Need a gift for the guy in your life? Here are a few of the BEST tried, true, and trending gifts for men.
I love sharing gift guides every year, hopefully to make your life a little easier during this crazy busy time.
In the past, we’ve shared dozens of gift ideas for each person in your life, and that can feel overwhelming. So this year, my team and I have come up with a list of tried and true gift ideas (we’ve gifted them and they were a hit), or gifts that are trending for this year. You don’t want to miss these ideas!
If you want even more ideas, I still have a TON of great ideas available HERE.
Tried and True Gifts for Men
These are the tried and true gifts that we’ve given to the men in our lives and they were an absolute WIN.
- Mixbook Family Photo book. My husband loves sentimental gifts, and this photobook is his favorite gift to receive every year! I’ve tried basically every photobook program out there, and Mixbook is the best quality for the best price. I gather up all the photos from our previous year (not the current year, so this year I’ll do 2023), and create a beautiful book full of pictures of our trips and our everyday lives. These books are a treasure for our family! I have a whole post HERE about how I make these photobooks very easily.
- Sexy advent calendar – This kind of advent calendar has always been my number one seller. I’ve shared multiple versions over the last few years and finally teamed up with Coconu (who makes the best lubricant) to make my own! It can be used as an advent calendar, or a monthly subscription box. So you can save it for Christmas or an anniversary or anything! Code SEXYFUN gets you 30% off the 12 Months of Sexy Fun, but you can use code MERRICK for 15% off any other product! You can buy the BUNDLE HERE.
- Ryobi Tools – My family has used this brand for years and it’s so perfect for any project! They’re light to carry around and it’s so nice to have just one type of battery that charges everything! We have most of the tools now, but for a few years adding to the collection was the perfect gift!
- Yeti Tall 12oz Can Holder – I’ve posted about this yeti drink holder before, but my husband still adamantly declares that everyone who drinks energy drinks in a tall 12 ounce can needs one of these. He can put a cold can in his yeti in the morning and sip a cold, tasty, energizing drink all day.
- Microwave Popcorn Popper – My husband used to make microwave popcorn every. single. night. I didn’t like all the nasty ingredients in the prebagged options, so I got him this, and it’s hands down the most used gift I’ve ever purchased for him. We pair it with the Chosen Foods Avocado oil spray and Just Ingredients popcorn salts.
- Lux Bidet – I have talked about a Bidet before, but this is a game changer. My husband loves this but when my team asked their husbands, it was resounding YES to this gift! Your husband will thank you!
- Melin Hat – My husband is a BIG hat guy. Loves hats and wears them everyday! This is his all time favorite hat. I’m actually re-purchasing a second for him this year because he has worn his first soooo much. It is weatherproof, sweatproof, easy to clean and stays new looking for years. Golfer approved and an all around win!
- American Giant Hoodie – I gifted this to Philip a few years ago, and he still wears it all the time and it’s held up great. If you’re guy is looking to update his wardrobe with key pieces, this is the place to do it! Use code MERRICK for 20% off for new customers!
Trending Gifts for Men
These are some fantastic gift ideas that are trending this year that are sure to be a hit for your dad, brother, husband, boyfriend, or grandpa!
- Lululemon Joggers – Every guy needs a pair of casual pants, especially during the colder months! These are my husband’s favorites and they’re available in a ton of colors. They don’t sag or stretch out, and they’re a great, sturdy athletic material.
- New Balance Sneakers – Both my brother and dad have these shoes and wear them all the time! They say they’re super comfortable and they go with so many outfits.
- Mission Belt Men’s Leather Ratchet Belt – We were in Utah recently, doing some shopping with our son who is getting ready to leave on a 2 year mission. One of the stores had these belts and my husband and my adult son were OBSESSED! These belts are designed with a ratcheting system that adjusts every 1/4 inch instead of every inch that a typical belt with holes adjusts. And you can easily mix and match buckles with different belts. They were blown away!
- Abercrombie NFL Gear – This is THE gift this year, trust me. Grab team gear for your husband, brothers, boyfriend, sons – literally any NFL fan would love this cool trendy gear.
- Blackstone Grill – We put a pool in this summer and have enjoyed being outside. This has made cooking outside so fun. You can make so many things on this grill. It brings your kitchen outside and we are loving it!
- Oura Ring – My husband has been wanting this for some time and it’s finally on sale! We’re hoping to get a deeper knowledge of our health in 2025 and I feel like this will be such a great start at that for him.
