Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Boyfriends

Give him the gift of looking and feeling cool with this awesome zip canvas jacket from Schaefer Outfitter. It’s not about the bells and whistles, it’s just an honest, comfortable, really good-looking jacket.

Ultimate Ears Everboom
Bring the party to him with an awesome Bluetooth speaker like the Everboom from Ultimate Ears. It’s way more than just a sharp-looking gadget; it’s also capable of floating (if you have access to a pool) and pairing with up to 150 other speakers (if you have access to a whole lot of friends). It can also turn your smartphone’s microphone into a megaphone, which is a neat trick.

Ekster Grid Backpack
Is your boyfriend outgrowing his backpacks, but isn’t quite ready to make the jump to briefcases just yet? Wallet brand Ekster has jumped into the backpack space with their new Grid model, and it’s sort of a perfect midway point between the two — the functionality of a backpack with the grown-up chic quality of a briefcase. Besides being comfortable and stocked with a good number of zipped pockets, the structured construction of the Grid will help him look seriously sharp.

Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon
Whatever age your boyfriend is, the urge to build stuff never really goes away for many guys, and a beautiful Lego Star Wars set like this one of the franchise’s most iconic ships is a crossover that many a kid dreams of seeing as they pull away the wrapping paper on a gift. Just prepare yourself to hear “pew-pew” noises and “Great, kid! Don’t get cocky” coming from the construction area.

Joycoast Dark Sandalwood Chronograph Wooden Watch
Wood? For a watch? Yep, you read that right. Crafted from dark sandalwood with Japanese quartz and an easy open stainless steel fold buckle, this masculine timepiece is one we will vouch for. And whoever said you needed to empty your bank account to get a good watch... well, they were wrong.

Dangbei Atom Smart Projector
People with gamers and film nerd boyfriends, gather around — sure, you could get him a giant-screen TV, or you could recognize that what your boyfriend wants is a big picture, not necessarily a big screen.

Get ready to watch some of his favorites with him blown up to the size of his whole wall.

Parfums de Marly Althaïr Eau de Parfum
We gave the Althaïr the honor of Best Date-Night Scent in the 2023 AskMen Dating Awards, but why should single guys have all the fun? If you like your boyfriend to smell good — like orange, cinnamon, vanilla and pralines, among others — you should give him this scent, which gives off a delectable fireside glow in a Christmas-y way. And then shower him with kisses whenever he wears it.

Dollar Shave Club Double Header Trimmer
Nothing makes a man look badass like a well-crafted beard. But, you know, emphasis on the “well-crafted” part — which many guys forget. Enter Dollar Shave Club’s new Double Header trimmer, conceived to help him look sharp every day, both face-wise and elsewhere-wise (yes, it doubles as a manscaping tool). It’s cordless, waterproof, and features a built-in LED light so he can see what he’s doing at all times.

Iron Man Water Bottle Sport Canteen 20oz
Staying hydrated is important. Owning an Iron Man-themed canteen is slightly less important, but it might be a tad more exciting.

A Subscription to F45 Training
Gifting someone workout classes might sound like you’re implying something, but the fitness fanatic would be very grateful to be welcomed into a family of new people to sweat with. F45 (F stands for functional training, 45 being the length of class) blends circuit and HIIT workouts that vary depending on the day. While “each studio is individually owned and pricing changes slightly across locations,” every member has access to the F45 Challenge, including the app, workout and trainers as part of their multi-week transformative journey.

AllCitizens Elite Air II
If underwear is the first thing he puts on in the morning, it’s sort of the foundation of his clothing, isn’t it? A good pair of underwear — one that makes you feel good about yourself and your body — is an underrated yet crucial part of having a good day, and AllCitizens’ new boxer briefs might be just the thing. They’re comfortable, stylish and feel super-high tech. You’ll love seeing him in them.

Southern Scholar Socks
Sure, socks aren’t the sexiest gift of all time — but damn if they’re not practical. If you’re searching for an accent gift to flesh out his overall present haul, you could do a lot worse than gifting him with his new favorite pair. These are surprisingly comfortable for dress socks — or are they surprisingly dressy for comfy socks? Either way, they rock.

Flint & Tinder 10-Year Hoodie
It’s no secret that people love stealing their boyfriends’ sweaters. Well, get ready to fight over this one, because you’ll both want to wear Flint & Tinder’s 10-Year Hoodie.

Vincero Bead Bracelet
For the more minimalist jewelry lover, a clean and simple bracelet will never let you down.

And with a strong, stainless steel lobster claw clasp, even the clumsiest of men won’t have to worry about it slipping off during the work day.

Tumbler Diamond Rolling Knife Sharpener
Is there anything hotter than a guy who can cook? Well, it depends on your taste, but we think it’s a definite crowd-pleaser, and one way to be a good chef is to have a good set of knives. Whatever the quality of his cutting implements, though, Tumbler’s rolling knife sharpener kit will give him a fun exercise for keeping his knives in tip-top shape, and will ensure they’re never dull. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about his conversations, though.

Glerups Boot With Leather Sole
Want to ensure your boyfriend never gets cold feet? A pair of Glerups slippers might be just the thing. Made from felt, they’re beyond comfortable, incredibly durable and sharp-looking too (which is ironic, given how soft they are). The one drawback? If his feet aren’t the same size as yours, you won’t have much luck stealing them. Maybe get a matching set, just to be safe.
$130.00 at Glerups.com
Victrola Eastwood II Record Player
Music is the food of love — Shakespeare said that. And while you may not love his music tastes, he will love you for getting him this gorgeous and minimalist record player.

It’s a perfect gift for someone who’s just getting into vinyl.

Duer NuStretch Jogger
What’s worse than a boyfriend with old and ugly pants? A boyfriend with old and ugly pants that take him a long time to take off, thereby delaying bedroom fun times. Solve all of these problems at once with a pair of Duer’s NuStretch joggers, which are new, sleek looking, and quite easy to take on and off. They’ve got all the look of a professional work pant, but all the feel of a very casual jogger — true best-of-both-worlds scenario.

Boox Go Color 7

Walden Pilot Sunglasses
Lots of guys fail to take care of their eyesight.

Nikon Z30 Mirrorless Camera
You know that saying, “Take a picture, it’ll last longer”? It’s usually said in a snarky way, but there’s truth to it, and if your boyfriend’s got the photographer itch but thinks he could do more with a real camera than just the little thing built into his smartphone, it might be time to get him the Nikon Z30.

Cannondale Quick 3 Bike
Does he love to bike around but he’s still using a rusted old beater to get places? Make his whole year with a spiffy new bike, like Cannondale’s elegantly simple Quick 3, designed for urban biking rather than spandex mania or mountain exploits. It’s not cheap for a Christmas gift, but for new bicycle from a trusted brand, this is a steal.
$700 at Cannondale.com
Sennheiser Momentum 4 Headphones
If your boyfriend’s always driving you crazy by playing his music — or his games, or his TV, or his podcasts, or anything — way too loud, a sweet pair of headphones might be the gift that makes both of you happy.

Maker's 46 Bourbon Whisky
Not all guys like whiskey, but the ones who do? They’ll probably like Maker’s 46. It’s a sort of fancier version of the already quite popular Maker’s Mark — nice enough to drink straight and to save for special occasions, but not so nice that it’ll break the bank.
