Line of Trade Slim Wallet

for the man who needs to slim down

PROS

CONS

Does the guy in your life have his wallet down to a science? Does he obsess over his everyday carry? Or could he perhaps use a more streamlined wallet with so much, well, stuff in it? While it might be a hard habit to break, Line of Trade does its parts to help stylish guys everywhere, putting this handsome, effective leather wallet out into the universe in the process. In fact, this wallet is deceptive in terms of its design – it features space for up to 15 cards, so he never misses a beat on the go.

YETI Rambler Colster Beer Can Insulator

For the beer guy

PROS

CONS

If he loves his beers and wants to keep them nice and cold the entire time he’s sipping, your father will fall in love with this can insulator from our favorite brand, YETI. Unlike some other brands, you can actually toss this one right in the dishwasher after use.

I own this one in their maroon version from a few years ago and have personally gifted the navy blue one and the one in seafoam green. They’ll keep his beverages cold for a hours, not that he’ll be sipping his beer for that long, is scratch resistant, and is designed to not sweat – keeping your hands nice and dry. While the 12 ounce size fits most standard cans, I’ve also been able to put a beer bottle inside too – it jiggles a little, but still does the trick.

Jack Black Beard Care

for the beardy dude

PROS

CONS

For me, my beard and my skin is almost always dry, especially in the winter. If he’s not moisturizing and exfoliating his face on the regular, this beard oil will come in handy because it’s focused on your dry skin overall.

It’ll help to soften his overall whiskers and thanks to the vitamin E, melon and plum oils working together it’ll help keep those pesky dry skin beard flakes at bay. While the brand recommends using 2-3 drops per session, I found that since I don’t have a huge beard, I really only needed 1-2 drops. A little goes a long way with this one and the perfect gift for him that’s currently way under $50!

Ducihba Cigar Humidor

for the cigar smoking man

PROS

CONS

If the man you’re buying for loves his cigars, you can’t go wrong with this best selling humidor. For me the price was really attractive since me and my friends are only social cigar smokers and not aficionados. I didn’t really need a humidor that stored 100+ cigars, so this desktop option that stores between 25 – 50 worked best for me and it will work for most occasional cigar smokers.

Outside of the price I liked the feel of the outside of the humidor that was a clean and cool cherry finish. When opening up the humidor I got a nice whiff of Spanish cedar, which is always a favorite of mine.

J. Crew “484” Slim Fit Jeans

best for the casual guy

PROS

CONS

If he’s due for a a denim upgrade, check out these beauts from J.Crew. Year after year these 484-fits from J. Crew are my absolute favorite. They fit perfectly and aren’t too slim or too relaxed. There are a bunch of different washes you can choose from, but you can’t go wrong with their classic Resin Rinse.

I love how soft they actually feel compared to some other jeans I own (even the real expensive ones that come in at over $250 – yikes!) I feel like the dark selvedge are a bit stiffer than J. Crew’s lighter washed jeans, which isn’t the worst – just a heads up. I prefer wearing darker anyway when I have to feel a little more dressed up.

Editor’s Tip: Due to the dark color, make sure you wash these with darker colors for the first few washes to make sure it doesn’t bleed onto anything light. My real tip? I’m not known for washing my jeans regularly (I know, I’m gross) – but it keeps them looking great.

Manscaped The Lawnmower 5.0 Ultra

for the hairy dude

PROS

CONS

Looking for a place to start your grooming journey down there? You’d be hard-pressed to find a company more focused on better grooming for guys than Manscaped, as the name would imply.

This tool gets things started in smooth, finely crafted fashion, with a sleek build and easy-to-use operation, which certainly drew me to Manscaped in the first place. It comes with two adjustable comb settings and one fixed-blade comb setting for trimming, shaping and shaving, and the process couldn’t be more efficient.

Kiehl's Facial Fuel For Men

for the skincare obsessed bro

PROS

CONS

If he’s looking for the perfect facial cleanser to wake him the heck up in the morning, this is it. I’ve been personally using Kiehl’s Facial Fuel since 2010. It contains key ingredients to help revitalize your face like caffeine, menthol, and vitamin E.

To me it’s like a guys-guy scent that’s masculine without being overpowering and smells like your barber shop with you’re getting a professional shave. It helps to make all my facial hairs stand at attention, giving me a quicker and pain-free shave.

Saxx Droptemp Cooling Briefs

For the guy who's always hot

PROS

CONS

Saxx may be the underwear brand you haven’t heard of, but one that you need to know about. Famous for their “ball pouch” these odor-controlled, temp dropping, moisture-wicking briefs feel oh-so buttery soft, keeps your boys in place, and sits nicely at your waist without squeezing too tight, which kind of keeps your ever-growing muffin top in place without spilling over (in most cases).

If he’s a hot sleeper or just a big sweater during the day, these will probably be his bet.

Ooni Karu Outdoor Pizza Oven

for the pizza loving man

PROS

CONS

Ooni features several different models, from wood and charcoal fueled to gas fueled – even a combination of both, which is the model above. And the best part about gifting him an outdoor pizza oven? He’ll probably invite you over for a slice.

This model is at the lowest price I’ve seen in a while and compared to other outdoor pizza makers, this is a really great price overall.

The Ooni will make a delicious 12-inch pizza in just 60 seconds and heats up to over 850-degrees in less than 15 minutes.

Dolce&Gabbana "Light Blue" Summer Vibes Cologne

for the scent obsessed

PROS

CONS

I feel like you really can’t ever go wrong with gifting him an amazing fragrance, especially one that he can use in the warmer months (spring, summer, early fall).

This 2.5 ounce cologne spray truly is giving summer vibes with notes of earthy woods, citrus, and my personal favorite – Sicilian lemon.

I’m alway a fan of a light scent that isn’t overpowering and leaves you feeling fresh, light, and clean.

Victorinox Swiss Army Knife

for the little gadget guy

PROS

CONS

This gadget is a total classic winner! The Evolution Wood S557 is a Swiss-made pocket knife from Victorinox, known for its elegant wood scales and the Victorinox logo. It combines design with practicality, includes 19 impressive functions including a large blade, scissors, a screwdriver, and a bottle opener.

Overall the knife is compact with dimensions of 3.3 inches in length and 1.1 inches in height, weighing 4.48 ounces. The blade offers durability and resistance to corrosion, ideal for all kinds of cutting tasks that oddly come up during his day. The screwdriver caters to multiple needs, while the scissors provide strength for tough cuts. The stainless steel bottle opener is perfect for both professional bartenders and just everyday home use.

If he loves his Swiss Army knife when he was a little kid, he’ll like this modern update with a wooden twist.

Best Dad Ever Print

for the new dad

PROS

CONS

We have an entire gift guide dedicated to dads, but if the guy on your list is a dad (new or old) we highly recommend this thoughtful print.

This frame can be customized in several ways, from size and moulding to color themes and specialty options. You can’t go wrong with the perfect photo and memory from the folks at Minted. Personalize and upload both your photo and your message!

One-Dozen Golf Balls From Titleist

for the guy who golfs

PROS

CONS

Because most men can always use some extra golf balls. Not that they lose them in the woods or anything. Allegedly. These are the number one best selling golf balls on Amazon at this time, come as a set of 12, feel very soft (which he’ll appreciate), and come in different color options too (hello, yellow!).

If he obsesses over Adam Scott, Paul Casey, or Justin Thomas he’ll love that these amazing players are currently using these balls too. If it’s good enough for them…

Parachute Waffle Robe

for the man who loves the spa

PROS

CONS

It’s the robe of all robes, especially if he likes a spa-like look and feel. This top selling waffle robe from Parachute Home is lightweight, soft, features 2 hip pockets, a folded collar and a secure waist tie.

An ideal robe for staying warm around the house, or pretending he’s at a high end spa. Hey, it’s ok to dream. He can definitely file this one under things he never even knew he needed.

Coravin Pivot Wine Preservation System

best for the wino

PROS

CONS

Game changer! If he’s into sampling wines, blind tastings, holding tasting parties, or just aren’t planning to finish the entire bottle tonight, this will save his absolute favorite wines – whether pricey or not.

You can pour and enjoy without removing the cork, allowing you to preserve still wines for weeks, months, and even years. Other models available as well.

YETI Hopper Backpack Cooler

for the party dude on the go

PROS

CONS

In one of YETI’s new colors that we’re obsessed with, this soft cooler holds up to 36 cans with a 2:1 ice-to-can ratio. It’s easy to carry and keeps all his most important things (like his beers) nice and cold.

And we love anything hands free. Chances are high you’re transporting more than just your beverages, and this definitely makes life easier. Sometimes you can save a little extra if you have a YETI coupon, but other than that you’re good to go.

Todd Snyder x New Era Nubby Camel Cap

for the baseball cap fan

PROS

CONS

One of our editors here purchased this one (as a Red Sox fan), and loves it. It adds a chill vibe with a clean and simple aesthetic. This epic new drop from the highly sought-after TS and New Era collab blends sharp fabrics with sporty flair. It’s flawlessly crafted, featuring an official team logo, chain-stitched in white.

It also features New Era’s 59Fifty fitted style, an embroidered MLB logo on the back, an embroidered tonal New Era logo on the side, an olive sweatband and camo interior tape.

Rustic Town Leather Travel Toiletry Bag

for the travelin' man

PROS

CONS

They can finally store their toiletries in something other than a zip lock bag (not that there’s anything wrong with that). This Dopp kit is a travel MVP with dual compartments to keep all their toiletries organized on the go. Designed for both, max storage and easy handling, it measures L-10 x W-5 x H-6 inches.

Available in a variety of shades, it’s crafted from full grain leather that rocks a vintage and retro vibe, while being roomy enough (with 2 separate compartments and extra zippered pockets) to stash plenty of items, like deodorant, shaving cream, razor, cologne and more. But fear not, the inside lining is waterproof, so they can stress less when it comes to inevitable spills and leaks while traveling. A little added bonus – especially if giving this one as a gift – is the dust bag for a little pizzazz and protection.
