The Top Holiday Gifts for Every Guy on Your List

This excellent kitchen tool has been dubbed the “Best Overall Chef’s Knife” by Food & Wine, and what better way to encourage a new, bonding activity like cooking than with a shiny new toy? If you’re at all superstitious, make sure to collect a penny from your husband when you give him this gift — that way, he’s technically ‘paying’ you for it, and you won’t ‘cut’ the relationship off.

The makers behind the bag with a 3,000 person waitlist are actually better known for their watches. These classic, understated timepieces have the same Everlane-meets-Mansur Gavriel minimalist quality, so we obviously love them for him.

It’s kind of impossible to go wrong with Everlane. Its Twill Weekender Bag ($98; everlane.com) has been a go-to men’s gift of ours for years, as have their reliable gift cards ($25-$200; everlane.com). This newly released jacket, though, is an instant favorite for its year-round wearability, style, and great value.

The sunglass market is predominantly filled with frames made by optics giants like Luxottica and Marcolin, so when you see a totally independent brand emerge making frames by hand — each pair can take up to two weeks to finish — in unique styles, it’s worth paying attention. Plus, many of Krewe’s frames (including these) are unisex, so when you forget your own pair at home, just steal his gift back for the afternoon, and you’ll look just as polished.

If we know dads, we’re guessing yours doesn’t want to be flashy, but still cares about style (even if he won’t admit it.) This super comfortable layer will become the piece he reaches for all of the time, whether dressing it up with some nice slacks, or dressing down with an old pair of jeans.

These sneakers speak a language everyone can understand. The retro colorway adds flair to an otherwise simple outfit, and whether your brother cares about style, and comfort is the added benefit, or he’s into comfort, and style is just a bonus, it’s a double win all around.

Once you experience the ease and comfort of wireless headphones, there’s really no going back. The only problem with the pod models is that they can so easily fall out and get lost. This set solves that problem with a helpful connecting cord between the two sides. These are also totally affordable at under $35, and have over 1,600 five-star reviews on Amazon.

This miniature version of a '90s-era PS1 comes preloaded with 20 games, including Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms. Whether you’re buying for an adolescent or someone who wants to relive adolescence, the PlayStation Classic will keep him entertained for hours on end.

Everyone loves tools that help them travel better, more comfortably, and with fewer hiccups. Compression socks are like a constant, low impact foot massage for the wearer, and can help alleviate unpleasant travel symptoms like restless leg syndrome and poor circulation.
