118 Best Gifts for Husbands (or Long-Term Partners) in 2024



Tracking down the best gifts for husbands can be an annual source of dread. After all, the sacred vow of marriage comes with lots of responsibility: Supporting him through all the highs and lows, accepting his family as your own, and thinking of awesome gift ideas every year—’til death do you part—is just part of the deal.

In the early days of dating it was a little easier—he likes beer? Boom, cute bottle opener. He mentioned he’s never seen Wicked? Layup, two orchestra tickets. But as the years pass, a sense of panic begins to creep in—what do you give the man who already has everything?

Deep breaths. First, expand your definitions of what a gift can be. At its core, a gift is just a way to show him that you see him. Is there a new interest he’s been slow to start exploring? Give him the push. Is he wearing a pair of shoes into the ground? Solve that for him. Always spending on others but not himself? Splurge a little on his behalf. Here’s a no-fail guide to spare you some indecision fatigue this holiday season.

The Best Gifts for Husbands, at a Glance

Knowing what to get the person you know best? Tougher than it looks! Here’s a short-list of some of our favorite picks this year for your very discerning hubby:

Looking for Something Specific?


Fitness & Outdoor Gifts

Asics

Gel-Nimbus 25 Running Shoe

If he’s been talking about joining a run club (for fitness purposes, of course…), get a pair of these on his feet ASAP. The Gel-Nimbus are one of ASICS’ most beloved trainers and this current edition is perhaps the best yet with a soft knit upper that nestles the foot atop a plushy cushion that’s built for pavement-pounding.

Stanley

Classic Easy-Pour Growler

Whether he’s big on the great outdoors, or more of the “BBQ’ing on the porch” type, there’s nothing better than an ice-cold growler filled with his favorite booze. This one’s made from dishwasher-safe stainless steel and a spill-proof lid to keep the good times rolling (but not leaking out all over his stuff).

Oura

Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon

If he’s into tracking his health stats but wants something stealthier than a Fitbit, the Oura packs arguably more tracking technology (we’re talking 20 different kinds of biometrics) into one minimalistic ring. It connects with 40 different health apps like Apple Health or Strava, plus is HSA/FSA-eligible if you’ve got some funds to use up before the year is through.

Topo Designs

33L Mountain Utility Tote

Who doesn’t love a Big ‘ol Bag? This roomy, mountain climbing-inspired joint is made from tough recycled nylon, includes a waterproof lining and zip top to keep his stuff dry, all while looking cool and colorblocked as hell.

Patagonia

Isthmus Anorak Pullover

How do you transform recycled nylon fishing nets into into one sick anorak? No idea—we leave that up to the pros at Patagonia, who have streamlined a packable, fast drying, 40+ UPF sun protection number that gets our seal of approval.

Tracksmith

Nor’Easter Jacket

Unlike typical tracksuits and joggers, Tracksmith’s svelte running gear is downright sexy, like this jacket with a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette that’s also warm enough to insulate him from the ghastly wind chill.

Hyperice

Hyperice Venom 2 Back Wrap

Give his achey back a rest with this high-tech wrap that uses targeted heat and vibrating massage to sooth away soreness and loosen tension. In a word: ahhhhh.

Bowflex

SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells

Does he want to make big gains in a small space? These adjustable dumbbells can condense a whole weight rack into one compact footprint.

Maksone

Under Desk Treadmill

The science tells us again and again that simply walking every day can have big impacts on our overall long term health. This streamlined under-desk treadmill is one way to help him get more steps in from home, whether he’s doing it while firing emails off into the void or while listening to a podcast.

Merrell

Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Help him ascend to new heights (literally) with these excellent hiking shoes that combine a waterproof, pigskin upper and some Vibram rubber underfoot for a trekker that’s comfy but not too clunky.

Watchitude

10′ LED Light-Up Pickleball Net Set

Pickleball doesn’t have to be just a summer sport. With this light-up set that includes a glowing net, paddles, and balls, he can keep dinking even as the days get darker.

Kammok

Ursa Minor Sleep System

Sweet dreams under the stars are a certainty with this innovative design that combines a self-inflating mattress base with a memory foam topper and sleeping bag. It’s camping with a hint of glamping, because who said spending time in the great outdoors had to be uncomfy, anyways?

Manduka

eKO Superlite Yoga Mat

With this ultra lightweight, foldable mat (made from nice, natural rubber), his yoga practice can roll up in his roll-aboard.

KASK

Silver Treasure Visor Snow Helmet

One of the only innovations to the ski/snowboard helmet in recent memory, Kask has cut the annoyance out of the typical elastic goggles strap and fused them into a single streamlined helmet design that looks cool as hell.

Big Rock Candy Mountaineering

Alpine Jacket

This indie outfitter designed their signature puffer based on the eternally swaggy style of 70’s mountain climbers, while updating it for the more modern trek from rental car to Airbnb.

Patagonia

Base Camp Duffel Bag

This high-performance duffle bag is made from nearly all recycled materials, can be handheld or go backpack mode, and packs down into a tiny storage bag when not in use, making it versatile enough for whatever adventure (camping trip or epic sales conference) he has coming up next.

Solgaard

Carry-On Closet Original

Does he hate getting organized no matter how many packing cubes you throw at him? This carry-on brings something new to the table that just might change his travel life with the addition of a “closet” system that hangs for easy organizing (no more night-before-the-trip piles on the floor), and uses a compression strap to shrink down when it’s time to pack up.

Snow Peak

Takibi Fire and Grill

Is there anything hotter than seeing your man start a fire and cook something over it? Well, with this award-winning, brilliantly packable portable fireplace he’ll be able to make it happen anywhere from a remote campsite to your little back patio.

Grooming Gifts

Salt & Stone

Bergamot and Hinoki Full-Size Body Care Set

If the shower is his happy place, then dial it up with some onsen vibes courtesy of this limited-edition Salt & Stone set that goes HAM on hinoki and bergamot. There’s a small suite of body-care products, from a full-size eau de parfum to a shower gel.

Dermalogica

Daily Milkfoliant

Listen, you cannot guilt-trip a man into exfoliating regularly. He needs to feel the power of exfoliation for himself. Luckily, Dermalogica has crafted a soothingly oat-based “milkfoliant” that works great and looks impressive in the medicine cabinet.

Panasonic

Multishape Ultimate All-In-One Kit

If you’re someone who’s had it with contraptions all over the place in your bathroom, start here. This all-in-one kit allows him to do everything from shape his beard to brush his teeth.

Dermaflash

DERMAPORE+ Pore Extractor and Serum Infuser

You could drag him to a facial, or help him declog those pores at home. This powerful new device uses ultrasonic waves and ionic technology (futuristic!) to extract dirt and oil, then switches to “infuse” mode to start working a serum into those fine lines.

Aesop

Moroccan Neroli Shaving Duet

May his mug be ever moisturized and his post-shave skin ever soothed thanks to this two-in-one shaving set.

F. Hammann

F. Hammann for Todd Snyder Grooming Kit

There’s no greater satisfaction than a practical, everyday item made absurdly well. Upgrade his grooming kit for life with this handsome version from a five-generation family leather goods maker.

D.S. & Durga

Debaser Buffing Bar Duo

These soaps (a collab with Instagram-beloved bodycare brand Soft Services) might just be the perfect stocking stuffer with their sexy packaging, a headbanger of a scent, and actual skin-smoothing benefits thanks to microcrystal exfoliants.

Matador

Flatpak Waterproof Toiletry Case

Made from hardcore waterproof fabric, this toiletry bag was built for the road. It’ll keep his toiletries dry from the elements, while keeping the rest of his stuff dry from a leaking bottle of hotel body wash that he stashed and forgot about.

Shark

SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer System

Invest in those lovely locks of his with a pro-level hair dryer that has attachments for every hair texture, and a folding body for easy travel.

GQ

Annual GQ Recommends Box

Not to toot our own horn, but the whole GQ team is out searching for the best stuff out there all day, every day, and the GQ Box is the culmination of that passionate (obsessive) research. Gift your guy a subscription and every month he’ll get a super curated selection of our favorite items across grooming, accessories, apparel, and beyond. Think of it as a bunch of gifts within a gift!

Chanel

Bleu De Chanel Cologne

Blending both clean citrus notes with more moody, woodsy, spicy ones, Bleu de Chanel is a movie star fragrance that both of you will enjoy.

Maison Margiela

Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette Fragrance

You can’t be cuddling by the fireplace all the time, but, he could smell that romantic anytime. From Margiela’s fan favorite “Replica” line comes this unisex perfume that blends notes of burning wood and chestnut, with spicy pink pepper and subtle vanilla.

Home & Kitchen Gifts

Boll & Branch

Signature Hemmed Sheet Set

One of the best sheets on Amazon, period, could pass as hotel-quality if you make the bed extra snug like room service would. Unlike a lot of sketchy-looking brands on Amazon, Boll & Branch also checks off all the boxes needed to prove that their materials are organic and practices are fair trade.

Beast Health

Mini Blender

If “rise and grind” to him means pulvering fruits and veggies into a morning smoothie, but you don’t have the counterspace for a big hulking Vitamix, start small. This compact blender cup cleverly serves as the drinking vessel itself with a straw cap system that screws right on and gets him out the door.

All-Clad

Pro-Release Nonstick 10-Piece Bakeware Set

For the casual baker who wants to get serious, a decked-out set of nonstick bakeware from All-Clad will help him produce many permutations of loafs and tarts (as you treat yourself to the spoils).

LEGO

McLaren P1 Set

At nearly 4,000 pieces, this build is wildly complex, challenging, and a whole lot of fun. Is it a lot of money for a LEGO set? Sure. But remember, the cost of a real McLaren P1 is over $1,000,000, so in that sense, you’ll be scratching that mid-life crisis itch for a lot less dinero.

Breville

Bambino Plus Espresso Maker

The entry-level, dummyproof espresso maker that will make even the biggest coffee novices feel like budding baristas. It’s got the automated programming, sleek design, and small footprint to make it a solid investment for any husband who’s upgrading from pods to pulling shots.

Baloo

Weighted Comforter

Finally, a weighted blanket that no one will be inclined to hog. This dreamy design is comforter-sized to fit the entire bed, yet weighted in the center so both of you can sleep like a baby wrapped in a gentle hug. Awww!

Rill Simple Tools

Shucks Oyster Knife

Not only does this knife look like a future heirloom, but the rounded handle also easily rotates in your palm as you shuck to prevent discomfort, a small detail the oyster enthusiast in your life will really appreciate.

Victoria

10-Inch Skillet

If he’s ready to take his cast-iron game to the next level, get him this award-winning skillet that improves on the classics with some clever details like a handle that stays cooler, side pour spouts, and a signature “soft” texture that’s easier to work with than your traditional cast iron.

Breville

Smoking Gun

Meats? Veggies? Cocktails? He can smoke ‘em all.

Gozney

Dome Outdoor Oven

Gozney’s pro-grade woodfired oven can do everything from cooking pizza to searing steak to smoking pork. Plus, it looks like it was designed by a world-class architect. Consider it the future crown jewel of his backyard setup.

Rocco

The Super Smart Fridge

Whether he’s got a proper man-cave, garage, or closet-turned-office, an insanely cool smart mini fridge will be the new apple of his eye. Using the same tech that powers Sub-Zero fridges, this little guy will chill whatever his bev of choice is with its customizable, modular shelving system. Plus, it comes with 96 cans of La Croix which pretty much justifies the cost.

Flamingo Estate

Personalized Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Harvested from a fourth-generation family olive farm in Ojai, California, Flamingo Estate’s lovely olive oil is versatile enough to be used for everything from dipping to cooking, and can be personalized with a handwritten note right on the label.

Porter Road

Butcher’s Choice Box

The king of the BBQ will have a bounty of protein at his disposal with this thoughtfully selected butcher’s box that will supply him with prime, seasonal cuts solely from farms that pasture-raise their animals exclusively.

KitchenAid

Design Series Evergreen Stand Mixer

It’s been dunked on plenty since it came out, but we know there’s a midcentury-loving, woodshop-working guy who would earnestly be stoked to get the new walnut bowl-equipped KitchenAid for his next baking bonanza.

Ezcaray

Picasso Throw

A gift to share is really a gift for you, too. Not only do Ezcaray’s wool and mohair throws look like artful tapestries on the couch, but they’re also incredibly warm so you can cozy up and sprawl out.

Schoolhouse x Pendleton®

Canebrake Wool Blanket

The fellas have been snuggling under Pendleton’s famous wool blankets for centuries, but if the brand’s signature Americana designs aren’t quite your aesthetic, you’ll be glad to hear the good folks at Schoolhouse have given them a new look with this fresh collection of plaids that will look good in even the most modern home.

Saturn Glassware

Martini Set of 4

Holiday hosting means whipping up fun drinks for everyone, so lean into that energy with these playfully multicolored, funky martini glasses that you can still load up in the dishwasher after the festivities die down.

Bokksu

Annual Snack Box Subscription

If he loves Japanese cuisine but isn’t going to be able to take a 14 hour flight there any time soon, then make his year by bringing Japan to him. Every month he’ll get to unbox 20-plus different Japan-exclusive goodies including snacks, candy, and teas—each one part of a new monthly theme and sourced from a family-run business.

Ninja

Creami Ice Cream Maker

It’s the dead of winter, yes, but frozen treats still go down easy, and we’ve yet to find an ice cream maker as efficient at whipping up creamy treats as this one.

Atlas Coffee Club

Annual Subscription

Quick survey: Does he love coffee? How about travel? Then this coffee of the month club will be a guaranteed hit. Each month he’ll get to try a bag of single origin beans from somewhere new around the world, giving him the chance to travel with his tastebuds—no passport necessary.

Aarke

Electric Drip Coffee Brewer

Somewhere in the future in a beautiful designed spaceship, they’re making coffee like this. Majorly upgrade his setup with this stainless-steel setup that automatically brews the perfect cup of coffee in under six minutes and can keep it at the perfect temp all day without harshing the flavor.

Style Gifts

Seiko

Automatic Watch for Men

For the self-identified Watch Guy, this beloved Seiko model pairs a classic stainless steel body with a blue dial that’s almost as handsome as he is.

Jacques Solovière

Mark Zip Boot

We didn’t know it was possible to make a perfect boot, but by god, Jacques Solovière has done it. Crafted from calf leather in a truly evergeen silhoettte, he’ll be rocking these today and years from now in the photos with the grandkids, too.

Todd Snyder

Wool Silk-Knit Polo

Todd Snyder, the king of easy menswear, has done it again with this polo-rugby hybrid that comes luxed-up in a tweedlike wool and silk blend fabric. Whether he’s got on Armani slacks, or a pair of classic 501s, he won’t want to take this off.

Toga Virilis

SSENSE Exclusive Brown Loafers

The man with Western leanings needs some hirsute leather to go with the look. Help him pony up with these exceptionally handsome loafers embellished with mystical-cowboy hardware.

Abercrombie & Fitch

7-Pack Essential Tees

Time to overhaul his drawer of hole-y undershirts and tees? Abercrombie has had this category covered for years, and now they’ve lined up the ideal starter pack. One tee for every day of the week, in a relaxed fit and a soothingly muted color palette, and all for $100.

Tanner Goods

Utility Bifold

If he’s had his current wallet for as long as you two have been together, then maybe it’s time for an upgrade (to his wallet, not him).

Alex Mill

Frontier Jacket in Recycled Canvas

This jacket has big-time dad energy, and we do mean that as a compliment, naturally.

Filson

Tin Cloth Compact Briefacase

Filson makes some of our favorite briefcases of all, and this one’s slightly smaller than most so it won’t take up too much space in a crowded subway car.

Percival

Waterproof Auxiliary Sherlock Coat

Percival has been making this modern spin on the trenchcoat for over 10 years, and it hasn’t gone out of style one bit. With its water-resistant upper and sleek silhouette, it’ll keep him dry from for the next decade to come.

Marni

Navy Striped Scarf

Beloved for their kooky-cozy designs, this whipstitched cashmere-wool blend scarf is a very wearable entry point to the Marni-verse.

Gucci

Bee Web Silk Tie

Add a little sprezzatura to his office rotation with Gucci’s signature bee motif in 100% silk.

Reigning Champ

Terry Relaxed Sweatpants

These cozy-yet-functional sweatpants made from a cotton French terry are the ideal comfy, not schlubby silhouette. According to our editors, they’re burly and tough on the outside, soft on the inside—just like your man.

Todd Snyder

Medallion Neckerchief

If he’s not feeling like knotting up a full tie these days, grab him this jaunty lil’ bandana to throw on and elevate his existing looks.

47 Brand X J.Crew

Clean Up Cap

Baseball caps may be synonymous with the sweaty summer months, but this update in legendary Harris Tweed fabrics will give a cozily fuzzy option to wear deep into the winter months.

J.Crew

Kenmare Relaxed-Fit Suit Jacket

With a relaxed, double-breasted cut in a classic tweed wool, here’s the fall suit to rule them all. He can layer the jacket over faded jeans for casual Friday, or pair it with the matching trousers for the swankiest date night of the season.

Nike

Everyday Plus Cushioned Training Ankle Socks

Give his precious feet the support and cushion they need with these socks from the swoosh, which give a little extra padding around the heel, forefoot, and arch.

Jaxxon

JX1 Chronograph Watch

It’s no AP, but Jaxxon’s take on a very famous octagonal watch means we can keep our 401k untouched while getting some sweet wristcandy.

Saturdays NYC

Bowery Signature Crew

Does he need a new look to wear around the house or airport terminal? Grab this sweatshirt and matching sweatpants for a full set that feels good (heavyweight cotton with cozy “loopback” terry on the inside) and will also make him look Kardashian-rich with its relaxed cut and earthy-neutral color palette.

Salomon

Off-White X-Alp Leather Sneakers

Promise us that you won’t let him wear those cooked Air Force 1s into the soggy months ahead, okay? Instead, grab him these Salomons that blend a tasteful off-white color palette with technical details like an extra grippy outsole, cushioned insole, and bonded seams to keep out the cold and wet all winter long.

Le Mont St Michel

French Moleskin Work Jacket

Made in France for over a century, this is the jacket that basically invented the chore coat genre. It’s got the perfect, slightly boxy silhouette, water-repellant moleskin fabric in a bunch of great colors, and a hand-numbered label connecting him to fellow workers throughout history—even if his chores are mainly email-based.

Article One

Article One x Mission Workshop Sunglasses

These badass sunglasses take the ’70s, handsome-on-anyone, “navigator” shape, and upgrade it with high-end materials for flexibly durable body and lenses ready to block UVA/UVB rays and road glare. Plus, his style icon Ryan Gosling rocked them, in case he wasn’t already convinced.

Séfr

Brushed Alpaca-Blend Beanie

You know he’s going to be throwing on a beanie every day this winter, so why not make it one that you love to look at? We’re really into this fuzzy number that flips what you expect a beanie to be made of with its brushed alpaca-blend material.

Gucci

GG Marmont Leather Bi-Fold Wallet

They say money is a mindset, so get him in the mindset of a sexy Italian jetsetter with this ultra-classy bi-fold that’s made from all black calfskin leather with the iconic double G insignia.

Skims

Men’s Boxer Brief 5-Pack

Perhaps you are intimately involved with his dirty laundry and know that it’s time for a spruce up. This five-piece set will do the job nicely, hugging the bod just enough without feeling clingy.

Halfday

The Garment Duffel 45L

We shed a tear every time a man stuffs a beautiful suit into a cramped carry-on. Enter this hybrid to save the day, which cleverly combines a built-in garment bag for suits, sweaters, or blazers, while still leaving plenty of room to pack all his other gear.

David Yurman

DY Helios Band Ring

Give him a little piece of forever to wear with this stunningly simple band inspired by the overlapping lines of the infinity symbol. Go for sterling silver for something more subtle, or wildly iced-out gold if that’s more your hubby’s style.

Miansai

Lennox Jasper Necklace

Expand his necklace game with this jasper and sterling silver number that’s quiet yet unique—just like him.

Mejuri

4mm Round Box Chain Bracelet

A chain bracelet will never not be swaggy, and we love the size and shape of this 4mm “box” style chain for something that feels both delicate and masculine.

Deadwood

Black Bruno Patch Leather Jacket

Even if he doesn’t have bad boy tendencies, he will still look like one in this sick leather jacket. It’s got an ultra-wearable straight fit with a distinctive paneled design made from deadstock lambskin (meaning no new animals were harmed in the making of this jacket).

Mr. P

Shearling-Lined Slippers

There are the kind of slippers your mom gifted you as a teenager, and then there are slippers like these. Luxe, functional adult slippers. Cut from smooth suede, they’ve got a slim, flattering shape with a rubber sole for quick trips outside. But the interiors are really where they shine, wrapping his tootsies in thick, luxurious shearling for extra warmth and cushion.

CDLP

Home Suit

We know he looks fine as hell in a tuxedo once a year, but what if he could look that good every night? Let us introduce you to the concept of a ‘home suit.’ Made from a slinky yet sustainable tencel lyocell, with the shiny collar and leg stripe you’d find on a tux, he legit could wear this to bed or (cheekily) out on the town.

Percival

Fungus Pals Sweatshirt

Our friends at Percival love a cheeky li’l collab and really let loose in their latest collection with the sweatshirt stalwarts at Champion. Embroidered over Champion’s best reverse weave premium fleece are a bevy of fun designs including this artful grouping of fungi. This is a surefire hit if he loves mushrooms (culinary, or uh, otherwise).

Tecovas

The Rugged Roper

We love that these badass boots fall somewhere between cowboy and a pair of Timbs. Tecova’s pitches the water-resistant, oil-resistant, slip-resistant qualities as “perfect for ranch work.” But they’d also be perfect for your corporate cowboy.

Levi’s

555 Relaxed Straight Jeans

If he yearns for the perfect pair of vintage jeans—relaxed, faded, swaggy–but doesn’t have the time to dive through the bins at Goodwill, we have the solution. The Levi’s 555 is a newer release from the historic brand that specifically pays tribute to the straight leg, relaxed fit bangers of its past. Our denim-obsessed editor called them “better than vintage”, and they cost less than a Benjamin.

Tech Gifts

Nebula

NEBULA by Anker Mars II Pro 500 ANSI Lumen Portable Projector

The biggest thing standing between him and that tricked-out home theater is a quality projector. This sci-fi looking model is up for the job, with a bright picture, powerful sound, and easy device pairing. We think the 1080P resolution works great for most audiences, but if he’s a true film snob you might want to spring for the 4K version instead.

DJI

Osmo Pocket 3

Whether he wants to launch a YouTube channel or just better document your travels, the Osmo Pocket 3 is the ultimate easy-to-use creator camera. It’s got a built-in gimbal for smoothly cinematic camera movements and can easily flip between a vertical and horizontal orientation when he wants the full panoramic effect.

Eight Sleep

Pod 4

For fussy sleepers, this temperature-regulating “pod” cover might just save your marriage. It slips over your mattress, giving each person the ability to cool or warm either side of the bed to the perfect Goldilocks temp, plus tracks your sleep metrics (so you’ll know exactly how many hours you’re getting in the REM cycle).

Pioneer DJ

DJ Rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller

For your hubby who’s added a new entry to his resume—DJ—do the right thing and make sure he’s got the right equipment to chop and screw like a professional. There are a ton of options and specs to consider, but we’ve saved you the Reddit deep dive and furnished this rec for you that’s a very solid beginner controller at a reasonable price.

Therabody

Theragun Sense

If he has a body in 2024, he probably could benefit from this massage gun which can be used on post-workout sore muscles or aches and pains from his desk job.

Fender

Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster HSS Pack

It’s never too late to make those garage band dreams a reality.

Meta

Quest 3 Breakthrough Mixed Reality

The new Meta Quest 3 is the ultimate trump card gift for any gamer on your list: the VR will be transportative in even the most familiar spaces, and its advanced comfort and passthrough features mean you can easily grab a quick bite without taking your headset.

Nintendo

Switch OLED Model White

The beloved Nintendo Switch now comes with a vivid 7″ OLED screen and enhanced audio for leveling up their next Mario Kart sesh.

REGA

Rega Planar 1 Turntable

This turntable earned a spot in our rankings of the best record players for its unbeatable ability to “play a record faithfully and with the most accurate sound,” all at a sub-$1,000 price point. Plus, it looks like a sleek, minimal art piece when it’s not spinning one of his favorite vinyls.

Brick

The Brick

Is he always complaining about how much time he’s wasting doomscrolling on his phone? The Brick is a stupidly-brilliant solution. Decide which apps are tools and which are distracations, then put them on lock. The key here is that the Brick is a physical object, so he can leave it across the room or even at home while on vacation so he’s not just tempted to bipass that screentime notification for the 16th time.

1Mii

ML300 2-in-1 Bluetooth 5.2 Transmitter Receiver

You know that feeling of trying to watch an airplane movie through the garbagio free airplane headphones? Yeah, we’re not doing that anymore. Snag this smart stocking stuffer that he can plug into the headphone jack and connect to his favorite Bluetooth headphones. Plus, you can link a second pair of headphones if you decide you want to cuddle up across the armrest and watch the same flick.

OHOM

Ui+ Mug and Warmer Set

If he’s an absent-minded coffee drinker—constantly having to microwave the cup of coffee he’s half finished, then you’re about to change the game. This mug looks like your standard, nice, big, ceramic design, but set it down on its base and it’ll warm the mug as long as he needs it to. Plus, the plate can also act as a wireless phone charger because we know he’s probably on low battery too.

Gifts Under $100

Intelligent Change

The Five Minute Journal

He doesn’t have to be a dedicated writer to enjoy the benefits of daily journaling. With this easy entry point, it just takes five minutes a day to inspire a sense of gratitude for all the stuff that’s going right in his life (i.e. you, as this gift helpfully reminds him).

Lululemon

ABC Warpstreme Pull-On Pant

“Anti-ball crushing” is a phrase no one should have to think about in relation to their husband, but we’re sure he’d come around to Lululemon’s wildly popular ABC line. Why not get him their latest in the collection, with a sharp, tapered leg and a super comfy fabric?

Yuval Noah Harari

“Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI”

Yuval Noah Harari, author of blockbuster convo-starter Sapiens is back with another wild thinker; this time investigating how information networks have shaped human life from the Stone Age to AI. If he loves learning from the past and debating the future, let him sink his teeth into this one.

The Criterion Channel

If he calls movies “films” then this is a no-brainer.

Here’s an easy-to-learn and endlessly replayable team party game for your next hangout with friends. You and him are, of course, on the same wavelength and will definitely dominate.

Barbour

Quilted Dog Coat

We’ve officially entered wax canvas jacket season, so it’s time to ensure that everyone in the house is suitably weatherproofed. Get this so your child (read, dog) can match dad’s Barbour jacket on those chilly morning walks.

Natterjack

Natterjack Irish Whiskey

Whiskey-savoring enthusiasts will appreciate this newcomer snatching up awards with its “Irish with an American accent” approach to melding the best distilling techniques from both sides of the pond. For a pour that’s bold, complex, and tasty, Natterjack is the oddly-shaped gift that needs to be under the tree this year.

Gallery Books

‘What I Ate in One Year,’ by Stanley Tucci

You love Stanley Tucci, he loves Stanley Tucci, we all love Stanley Tucci. So let him “get dinner” with everyone’s favorite foodie via this new memoir that gives an inside look into every meal Tucci had across a year, and all the witty, poignant, and deeply human observations that were served with them.

Abercrombie

Oversized Pattern Crew Sweater

An oversized cut that’s slightly cropped, a juicy shade of merlot, and a hand-drawn sketch of his biggest interests (wine and cheese, respectively)—this might be the perfect holiday sweater.

Gifts Under $150

Nike

Premier League Club Elite Soccer Ball

Is your soccer (sorry, “football”) fan so committed to his Premier League team that he’s waking up at random hours of the night to watch their matches? Gently encourage him to touch grass with this elite-level ball that’ll having him playing pickup just like his favorite footballer.

Uniqlo

Wide Chino Pants

If you’re trying to get him out of those skinny jeans and into wider pants with the rest of us, start with these affordable favorites from Uniqlo. They’ve got a subtly fashion-forward cut (thanks to longtime collaborative designer Christophe Lemaire) but are low-key enough as chinos to blend right in with the stuff he already owns.

Levain

Signature Cookie Assortment

New York City’s most beloved giant cookie can now be enjoyed anywhere in the country. You can choose between a 4-pack of their most famous flavors, all the way up to a dozen depending on how serious his sweet tooth is.

Stetson x Free Rein

Cowboy Coffee Kit

If he’s a fan of the Yellowstone extended-universe, he’ll love this linkup between actor Cole Hauser’s (actually very good) coffee brand, and Stetson, the iconic Western-wear outfitter.

Tilden

The Duo Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

Laying off the hard stuff doesn’t mean he has to be stuck drinking ginger ale. This pair of non-alcoholic cocktails come in swanky bottles and feature tart cherry, oak, bitter orange on one side, and a crisp cucumber, basil, and juniper berry on the other. Both use ingredients like ginger, cayenne, and Szechuan pepper to give it that “kick” that he might be missing from booze.

Walden

20-Minute Candle Clock Set
