Forget an “ugly” holiday sweater they’ll wear once a year and go for something subtly festive, like these foot-hugging socks from Bombas. They’re made from a plush wool blend, and two of the four pairs boast winter-inspired patterns. Plus, they come in a decorative box so you don’t have to struggle to wrap these softies.*

John is a huge fan of pullovers because of their versatility, and Peter Millar makes some of his favorites. The men in your life will love being able to layer this over just about anything, making it an essential piece for a casual dinner or long days spent on Zoom.

The easiness of sweatpants with the look of a tailored trouser is the ultimate combo. These joggers are made from a breathable, wrinkle-resistant material, so they function as both workout bottoms and everyday pants, depending on what life throws at him.

A solid sweater is a necessity in any wardrobe, and this one from L.L.Bean immediately caught our eye. It’s made from 100 percent merino wool, reviewers say it keeps them warm without causing them to overheat, and it can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

The outdoorsy type in your life is sure to appreciate a hiking boot upgrade, but these boots can be great for those who don’t spend hours traversing rugged terrain, too. Because of the grippy soles, these waterproof boots are also great for shoveling snowy driveways, taking on urban adventures, and nearly everything in between.

Give the gift of comfort with these suede and faux fur slippers. We’ve all had to struggle to pull on boot-like house slippers before, which is why we appreciate the step-in shape of these plush ones. They come in four colors (black, tan, gray, and beige), and have a sturdy non-slip sole so they can be worn inside and outside the house.*

Aches, pain, and stiffness are no match for this magical massager. It looks intimidating, but rest assured that it’s both easy to use and brings relief to anyone who struggles with sore or tight muscles. It uses percussive therapy to help release tension and increase blood flow in the treated area, all at the touch of a button.

Katie and John are huge fans of ultra-functional jackets, and they’re one of this year’s biggest fashion trends, too. It’s a wardrobe staple that never goes out of style and can be worn with jeans and a T-shirt, or dressed up with a button-down.

Desperately searching for a meaningful, but last-minute treasure for pop pop? This no-ship gift is a thoughtful way to easily preserve your family’s memories by creating recordings of your most cherished stories but does all the prompts and editing for you (and will even create keepsake vinyl to display in your home!).

Forget buying yet another pair of flannel pajamas for him this year and go for something cooler — literally and figuratively. Made from super-soft, silver-infused micro modal material, the pants and T-shirt in this set are sweat-wicking for hot sleepers and anti-stink, so he can wear them more than once without having to worry about funky odors. Plus, the tee in this set could easily be worn on its own, making this a versatile gift for any dude in your life.

Luggage is one of those items that you rarely buy for yourself, but is a treat to receive. Upgrade his travel game with our favorite carry-on suitcase from Quince. The hard shell will protect all of his belongings, and it’s expandable, in case he needs some extra room for souvenirs during his next getaway.

On makes some of John and Katie’s favorite sneakers for everything from daily walks to high-intensity workouts. This style is specifically made for everyday wear, so they lack the hyper-technical visuals of the average trainer, making them a little easier on the eyes. Don’t worry: They’re just as supportive as they are fashionable.

Base layers always make a good gift because they’re more expensive than the average shirt, but they’re absolutely necessary for things like skiing, hiking, or any cold weather activity. This one is made from 100 percent merino wool, which is naturally breathable, but will keep the wearer warm no matter what they’re up to outside.

Because men deserve cashmere, too. And if you’re going with cashmere, we recommend opting for a V-neck silhouette because it easily accommodates collared shirts for layering purposes, and won’t feel restrictive around his neck if he’s sensitive to that. (Men can be so fussy sometimes.) Reviewers say this particular sweater is super soft and breathable, but it’s not so thin that it looks flimsy or can’t be worn on its own.

From a young age, author Rick Reilly knew he was in love with golf. Over the years, as he continued to play, he uncovered wild tales about what makes the sport so addictive, including stories of bank robberies, psychedelic trips, and war. Any avid player in your life would love to receive this book, and chances are he’ll learn something new about the game before he tees off next time, too.

Have you ever smelled your leather watchband after a workout? We don’t recommend it. Avid Apple Watch wearers know that the bands can get dirty quickly, especially if you wear the wrong one for the wrong activity. This three-pack includes a stainless steel, a leather, and a silicone band that can swiftly be swapped out whenever he likes.

Buying a full-size cologne or perfume for someone else can be tricky, which is why we recommend starting small. This famous Creed scent is one of the best-selling colognes ever, and comes in both a full-sized and a smaller travel option, so he can test it out if he’s cautious. This romantic scent is mysterious yet approachable, with bursts of pink pepper and bergamot that mingle with deep cedarwood and musk. (We won’t blame you for stealing a couple spritzes after you gift it.)

Newsflash: Chelsea boots aren’t just for women. The simple and sleek boot style is unisex, and just as versatile in a man’s closet as it is in a woman’s. This leather shoe will elevate any outfit — no matter how schlubby you deem it — and they’re comfortable thanks to a padded insole and easy to put on to boot! They come in a few different textures and colors, for the pickier fellas.

You probably know Dyson best for its super-powered vacuums and hair tools, but the brand’s newest venture is headphones. The OnTrac headphones boast customizable ear cushions and metal caps that can be swapped with minimal effort, and offer impressive sound quality. They have above-par noise-cancelling abilities, allowing for a fully immersive listening experience no matter what he’s listening to. Plus, they can last up to 55 hours on a single charge, even with noise-canceling turned on.

Know a stylish man who also loves basketball? Kill two birds with one stone with this card case from Off-White, a brand renowned for its high-quality accessories with a streetwear edge. It offers a subtle nod to the sport he loves most without feeling childish or gaudy, and because it’s a card case and not a bi-fold wallet, it will feel lighter in his pocket without sacrificing function.

Who knew you could get sound this big from a speaker this small? Sonos is known for its excellent audio systems, and this one is no different. With its sleek design and rich sound, it enhances any space, whether your giftee is enjoying music, podcasts, or movies. Even better, he can connect this directly to his wifi while controlling it from his phone, but it will only stream his music and not play the Instagram Reels he’s scrolling through simultaneously.

Gone are the days of practicing your swing solely at the club. The PGA Tour Superstore rolled out a ton of golf simulator bundles, starting at $1,350, that will improve the game of both casual players and pros. Not only will they be able to work on their stack and tilt method, but the simulator connects to the MySwingCaddie App that tracks their carry distance, launch direction, swing speed, ball speed, smash factor, launch angle, apex, and spin rate. And that’s just at the base level. You can upgrade to even bigger and better features. The only downside is that your giftee may just become even more obsessed with the sport.

A classic peacoat belongs in almost any man’s closet, so if your guy is missing one, consider this a prime opportunity to round out his wardrobe. It rings in under $150, but has a modern fit that’s sure to please, and comes in an inclusive size range from small to 4XT. We love this honeyed camel hue, but it also comes in black, navy, and gray, if they prefer darker tones. (Very Johnny Cash.)

He’ll be stylish and sustainable in this shirt made of fabric spun from 15 recycled plastic bottles. Reviewers say it’s exceptionally soft and looks great worn buttoned up, open over a T-shirt, tucked in, untucked — basically there’s no wrong way to style it.
