Best Gifts of 2023 for Every Man in Your Life

Real Simple / Brian Kopinski

Buying gifts for men can prove to be unexpectedly difficult. When in doubt, focus on gifts that are thoughtful, practical, and unique (although standbys like a nice sweater or an expensive bottle of wine are always good too). If you’re feeling particularly stumped while shopping for Father’s Day, we have something for every dad, from practical, everyday gifts to sentimental presents he’ll cherish.

“Consider unique and well-crafted items that match his interests,” says Dayna Isom Johnson, a trend expert at Etsy. “Some options I love include a climbing-inspired mug for the outdoorsy guy, a dopp kit for those who travel often, or a custom guitar wall mount for the musician. And when in doubt, opt for a custom or personalized gift made just for him.”

Whether you're looking for something sentimental or practical, we found something for everyone.

Questions You Might Ask

How much money should you spend on a gift?

According to Johnson, “there’s no right or wrong amount to spend on a gift.” She goes on to say that “what matters most is the thought that was put into discovering or creating just the right gift for the person you care about.” An expensive gift is nice, but may not be the best fit for the giftee. Consider your relationship with them and what shared interests you have to find a gift that’s as unique as they are. 

What should you put in a gift basket for a man?

Johnson advises starting by “picking a theme based on a hobby they love so that the items feel intentional and curated.” For example, when creating a gift basket for a coffee lover, “opt for a standout mug, artisan coffee, a handcrafted pour over, and dark chocolate.” Thoughtful, well-crafted items will go a long way in elevating your gift basket’s quality and showing your gift recipient how much you care about them and their interests.
