Men are really not that hard to please. “There’s a misconception that it’s impossible to shop for men,” say David Fishbein and Joseph Miller, co-founders of the men’s boutique The Optimist, in Culver City, CA. “But sometimes, introducing a risk as a gift is a great way to get men to try it.”
The best gifts for men aren’t about going completely out of the box, they explain, but rather about expanding his interests or needs in a new or novel way. “We like to buy gifts that someone wouldn’t buy for themselves,” Fishbein suggests, “[and] we like to think about choosing something that would benefit their lives or upgrade where they spend time.”

Among their picks for the best gift for men: “Things for the bar, for the desk, for getaways and things that smell good,” Miller says. Think apothecary products, unique tech accessories, and utilitarian clothing. And if all else fails? “Don’t underestimate the power of giving guys a really quality, everyday item that they will use again and again,” Fishbein says.
The Best Gifts for Men: Holidays 2025
We chose the best gifts for him based on uniqueness (i.e., not the same package of underwear) but also usability in his day-to-day life. Of course, even with this guidance, choosing that one gift can be tough. To help out, we’ve rounded up some of the best gifts for men that you can buy this season — whether he’s a sports fan, a dapper dresser, or a whiskey enthusiast.
Apple AirPods Pro (3rd Gen)
$219.99 $249.00 12% off
The latest AirPods Pros are our favorite piece of audio gear from Apple, and they make a great gift for just about anyone. For the 3rd Gen model, Apple has improved on all the things that make the AirPods Pro great: Noise-cancellation is more powerful, connectivity is easier, and audio quality has been upgraded. There are also new features like live translation and heart rate sensing that keep the best-selling earbuds ahead of the competition.
Fluance RT82 Record Player
$349.99
After the resurgence of vinyl a few years back, record players are getting better every year. This RT82 Fluance is the one to buy right now, making it one of the best gifts for men, whether he’s an audiophile or a music nerd.
Nixon Custom Watch
$300
Watches are always great gifts. One way to make them even more special is to customize one through Nixon. The beloved watch brand lets you build a 1-of-1 version of a couple of Nixon models, including the best-selling Sentry, linked here.
Masterclass
$5 $10 50% off
If he’s been talking about taking up a new class or you want to gift him more of an experience, you simply can’t go wrong by giving him a MasterClass subscription. The online plan includes a range of fun courses that he can take throughout the year, whether he wants to learn tennis from Serena Williams or cooking from Gordon Ramsay. The bottom line: MasterClass has a lesson for everyone on your list.
Amazon Music T-Shirts
$19.99 $25.00 20% off
Music tees are always a thoughtful gift. Amazon’s Artist Merch shop offers a great selection of official, affordable band tees to choose from, with just about every genre represented. Maybe peek at his Spotify Wrapped to see which artist tee to get.
De’Longhi 15 Bar Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine
$127.49 $199.95 36% off
He makes a trip to the coffee shop to get his shot of espresso every morning, so he’ll love getting his own machine at home. This De’Longhi model checks all the boxes to pull shots, as well as craft cappuccinos at his kitchen bar. It has its own refillable water tank, plus an easy-to-clean filter holder.
PlayStation 5 Pro
$648.99 $749.99 13% off
The PS5 Pro is Sony’s latest PlayStation, and it’s still the best gaming console on the market. As you’d expect from an update, you get better graphics with PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, fast performance, and other game-improving features.
Apple AirTag (4-Pack)
$62.99 $99 36% off
If he hasn’t stocked up on Apple AirTags yet, you know what to do. We like that you can slip these little devices into luggage, attach them to keys, or whatever else you’re worried about losing track of. We recommend this set of four — they’re that necessary.
Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarers
$239.20 $299.00 20% off
Meta and Ray-Ban took the iconic Wayfarer silhouette and layered in smart features you’ll actually use. These AI-powered glasses offer open-ear audio for music and calls, hands-free photo and video capture, and real-time assistance — all without altering the signature look. With voice control and subtle touch gestures, they make smart eyewear feel natural.
Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Speaker
$179.99 $299.99 40% off
The most rock & roll speaker of them all, Marshall’s Acton III takes the brand’s vintage style and gives it the Bluetooth treatment. He’ll love it for its cool looks, but it sounds just as impressive. It’s easy to instantly pair your phone to the speaker to play playlists, and it pumps out beefy bass all over the room.
TheraGun Prime Plus Heated
$399.00
Give the gift of a deep-tissue massage at home this year with Theragun’s Prime Pro massage gun. He can use it to help relieve tension in his muscles after a workout or after getting home from a long commute. It includes a variety of attachments too, whether he wants to target his lower back or focus on a full-body massage. Best of all, this one features a heated massage head for even more relief.
The North Face Thermoball Traction Mule
$59
Whether he’s walking the dog or hanging out around a campfire, he’ll love slipping into The North Face’s stylish Thermoball mules. They’re ideal for staying cozy outdoors thanks to their water-resistant upper and built-in insulation. Bonus: They come equipped with rubber outsoles to help prevent slipping on slick sidewalks.
Boatsetter
Boatsetter has been around since 2012, offering an easy way to get out on the water in cities all over the US. Similar to AirBnB or Turo, Boatsetter lets you rent boats from an owner by the hour or day, including everything from captained luxury sailing yachts to little motorboats for you and a few friends. The rental process is extremely easy, and Boatsetter’s selection is fantastic.
Sony WH1000MX5 Headphones
Another excellent pair of headphones to give him this year are these Sony WH-1000XM5s. The noise-canceling cans provide a zen-like quiet and a host of clever features, like four microphones for calls, touch controls, and an impressive 30-hour battery life.
Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Kettlebell

If he loves to work out at home but doesn’t have much space, Bowflex’s adjustable kettlebell gets the job done.

The kit includes 1,458 pieces and lets him choose between building the Targa or Turbo model. Don’t be surprised if he wants to display it on the mantel once it’s ready to hit the road.
Nintendo Switch

Trust us, the gamer who spends a ton of time on the road wants a Nintendo Switch. The portable console comes with the detachable Joy-Con controllers and lets him play games no matter where he’s traveling this year.
Harley Davidson Generations Jacket
$115.00
This retro-inspired Harley Davidson jacket is the kind of grail you might find at a flea market, replete with splattered motor oil. Thankfully, you can get it new instead. It’s made from nylon and features zippered pockets, cuffs, and secure interior storage.
Abercrombie Essential Popover Hoodie
$52.50 $70 25% off
He’s worn the same sweatshirt for years, so why not upgrade his loungewear with this bestselling hoodie from Abercrombie? It comes in a range of sizes and stylish colors, as well as a soft-to-the-touch cotton and polyester fabric. It’s a no-brainer that he’ll wear to the gym and around the house all year long.
Marlowe No. 123 Men’s Facial Moisturizer
$16 $20 20% off
For whatever reason, some guys (especially younger dudes) still haven’t gotten around to buying a good face moisturizer. If you know anyone like that, get him this moisturizer from Marlowe. It’s lightweight, good for all skin types, and, best of all, costs under $20.
Sonic Editions Music Prints
Think of Sonic Edition’s music prints like posters for grown-ups. The brand offers rare photos of iconic musicians and bands, all in high-quality frames at an affordable price. Their Rolling Stones collection is one of our favorites, but the brand offers a huge range of bands and artists from all genres.
Leatherman Wave+
$119.95
If he doesn’t already have a premium multi-tool, consider getting him this Leatherman Wave+. It’s one of the best-selling pieces from the industry-defining brand and makes a useful companion for everything from backpacking to fishing to everyday use.
Bellroy Hide & Seek Wallet
$95
One of the (many) pieces that guys use long past their expiration date is their wallet. If your loved one needs a new billfold, pick up this best-selling Hide & Seek wallet from Bellroy. It boasts a slim design that can still hold up to 12+ cards and cash of different currencies if you select the “HI” option. Plus, you get some subtle, stylish colors to choose from.
The Lost Explorer Mezcal Tobalá
Mezcal has exploded in popularity over the last few years, making it an excellent gift idea this holiday season. Right now we’re into The Lost Explorer’s tobalá, a highly-awarded small batch mezcal made using 10-year-old agave. It’s got a big nose of cocoa and soil, but the profile is a smooth blend of earthiness, umami, molasses, and agave. Give it to him with some worm salt for a proper tasting experience.
Glenfiddich 18 Year Old
Whisky is almost a cliche gift for him, but here’s the thing: We’re always happy to get it—as long as it’s a nice bottle. A classic, fantastic bottle is this Glenfiddich 18 Year Old. It’s loaded with fresh, rich fruit with notes of cinnamon and toffee, and is sure to please both newbies and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
Sun Home Solstice Infrared Sauna
$5,399 $6,199 13% off
If you’re looking to spoil him with a big gift, consider this infrared sauna from Sun Home. The sauna uses ultra-low EMF (electromagnetic field) heaters and chromotherapy lighting instead of a hot rock system, allowing the whole unit to be smaller and cleaner. It can climb to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and looks great with any interior style.
Supertub Cold Plunge
$3,899
Cold plunge pools are one of the hottest items in the fitness world right now, and for good reason. They leave you feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and energized, and can also help with inflammation and immune health. One of the best ones is this Hydragun Supertub, which I’ve had on my balcony for the past few months. The setup was a breeze, and I love that it just stays cold with minimal maintenance, ready for a plunger at any time.
Isner Mile Beard Kit
$19.99 $24.99 20% off
Shaving kits are another classic gift for men, but I still love them. If he hasn’t used one, he probably won’t buy one for himself, but he’ll be addicted if you get him one. I like this one from Isner Mile that comes with everything he needs to have a better shave or take care of his beard.
