13 Gifts For Him When You’re Fresh Out of Ideas

You might think of a pocket knife as a very dad-coded gift (not that that's a bad thing)... but then you clearly haven't seen this Art Deco inspired offering from Deejo. The geometric design that's been laser engraved onto the blade is a total showstopper, and the juniper wood handle it nests in is the perfect counterpoint. The name comes from the knife's weight – only 37 grams – making it an ultralight pocket item that cuts perfectly every time.

Whether he’s a runner, a weightlifter, or an unwilling participant on your evening walks, he’ll be surprisingly enthused by this sneaky-favorite gift. These Bombas socks boast honeycomb arch support, airflow venting and a seamless toe – which means they’re sure to be that pair of socks (you know – the ones he’s constantly keeping tabs on). Luckily they come in a four-pack, so he’ll have plenty of extra pairs on deck. 

If we know one thing, it’s that guys love a silicone ring. Whether he’s traveling, working out, or hitting the golf range, this ring will keep him feeling comfortable thanks to a smooth finish that reduces friction and catching with other materials. Make it extra special and engrave it with his name or the date of your anniversary. 

Update description to: Four Sigmatic is home to the better-for-you brews that the market has been waiting for. If he’s the type of guy to crave a caffeine fix as soon as he wakes up, this bundle will meet his needs efficiently and deliciously. The pack includes two bags of organic “Think” ground coffee, which has been infused with lion's mane (to boost brain functionality) and chaga (which is high in antioxidants); a Sweet Vanilla “Think” Creamer inclusive of the same mentally-boosting additives; and a “Focus” mushroom blend which can be added to his final brew to support brain health and memory through the use of Cacao, Vitamin B12 and more.

Whether he’s constantly picking up his phone or working on the computer, your guy could probably use a pair of blue light glasses to keep his eyes protected. DIFF’s Sawyer style is a classic frame with scratch-resistant nylon lenses. It’s a sophisticated style he’ll love receiving and you’ll love gifting, especially when you factor in that each DIFF purchase contributes to the brand’s partnership with Sightsavers, ensuring someone in need is able to receive eye exams, glasses, medicine, and/or surgery.

Gyms have opened back up, and your guy is likely thrilled. Help him celebrate by gifting your swolemate this sleek bag from Stuart and Lau. The tote is multi-purpose, so he can haul it to the gym, to the office, and even to the airport. It’s riddled with compartments for the essentials like a change of clothes, laptop, water bottles, and it even features a ventilated shoe pocket. It holds up to 45L in volume and is constructed from hardwearing, waterproof materials, so he can use it every day, no matter the weather forecast.

In the world we live in, it’s hard not to be excitable. If he’s dealing with bouts of anxiety, this writer speaks from experience when she says adding these gummies to his daily vitamin routine might help. The Sunday Scaries rando bundle stocks your pantry with CBD essentials that taste as good as they work. My personal favorite is the Vegan AF CBD Gummies that taste like sour gumdrops, but the set also includes a bottle of the brand’s original CBD gummy bears (also tasty), as well as a tincture to use at bedtime for a more restful sleep.

Wallets stuffed with credit cards and loose cash can get bulky, fast. Lessen the load by having him switch to The Ridge. The Carbon Fiber 3K can hold up to 12 cards without stretching the hardware and features a bifold for receipts, plus an elastic cash strap to store his dollars seamlessly.

If the guy on your list loves makeup, I cannot recommend Lunar Beauty enough. Founded by Manny Gutierrez (whom his fans know best as Manny MUA), Lunar Beauty is an all-inclusive cosmetic brand with products designed with any and all genders in mind and The Life’s A Drag Facelift Palette is the perfect gift for beginner and pro artists alike being that it’s made complete with everyday neutral mattes, pops of color, and some sparkle shades for added glitz. 

Everyone could use a good night’s sleep, and if you know for a fact your guy’s been tossing and turning, a pair of silk pajamas will be the perfect gift for him this year. They’re made from 22 momme charmeuse silk and are roomy and breathable, making them a staple for sleeping or lounging. LilySilk’s set also comes available in 10 beautiful colors, including a very festive red hue, if you’d like to stick with the holiday theme.

Treat the man on your list who appreciates a cold one to a subscription of international sips. Your new Beer of the Month Club member will receive 12 12o-ounce bottles (6 of each kind) of hand-crafted beer selected from breweries around the globe. Each shipment will also include a monthly newsletter providing background on the beer, like tasting notes and the best foods to pair them with. Bottom’s up!

Help him spice things up this holiday season with the Heatonist Hot One’s Dos Los XXX Trio. The three-sauce kit will really put his spice tolerance to the test with bottles of Los Calientes, Los Calientes Rojo, and The Last Dab XXX that measure up hot, hotter, and hottest. Join in on the fun or participate as a spectator. Either way, make sure you get it all on tape.

If he’s particular about his beard and is overly passionate about his grooming process, the best gift for him is the Shave Kit from Bevel. The luxe kit includes a safety razor, shave brush, pre-shave oil, shave cream, balm, and extra blades. Should he enjoy the products (which he most definitely will), there’s an option to sign up for a refill kit that can be canceled or skipped at any time.
