Need gift ideas for the men in your life? I’ve got you. This list of gifts for men is packed with tried-and-true favorites—from things my husband Benson loves, to recs from friends, to go-to gifts PMTers swear by. Whether he’s into tech, working out, grilling, or is just hard to shop for, you’ll find some great products here that men actually love!
Gifts for Men They’ll Actually Love
Benson saw these on my stylish brother, and he really, REALLY likes them. He likes that the fabric is thicker with a heavier weight, which looks more polished and elevated. (I agree!)
UNIQLO AIRism Long Sleeve Tees
This is the long sleeve version of the tee above, and it has that same thicker and heavier weight fabric. He wears these with sleek joggers, and because the fabric is thicker, it looks so much better than with any old long sleeve tee. Elevated basics make a HUGE difference. It’s like making a sandwich with really, really good bread versus your regular old store bought bread.
I’ve been telling y’all about these shirts for 15 years!! This is a thin base layer that you can wear under all regular t-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweaters to stay warmer. It’s thin, but the fabric retains heat and wicks away moisture so you’re warmer without adding bulk. The sleeves are also intentionally shorter to stay hidden under shirts. I wear these under everything in the winter, and everyone in our family has some. Your husband, brother, dad, all need some too! (I wear THESE.)
Theragun | Option with more attachments
This is a LIFE SAVER to recover from workouts. We originally had a cheaper one from a different brand that we thought was good, but then we tried a Theragun at someone else’s house and TOTALLY felt the difference. There’s something about the Theragun that can just get into the muscles in a way others don’t!
We have the generation before this one and the different attachments.
Ten Thousand Interval Workout Shirt
If your husband or brother works out a lot, get him some of these! They cost a bit more, but my husband LOVES them. He has a Nike DriFit Workout Tee, but he says it’s scratchy compared to the Ten Thousand tee. He went on and on about how these breathe really well, how you don’t ever feel hot in them, how they drape really well, and how they have a flattering fit. He said they feel really good against your skin, and it’s the right amount of stretch.
Ten Thousand Midweight Tech Hoodie
This is expensive for a hoodie, but Benson LOVESSSSS it. He says, “You wouldn’t think you should pay that much for a hoodie, but I’ve gotten SO many compliments about how nice it looks and how good the cut is. It just looks really good. It’s both warm and breathes well. You don’t overheat in it.” IMHO it’s true — it does look WAY more elevated than a regular hoodie up close. The fabric is really nice, and according to Benson, it performs well with breathability and warmth.
Super compact and can charge your phone, Apple Watch, and AirPods quickly. You can fold it flat to travel with it, too. Looks really clean!
PMTer Tamara said, “I got my husband a really nice monogrammed & handmade apron for when he grills. It’s made of denim and has leather accents and cool hooks to secure it. Best gift ever (I was told)!” It looks like this one.
This is a recommendation from PMTer, Lindsey, who says, “Haha. I bought it mostly as a joke, but he loves it so much!! 😂 He told everyone about it for weeks.”
We don’t own this one, but it’s SUPER popular! Get this for the guy who likes grilling or cooking.
Weatherproof Roll-Top Backpack
Super modern design! Made from durable, water resistant, recycled PET, it has a laptop compartment and a cushioned back panel. My husband doesn’t own this one — he owns a super high-end-bag-nerd one that’s ridiculously expensive 🤑, but this one looks like a GREAT affordable version with really good reviews. It’s Quince, so you know it’s pretty good. Also available in olive green and a deep blue.
This has been a life-saver to the guys we’ve gifted it to. Never have to worry about running out of battery when on the go, commuting, or on vacation.
Leather MagSafe Wallet & Phone Stand
Minimalist cardholder and phone stand all in one! Also available in tan.
Benson loves this for its sleek design, how well it seals, and how well it keeps drinks hot. Comes with a splash guard.
Zojirushi Travel Coffee Tumbler
This is another super popular, well-loved mug for coffee, tea, and water!
Isn’t it annoying when your hot drink gets lukewarm while drinking from a mug? This mug keeps your drink hot!
Time to update his slippers? PMTers shared that the guys in their lives really love these slippers for having good support and for breathing well.
Benson has these and loves them. His feet run hot, and he says the wool in these does a great job of regulating temperature, and they’re cozy. He’s had them for a long time and says, “I would definitely buy again.”
My whole family’s favorite water bottle! I just stinking LOVE how well water flows from the straw, they DO NOT LEAK, and how the straw top is covered. Plus, there’s a sip option too, in addition to straw. This has seriously been the only bottle that’s never EVER leaked on me in an airplane. Lots of colors!
Mysoda Sparkling Water Maker (Compatible with SodaStream)
Benson loves his sparkling water and uses this every day. I asked why he chose this one over the popular SodaStream, and he said he likes the design better (I agree), and he liked that it’s made from recycled materials. It is compatible with SodaStream bottles, though!
My husband loves LEGO, and there are so many great sets for adults. Benson displays his creations as art in his office. The LEGO Art, LEGO Retro, and LEGO Architecture sets are especially cool. Benson has this wave art set. This Van Gogh one is really cool. And the Tokyo Skyline set and London Skyline set would be great gifts. There are so many cool sets out there, so I rounded up more LEGO sets you could gift him.
Funko Pop characters are always fun to display! Get one for anything they’re into — their favorite sports player, Marvel hero, anime character, and more. You can check out a bunch of Funko Pops here. There are also even more characters here.
Here’s Benson’s display of Funko Pop and the LEGO wave art set!
If he does not have packing cubes yet, for the love, PLEASE get him a set! These are a travel essential — they keep your suitcase and travel more organized and make your life way easier.
Kind of a funny thing to list, but so many guys I know LOVE having one. Like, absolutely loooooove it.
A huge cooler that’s lighter than others, holds a lot, keeps food cold for long periods, and is durable. A lot of people say these are better than far more expensive coolers!
