Top 10 Gifts for Him (That He’ll Actually Use)

Buying gifts for men is famously confusing. They either want nothing or the most specific, niche item that exists only in a secret Reddit thread. So here’s a curated list of gifts he will actually love, practical, stylish, techy, and guaranteed to win you points.

1. New Balance 574 V2 Unisex Sneakers

For the man who wants comfort but refuses to admit he cares about fashion. These classics go with everything: jeans, joggers, airport outfits, “I’m just running errands” vibes. They’re stylish without trying too hard, which, let’s be honest, is the male dream aesthetic.

2. Tile Slim Wallet Tracker

For the man who loses literally everything.

If he’s constantly asking, “Have you seen my wallet?”, this is your solution. Slip this into his wallet and suddenly he’s a responsible adult again. Works with iPhone and Android, so no excuses.

3. Meta Quest 3S (128GB)

For the man who grew up gaming, or still behaves like he does.

It has 2x the graphical power, more memory, and comes with the Gorilla Tag bundle. Translation: he’ll disappear for hours and re-emerge sweaty but very, very happy.

4. Cologne (here's my favourite) Dolce & Gabbana The One, Eau de Toilette

For the man you want to smell like an expensive husband.

Warm, masculine, sexy. The kind of scent that makes you bury your face in his sweater and forget what you were mad about.

5. Amazon Essentials 100% Cotton Fisherman Sweater

For the man who secretly wants to be cozy but won’t say it out loud. A timeless cable-knit classic. Looks good on absolutely everyone. Bonus: you can steal it later and call it yours.

6. Stanley Travel Mug With Integrated French Press (16 oz)

For the man who worships coffee like a personality trait. This is a French press inside a travel mug. Brew on the go. Keeps coffee hot for hours. Leakproof for car rides, hiking, work, or surviving life.

7. Amazon Kindle (Newest Model, 16 GB)

For the man who reads, or for the man you want to start reading.It’s the lightest Kindle ever, with faster page turns and better contrast. If he travels, commutes, or just loves tech, this is a 10/10 pick. Pair it with a book recommendation and it's thoughtful perfection.

8. Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm, GPS)

For the man who loves stats, tracking, closing rings, and pretending he’s training for a marathon. Fitness tracking, sleep tracking, heart monitoring, and a sleek midnight design. Practical, stylish, and guaranteed to become his everyday essential.

9. LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (25th Anniversary Edition)

For the man who says “I’m not obsessed with Star Wars” while owning multiple lightsabers. It’s a collector’s model, complete with a display stand. Building it is half the fun, displaying it is the other half. This is the gift that screams "I know your inner child and I support him."

10. PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle

For the man who treats gaming like a sport, hobby, and form of therapy. It’s the PS5, enough said. The Fortnite bundle is just the icing on a very addictive cake. If you give him this, he may propose out of gratitude.

If you want it to feel extra personalized, pair the gift with something handwritten like a note, a joke only you two understand, or a line about why you picked it for him. Men may act simple, but they remember thoughtfulness forever. The holidays are approaching and gifts are selling fast, make sure to buy soon to avoid a morning without gifts.

(make sure to open your gifts first so you know if you need to tell him that some stuff is still on the way)
