Best Gifts for Him: 27+ Gifts He'll Actually Want in 2023

Are you stumped about what to get the man in your life? Maybe it’s a male coworker, a cousin, or even your brother or husband (I’ve been there!) If you’re not sure what to give, check out this list of unique, must-have gifts he’ll actually be excited about unwrapping on Christmas morning!

Need more gift ideas? I’ve got you covered! You’ll find the best present options in the best gift ideas for women and creative gifts for kids and teens gift guides.

Let’s face it, some guys are just hard to shop for. Maybe they are the kind of guys that always buy what they want when they want it. Or maybe you don’t know them very well. Or maybe, they simply seem to already have it all.

In either case, it just helps to have a list of gift ideas you can browse. Check out all of the ideas below – you’ll be able to check “gift shopping” off your list PLUS the giftee will absolutely love what you’ve gifted him.

Or, maybe you want to give something the entire family can enjoy like the Solo Stove. My husband gave it to me as a Mother’s Day gift last year and I promise he loves it as much (if not more!) than I do.

How do we choose the gift ideas in our gift guides?

As always, they’re chosen with the highest integrity. We only choose highly rated products that we either have already or would personally buy ourselves.

Also, we include gifts of ALL price ranges because budgets vary. Some families go in on group gifts and prefer a higher price point, and others are looking for something more affordable (but still thoughtful.) For example, this couch coaster is practical and costs only $25, whereas this griddle makes a great group gift.
