16 Unique Holiday Gifts For The Men in Your Life 2021
Gifts For the food & beverage connoisseur
Let’s start with the gift that keeps on giving: the Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Maker! Sleek, compact, and easy to use, he’ll love being able to indulge his cold brew cravings without the daily cafe stop.
Is he more into grilling than coffee? Every grill master in your life needs a Grilled Personal Pizza Maker, which makes brick oven-quality pizza right on the grill—no need for a big, expensive pizza oven. This gift is truly a win for him and all his friends.
For the craft beer snob, look no further. Now, he can make his very own at home with this fun Beer Brewing Kit. Tip: Elevate the gift further with custom labels for the bottles.
Holiday Gifts For the Problem-solving Guy
For the guy that is a problem solving genius, he will love this Mechanical Safe puzzle. It’s both practical and quirky, plus a fun challenge for if he loves to build things. It’s a fun activity all ages will enjoy.
If a 3D puzzle is just too much of a time commitment, perhaps this Frank Llyod Wright double-sided puzzle is the way to go? Since the puzzle is double-sided, the fun doesn’t have to stop after you click the last piece into place.
This Victorinox Swiss Army knife is pretty much the universal symbol of handiness. Show me a toolbox or junk drawer without one! If your guy doesn’t own one, he needs this! And even if he does, how special would an upgraded or engraved Swiss Army knife be?
Gifts For the Guy who likes Fun Gadgets
The iPad has been around long enough that in my mind it’s no longer a novelty, but instead a staple. I’m recommending the iPad Pro 3rd Gen because some serious upgrades have come with this latest release, including the new M1 chip that makes this iPad a super-efficient computer perfect for work and unwinding on the go.
Another great gift for dads that love to take their gadgets on the go is this little Tivoli Audio Radio, a compact (and stylish!) way to access the radio wherever he goes.
If photography is more his thing, the Canon M50 is a powerful little camera that takes amazing photos and videos—and is actually quite intuitive to use. I personally own it and highly recommend it to any photo and video enthusiasts.
Holiday Gifts For the one that loves working out
If the man you are gifting to is a fitness aficionado, then he needs the Apple Watch 7, one of the best fitness trackers on the market. Not only does it track all your fitness stats and heart rate, but it also seamlessly connects with all of your devices, making it super easy to streamline your workouts.
If there’s any gift that makes a huge difference in everyday life, it’s AirPods. It’s amazing what a difference wireless headphones make to your mobility and productivity! I’m recommending the new AirPods Pro for its substantial improvements to sound tracking, noise canceling feature and ease of connectivity. Whether he working out or simply enjoying his favorite podcast, this gift will serve him well.
Another great gift for your a guy that enjoys working out a lot is a fresh pair of kicks. Elevate his workout gear with this versatile Dbreak-Type Sneaker from Nike. They are designed to seamlessly transition from the gym to the street. Practical and stylish anywhere!
Gifts For Man who’s staple accessories deserve an upgrade
Chances are the man you are shopping for has plenty of leather goods. It’s also very likely that they could use a refresh. Leather goods are always on the top of my list for holiday gifts for men. For example, why not upgrade his wallet to this beautiful and understated pick from Burberry?
If his wallet is covered, consider this belt by Hugo Boss. Stylish, understated, and versatile, he’s guaranteed to use it for years.
If he does not yet have a stylish and practical way to carry his grooming tools and products, consider getting him this great Dopp Kit from Salvatore Ferragamo. His bathroom sink will thank you.
holiday gifts for For the New Dad
I suggested something similar for new moms in this post, but I think new dads will appreciate a custom family portrait just as much. Etsy has tons of talented artists that create super cute family portraits (I like this artist). Consider this gift too if the new dad is going back to the office and needs a cute family portrait for his desk.
To kickstart your little one’s adventures with dad, gift him the versatile and ergonomic Infantino Carry-on carrier that will allow them to tag along on Dad’s trips and allow for plenty of bonding time.
If the new dad is more of a runner this BOB Gear Revolution Stroller is the perfect way to bring baby along for the ride. They get some fresh air, and bonding time.
Remember that while many of these gifts would make any man’s day, the most perfect holiday gifts for men are sincere appreciation and making memories.
