Shopping for the men in your life can be a challenge—especially those who seem to have everything or claim they “don’t need anything.” This holiday season, we’ve rounded up a selection of thoughtful, helpful, and downright impressive gifts that will surprise even the most impossible-to-shop-for guys. From clothing items that will become his favorites, to useful items he’ll wonder how he did without, this guide has something for every guy on your list.
Duluth Men’s Seawool Lightweight Long Sleeve Shirt ($59.50, Duluth.com)
Every guy needs that perfect weekend shirt that’s as cozy and comfortable as PJs but put-together enough for brunch or a gathering of friends.
The shirt, available in several colors and a wide range of sizes, is a blend of cotton and recycled poly reclaimed from the sea. It has an easy, vintage vibe, a perfect length for being worn untucked, and Reach Gussets® for plenty of mobility. My husband is a flannel shirt aficionado, and this shirt has become his go-to.
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que The Pitmaster Pack ($60, Dinosaurbarbque.com)
If he loves to grill, this gift set will make a tasty addition to his grilling game.
The gift set includes Dinosaur Bar-B-Que’s award-winning Sensuous Slathering Sauce, the popular Wango Tango Habanero, Big Action Spice Rub, and useful grilling tools, including a digital thermometer.

Everyday California Everyday Recycled Boardshorts ($68, Everydaycalifornia.com)
If his beach shorts have seen better days, give him a pair of these! These fast-drying, flattering shorts are made for “surf-to-street living,” with 4-way stretch and UPF 50+ sun protection.
These stylish shorts will make him feel like one of the cool kids, and bonus, they are made with eco-friendly recycled fabric. Available in four fab colors and sizes S to XXL.
Aer Gym Tote 2 ($129, Aersf.com)
This tote is one of the most multi-functional I’ve seen. It’s called a Gym Bag, but its innovative design makes it ideal for use as a briefcase and travel tote.
The bag has so many features I appreciate, including an integrated shoe pouch, a water bottle pocket, a padded laptop compartment, just the right amount of internal and external pockets, and even a suitcase sleeve! It also stands up on its own, so he doesn’t have to worry about it tipping over.
Sightglass Coffee Fireside Flight ($55; value $69.50, Sightglass.com)
Sightglass Coffee was recently named one of Chowhound’s top 15 coffee roasters in America. For the guy who takes his Joe very seriously, this wintery coffee trio of beans includes three rich varietals: Winter Solstice, Toketee, and Ethiopia Worka Chelbessa, a mix of blends and single origins.
The coffees are roasted to order. Orders will begin shipping on November 5.
Waterfield Designs Finn Access Wallet ($79 and up, Sfbags.com)
If his wallet has seen better days, this wallet is a sturdy, smart-looking, and practical replacement. It has a zipper that prevents accidental loss of credit cards and cash, offers RFID protection, and features an outer pocket that holds his go-to credit or transit card securely.
The wallet is available in several colors and sizes, including ones that hold a passport or an iPhone 17! And these wallets can take a beating. I know someone who has used theirs for over 10 years, and it still looks great.
