I Loathe Cliché Gifts for Men—Here Are 36 That Are Actually Chic
Stumped on what to buy the men in your life for the holidays? Whether it's for a partner, friend, colleague, sibling, cousin, parent, son, etc., there's always pressure to impress during this time of year or, at the very least, not buy something they'll hate or never use. And even as somewhat of an expert shopper and gift giver, I know how hard it can be to get it right, which is why I did all the heavy lifting for you.
I recently scoured every corner of the internet from high to low to bring you the ultimate curation of 36 gifts guys are guaranteed to love. From golf gear to fancy coffee spoons to the perfect versions of the old reliable sweaters and beanies, no matter your giftee or budget, I've got you covered. To see and shop my edit, simply keep scrolling—and best of luck!
Add the matching sweatpants, and they have their next chill/travel/weekend/everything outfit.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
