The Best Jacket You Can Buy
Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
Even if he’s not into The Last of Us, he will very much be into this jacket that Pedro Pascal wears in the show.
Flint and Tinder’s waxed trucker is about as good a fall jacket as you’ll find. It’s a timeless look with a tough build, and it’s made in the U.S.A. The flannel lining gives it some warmth without going over the top. It’s a perfect mid-weight piece.
For the Coffee Lover
YETI 34 oz French Press
I love a French press. It’s probably my most used form of at-home coffee making. What I don’t love is the fact that there’s usually no way to keep French-press coffee warm.
Yeti has, of course, entered the game and fixed that. I can make a press and babysit my two or three cups of coffee throughout the day without it going to room temperature. Sure, at $110 this is more expensive than most, and it looks more outdoorsy. But if he wants the best, this is it.
For the At-Home Barista
De’Longhi Dedica Espresso Machine
Alternatively, if he prefers espresso, De’Longhi’s new apartment-sized machine is one of this year’s best releases.

The Best Last-Minute Gift You’ll Find
MasterClass Gift Subscription
If he’s interested in pretty much anything, he’ll find a MasterClass course to deepen his knowledge of it.
For the Fitness Enthusiast
Beats Powerbeats Pro
These are the best workout headphones on the market. They fit securely. The sound is big and full of bass. And they’re plenty resistant to sweat. This is a great gift if he spends time in the gym or running outside.
Best Bluetooth Speaker to Gift
Teenage Engineering OB–4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
One of the coolest-looking and best-sounding speakers you can buy. Should be a pretty good gift for any guy who likes music, sometimes plays music, or has friends to listen to music with.

Best Starter Soundbar
Sonos Ray Compact Soundbar
He likes movies but lives in a small apartment. Plus, you don’t have the disposable income to shell out for the big-dog Sonos Arc. This Sonos Ray is the perfect compromise. You get crisper dialogue, and deeper bass, and although it doesn’t have Dolby Atmos, the proprietary Sonos Trueplay tuning is a solid alternative.
Our Favorite Headphones of 2024
Dyson OnTrac Over Ear Headphones
Dyson made new headphones, and they’re incredible. They’re more comfortable and better looking than anything else on the market, and I’d put the sound performance up against any other headphones.
If he’s not already an AirPods Max guy, I suggest you buy him these.
Best House Slipper
Ugg Tasman LTHR Regen
Yes, you can buy Ugg Tasman slippers on Amazon. But you cannot buy these leather Ugg Tasman slippers on Amazon, and they feel a lot more luxurious. The sheepskin suede outer is swapped out for a proper grain leather, resulting in a slipper that feels more put together and ready for a snowy trudge to grab the garbage can.
Oh, and Ugg offers the exact same free shipping and free returns as Amazon. There’s no reason not to upgrade him.

Best Bath Gift for Your Boyfriend
Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe
A robe? Yes, hear me out. Men don’t wear robes anymore, and that is a crime. I’ve started wearing one around the house, and it changed my life.
You feel put together, but you’re lounging. He will be, ahem, free to feel the breeze but not an aggressive eyesore to his significant other (you) or his roommates.
Best Everyday Style Gift
Hanes Beefy T, 2-Pack
Every man is on a search for the perfect white T-shirt. I believe the Hanes Beefy T is that shirt. And they’re so cheap you could redo his whole drawer.
For His Important Document Signing

For the Casual Hooper
Nike Ja 1
Got a hooper on your hands? A man who spends his Saturdays at the park or YMCA? He’s either in need of new shoes or getting pretty close to needing them. For the price, there aren’t many sneaks better than the Ja 1.
For the Man Who Loves a Drink
Ralph Lauren Home Garrett Cocktail Shaker
If he’s an at-home-mixology guy, get him some nice barware. For my money, Ralph Lauren Home makes the nicest.
For the Golfer
Mark & Graham Personalized Golf Ball Gift Set
There’s not a better golf gift out there, if you ask me. Everytime he takes off for an afternoon—maybe a weekend—golfing with the boys, he’s reminded that you, his beloved SO, are the best gift giver on the planet.

Best Jewelry Piece to Gift
Brilliant Earth Homme Engravable Cuff Bracelet
A silver cuff is a perfect training-wheel way to get a man into wearing jewelry. It’s timeless and masculine, and it can be engraved with whatever you wish to make him feel special.
That said, it works equally as well for the guy who’s already got his own jewelry box. It’s a great option to mix and match with.
Best Ring to Gift Him
Kendra Scott Hudson Signet Ring
A squared-off signet ring is another piece of jewelry that’ll work for any man.
Best Retro Gamer Gift
Sony PlayStation Classic Console
Throw it back to 1994—his best gaming year—with the PlayStation Classic console. It comes with classic titles like Grand Theft Auto and Resident Evil.
