But instead of reaching for yet another pair of socks or desk gadget, remember that Christmas only comes once a year — so let’s make it memorable! With the help of our editors’ expertise and handpicked suggestions, we’re here to help you find gifts that go beyond the ordinary and bring a genuine smile to his face. And yes, while the list might include socks, toys, and desk gadgets, they’re the best ones we can find.
As you start, keep a few key things in mind to guide your gift selection. First, consider his hobbies and passions. Is he into grilling, tech gadgets, or the great outdoors?

Next, consider your budget: Whether you’re aiming for something practical, luxurious, or just plain fun, there are standout options at various price point.
If you’re shopping for multiple men, take a moment to think about each one individually. The gift that would delight your dad might not have the same impact on your brother or best friend.

Here’s our expertly curated roundup of the best Christmas gifts for men, perfect for spreading holiday cheer well into the new year.

We love it and know he will, too!
