Line of Trade Slim Wallet
for the man who needs to slim down
PROS
- Stylish leather wallet with compact & useful design
- Space for up to 15 cards for exceptional utility
CONS
- Some guys might prefer a more traditional billfold
- May prefer an even more sleek money clip instead of a slim wallet
Does the guy in your life have his wallet down to a science? Does he obsess over his everyday carry? Or could he perhaps use a more streamlined wallet with so much, well, stuff in it? While it might be a hard habit to break, Line of Trade does its parts to help stylish guys everywhere, putting this handsome, effective leather wallet out into the universe in the process. In fact, this wallet is deceptive in terms of its design – it features space for up to 15 cards, so he never misses a beat on the go.
YETI Rambler Colster Beer Can Insulator
For the beer guy
PROS
- Keeps his beer nice and cold for ours
- Finally dishwasher safe
- The colster doesn't sweat, keeping hands dry
CONS
- Doesn't float, so hold onto it in the pool or lake
If he loves his beers and wants to keep them nice and cold the entire time he’s sipping, your father will fall in love with this can insulator from our favorite brand, YETI. Unlike some other brands, you can actually toss this one right in the dishwasher after use.
I own this one in their maroon version from a few years ago and have personally gifted the navy blue one and the one in seafoam green. They’ll keep his beverages cold for a hours, not that he’ll be sipping his beer for that long, is scratch resistant, and is designed to not sweat – keeping your hands nice and dry. While the 12 ounce size fits most standard cans, I’ve also been able to put a beer bottle inside too – it jiggles a little, but still does the trick.
Jack Black Beard Care
for the beardy dude
PROS
- Works amazing if you have dry skin
- Helps to get rid of beard flakes
- Helps relieves itchy skin and "beard itch"
- A little goes a long way
CONS
- A bit expensive compared to Amish Beard Oil
- Only 1 fl oz
For me, my beard and my skin is almost always dry, especially in the winter. If he’s not moisturizing and exfoliating his face on the regular, this beard oil will come in handy because it’s focused on your dry skin overall.
It’ll help to soften his overall whiskers and thanks to the vitamin E, melon and plum oils working together it’ll help keep those pesky dry skin beard flakes at bay. While the brand recommends using 2-3 drops per session, I found that since I don’t have a huge beard, I really only needed 1-2 drops. A little goes a long way with this one and the perfect gift for him that’s currently way under $50!
PROS
- Holds up to 50 cigars
- 9 different wood finishes to choose from
- Glass top so you can see what's inside
CONS
- Some say the hydrometer isn't always accurate
If the man you’re buying for loves his cigars, you can’t go wrong with this best selling humidor. For me the price was really attractive since me and my friends are only social cigar smokers and not aficionados. I didn’t really need a humidor that stored 100+ cigars, so this desktop option that stores between 25 – 50 worked best for me and it will work for most occasional cigar smokers.
Outside of the price I liked the feel of the outside of the humidor that was a clean and cool cherry finish. When opening up the humidor I got a nice whiff of Spanish cedar, which is always a favorite of mine.
J. Crew “484” Slim Fit Jeans
best for the casual guy
PROS
- Perfect fit; definitely not skinny jeans
- Length works well if you want to cuff
- Seven colors/shades to choose from
- Decent stretch to them
CONS
- Super dark denim may initially stain some things
- Doesn't come in a 31" length
If he’s due for a a denim upgrade, check out these beauts from J.Crew. Year after year these 484-fits from J. Crew are my absolute favorite. They fit perfectly and aren’t too slim or too relaxed. There are a bunch of different washes you can choose from, but you can’t go wrong with their classic Resin Rinse.
I love how soft they actually feel compared to some other jeans I own (even the real expensive ones that come in at over $250 – yikes!) I feel like the dark selvedge are a bit stiffer than J. Crew’s lighter washed jeans, which isn’t the worst – just a heads up. I prefer wearing darker anyway when I have to feel a little more dressed up.
Editor’s Tip: Due to the dark color, make sure you wash these with darker colors for the first few washes to make sure it doesn’t bleed onto anything light. My real tip? I’m not known for washing my jeans regularly (I know, I’m gross) – but it keeps them looking great.
Manscaped The Lawnmower 5.0 Ultra
for the hairy dude
PROS
- Trusted flagship product from a specialty brand
- Multiple setting options to try
- Extra blade options for maximum effectiveness
- Charges up and operates easily in a sleek design
CONS
- Can run on the pricier side for a trimmer
Looking for a place to start your grooming journey down there? You’d be hard-pressed to find a company more focused on better grooming for guys than Manscaped, as the name would imply.
This tool gets things started in smooth, finely crafted fashion, with a sleek build and easy-to-use operation, which certainly drew me to Manscaped in the first place. It comes with two adjustable comb settings and one fixed-blade comb setting for trimming, shaping and shaving, and the process couldn’t be more efficient.
Kiehl's Facial Fuel For Men
for the skincare obsessed bro
PROS
- Totally "wakes up" your face
- Scrubs without harming/too rough
- Great to use before a shave to prepare your skin
- Caffeine helps reduce skin dullness
- Smells like a guys face wash (nothing floral)
CONS
- Expensive, depending on your budget
- If I use it too often (daily) it dries my skin
If he’s looking for the perfect facial cleanser to wake him the heck up in the morning, this is it. I’ve been personally using Kiehl’s Facial Fuel since 2010. It contains key ingredients to help revitalize your face like caffeine, menthol, and vitamin E.
To me it’s like a guys-guy scent that’s masculine without being overpowering and smells like your barber shop with you’re getting a professional shave. It helps to make all my facial hairs stand at attention, giving me a quicker and pain-free shave.
Saxx Droptemp Cooling Briefs
For the guy who's always hot
PROS
- Moisture-wicking kept us cool
- Hugged our butt tight to slightly lift
- Material is so soft and comfy
- Ball pouch kept our boys in place
CONS
- Runs slightly smaller than other brands
Saxx may be the underwear brand you haven’t heard of, but one that you need to know about. Famous for their “ball pouch” these odor-controlled, temp dropping, moisture-wicking briefs feel oh-so buttery soft, keeps your boys in place, and sits nicely at your waist without squeezing too tight, which kind of keeps your ever-growing muffin top in place without spilling over (in most cases).
If he’s a hot sleeper or just a big sweater during the day, these will probably be his bet.
Ooni Karu Outdoor Pizza Oven
for the pizza loving man
PROS
- Competitively priced
- Makes pizza in just 60 seconds!
- Option to use wood, charcoal or gas
CONS
- Need to bring it in during certain weather
Ooni features several different models, from wood and charcoal fueled to gas fueled – even a combination of both, which is the model above. And the best part about gifting him an outdoor pizza oven? He’ll probably invite you over for a slice.
This model is at the lowest price I’ve seen in a while and compared to other outdoor pizza makers, this is a really great price overall.
The Ooni will make a delicious 12-inch pizza in just 60 seconds and heats up to over 850-degrees in less than 15 minutes.
Dolce&Gabbana "Light Blue" Summer Vibes Cologne
for the scent obsessed
PROS
- Smells like a summer vacation
- The coolest bottle I've seen in a while
CONS
- If he doesn't love light citrus based scents may not love this
I feel like you really can’t ever go wrong with gifting him an amazing fragrance, especially one that he can use in the warmer months (spring, summer, early fall).
This 2.5 ounce cologne spray truly is giving summer vibes with notes of earthy woods, citrus, and my personal favorite – Sicilian lemon.
I’m alway a fan of a light scent that isn’t overpowering and leaves you feeling fresh, light, and clean.
Victorinox Swiss Army Knife
for the little gadget guy
PROS
- Offers 19 different cool functions
- Easy to carry, fitting comfortably in a pocket or bag
- Made of high-quality steel that provides corrosion resistance
CONS
- At 4.48 ounces, it may be slightly heavy for him if he prefers a lighter tool
This gadget is a total classic winner! The Evolution Wood S557 is a Swiss-made pocket knife from Victorinox, known for its elegant wood scales and the Victorinox logo. It combines design with practicality, includes 19 impressive functions including a large blade, scissors, a screwdriver, and a bottle opener.
Overall the knife is compact with dimensions of 3.3 inches in length and 1.1 inches in height, weighing 4.48 ounces. The blade offers durability and resistance to corrosion, ideal for all kinds of cutting tasks that oddly come up during his day. The screwdriver caters to multiple needs, while the scissors provide strength for tough cuts. The stainless steel bottle opener is perfect for both professional bartenders and just everyday home use.
If he loves his Swiss Army knife when he was a little kid, he’ll like this modern update with a wooden twist.
Best Dad Ever Print
for the new dad
PROS
- Easy to upload your photo
- Can customize just about everything
- More than 10 frames to choose from
CONS
- Can start to get expensive depending on which options you choose
We have an entire gift guide dedicated to dads, but if the guy on your list is a dad (new or old) we highly recommend this thoughtful print.
This frame can be customized in several ways, from size and moulding to color themes and specialty options. You can’t go wrong with the perfect photo and memory from the folks at Minted. Personalize and upload both your photo and your message!
One-Dozen Golf Balls From Titleist
for the guy who golfs
PROS
- Come as a set of 12
- Soft feeling
- Pro golfer approved
CONS
- $70 is slightly pricey
Because most men can always use some extra golf balls. Not that they lose them in the woods or anything. Allegedly. These are the number one best selling golf balls on Amazon at this time, come as a set of 12, feel very soft (which he’ll appreciate), and come in different color options too (hello, yellow!).
If he obsesses over Adam Scott, Paul Casey, or Justin Thomas he’ll love that these amazing players are currently using these balls too. If it’s good enough for them…
Parachute Waffle Robe
for the man who loves the spa
PROS
- Lightweight and comfy
- Unisex
- 4 color options
- Machine washable
CONS
- Over $100 is a tad expensive
- Not to be used as a shower robe
It’s the robe of all robes, especially if he likes a spa-like look and feel. This top selling waffle robe from Parachute Home is lightweight, soft, features 2 hip pockets, a folded collar and a secure waist tie.
An ideal robe for staying warm around the house, or pretending he’s at a high end spa. Hey, it’s ok to dream. He can definitely file this one under things he never even knew he needed.
Coravin Pivot Wine Preservation System
best for the wino
PROS
- Keep open wine up to 4-weeks
- Great for aeration
- Comes with a 1-year warranty
CONS
- New wine drinkers may find it hard to use at first
Game changer! If he’s into sampling wines, blind tastings, holding tasting parties, or just aren’t planning to finish the entire bottle tonight, this will save his absolute favorite wines – whether pricey or not.
You can pour and enjoy without removing the cork, allowing you to preserve still wines for weeks, months, and even years. Other models available as well.
YETI Hopper Backpack Cooler
for the party dude on the go
PROS
- Hold up to 36 cans
- Can fit a wine bottle
- Big Wave blue color is a beauty
CONS
- Definitely an expensive gift, but worth it
In one of YETI’s new colors that we’re obsessed with, this soft cooler holds up to 36 cans with a 2:1 ice-to-can ratio. It’s easy to carry and keeps all his most important things (like his beers) nice and cold.
And we love anything hands free. Chances are high you’re transporting more than just your beverages, and this definitely makes life easier. Sometimes you can save a little extra if you have a YETI coupon, but other than that you’re good to go.
Todd Snyder x New Era Nubby Camel Cap
for the baseball cap fan
PROS
- Comes in a variety of sizes
- Perfect for fall
- Unique design in a goes-with-everything neutral
CONS
- Limited teams available
- Might be tough to nail down the correct size
- Sells out quickly
One of our editors here purchased this one (as a Red Sox fan), and loves it. It adds a chill vibe with a clean and simple aesthetic. This epic new drop from the highly sought-after TS and New Era collab blends sharp fabrics with sporty flair. It’s flawlessly crafted, featuring an official team logo, chain-stitched in white.
It also features New Era’s 59Fifty fitted style, an embroidered MLB logo on the back, an embroidered tonal New Era logo on the side, an olive sweatband and camo interior tape.
Rustic Town Leather Travel Toiletry Bag
for the travelin' man
PROS
- Timeless, classic style
- Durable build is made to last
- Spacious for ultimate organization
CONS
- Weight: Might add a little bit of heft to your luggage
- Could need a little TLC to keep it looking its best
They can finally store their toiletries in something other than a zip lock bag (not that there’s anything wrong with that). This Dopp kit is a travel MVP with dual compartments to keep all their toiletries organized on the go. Designed for both, max storage and easy handling, it measures L-10 x W-5 x H-6 inches.
Available in a variety of shades, it’s crafted from full grain leather that rocks a vintage and retro vibe, while being roomy enough (with 2 separate compartments and extra zippered pockets) to stash plenty of items, like deodorant, shaving cream, razor, cologne and more. But fear not, the inside lining is waterproof, so they can stress less when it comes to inevitable spills and leaks while traveling. A little added bonus – especially if giving this one as a gift – is the dust bag for a little pizzazz and protection.
