The Best Gifts for Husbands (or Long-Term Partners) Will Knock It Out of the Park

Whether he’s big on the great outdoors, or more of the “BBQ’ing on the porch” type, there’s nothing better than an ice-cold growler filled with his favorite booze. This one’s made from dishwasher-safe stainless steel and a spill-proof lid to keep the good times rolling (but not leaking out all over his stuff).

If he’s into tracking his health stats but wants something stealthier than a Fitbit, the Oura packs arguably more tracking technology (we’re talking 20 different kinds of biometrics) into one minimalistic ring. It connects with 40 different health apps like Apple Health or Strava, plus is HSA/FSA-eligible if you’ve got some funds to use up before the year is through.

TikTokers may have their Stanley Cup, but this breakout bottle of the year has double-walled insulation to keep drinks cold, with a fun, bird beak-like top that allows for either tilting back, or sipping from an upright position (which is really addictive for some odd reason).

Who doesn’t love a Big ‘ol Bag? This roomy, mountain climbing-inspired joint is made from tough recycled nylon, includes a waterproof lining and zip top to keep his stuff dry, all while looking cool and colorblocked as hell.

How do you transform recycled nylon fishing nets into into one sick anorak? No idea—we leave that up to the pros at Patagonia, who have streamlined a packable, fast drying, 40+ UPF sun protection number that gets our seal of approval.

Unlike typical tracksuits and joggers, Tracksmith’s svelte running gear is downright sexy, like this jacket with a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette that’s also warm enough to insulate him from the ghastly wind chill.

There aren’t many famous duffel bags, but The North Face’s popular carry-on definitely qualifies for icon status.

He can use it for his next camping trip, then dust it off and bring it to the airport for your next destination wedding.

This is the Rolls Royce of wheeled coolers.

Body grooming is an art and this multipurpose tool will be his chisel. It’s got two sides for above- or below-the-belt shaving, can be used wet or dry, and doesn’t have an embarassing balls-related name, either.

For the casual baker who wants to get serious, a decked-out set of nonstick bakeware from All-Clad will help him produce many permutations of loafs and tarts (as you treat yourself to the spoils).

At nearly 4,000 pieces, this build is wildly complex, challenging, and a whole lot of fun. Is it a lot of money for a LEGO set? Sure. But remember, the cost of a real McLaren P1 is over $1,000,000, so in that sense, you’ll be scratching that mid-life crisis itch for a lot less dinero.

The entry-level, dummyproof espresso maker that will make even the biggest coffee novices feel like budding baristas. It’s got the automated programming, sleek design, and small footprint to make it a solid investment for any husband who’s upgrading from pods to pulling shots.

Pratically perfect for this in-between weather, this shirt jacket in delicate sage is one way to introduce him to his sensitive side.

Time to overhaul his drawer of hole-y undershirts and tees? Abercrombie has had this category covered for years, and now they’ve lined up the ideal starter pack. One tee for every day of the week, in a relaxed fit and a soothingly muted color palette, and all for $100.

It’s got a built-in gimbal for smoothly cinematic camera movements and can easily flip between a vertical and horizontal orientation when he wants the full panoramic effect.

For your hubby who’s added a new entry to his resume—DJ—do the right thing and make sure he’s got the right equipment to chop and screw like a professional. There are a ton of options and specs to consider, but we’ve saved you the Reddit deep dive and furnished this rec for you that’s a very solid beginner controller at a reasonable price.

This point-and-shoot film camera will please even the biggest Flickr-heads and fill his nostalgia meter.

It also simplifies the act of shooting film with its fixed-focus lens so he can get to capturing memories without worrying about his ISO.

For fussy sleepers, this temperature-regulating “pod” cover might just save your marriage.

“Anti-ball crushing” is a phrase no one should have to think about in relation to their husband, but we’re sure he’d come around to Lululemon’s wildly popular ABC line. Why not get him their latest in the collection, with a sharp, tapered leg and a super comfy fabric?

As it turns out, he doesn’t need to look like a goofball every Sunday in a huge polyester jersey! Grab one of these so he can rep his team, while you enjoy the handsomely oversized-yet-cropped fit and charming, vintage-inspired lettering.

Sometimes a gift just needs to make him smile, ya know? The kooky folks at New York design shop Coming Soon now carry this cheeky chrome ashtray designed in homage to the chairs of influential artist and designer, Pedro Friedeberg.
