When you’re on the hunt for the best gifts for men, sure, you can get him some socks or a new set of tools and call it a day. (We’ve even included some chic upgrades for both.) But we bet that what he really wants is something that’ll make his day more enjoyable–whether that's through a time-saving gadget or a cologne that smells so good people will stop him on the street.
Need a gift for the husband who does the most? Upgrade his ratty college sweats with the ultra soft pair on this list (you may just want to steal them). New fathers, meanwhile, could use a book of dad jokes to start preparing for their future audience. And personalized gifts work for anyone; try a ball stamp for the golfer, a monogrammed journal for the dude who could use a few minutes away with his thoughts, or for something a touch more meaningful, a matchbox illustrated with your anniversary to keep the, err, flame going is a perfect present for your boyfriend.
From luxury gifts to help him celebrate a milestone like his 40th birthday, to practical under $50 finds for the fellas you don't know quite so well (hey there, boss man), these unique gift ideas are all co-signed by our editors and the coolest guys in our lives.
