By Lori Keong, Tyler Chin , and Timothy Beck Werth
![73 Best Gifts for Men in 2023 That Will Spoil Them Rotten](https://media.gq.com/photos/6579d4a1760de2c252775b7f/16:9/w_320%2Cc_limit/gifts-for-men.jpg)
"The best gifts for men"—a thing you Google, a thing you ponder, a thing you think so damn hard about you forget why you wanted to give the man, or perhaps the men, those gifts in the first place. Not this year. This year you resolve to Google with intention (coming straight to GQ). You will meditate on, but not overthink, which of our thoughtful gift ideas will most suit this man (who surely deserves to be spoiled just a little bit because don't we all, don't we all).
And you will feel so incredible when you give this gift—not like those other years with the Sad Socks or the Whiskey Stones—that you will remember what gift giving is supposed to feel like. From you, a king of good taste, to him, your absolute favorite. And if you're looking for more holiday gift ideas for men, you can check out any number of our Best Stuff guides—like for beard trimmers, headphones, or pajamas—or shop award-winning picks like those found in our annual Fitness Awards and Grooming Awards. Now, without further ado, here are some of the very best gifts for men, no matter what the time or occasion.

The North Face
ThermoBall Traction Water Resistant Slipper
For the Guy Whose Apartment is an Icebox in Winter: Padding around on the cold hardwoods or tile floors is infinitely cozier with some insulation afoot. North Face's puffy Thermoball slippers also feature a high-traction outsole to get you from the door to the mailbox without slipping on the icy sidewalk en route.
- 2/73
Kiehl's
Fresh Start Men's Essentials Gift Set
For Skincare Novices: This gift set of Kiehl's best-sellers contains a trio of its greatest hits (from a minty fresh face wash to a body bar to an energizing body wash) that will either help him understand the beauty of skincare as self-care, or top up his supplies.
- 3/73
Atlas Coffee
Coffee Subscription
For the Constantly Overcaffeinated: Help them take a culinary tour of the world with this GQ editor-beloved subscription box for coffee enthusiasts. It will ship them the finest single origin roasts from around the world (including spots like Hawaii, Jamaica, Yemen, and Guatemala), along with desktop-worthy postcards that tell you more about each coffee's place of origin. Look out for unique tasting notes of strawberry, graham cracker, lemonade, almond butter, and beyond in each bag.
- 4/73
Apple
Airtag
For the Guy Who Doesn't Trust the TSA (or Himself): If he's got an iPhone and anything he doesn't want to lose—his keys, his work bag, his checked luggage, his dog—then an AirTag is his ticket to peace of mind. Apple's tracker uses the entire iPhone-owning world to keep tabs on where it is at all times, so whatever he attaches it to would probably need to be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to be truly lost.
- 5/73
Aeropress
XL Coffee Press
For the Guy That Keeps It Simple: You don't need a $500 grinder or obscure barista tools to make a coffee snob-approved cup of coffee. This wildly easy to use contraption makes the perfect cup of coffee every time with an immersion-style chamber that uses air pressure to force water through the grounds. This version's also supersized so he can make a bigger vat all at once.
- 6/73
Lululemon
ABC Pull-On Pant
For the Guy You're Stumped On: Every guy and gal's favorite athleisure brand stocks a well-rounded selection of comfy pants, but the ABC (look up what that stands for—we dare you) might be its most popular silhouette for men. This pair features a stretchy waist and no buttons or zippers, but makes your favorite guy look put together even if he's really not.
- 7/73
Todd Snyder
Alpaca Cardigan
For the Cozy King: This sharp cardigan made from a blend of merino wool and alpaca will do more than make him look like a huggable teddy bear. It'll work as nicely on the weekend with a white tee and jeans as it will a button-down shirt and trousers come Monday.
- 8/73
Our Place
Cast Iron Perfect Pot
For the Guy Who Isn't Sold on Le Creuset: Heritage schmeritage. This do-it-all cast iron crockpot comes with its own grips for taking out of the oven, and looks like a dream on your stovetop.
- 9/73
Nike
ACG Moc Shoes
For the Guy With a “Comfort is King” Mantra: From the campsite to the kitchen, the perfect indoor-outdoor shoe has the traction and cushion to keep him happy for years to come. Plus, with a silhouette he can easily slip into while he's scurrying to answer the door or pick up his Postmates, it's a no-brainer for a do-it-all shoe.
- 10/73
Viski
Rocket Cocktail Shaker
For the Guy Who Loves Manhattans: This shaker won't necessarily make his favorite homemade cocktails taste any better. But it will absolutely make his home bar look cooler in the rare moments when he's not asking the room if anyone wants a drink.
- 11/73
Ten Thousand
Versatile Shirt
For the Man Who Likes His Clothes to Do More: No matter how many t-shirts he owns, he's always on the hunt for a better one. Ten Thousand's version lives up to its name with a host of gym-ready specs—sweat-wicking fabric, chafe-free seams, odor-busting silver ion treatment—in an everyday-wearable design that doesn't scream “Chest Day.”
- 12/73
Arlo Skye
x Dusen Dusen Dopp Kit
For the Guy Who Travels in Style: Every guy needs a bag for keeping his toiletries and grooming gear in place when he's on the road. But there's an awful lot of boring Dopp kits out there. Arlo Skye teamed up with the technicolor enthusiasts at Dusen Dusen on a fun version that brings cheerful vibes and the right specs: a waterproof fabric with sealed zippers, easy-access duffel-style opening, and an anti-microbial lining.
- 13/73
Flaviar
Whiskey Subscription Box
For the Whiskey Obsessive: If he tends to wax poetic about the brown stuff, he'll get fired up when a box arrives at the door with his name on it and a few bottles of small-batch, world-reknowned whiskeys—the kind you won't find at the local liquor shop—tucked inside. A single Flaviar box costs $100, delivery included, but if you bless him with a year's subscription, each box only costs $80 (for $320 total). Not a bad price for a year's worth of drinking well.
- 14/73
Andrew Stewart
Cashmere Ribbed Beanie
For the Guy Who Always Runs Cold: Swaddle his head in some cashmere, and he'll have you to thank every time the temperatures dip.
- 15/73
Gucci
Horsesbit Loafers
For the Guy With Expensive Taste: If you're going to get him any pair of loafers, Gucci's horsebits remain an iconic iteration, spanning all ages and sartorial styles, eternally elegant but undeniably confident, forever and ever, amen. It’s the kind of luxury gift he’ll be talking about for years to come.
- 16/73
RRL
Ranch Logo Bandana
For the Old-Fashioned Kind of Guy: Bandanas are the single-most underrated men's fashion accessory. Go back to the western roots of the garment with RRL's Japanese-made cotton bandana.
- 17/73
Leatherman
Bond Multi-Tool
For the Guy Who's Prepared for Anything: There's little you can't do with the Leatherman Bond, what with the 13 tools—from pliers and a knife to a Phillips screwddriver and wine-bottle opener—built into its relatively svelte frame. Well, 14 tools, if you count the fact that he'll inevitably use it to hammer something back into place.
- 18/73
Bombas
Cozy Sock Gift Box Kit
For the Guy Who's Got Sweaty Feet: It's not so much what comes in Bombas' gift box—three handsome pairs of socks in very wearable colors—so much as what's in the socks themselves. They're made from a high-quality blend of merino wool, cashmere, nylon and polyester—which means they're toasty but sweat-wicking, soft but won't slouch, and anti-microbial without being tech-y. In other words, they're the socks his feet have been dreaming of.
- 19/73
Google
Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock
For the Smart Home Aficionado: This isn't just a tablet—it's a digital picture frame, smart home hub, and room-filling smart speaker. And if your guy already has prodcuts from Google Nest, then this splurge gift will put his entire smart home in the palm of his hand.
- 20/73
Madewell
Checkerboard Sweater
For the Guy Who Likes Subtlety: Hope your boy's ready, because Madewell's sweater is a compliment magnet. The soft knit (made from a blend of wool, cotton, and nylon) in an equally soft shade of mauve is easier to wear than true pink, while the checkerboard texture elevates the whole operation to "ooh, nice sweater" status.
- 21/73
Bowflex
SelectTech 840 Kettlebell
For the Guy Who Works Out at Home: As the extended saying goes, New year, new gear, new you. This is technically one kettlebell, but it's functionally six in one, since he'll be able to twist the dial on top and adjust the weight in increments, from 8 pounds up to 40. Which means it'll grow with him—or, more specifically, with his muscles.
- 22/73
Sonic Editions
1977 Monaco Grand Prix Framed Print
For the Guy Who Has a Favorite F1 Team: Do you know a guy whose Sunday mornings are empty now that the Formula 1 season is over? This classic limited-edition print will carry him through to opening day in 2024.
- 23/73
GQ
Winter 2023 Best Stuff Box
For the Guy With Discerning Taste: The GQ Box delivers at least $200-worth of style upgrades, home goods, A-tier grooming products, and more—in, yes, a literal box—to the subscriber's door every 3 months. And it costs much less than what's inside. Get the Box for any guy who deserves something nice, but won't get it for himself.
- 24/73
Microsoft
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, 3 Months
For the Guy Who Has an Xbox: He either already has Game Pass—Microsoft's all-you-can-play buffet subscription program that let's him grab new games whenever he wants—or doesn't know what he's missing. Depending on the situation this 3-month Game Pass membership will extend his subscription (at a cheaper-than-usual price) or get him started. Apologies if you don't see him as much, though.
- 25/73
Anker
Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger with Stand
For the Guy Who's Always at a 1% Battery Life When You Call: A perennially useful gift isn't a bad idea, and won't be at the top of the list to get recirculated at the next White Elephant party. This one will also prop up his phone for seamless video chatting, and give him a better selfie angle.
- 26/73
J.Crew
Leather Gloves
For the Guy Who's Never Prepared for The Weather: Don't let him be caught off guard by the forecast this year. With these luxe, wool-lined gloves he can keep his digits warm without throwing off the fit. Just don't expect him to text you back with them on.
- 27/73
Outdoor Voices
CloudKnit Relaxed Sweatpants
For the Guy Whose WFH Uniform is 50% Sweats: Outdoor Voices' CloudKnit joggers have a tapered fit that keeps him from looking schlubby when he lounges or logs on to work. Plus, the drawstring is a godsend for the inevitable post-holiday dinner bloat.
- 28/73
Brumate
Rotera Water Bottle
For the Environmentally-Minded: Just think how nuts the metal straw evangelists on your list are gonna go for this insulated water bottle that has one already built-in and accessible via an ingenious twist-up lid. If you thought sippy lids were only for children…think again.
- 29/73
Todd Snyder
x Timex Blackout Expedition North Watch
For the Guy With a Naked Wrist: Timex's latest collab with Todd Snyder is a slam-dunk for any burgeoning Watch Guy or well-established Watch Nerd with its sleek black-on-black design and contrast stitching.
- 30/73
Maison Margiela
Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette
For the Guy Who's Into Seasonal Scents: The aroma of chestnuts roasting by an open fire, bottled, so he can conjure the good vibes of the holidays all year long.
- 31/73
Technivorm
Moccamaster Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker
For the Guy Who's a Sucker for Sexy Kitchenware: Nothing beats a MoccaMaster on retro aesthetics in the coffee maker arena, and with this he'll be able to serve the entire extended family in minutes thanks to its large 10-cup carafe.
- 32/73
Flikr
Personal Concrete Fireplace Kit
For the Guy Who Doesn't Have the Real Estate for a Real Chimney: He'll practically feel like Prometheus with this portable fireplace. It lets him bring the flames wherever the company is, for whenever a s'mores craving comes on or the vibes are lacking in coziness.
- 33/73
Fishwife
Spicy Hot Trio
For the Guy Who's Fried His Tastebuds By Now: The man who's always reaching for a dab of hot sauce on everything he eats deserves a little sampler spread like this one from the foodie-beloved brand Fishwife. It includes spicy chili pepper and Fly By Jing versions of its tinned seafood snacks.
- 34/73
Therabody
Theragun Sense
For the Guy Who Grinds Way Too Hard: The latest percussive massage gun from Therabody does more than just pound your muscles into submission—it's also about giving your mind a break thanks to a built-in heartrate sensor with breathwork coaching delivered via an accompanying Bluetooth app.
- 35/73
Sonos
Move 2 Wireless Speaker
For Audiophiles: Sonos upgraded its Move—a wireless rechargeable speaker built to go from bedroom to bathroom to back patio and wherever else—with a 24-hour battery life (so he can keep the party going) and stereo separation (so his "Taylor 'n' Friends" playlist will sound even better).
- 36/73
HAY
Tavern Stacking Glasses
For the Beer Enthusiast: Whether you're hunting for a good housewarming gift or just trying to please the boozehound on your gift list, you can't go wrong with these chunky, modern glasses that are suitable for pouring beer, wine, or cocktails. At $35 for a set of six, they're an absolute steal.
- 37/73
Merrell
Moab 3 Shoes
For the Gorpiest Guy You Know: Don't send him off to the top of the mount with a subpar set of hikers. Merrell's Moab 3s have the traction, the weatherproofed materials, and the looks to help him trek in the great outdoors with aplomb.
- 38/73
Solo Stove
Ranger 2.0 Smokeless Fire Pit
For the Guy Who Loves to Throw a Backyard Hang: This is one of those gifts where everybody wins: You get a cozy backyard gathering spot to make s'mores and contemplate the vastness of the universe as the stars sweep across the sky, and he gets to make fire.
- 39/73
Banana Republic
Corduroy Straight Officer Pants
Corduroy pants are “the mochas of the style world,” according to us: warm, fuzzy, and a damn delight. Get him an exceptionally handsome pair for a single Benjamin.

- 45/73

Fellow
Opus Burr Grinder

- 51/73
Oxo
12-Cup Coffee Maker
Even if he's not a huge coffee snob, he will definitely taste a difference in his daily morning cuppa. Oxo's latest brewer offers a pod-less single-serve function, but also can brew a whole 12-cup carafe for those days when he's struggling to function. And he can program the coffeemaker to start brewing before he's even awake, because the sweet smell of coffee is much more pleasing to wake up to rather than an alarm clock.
- 52/73
Gantri
Analog Task Light
While this lamp's supposed to keep him on task, he might end up staring at it instead.
- 53/73
Yeti
Rambler Stackable Lowball

Dri-Power Pullover Fleece Hoodie
Upgrade his Sunday couch gear with a sub-$50 sweatshirt that punches way above its weight. It's the kind of lusciously soft, tumble dry-tolerant, perfectly limber layer to wear from AC season to AC (actually cold) season. Plus, it's cheap enough to buy in multiples and rotate out.
- 65/73
Koa
Body Duo
Highly recommended: citrusy, woodsy scents as escapism from a tiny suburban bathroom. With this hinoki-tinged body wash and moisturizer, he'll be transported to a Japanese bath house somewhere far, far away.
- 66/73
Rabbit
Liquor-Infusing Decanter
“Infuse your own booze”: It really rolls off the tongue. Kinda like any of the delicious Frankenstein bevvies he'll make with spices and herbs in this little bottle.

Bose

He’ll be able to successfully tune you and the world out, even better maybe than he usually does, with the help of these truly excellent headphones from the masters of audio over at Bose.

For the guy who could sleep through an air horn, this alarm clock's our top pick for a gentle, but effective rise n' grind routine. It plays gentle natural sounds to rouse you awake, and also includes plenty of other party tricks, from a night light and white noise function to the ability to double as a speaker for playing your favorite jams.
- 72/73
Buck Mason
Slub Classic Tee
Upgrade his threadbare short sleeve rotation with one of our favorite, buy-one-in-every-color t-shirts. It's got the perfect lived-in texture and fit to become a summer staple, and sits at a comfortable price point for stocking up in multiples.
- 73/73
Ooni
Koda 12 Gas Powered Pizza Oven
Once the kids go in on this, they'll be stopping by a lot more often to enjoy the spoils of this backyard baker.
