The 70 Best Christmas Gifts for Men, Including the Best Stuff We’ve Tested This Year

Remove those funky ties from your cart. We know men can be so hard to shop for, but that doesn’t mean your gift has to be a cliché. We set out to find the best Christmas gifts for men that your husband, father, coworker (and any other man in your life) will actually love.

We constantly test the best products on the market so we know which gifts will wow him. We’ve tested almost half of these items ourselves (like handy-in-a-pinch power banks and even giftable celebrity-owned alcohol brands), and we’ve included gifts that we’re eyeing for our loved ones, too. Here are the best Christmas gifts for men. 

Top Gifts for Men

Gifts Under $10

Practical, humorous, and thoughtful gifts don’t have to break the bank. Whether you’re looking for stocking stuffers or you just want to gift him something small, we’ve found great gifts for under $10.

If the special guy in your life enjoys a good cup of coffee, gift him the best milk frother on the market — which you can grab at Amazon for less than $10. This handheld frother was the best of 26 milk frothers we tested, beating out some truly pricey devices.

It’s rare that you find a luxurious gift at such a low cost, but this wallet achieves the impossible with durable and sleek construction that exceeds expectations. One shopper says the quality is “so far above what their price reflects,” while another describes it as “made to last.”

The braniac in your life will love this book of crossword puzzles, which features the most difficult puzzles from The New York Times. But beware: Reviewers say these puzzles are only for those “looking for a serious challenge.”

If you’re not sure of your gift recipient’s interests and preferences (maybe they don’t take milk with their coffee or aren’t great at crossword puzzles), giving them a gift from your travels (or a place they love to talk about) is a great way to show someone you care about them.

Gifts Under $25

This year, we’re intent on giving the men in our lives gifts that they’ll actually use. We’ve found practical gifts like Patrick Dempsey’s go-to sneaker cleaner, some of the best packing cubes we’ve tested, and a power bank that’ll keep his devices charged at the game, on the golf course, or while traveling.

While the grillmaster in your life might insist he doesn’t need a meat thermometer, he won’t be able to resist using this one. This meat thermometer consistently gave us accurate temperature readings during our testing, and we loved the little details that set this thermometer apart, like the magnetized body that makes storage easy.

There are so many uses for AirTags, so this location tracking device has made our lists of the best luggage trackers and best dog gps trackers. We bet your guy will find even more uses for them, and he’s sure to love them, no matter what he’s tracking.

These Bluetooth earbuds have racked up over 35,000 five-star ratings. With crisp sound quality, a long battery life, and a lightweight design, these earbuds are suited for the gym, work, and travel.

Gifts Under $50

Keep it traditional by giving him high-quality underwear or encourage him to pamper himself with a grooming kit from one of our favorite beauty brands. Plus, we’ve included products our editors love, like the trendiest water bottle and a hot sauce that even made Oprah’s Favorite Things list.

Our shopping editor’s husband uses this mug every day without fail. It’s durable, stylish, and it keeps coffee warm for hours, according to reviewers.

Take him on a walk down memory lane with this reel viewer, which you can fill with some of his best memories. When the gadget arrives, it’ll come with a redeemable code to create your reel online. So be sure to start early if you plan on surprising him with this sentimental gift!

If the guy in your life could use a new money clip, he’ll love this leather option from Leatherology. It comes in black or brown leather, and you can have it embossed with his initials for an extra cost.

Gifts Under $100

No matter his interests, at this price range you can find something truly special. For the athlete, consider a massage gun to help him unwind and relieve muscle soreness. If your guy’s a homebody, gift him the best flannel bathrobe we’ve tested. Or, if he loves to travel, gift him the quality dopp kit that our editors love.

These are the best memory foam slippers we’ve tested. They’re warm, but they never made us overheat, and we loved that they didn’t require a break-in period. Plus, for every pair purchased, Bombas donates a pair.

This Blink doorbell is one of the best doorbell cameras we’ve tested and the only one available for less than $100. You’ll be gifting peace of mind with this doorbell, which features customizable motion detection settings, two-way audio, and an intuitive app.

He’ll be warm and cozy wherever he goes with this jacket from Jetty. It may look like a typical flannel, but don’t be fooled: The teddy inside “feels like the comfiest blanket,” according to reviewers.

Big-Ticket Gifts

Got a little more to spend? We’re wrapping up this list with more of our favorites: the best walking shoes we’ve tried, our favorite pizza oven, the best dress shoes we’ve worn, and a surprisingly effective skincare device that celebrities like Pedro Pascal have used. Shop even more of our favorites ahead.

These are the absolute best wireless earbuds. With superior sound quality, impressive noise cancellation, and a sleek appearance, they’re sure to be a hit with your men.

Gift your favorite audiophile a smoother listening experience with this turntable. We liken it to the “Goldilocks of record players,” since it delivers the manual experience of putting on a record with the ease of more automatic players. The semi-automatic tonearm and built-in preamp offer an ease that vinyl beginners will love, and seasoned listeners will enjoy the beautiful sound quality.

This alarm clock emulates the sunrise, slowly waking you with gentle sounds and light. It’s a thoughtful and premium gift  — and it’s something he probably wouldn’t splurge on for himself.

Why Trust PEOPLE?

Genevieve Cepeda is a staff shopping writer who is constantly testing new products, from home appliances to running shoes. After testing a Theragun this year, she’s excited to gift the athletes in her life a similar model. She made this gift guide with the help of PEOPLE shopping writers and editors, who also recommended top products they’ve tested this year. 

We’d only recommend the best for your friends and family. So, we narrowed down the thousands of PEOPLE Tested products to the ones that we think are actually worth your money.

What is PEOPLE Tested?

We created the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval to help you find the very best products for your life. We use our unique methodology to test products in three labs across the country and with our network of home testers to determine their effectiveness, durability, ease of use, and so much more. Based on the results, we rate and recommend products so you can find the right one for your needs.

But we don’t stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we’ve awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square.

In short, PEOPLE Tested provides recommendations you can trust — every day, every purchase.
