Stumped on what to buy for the guy who is impossible to shop for? Been there. As our Instagram feeds fill up with giftable golf accessories or unnecessary tech gadgets claiming to be the perfect present, the panic sets in- what if the guy you are shopping for doesn’t play golf? Or, your 75-year-old dad or father-in-law isn’t the most tech-savvy dude on the planet? Finding gift ideas for men can be a process!

My gifting philosophy in general is always to gift an item that men can- and will- use, but make it an elevated version of said item, so it feels like a present while also being practical. Because nobody has time- or clutter tolerance- for one more thing that will sit unused and collect dust.

Every item in this edit of gift ideas for guys who are hard to shop for has an element of function, with a dash of fun/innovation/unexpectedness mixed in. Because straight-up functionality sort of can feel like a nag disguised in wrapping paper with a bow on top, ya know?

Some shout-outs:

1- Anything Vuori is a win, we happen to love the joggers and long sleeve basic t-shirts the most right now.

2- If he loves to cook, these Material World cutting boards are great- I bought a set of 3 for Brian last year and we use them daily- durable and easy to clean, plus the color palette is always on point and looks good enough to use when serving, too.

3- This was one of last year’s most popular gift guide items, and I totally get why….
