Guys are really hard to shop for, especially at Christmas time! So I’ve compiled over 70 Christmas gifts ideas for men that will help you get shopping done for your husbands, brothers, dads, and boyfriends.

70+ of the best Christmas gifts for men

Do you need some of the best Christmas gifts for men? We’ve all got a few men in our lives — boyfriends, husbands, brothers, and/or dads, and it’s hard to come up with good ideas for them for Christmas.

I asked you guys on Instagram and you delivered — you gave me the best Christmas gifts for men in your life!

So look no further; these are the best Christmas gifts for men.

APPAREL GIFT IDEAS FOR MEN

  • Patagonia jacket. 
  • Matching father/son ties. 
    • There are so many cute shops out there that make little boys ties and then matching dad ties. This would be super fun for my family with three boys — matching ties for all four of them! Our favorite handmade tie shop is Boon Ties, and you can get 15% off with code MERRICK15.
    • Even better, get it embroidered on the back with a special message or word.
  • Really nice socks. 
    • Stance and Bombas are both highly recommended brands and the quality is fantastic. I bought Philip these socks from Ralph Lauren last year and he said they’re his favorite dress socks he’s ever worn. They’re super affordable!
  • Ugg Slippers.
    • These slippers have amazing reviews and are such good quality. I bought them for my husband last year and they don’t make his feet too hot.
  • Ray Bans.
    • Give him a classy pair of sunglasses that never go out of style. This pair is flattering on all men.
  • Ties.
  • Leather satchel or laptop bag.
  • Fun dress socks.
  • Waterproof jacket.
  • Custom tailored suit. 
    • It typically costs about $100 to get a suit tailored but it makes a huge difference. A tailored suit can make a $100 suit look like a $500 suit – seriously! Look up local tailors on Google, or ask your dry cleaner for recommendations.
  • Cufflinks.
    • Any guy will look sharp and put together with a pair of cufflinks like these ones. You can also add a personal touch by personalizing these cufflinks with their initials.
  • Leather belt.
    • Every guy should have a nice brown and black leather back.
  • Dress shoes.
    • These derby shoes are perfect for church, work or date night. They come in both black and brown colors.

EXPERIENCE GIFT IDEAS FOR MEN

  • A couple’s staycation.
    • It’s a little harder to get away now with COVID, but it’s possible! Plan a little staycation at a local hotel or airbnb, leave the kids with friends, and just focus on each other.
  • A trip to the shooting range.
    • Every guy loves to shoot guns! So take him out on a date  – he’ll love it!
  • Woodshop class.
    • You can find ones at your local community college, or look online to see if someone in the area offers one. This would be a really fun class he could take to learn a new skill!

    • Have an avid snowboarder or skier in your life? Give him a snowboarding or ski pass to his favorite mountain or resort.
  • Spa day certificate.
    • Women are not the only ones who love a little pampering. Book him a massage and pedicure and get one happy, relaxed guy in return.
  • Year of pre-planned dates.
    • Give him the gift that keeps on giving all year long. Plan and pay for date nights for the following year so that all the logistics are taken care of and there is no excuse to not go on a date, even with COVID! My friend, Camille, has a whole blog post about this kind of gift.

    • Go to a local chocolatier and try as many of their chocolates as you can.

  6. K says:

    Any lower cost suggestioNs? These are great for Partners, brOthers, family but what about For coworkers, the postman, etc? Its so easy to default to baked goods buT thars so simple, Basically the adult equivalent of ‘teacher gifts’

  7. Debra Hewitt says:

    Thanks for the great ideas. Do you have a link where i can purchase the brown suede boots you are weraing in the picTure? Sorry for the all caps.

  8. Emeli says:

    And I gave my man a certificate to the best male beauty salon in the city. He had long wanted to change the image, get a new hairstyle but did not dare to do it. After my gift, he chose one of the trending hairstyles in the reviews of the site machohairstyles and get a haircut from the best barber. So I think these things can also be added to the list of gifts

  9. Patricia says:

    We live in a downsized Senior living condo (not a lot of storage space). I’m giving my husband 12 months of rib steak, sautéed mushrooms and twice baked potato (once a month) in front of the fireplace with his favorite music playing. It’s his favorite meal.
    Since he doesn’t read blogs, I’m pretty safe in sharing this.

  10. […] Gift ideas for men (brothers, husbands, dads, and boyfriends) […]

  11. […] out so fast! Also for those of you who were going crazy over the sex advent calendar I listed on my Men’s Gift Guide (and sold them out so fast), I found another one that’s really similar RIGHT […]

  12. The first time yesterday, about 30 minutes before dinner, I tried one drug for potency. Two hours after taking no obvious redness or nasal congestion (although a barely noticeable rush of warmth to my face was felt), I began to doubt again. But! Everything works beyond praise. A good, strong mood is enough for many high-quality rides per night. Thanks for the product, super! If you are interested, you can look at http://www.mediavethosp.com our website. Maybe to someone else, it will come in handy?

  13. These are all such great ideas! I got my husband air pods and new work shoes this Christmas!

    When people watch movies, they always pay attention to the mad male protagonist. And they do not always notice the heroes of men in their real life. Yes, you can read the article https://www.top10films.co.uk/62599-top-films-with-mad-male-protagonists/ and see different manifestations of the main heroes. But you need to remember that you need to surprise your main men, who are always next to you.

  15. Sylvia Nancy says:

    Hi, thanks a lot for sharing such a kind of article on unique gifts ideas for a boyfriend. My boyfriend liked the “Leather belt”. Once I was surprised him with this gift. He was really very amazed to get this gift. Your post helped me much in this regard. Thanks again.

  16. Erica Lancaster says:

    Why have I never thought to gift a car wash membership?! So smart. I surprised my husband with a hardwood floor refinishing earlier this year, so we both agreed to keep Christmas gifts to a minimum. I was at a total loss until I found your post. Happy holidays!
