Let’s be honest: Shopping for men is difficult. Whether it’s your boyfriend, husband, new casual hookup you haven’t DTR’d with yet, or man in your immediate family, it’s tricky to show men you care with purchased goods.
You may have gotten lucky in the past with meaningful anniversary, birthday and Father’s Day gifts but getting it right year after year is a daunting task. Fortunately for you, SPY editors spend all year long hunting down the best gift ideas for men, including plenty of options for those impossible to shop for men. In the past year, we’ve made a list of the best gadgets, grooming products, fashion essentials and more goodies. We also recently narrowed down the best men’s products in The 2021 Man, our annual awards, to ensure you’re gifting the best items money can buy.
Smart home devices could be the ticket if he’s an undercover geek who loves gizmos. He might be a spirits connoisseur whose bar could benefit from some fancy tequilas or glassware upgrades. He may be the simple type that values practical EDC accessories like Bluetooth trackers or noise-canceling headphones. Whichever gifting direction you’re going in, we’ve got options on this list.
By now, you should have a pretty good idea of what he loves. And if you’re still unsure, check out our list of must-have gifts for men to help narrow your selections. These men’s gift ideas span every category and price point, including gadgets, booze, cooking appliances, fashion essentials, and other cool finds.
Read on to find the best gifts for men in 2022.
