Watches always make great gifts. This year, one of our favorites is this Q Timex Reissue diver watch. Styled after old-school watches of the Seventies, the Reissue looks much more expensive in person than it is, ensuring that sought-after eye-widening when he unwraps it. Plus, it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, so your gift is sure to survive swims, showers and rain.

It’s a huge collection of officially-licensed gear from just about every popular artist, including David Bowie, Ice Cube, The Beatles and dozens more. It’s much easier (and much cheaper) than scouring thrift shops for that vintage artist tee.

Opinel’s highly affordable pocket knives hit way above their price range. Firstly, the French knives are beautiful (it’s been recognized as one of the “100 best designed items in the world” by the Victoria and Albert Museum). But, thanks to a hard carbon blade and a secure locking mechanism, the knife isn’t all looks: It’s durable and versatile enough for camping, everyday use or whittling.

Everyone wants a PlayStation 5 right now, making it one of the most sought-after gifts of the year — Valentine’s Day or otherwise.

There are also tons of games already available on the PS5, including Battlefield 2042, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and many more. However, the PS5 has been in short supply due to such high demand, which means you’ll need to go through a reliable re-sale website like StockX.

Carrying a water bottle can get annoying — and lead to purchasing plastic bottles. This stylish, eco-friendly bag solves that problem: it fits two reusable water bottles (or coffee mugs) so users can more easily transport liquids. The colors of the liner and exterior are customizable too, and the liner can be removed for easy washing in case of spills in the bag.

Patrón Sherry Cask Añejo Tequila
Image Credit: Patrón
This year, consider gifting a premium tequila instead of that same bottle of whiskey. Patrón’s Sherry Cask Añejo, for example, brings a rich, complex profile to rival high-end bourbon or scotch. It’s distilled like a classic tequila but aged in sherry casks for a unique flavor. He can drink it just like a whiskey, whether neat, on the rocks or in an añejo old fashioned, and enjoy notes of oak, fruit and nuts in addition to the expected agave. Chances are he doesn’t have anything like it in his bar.
Purchase: $86.99 at Drizly

Naked Cashmere Mateo Sweater

Elevated loungewear is quickly becoming part of our uniform. This 100% cashmere sweater from Naked Cashmere is exactly what we mean: it’s ridiculously cozy yet pulled-together enough to wear into the office. The crewneck features athletic-inspired details like accent seam stitching, and, as with anything cashmere, it’s also as soft as possible. Chances are you’ll see him wearing it very often.
Purchase: $250 at Naked Cashmere

Fun Factory Manta
Image Credit: Amazon
Is this a sex toy? Yes. Is it also a great gift? Absolutely. Guys are using sex toys more than ever, and certain products, such as this Manta, can actually be used for couples play as well.
The odd-looking device features a soft, vibrating silicone head that functions as a stimulating stroker. Alternatively, during penetrative sex, he can hold the vibrating head around the bottom of his shaft. This ups the pleasure for him, obviously, but also stimulates her clitoris. So really it’s a gift for both parties.
Purchase: $162.29 at Ella Pardis
