Gift Ideas for Men

Today I’m sharing 66 gift ideas for men…some of the hardest recipients to shop for!

Before we get down to it, I thought it would be helpful to share what the top 5 best-sellers from my 2021 men’s gift guide were in case you’re new! Last year this was one of my favorite gift guides!

Previous Reader Favorite Gifts for Men
  1. Camping Tent: We have now camped in this tent three times and absolutely LOVE it. It’s available in several sizes — 6-person, 8-person, 10-person. My favorite features are the huge mesh windows which allow for max air flow and a curtain room divider so the kids can have their own space separate from ours. If you’re buying for the man who loves to camp, you may also want to check out the Chillbo Couch!
  2. Game Day Pullover: With tons of collegiate and MLB teams to pick from, this best-selling quarter-zip pullover is the ideal mid-weight layer for game day in the fall. It is designed with an innovative stretch French terry fabric that is moisture-wicking, quick-dry, UPF 50+ sun protection and easy-care.
  3. Sporty Stripe Golf Driver Club Cover: Made from wipeable faux leather with a preppy stripe design, this expandable cover is designed to fit up to a 460cc driver and features a Velcro closure that makes removing and replacing clubs quick and easy. Add a custom embroidered monogram for a thoughtful gift for your favorite golfers.
  4. Cole Haan Sneakers: Matt has these in the marine/gray/ivory color and wears them all the time. They are comfortable and look super sharp!
  5. Floafers: I got these for Matt several summers ago and I swear he would sleep in them if I let him. These waterproof driver shoes are SO comfortable, come in several colors and look super sharp. Matt got SO, SO, SO many compliments on these shoes all summer long. He’s obsessed with them.

  22. Carbonated Beer Growler: The #1 seller from the TWO year’s gift guides!!! Matt’s dad surprised him with this gift for 2017 Christmas and we’ve gotten so much use out of it — especially in this city filled with breweries. This mini keg keeps beer fresh and carbonated for 2 weeks. Go ahead and grab some C02 refill cartridges for the stocking too.
