date night! He will wear it because you love the way he smells. We personally love the scent Bad Boy by Carolina Herrera so we are featuring it here.
Gaming Mouse
Is your guy a gamer? Does he game on a computer – otherwise known as mouse and keyboard (mk). First off, tell him he is not better than a console player. Then, you can get him this gaming mouse and tell him that with daily use, it will help improve his aim. It might not, but he will love the gift all the same.
Boots
Good boots are a wardrobe staple—good for hard work and playing hard—and stylish too. It is one of those thoughtful gift ideas that is practical too.
Tools
When you think of gift ideas for men, you think of tools. You are not wrong; they are a great classic gift. This is a good overall tool kit that has a lot included in an easily portable case. If your guy already has a lot of tools, grabbing one specific tool that he doesn’t yet have will definitely be an ultimate gift for him.
Beard Care Kit
I’m not saying that all women love beards on men….but a lot of them do. If you are growing that luscious facial hair, please don’t let it get nasty! This easy maintenance will keep his beard soft and luxurious so that it feels and smells as good as it looks.
Keurig
Just like in a coffee shop, this personal Keurig will brew the perfect cup every time. You could say that this is a great way to give a perfect personalized gift idea, since he will be able to adjust all the settings just the way he likes it.
Portable Battery Charger
A practical gift that he will love, and we dare say, it certainly comes in handy at the most dire of times. Great to have in the car or on the boat. It will charge/jump off your battery, is a flashlight, alarm, and can charge your phone too. A very useful tool that will absolutely pay for itself the very first time you find yourself having to use it. Speaking from experience!
Trimmer
Men, if you are looking through this list, for the love of all that is holy, please trim your nose hairs. Consider this a public service announcement. If you are old enough to have nose hairs, please trim them. Please. Add it to your shaving routine. Tell your friends. Tell everyone. Please. Here is the kit you need to make that happen. If you happen to be shopping gift ideas for men, and you know of one that could use this kit, you know what to do.
Golf Practice Tent
If you have a golfer in your life, you are lucky when it comes to giving gifts. Gifts for men who are golfers have so many options, at so many price points! Golf balls are always great, buy this tent is a great gift idea, as it may be something he won’t buy himself. It will give him something to do if he can’t get out to the golf course but he can still work on his game. Shoot em straight!
Books
Books are always great gifts for men, especially because they can be physical, ebook or audio book version. We regularly recommend this amazing book by Stephen King because it is not horror, but is an amazingly riveting thriller with elements of historical fiction as it involves the assassination of JFK. If you know his favorite books and this book isn’t quite the right fit, check out our Amazon Bookshelf for lots of great books we would recommend. We love to talk books on the blog, so for more information or ideas you can check out our posts here.
Smart Watch
Smart watches are one of those things you don’t really think of until you get one, then you don’t know how you lived without it. If an apple watch is a bit out of your price range, there are lots of great, more affordable options.
Baseball Cap
If he is a football fan or if baseball is a baseball kind of guy, grab a baseball cap of his favorite team and you have gotten a gift that you will see him wear over and over, especially on game day. Have him turn it around for a view just for you.
Yeti Cups
Yeti’s are popular for good reason—they work really, really well. Put some ice water in it at 8 a.m.; it will still have ice water in it at 8 p.m. Coffee stays hot, so you don’t have to hurry and drink it all right away. In terms of great gifts for men, this one is a no-brainer. Pick his preference of color as well as handle or no handle, and you will make him so happy when he opens his gift!
Carhart Rain Defender
These are not your average sweatshirt. These are more like a cold-weather rain jacket in the form of a sweatshirt. If you haven’t worn a Carhart rain defender sweatshirt you are missing out. They are amazing at keeping you warm, and they will definitely keep you dry in all but an absolute deluge. This is a fantastic gift for any man, extra points if he is an outdoorsman or works outdoors. Lots of different colors to choose from. He will love it.
Chef’s Knife
Starting a chef’s collection of high-end knives is an amazing idea for the men in your life who love to cook. Whether he is a chef, home cook, or grill master, having a personal knife collection is something that will mean a lot and last a long time. He will love to get in the kitchen with these types of tools. This brand is really well made, with a super sharp blade and ergonomic handle. Starting a high quality knife collection with the Wusthof Classic Chef’s knife is one of the most amazing gifts. The nice thing about that is you can continue to gift different knives for his collection in the future.
Hey Dudes
Dude! Get your dude some Dudes. They are so comfortable and easy to slip on and off for daily use. The fact that they look great is a bonus.
Bose Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Sometimes you want to listen to music, but it isn’t always a great idea to wear airpods or headphones. This portable speaker with bluetooth connectivity will provide quality sound wherever you need it. When we showed our favorite guy this list before we published it, this was the gift he literally yelled out – YES! So if that isn’t a ringing endorsement, we don’t know what is!
Weekender Bag
A quick day trip, or weekend get away? This weekender is perfect. Stylish and roomy with lots of pockets.
Sun Shirt
When it comes to gifts for men, this shirt is a great idea for a variety of hobbies or an active lifestyle. Fishermen, motorcyclists, golfers, hunters, and gardeners—they all will love and use this shirt to protect them from the sun while they are out doing what they love to do.
Car Scan
A great gift for car guys and not-so-car guys. Scan your car system to see what it reports back to you. Is it something that needs to be looked at by a mechanic, or is it something with a simple fix? This car scan will tell you.

The list of practical gift ideas is great, it helps us from accumulating unwanted or unusable gifts that just take up room in our homes.
