64 Genuinely Thoughtful Holiday Gift Ideas for Men
Works of Art for the Collector
The gentleman who has a keen eye for art and design will appreciate having one of these expertly made pieces to place on a shelf or hang on a wall. Follow Fernandez’s suggestions like a print of a Basquiat work or an architectural trinket by Zaha Hadid for an easy way to win the gift-giving season.
High-Tech Pleasures for the Gadget Obsessed
Turn his home into a futuristic dwelling with smart devices that will both make his life easier and spruce up his space. Native Union’s wireless charger will help him leave the cords in the past, while Audio Technica’s turntable provides a chic way to keep those old records in rotation with the added bonus of digital conversion of his tunes.
Staples for the Timeless Gentleman
“Timeless pieces always make a fantastic gift—something that will seamlessly weave into any existing wardrobe,” says contributing menswear editor Justin Fernandez. “Whether it’s a wool sweater like this Howlin crewneck or a staple cashmere scarf like the cream Commissions wrap, closet essentials make an exceptional gift and are accessible for every man.”
Sleek Activewear for the Athletes
These athletic gifts are a sure-fire win regardless of the sport. “Just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean the athletic guy in your life is staying indoors,” Fernandez says. Keep the rounds of tennis going with a new Wilson racquet, or ensure his next hike is successful with Moncler’s Glacier boots.
Dreamy-Worthy Treasures for the Homebody
WFH blues? We’ve got just the fix. “Light up this Cire Trudon candle around the home,” Fernandez says. “Candles do extraordinary wonders on lifting spirits.” So, too, does a well-tailored Brooklinen robe and a buttery-soft A.P.C. quilt.
Practical Finds for the Jetset Traveler
Island escapes and countryside getaways are slowly making a return. Ensure all of his upcoming travels are a breeze with functional gifts like a Prada water bottle or Rag & Bone duffle.
Tiny Treats for the Loving Pet Dads
Whether he has a newborn puppy or a racehorse, he’s sure to appreciate a gift that makes time with his furry friends even more fun. “At the end of the day, I always enjoy gifts that have a purpose, and I will actually use,” explains Fernandez. Imagine him walking Fido with a Prada collar around his neck or saddling up on this beautiful green saddle.
Affordable Gifts for a Big Impact
As Fernandez says: “Sometimes it’s the little things in life. Just because it’s more expensive, doesn’t mean that it’s better. These affordable gifts speak volumes.”
