Christmas gifts for men can be a notoriously hard category to shop for—either he has it all or he doesn’t really have a list of items he’s coveting. My husband is definitely one of these guys. Everything he wants he buys for himself, and he’s a shopaholic in his own right. Whether it’s something for the house, gear for his favorite hobbies, or fun toys to play with our 7 year old, he’s always got things on his radar so I have to scoop them up before he has a chance to. Or make sure I’m ahead of his radar which is what I always do at the holidays.

I start shopping for my husband’s holiday gifts early and always keep a list of products he mentions or cool stuff I find on Instagram or TikTok. Last Christmas I scored big time with getting him the latest from Solo Stove (the tabletop version) and Bombas slippers (the best gift he’s ever gotten according to him!). So this year I started keeping the list even earlier.

If you’ve got a hard to shop for guy on your holiday list, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s your husband, brother, dad or a friend, Christmas gifts for men can be much easier than you think.
