"My dad only ever had one gift idea on his wishlist: socks. And while the sock market has certainly blown up in recent years, I tend to want to buy gifts for the men in my life that are a little more thoughtful, creative, or practical—beyond cozy foot coverings.
But why are men so hard to shop for? Whether browsing ideas for my husband, brother, or father-in-law, when it comes to the best gifts for men, the internet is one endless shopping aisle with a lot of items I just don’t get (fishing lures? I’m out of my depth). Sure, my husband will send me random products he gets fed by his Instagram algorithm, but I don’t usually save these gift ideas to remember around his birthday or Father’s Day (nor do I want to fall for another Instagram shopping scam). So, if you’re also looking for ideas for the guys in your life, we decided to make it easier.
Here, we’ve broken down our top gifts for men based on their interests and hobbies. Keep scrolling for great gift ideas for the guys.
