Get the guy in your life what he needs and wants most—besides you, of course. These gift ideas for your boyfriend, brother or dad are perfect for any guy on your list.
Whether it’s an anniversary, Valentine’s Day, birthday or Christmas, boyfriends and dads are notoriously the hardest to shop for. But this year, I found so many good men’s gifts that I had more of a hard time narrowing down what to choose!
These gifts will work for any guy in your life. (I’ve gotten some of these for my boyfriend, Alex—including the Herschel duffle and matching backpack—and he LOVES them. So that’s a good sign.)
Happy gifting! Stay tuned for my home and fashion and beauty gift guides this week!
1. Long-sleeve henley | 2. Shinola notebook | 3. Sushi bazooka | 4. Ovalware Airtight Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker | 5. Herschel Novel Duffle | 6. AirPods | 7. Vinyl Me, Please Gift membership | 8. Air fryer | 9. Allbirds sneakers | 10. Lululemon ABC Pant
I picked up a couple of these for Alex this season and he LOVES them. They’re such good basics that can be dressed up with a leather jacket and Chelsea boots or down with a denim jacket and sneaks. I picked up the ivory and ~*safari fatigue*~ for him, but they come in a bunch of colors.
Forget the Post-Its. This great gift for dad will keep his notes organized with the Shinola soft-cover linen journal, which even comes with free monogramming. Made in the U.S.
This sushi bazooka is only $13 and makes restaurant-worthy DIY rolls at home. Pair it with a bottle of wine or saki and get your next sushi date on the books.
4. Ovalware Airtight Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker
The weather outside might be frightful, but if you’re a die-hard cold brew drinker, this brewing glass carafe is definitely delightful. The airtight seal keeps your cold brew fresh for up to 2 weeks and the glass is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
I gave this to Alex for his birthday this summer and he’s already used it more times than I can count. It’s the perfect-size weekender for a guy and has a separate shoe compartment to keep clothes clean.
If the man in your life always has a project up his sleeve, give him the gift of hands-free listening, whether it’s his new podcast obsession or favorite playlist. (These are also on my list, just sayin’.)
7. Vinyl Me, Please Gift membership
For the music maven, this unique subscription service sends the lucky recipient a new record every month (plus 1 or 2 bonus records). They’ll get to choose from 3 categories: Essentials, Classics, and Rap & Hip Hop.
Eat your heart out with guilt-free fried foods. Fry, bake, steam, sauté, grill, or roast anything from French fries to steak with the power of super heated air instead of oil—for 80% less calories.
Billed as “the world’s most comfortable shoes,” Allbirds sneaks are made naturally and designed to be practical – without all the cheap, synthetic stuff. Plus, they have a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don’t feel like you’re “walking on cloud nine.”
Basically the equivalent of the women’s Align Pant that everyone’s obsessed with (I’m wearing them as I’m writing this, tbh), Lulu’s “anti-ball crushing” pant is the perfect non-restricting lounge essential that’s cute enough to wear out of the house.
Bonus gift idea!
Who would have guessed the mall grocery store would be the location of your next night out?If your BF prefers experiences (and food) over things, sign yourselves up for a cooking class. Head to your local Whole Foods or Sur la Table and sign up for demonstration, hands-on cooking, or wine and cheese classes. You’ll learn about the art of cooking—and get to enjoy some delicious food together, too.
