73 Best Gifts for Men in 2023 That Will Spoil Them Rotten

For Your Favorite Clotheshorse: The words “Barbour” and “under $100” feel like a winning combination for gift season, especially when you’re looking at a supremely soft tartan scarf like this one that spruces up any layer it’s draped over.

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.

For Absolute Homebodies: You don’t get much more cozy than a full-on set of sweats that drape your legs in fleece. The adjustable waistband and roomy fit on these will also be a godsend for any feasting he’s planning to do during the holiday season.

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.

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.

Now’s the perfect time to shop it, too, since it’s 30% off.

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).

For the Guy Who Doesn’t Have the Real Estate for a Real Chimney: He’ll practically feel like Prometheus with this portable fireplace that will become his new favorite toy.

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.

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.

Some high-quality, extra-absorbent threads to replace those mildewy rags he’s been hanging onto. The thin waffle weave adds a spa element to any unwelcoming bathroom, and dries up excess moisture before any mold or mildew can set in. 

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.

Once the kids go in on this, they’ll be stopping by a lot more often to enjoy the spoils of this backyard baker.
