Choosing gifts for guys can be hard—especially for dudes who have specific hobbies. Don’t worry, though; you don’t have to become an instant expert on fishing lures or football players in order to find the perfect gift for the man in your life. Here are a list of gifts that any guy will be ecstatic to unwrap this year.
You Can’t Go Wrong with a Stylish, Functional Watch
No matter what he’s into, every guy needs to know what time it is once in a while. Even if he’s not into bling, a high-quality watch is a gift that he’ll use everyday—and look great while doing so.
Casio EDIFICE EQB500
A modern watch with classic appeal, the Casio EDIFICE EQB500 appears to be a beautiful analog timepiece, but upon taking a closer look, it’s much, much more. Its Bluetooth technology is perfect for the man on the go. It enables the wearer to link it to world time in 300 different cities, so they can keep track of what time it is at home or elsewhere no matter where they’re currently traveling.
It harnesses the energy of the sun, using solar power to drive smartphone functions such as automatic time adjustment. Misplace the phone that the watch is connected to? The EDIFICE can find the phone by causing it to sound a tone. It’s also water resistant for up to 100 meters, so no matter what adventures await, there’s no worry about taking it off before diving in.

Help Him Step Up His Fitness
Maybe he’s not big into New Year’s resolutions, but getting healthier is on everyone’s minds after the holidays. Give him one of these to help him chisel his muscles and relax his mind next year.
Spire’s Wearable Wellness Tracker
Fitness trackers are all the rage now, so why not gift your guy the latest and greatest health tracking? The Wearable Wellness Tracker isn’t like other trackers that simply counts steps. It works via a smartphone to track activity levels, breathing patterns, and stress levels. If he’s tense or hasn’t taken a deep breath in a while, the Wearable Wellness Tracker will gently remind him. It will guide him through meditations, helping him clear his mind and better focus on important tasks. It will encourage him to up his activity level if he spends too long being sedentary. This means more restful sleep, an improved mood, and overall better health.

When it’s time for him to work out, give him the right clothing to do it right. 2(X)IST Men’s Activewear makes gear that cool and comfortable for every workout. Their Mesh Short and Tank are designed to wick away sweat before it can build up, creating heat and stickiness.

Spiff It Up with Smooth Stocking Stuffers
Men’s grooming products don’t need to mean going all-out with manscaping and exfoliating. If his grooming needs are a bit more everyday and low-key, here are a few items that even your basic shower-and-shave fellow will likely enjoy as a nice change to his routine.
Hair Pomade
Although some guys might be judgmental about hair pomade initially, once they see the Old Spice label, they’ll feel at ease. Old Spice has been making cologne, deodorant, and grooming products for dudes for generations, so it’s a name with which guys feel comfortable. They can smooth on a bit of this pomade to provide a moderate amount of hold without a great deal of shine. It smells great, too!
Deodorant
Speaking of Old Spice deodorant, that also makes a wonderful stocking stuffer. Their Sweat Defense Anti-Perspirant works long and strong for even the most sweaty days. Old Spice knows deodorant, and their Sweat Defense lineup works 20% better than similar products on the market. With a variety of scents available, there’s one out there to suit every guy.
Price: Varies depending on item
Great Gifts Make It a Merry Christmas
Whether they’re active or relaxed, dressy types or more low-key, these items are sure to please. Although it is the thought that counts, picking one (or a few) of these will ensue that you’re giving something he’ll actually use.
