the best gifts for your partner, dad, grandad or grown son
Over the years, I’ve learned that men really appreciate gifts that scratch one of a few itches: an item they want but wouldn’t buy for themselves, something that makes daily life easier, or a way to better enjoy projects, hobbies and rest.
Of course, finding those items takes time. In fact, one study found that the average person will spend nine hours shopping for the hardest-to-buy-for recipient on their list. And you know who often tops that list of hard-to-buy for folks? Men.
But today I did the work for you! Simply use the list below to grab gifts all the men in your life actually want. Consider this a one-and-done situation.

Gifts under $30
Darn Tough Socks: Wool socks can be pricey, but this brand offers affordability, comfort and quality. Plus, if a hole appears, he can return them for a replacement pair—even decades into owning them!
Carhartt Dopp Bag: Made with a water-repellent fabric inside and out, this dopp bag includes everything he needs and nothing he doesn’t: an easy grab-and-go handle and a main compartment. That’s it. And while it might sound crazy to forgot extra pockets and zippers, many men love the simplicity.
Power Stretch Gloves: Every man needs a pair of power stretch gloves. These are fleece-lined, meaning he’ll stay warm and be able to get things done without the bulk of cheaper winter gloves. For a pair that blocks wind and water, give these a try.
Football: One of the simplest joys of his life probably involved tossing a football in the yard with friends. So get him his own pigskin again. Here’s my pro tip: grab one in the junior size, which is weirdly way more fun to throw—for kids and adults alike!
Box 1 Game: This uber popular game from Neil Patrick Harris is designed to be played by just one person. It features challenging puzzles, trivia and codes. The reviews for this one are off the charts!
Carhartt Beanie: The most classic winter hat for a reason. Offers the perfect amount of warmth and comes in so many great colors too.
Portable Golf Ball Cleaner: Okay this is the coolest idea! The small bag holds water inside to gently clean his golf balls and clubs on the go—no towels required.

This version, which includes a rechargeable battery, means he won’t be restricted by the closest outlet. It might sound niche, but trust me when I tell you he’ll get tons of use out of this one.
Multi-Tool: The beloved multi-tool that every man needs (and secretly wants). It includes a pocket knife, pliers, a wire stripper, multiple blades, screwdrivers and so much more!
Shop Vac: Shop vacuums are incredibly useful, from sucking up spills to cleaning out the car to tidying up from a big house project.
Mini Chainsaw: This portable chainsaw comes in clutch whenever he needs to trim a tree or clean up branch debris.
Cordless Fan: This fan does not mess around. Trust me. It’s powered by the same battery he uses to power other tools, making it perfect for garage or driveway projects. Plus he can also take it to your kids’ sports games, tailgating and so much more!
Gifts he can wear
Champion Hoodie: I love the sporty, slim fit of this hoodie for a laid-back, vintage look. With eight colors to choose from, you can’t go wrong!
Lululemon Joggers: These joggers fit and flex better than any other athletic pants out there. Absolutely worth the cost. Plus he can throw on an open button-up shirt and not look like he just left the gym.
Session Shorts: I’m told these are the BEST shorts for working out, with a great stretch and a super-breathable fabric. Available in 5- or 7-inch inseams and with streamlined pockets for storing his phone, keys and wallet.
Marmot Rain Jacket: You’ll get your money’s worth—and then some—on this jacket. Somehow completely leak-proof, to keep him totally dry, but also super breathable and lightweight. No easy feat! For a more affordable option, give this one a try.
Cashmere Sweater: Quince cashmere features incredible warmth and comfort at a surprisingly affordable price. I love every single color offered here. And the Henley buttons really take this sweater over the top!
Hey Dude Slipper: The kind of gift that feels like a warm hug at the end of the day — light, ultra‑comfortable with its faux shearling lining, but still rugged enough for a quick trip outside. It’s the cozy home-wear upgrade he doesn’t know he needs… until he slips them on.
Gifts to Up His Cooking Game
BBQ Knife: If he loves to BBQ or grill out, he needs this knife! The premium Japanese steel is especially designed for slicing brisket, roast and ribs just right. A great gift for him, and for you, without a doubt!
Pizza Oven: Serve up brick-oven-style pizza right there in your own backyard with this Ooni pizza oven. And with individual pizza cooking times of just 60 seconds, he can throw a whole pizza party!
Staub Cast Iron: Cooking in cast iron makes every food taste better. I’m serious. And he can pass this pan down to his kids. Yes, it’s that good.
Grilling Thermometer: ThermoPro makes top-of-the-line thermometers, so you know you can trust this one. It comes with two probes and an app that allows him to read temps from the comfort of his phone.

TRX Kettlebell: Give him a kettlebell for a varied workout program. Kettlebells are great for farmer carries, swings, one arm presses and so much more! Pro tip: start with 35lbs for most men. The 44lb kettlebell works great for guys who are ready to move up in weight.
