1. Panasonic ER-GB96 Beard Trimmer

Whether your boyfriend has a whole beard or he’s constantly trimming his peach fuzz, you can’t find a better beard trimmer than the Panasonic ER-GB96. Panasonic has created some stellar beard trimmers in the past, and it hasn’t stopped with this model. With this trimmer, your boyfriend will have the ability to trim his beard to his perfect proportions using 58 differing precision settings from 1-30mm. The beard trimmer only comes with a few attachments, so he won’t have to dig around his beard trimmer bag for the right extension and take more time out of his day. This is a product that should be in every dude’s arsenal.

2. SAXX Underwear Volt Boxer Briefs

Basics like socks and underwear aren’t the most exciting gifts in the world, but they are useful, and if your boyfriend has been wearing the same underwear for years, it’s time to refresh. And one of our favorites to gift? SAXX. Let’s keep it real, SAXX Underwear is pricy, but they’re the best men’s underwear you can purchase. That’s why they make such a solid gift to give for Christmas. It’s a splurge to show that you want your man to feel comfortable and look hot. It’s a win for everyone.

3. L.L.Bean Wicked Good Moccasins

If you want to go above and beyond for your boyfriend’s comfort, get him a nice pair of slippers. These slippers are durable and able to wear outside, so your boyfriend won’t have to change his footwear when going from the couch to the dumpster when it’s time to take out the trash. They have that classic, fluffy interior that nobody is allowed to hate, so he can ensure his feet will stay cozy all season long.

4. Apple Watch Series 7

If your boyfriend is an Apple loyalist and loves a good smart device, this year, the latest Apple Watch is a great gift pick. It’s got an Always-On retina display that’s 20% larger than previous models. The front is made of crack-resistant crystal, and it’s got powerful apps that can measure your blood oxygen levels, take an ECG, teach mindfulness and even track your sleep closely.

5. Anker PowerCore Slim Portable Charger

We admit a portable charger is not the most exciting gift in the world, but it is a great tech gift and is something he’ll use every day. If he frequently forgets to charge his phone or has a phone that runs out of juice mid-work day, he needs this gadget. It’s made for superior durability inside and out and is built with PowerIQ and VoltageBoost for tailoring a charge up to 12 watts to the specific device it’s connected to. It can provide up to 2.25 charges for an iPhone 12 on each charge and comes in white and black color options.

6. Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells

This set of top-rated adjustable dumbbells easily became one of our favorite gifts in the past year. Each dumbbell can be adjusted between 5 and 52.5 pounds in 2.5-pound increments. If your boyfriend loves to work out and has been searching for ways to incorporate strength training into his routine, these are a great gift pick. They make it easy to switch from one exercise to the next, and they’re space-efficient so working out at home becomes easier.

7. Mack Weldon Ace Sweatpant

Is there anybody on Earth who doesn’t appreciate a good pair of sweatpants? Mack Weldon’s Ace Sweatpant is a SPY favorite for the available color varieties, terry cotton, modern cut and the bit of stretch they’ve built in. We know we’re giving you a lot of boyfriend gift ideas, and we can’t pick just one winner, but we have to say we guarantee he’ll wear the Ace Sweatpant. We even named these the best sweatpants two years running in the 2021 Man, our end-of-year product awards.

8. YIMICOO Telescoping Back Scratcher 6-Pack

Six. Whole. Back scratchers. You know what that means. One for your boyfriend, the rest for you. Leave one in the car, the bathroom, your bedroom, and your desk to itch that scratch you can never get. Your boyfriend? He can take his back scratcher with him wherever because these babies fold. Don’t let him in on the secret that you own 1/6th of his entire gift.

9. Bellroy Hide & Seek Slim Leather Wallet

Your boyfriend might not know it (and hey, maybe he does and complains to you about it all the time), but he hates his thick wallet. For men, a wallet is the closest thing to a handbag, so we overfill it with cards we never use. We think you should get your boyfriend a Bellroy Hide & Seek Wallet. The great thing about a minimalist wallet is that it forces you to figure out what you use and need regularly. And even if he can’t give up his clunky bi-fold, a thin, minimalist wallet makes for a great party or going-out wallet.

10. Crocs Classic Clogs

Whether or not he has a pair of Crocs, he needs a new pair of Crocs. It’s just the way the cookie crumbles. He can have 40 pairs of Crocs, and there will never not be a reason to add another pair to his collection. That said, pick up a pair of Crocs for your boyfriend this Christmas. They’re easy; you already know he’ll like them, and there are a number of styles he still doesn’t have.

11. Oculus Quest 2

To be honest, we have no idea where the world is going regarding all this “Metaverse” stuff, but it’s safe to say that we’ve become way too intrigued over the past couple of weeks. If your man can’t stop talking about what the Metaverse might hold both now and in the future, pique his curiosity with the Oculus Quest 2. This device will allow him to get in on groundbreaking immersive entertainment he otherwise doesn’t have access to. Maybe it’ll even get him off of that PS5.

12. Harry’s The Truman Razor

He’s probably already using Harry’s, but on the off chance that he’s not, you need to pick him up the best razor on the planet: The Truman. We have tested The Truman time and time again and consistently have received the best shave we think we can experience as people. Each shave is comfortable, down-to-the-skin and clean. At just $9, it’s a huge steal, too.

14. Carhartt Cuffed Beanie

This is a simple no-brainer. It’s getting chilly outside, and there’s no way that’s slowing down any time soon. Keep your man’s noggin warm in style by snagging him the best-looking cuffed beanie on the planet, brought to you by Carhartt. We don’t know why we’re so obsessed with this beanie. Maybe it’s the warmth. Maybe it’s the rugged logo. Maybe it’s the endless color options. Who really knows? Regardless, this is an option very much worth considering.

15. Victrola 8-in-1 Bluetooth Record Player & Multimedia Center

Everybody loves music, and this old-timey Victrola 8-in-1 Bluetooth Record Player & Multimedia Center will handle your boyfriend’s music no matter its format. If he collects records, he’ll be good. If he has tapes or CDs, Victrola’s got him covered. And of course, if he has a Spotify or Apple Music subscription, the player has Bluetooth and solid speakers.

16. Honest Amish Beard Oil

Oh, come on. You love his beard. You can’t even lie. Help him maintain it better than ever with a strengthening, hydrating beard oil like this one from Honest Amish. It uses solely natural and organic ingredients to ensure every inch of that beard is treated the way it should be and is ideal for use on all skin types.

17. Fulton & Roark No. 13: Lost Man

Liquid cologne was so last year. This holiday season, pick up Fulton & Roark’s No. 13: Lost Man cologne in a solid format. Fulton & Roark creates the best solid cologne you can purchase and even one of the best colognes, period. This scent has an outdoorsy, wintery feel that blends effortlessly well into the upcoming season. Plus, this is something your boyfriend can travel with in his carry-on because it isn’t liquid.

18. Echo Show 8 (2021 Release)

We were shocked that the Echo Show 8 isn’t nearly as expensive as we would have expected. Gift your boyfriend this Alexa device, and you’re gifting him the ability to watch his favorite shows, follow along with cooking videos, watch YouTube videos, play music, see who’s at the front door (if he has a Ring), connect with family, help make the home a smart home and much, much more. This is the newest version of the device and is packed with HD smart display and a 13 MP camera that uses autoframing.

27. Bulleit Bourbon Whiskey

Unless he tells you he doesn’t enjoy whiskey, bourbon always makes a good gift, assuming you get the good stuff. Bulleit Bourbon is the good stuff. He can drink it straight, on the rocks or mix it to make a cocktail.

28. One Question a Day Five-Year Journal

Journaling can be soothing, but sometimes it can be hard to get the ball rolling. If your boyfriend is introspective, he might appreciate a guided journal like the “One Question a Day Five-Year Journal.” It gives you one question a day and repeats the question at the same time every year. The result is a time capsule of his thoughts, memories and experiences.

29. Northern Brewer Homebrewing Starter Set

You can’t go wrong with a homebrew kit for beer for the boyfriend who’s a doer and a drinker. The Northern Brewer Homebrewing Starter Set has everything your boyfriend needs to make 5 gallons or 50 12-ounce bottles worth of beer. We’ve brewed beer before, and it’s not easy, but it’s not hard either as long as you have a cool place out of the sunlight to store the beer while it ferments.

30. BeaverCraft Wood Carving Kit

Few things are more satisfying to many men than working with their hands by choice. If that sounds like your boyfriend, he might have a lot of fun with the BeaverCraft Wood Carving Kit. It comes with basic wood carving tools and some small blocks of wood so he can start carving as soon he opens the gift. If he likes it, you may have just gifted him a new hobby too.

31. Cresimo 24-Ounce Cocktail Shaker Bar Set

Speaking of mixing, every aspiring home bartender needs a good shaker bar set. If that’s your boyfriend, the Cresimo 24-Ounce Cocktail Shaker Bar Set will give him the basic tools — a shaker with a strainer, a jigger and a bar spoon — to make all but the most complicated cocktails.

33. Victorinox Swiss Army Evolution

Every man needs a decent folding pocket knife, including your boyfriend. It’s one of those things you don’t think you want or need, but as soon as you have one, you end up using it to open and cut everything. This swiss army knife from Victorinox lives up to its name, with many built-in features, including a bottle opener, scissors, a screwdriver and other tools in addition to the knife itself. It all folds up into a compact EDC item your boyfriend will love having on hand, and the sleek red design makes it a stylish tool as well.

34. Blowfish For Hangovers

There’s nothing worse than a bad hangover, and if he’s celebrating big his hangover is bound to be bad. Help him combat the Sunday Scaries with the first FDA-approved hangover cure ever. Just have him take two tablets in the morning and he will be feeling normal in no time. We can kiss hangovers goodbye in 2022!

35. Herschel Little America Laptop Backpack

Herschel is a great brand for men’s gifts, as their backpacks and duffels are stylish and functional at the same time. This backpack has a durable design with a striped liner, drawcord closure at the top and leather straps that attach via magnets. It’s got a 17-liter capacity so it can transport anything from books to clothes, laptops and more, and the padded shoulder straps make it comfortable to carry as well.

36. Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe

Picture every luxurious ad or setting you’ve ever seen. If there are people in it, they’re wearing bathrobes because a nice bathrobe is the epitome of comfort and relaxation. Your boyfriend will love lounging around the house on the weekend or after work in this top-rated Brooklinen bathrobe that’s a bestseller amongst SPY readers. It’s made of soft, plush Turkish cotton and features an oversized fit for spa-worthy comfort.

37. TUSHY Spa 3.0 Classic Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment

Something he will absolutely never purchase himself? A bidet. Something he absolutely needs to own himself? A bidet. The TUSHY Spa 3.0 is the newest, best bidet on the market. It’s inexpensive, easy to install and is wildly easy to use. He’ll feel and most importantly be cleaner in no time.

38. Apple AirPods Pro

Many people have wireless headphones now because of the convenience and easy listening they provide. If your boyfriend doesn’t already own a great pair of wireless headphones or has a pair that isn’t very good, you can upgrade his listening experience with the Apple AirPods Pro, some of the best in the business.

These are built with a Noise Cancellation and the infamous Transparency mode, that mixes in surrounding noise with what you’re listening to. The spatial audio includes dynamic head tracking so your sounds follow you as you move, and the adaptive EQ tunes the music to your individual ears.

39. Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker

For any dude who loves one piping hot cup a day, the Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker is perfect for him. This tiny coffee maker makes one cup at a time using K-cup pods. The device slides nicely onto his kitchen counter to ensure he isn’t taking up too much space if he doesn’t have a ton. If you find him making a whole pot every morning to simply waste it, this is exactly what he’s been needing.

40. SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless Gaming Headset

On the subject of great headphones, if your boyfriend is a serious gamer, he’ll definitely thank you for a high-quality wireless gaming headset like the SteelSeries Arctis 1. These headphones are comfortable to wear for an extended period of time, durable and feature high-performance speakers so he hears every detail of his video game.

You can buy them for Xbox or PS4 and PC, depending on your boyfriend’s preferred gaming system.

If you’ve just started dating and are looking to get to know each other better, pick up a deck of these cards.

42. Our Place Ovenware Set

We’ve been obsessed with the Our Place Always Pan for quite some time. So much so, that it’s infiltrated, like, 95% of our gift guides over the past few years. Now, we’re here to tell you about a new piece of kitchen equipment from Our Place. Meet the Ovenware Set. This gorgeous set comes in a range of colors to help your boyfriend add a little spice to his kitchen. It includes a main bake, side bake, loaf pan, oven pan and a silicone mat all for under $200.

43. The Complete “Calvin and Hobbes”

Your boyfriend doesn’t need to be a fan of comics to enjoy “Calvin and Hobbes”. Bill Watterson’s comic about a mischievous boy and his anthropomorphic tiger is clever, funny and just a timeless comic classic. You get the complete set in this package, so if he enjoys them he’ll never run out of new strips to read.

44. Iron & Grain Leather Co. Personalized Leather Valet Tray

Does your boyfriend always misplace his keys and wallet? If so, it’s probably because he doesn’t have a good place to put them. That’s what a leather valet tray can solve. Place it near the door and when he comes and goes he’ll know exactly where his essentials are. For the additional “I care” value, you can have Iron & Grain Leather Co. laser etch something personal into the tray. Whatever you choose to have etched, your boyfriend will think of you every time he empties the tray and sees the words you’ve left for him.

45. Baby Yoda Chia Pet

If your man doesn’t love Baby Yoda, he shouldn’t be your man. Snag him the Chia Pet of his lifetime featuring none other than our favorite little green man in the whole universe. Simply sprinkle the seeds, water and watch him become green in just a couple of days.

46. “The Rose That Grew From Concrete”

Give your boyfriend a new perspective on one of the best rappers of all time. Not every boyfriend likes poetry, but many men like Tupac Shakur. The rapper’s collected poetry, “The Rose That Grew From Concrete,” is as lyrical as his music and we’d bet this is one book of poetry your boyfriend will actually keep around, even if he doesn’t read it all the time.

47. Meridien Grooming The Maintenance Package

Slyly let him know it’s time for a bit of a haircut. Not on his head, but more in his downstairs region. The Meridien Grooming Maintenance Package will clear up his package and leave him looking fresh and clean. And, we’ve got a suggestion: gifting this right after No-Shave November means he’ll definitely need it.

48. Hbada Gaming Chair

Everyone is spending a lot of time at home these days and we don’t always take care of our bodies. Mainly, we don’t have good, comfortable chairs we can sit in for extended periods of time. If your boyfriend games a lot or just spends a lot of time working from home, the Hbada Gaming Chair will upgrade his quality of life immediately.

The chair is ergonomic with a removable headrest and lumbar support to help keep his back aligned. Also, for when he just needs to get away for a minute, this chair can recline to 155 degrees.

Seriously, does anything say “I care” more than a chair designed to guarantee your boyfriend’s comfort while he’s sitting all day?

49. LapGear Home Office Lap Desk

If your boyfriend loves to work from home, on the couch, then a lap desk is in order. This one makes for a great affordable gift and can fit up to 15.6 inch laptops and larger tablets as well. It’s got a cell phone slot for holding up a smart phone and has a trackpad for placing a mouse as well. It’s got ergonomic, dual-bolster cushions below that conform to your lap, keeping your comfortable, and the smooth, flat surface is made for proper laptop ventilation as well.
