The 35 best gifts for men in 2025 (even the guys who already have everything)


Shopping for the men in your life — your husband, dad, father-in-law, grandpa or brother – can be tough. So many of these guys have everything they could ever want; the rest claim they don’t need anything. Not to mention that they often engage in super-specific hobbies that are frankly out of our wheelhouse. That said, if you find yourself stuck while shopping for your anniversary or his birthday, you’re not alone. In fact, that’s where I step in with this list of the best gifts for men.

As Yahoo’s gifting expert, it’s literally my job to track down the perfect gifts for the people you love most. I’ve been covering gifting for over five years, so you can rest assured that you’re going to get suggestions that are anything but ordinary.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all gift for guys. That’s why I’ve included a mix of unique gift ideas for you to choose from. From useful gadgets that’ll make reading (and, well, his life) easier to stylish finds from guy-approved brands like Cole Haan and Everlane, you’re bound to find just the thing for the special guy in your life. Shop straight from this list of gifts for men — and bookmark it, so you’re ready for the next gift-worthy occasion.
