25+ Men’s Gift Ideas That Won’t Disappoint
Grooming Essentials Subscription Box
A well-groomed man is a happy man. Stay equipped with some US-made, no BS grooming goods from the guys at Duke Cannon. You’ll get 3 Big Ass Bars of Soap, solid cologne, exfoliating shampoo, masculine scented candle, and a trusty flask for fifty bucks. ($50/delivery, Duke Cannon).
Full-Grain Leather Boots
A rugged pair of quality leather boots belong in every man’s closet. Warm, durable, and just outright good-looking, a pair of men’s lace-up boots from Thursday Boots does not fall short. Its full-grain leather wears scuffs like armor while the boot’s Goodyear Welt construction supports easy repairs. ($199, Thursday Boots).
State-of-the-Art Air Purifier
When it comes to the air quality in our homes, there’s no excuse for not opting for the best air purification technology available. The Molekule Air unites bleeding-edge air purification technology with a sleek, contemporary design that looks as clean as the air it supplies. With a 360° air intake, the Air takes in air from every angle, capturing and eliminating harmful particles and germs found in every home. Equipped with both a PECO system – a nanocatalyst-coated filter that reacts to light to destroy pollutants – and a secondary pre-filter to capture larger particles, the Molekule Air does its job and does it well. Pair it with the free smartphone app to monitor filter status, control speeds, and create schedules to activate its whisper-quiet mode for even the lightest sleepers. Subscribe to a filter replacement plan for new filters to be delivered just as the old ones need a swap. Smaller and larger models are available depending on room size. Unparalleled functionality, ultra-slick design, 2-year warranty, and air quality peace of mind may just outweigh the Air’s pricetag to treat your living space to the pure, clean air. ($799, Molekule).
Dynamic Stretch Denim
Fusing the classic look of traditional denim jeans with the comfort of gym pants, Mott & Bow’s slim denim might be your new favorite pair of jeans. The secret to the comfort? Modified denim fabric that adds just the right amount of stretch without looking like you’re on your way to yoga class. No doubt these top our list of the best gift ideas for men. ($118, Mott & Bow).
Curated Coffee Subscription Box
Enjoy trying unique coffee outside of what you might find at the grocery store? Trade’s curated coffee subscription may be right up your alley. Take a quick flavor profile quiz, get matched with some coffee roasters, and get freshly-roasted coffee delivered free to your door every 1-6 weeks. We found some new favorites after just our first delivery from Trade. (Starts at $12/bag, Trade Coffee).
Electric Pour-Over Kettle
Coffee and tea lovers alike can agree that the perfect hot beverage comes from a calculated brewing process. That’s where the Fellow Stagg EKG Electric pour over kettle comes in. The de facto Rolex of kettles, the Fellow Stagg hastily heats up water to an exact temp with its 1200 watts of power — and damn does it look good doing it. ($149, Amazon).
All Day Every Day Joggers
We don’t always dress up every single day, so comfort sometimes supersedes style. But what if we didn’t have to choose between one or the other? The All Day Every Day joggers from Public Rec got you covered from a lift at the gym to to a day in the city and everywhere in between. Stylish enough to wear all day. Comfortable enough that you’ll actually want to.
Ministry of Supply Kinetic Blazer
A guy needs to be prepared for any occasion — dressier events included. The Kinetic Blazer from Ministry of Supply gets its name from its Japanese Warp-knit fabric construction, granting unbridled movement with 4-way stretch. A trusty sidekick for client presentations and after-work happy hours alike. ($325, Ministry of Supply).

Minimalist Leather Sneakers
Whether it’s at a barbeque or a walk around town, a pair of minimalist leather sneakers will get you where you’re goin’ all while looking good doing it. Though there’s no shortage of low-top leather sneaker makers out there, our pick goes to the Greats Royale in Cuio. The buttery-smooth Italian leather and OrthoLite padded insoles make ’em a great upgrade to replace that beat-up pair of Nikes. ($179, Greats).
Oxford Cloth Utility Shirt
A new favorite shirt might just be at the top of his list this year. Fortunately, you can’t go wrong with a rugged utility shirt from Batch. Slim, yet non-restricting cut, durable fabric, and two chest pockets make it a winner in our book. ($78, Batch)
True Wireless Earbuds
There’s no doubt that Apple AirPods top a large number of men’s gift lists this year. True wireless (read: no wires at all) headphones have been taking the audio market by storm and for good reason. Accessibility and ease of use pairs with some seriously cool tech like the charging cases found with most sets for extra music playtime. ($249, Amazon).

Do-It-All Techwear Pants

Pair that with water + stain resistance and you’ve got a serious contender for the coolest pants you’ll own. ($128, Western Rise).
Insulated Drinking Mug
Capable of keeping 14 oz of piping hot coffee, tea, cocoa, or cider, well, piping hot, the YETI Rambler mug’s double-wall vacuum insulation ain’t something to scoff at. Perfect for everyday use and a weekend camping trip with the boys. Keeps drinks cold just as well! ($25, Moosejaw).
Leather Key Organizer
There’s nothing quite as mood-shattering as pulling out your expensive phone and discovering its screen decided to mingle too closely with your keys. Store your keys stylishly and efficiently with an Orbitkey organizer. Screw 2-7 keys into its mechanism and fold them neatly in place. No jingle. No fuss. ($25+ for rubber, $40+ for leather, Amazon).
Leather Bracelet
For a guy looking to elevate his personal style, a stylish (yet inherently masculine) leather bracelet can be the perfect accessory. The Atlas Accessories Aeon bracelet boasts a recycled silver ingot held with handcut dark Havana English leather. Simple, yet ($249, Atlas Accessories).
Audible Gift Membership
In this digital age, it may seem as though we’ve lost touch with reading, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Wireless Productivity Mouse
What better item to pair a Bluetooth keyboard with than a streamlined wireless mouse? Logitech’s MX Master series has earned quite the reputation among digital creatives and spreadsheet pros alike. If its “infinity” scroll wheel, 4-way gesture controls, and ability to seamlessly function across computers doesn’t pull you in, its award-winning ergonomic design sure might. ($99, Logitech).
AllBirds Wool Runner Eco-Friendly Sneaker
Few inventions may grab our interest nowadays, but a sneaker made from New Zealand merino wool? That’s surely an interesting concept. Aside from being machine washable, temperature-regulation, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant, merino wool is outright soft and comfortable. An added bonus? It’s almost carbon-neutral, so you’ll be supporting an environmentally conscious brand. ($95, Allbirds).
HD Video Doorbell
Keep an eye out for suspicious activity while keeping your doorstep safe and secure. The Ring Video Doorbell records video whenever its sensors track movement.

A removable battery makes installation a breeze as there’s no need to solder any wires. ($129, Amazon).
Better-Than-Down Bomber Jacket
When it comes to combining the best of form and function, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better men’s gift than a quality jacket. Boasting the insulation of traditional Goose Down with a more eco-friendly footprint, Public Rec’s bomber jacket makes for a stylish, yet effective piece of outerwear. Water-resistant 3M Thinsulate insulation, 4-way stretch, and tons of pockets may just be enough to replace that old favorite coat. ($188, Public Rec).
Wireless Quick Charge Phone Dock
To top off our list of the best gift ideas for men is a techy offering from Native Union. You’d think that our $1000 phones deserve a bit more than being plugged in and tossed on a nightstand.

($80, Native Union).
