The 70 Best Christmas Gifts for Men, Including the Best Stuff We’ve Tested This Year

Remove those funky ties from your cart. We know men can be so hard to shop for, but that doesn’t mean your gift has to be a cliché. We set out to find the best Christmas gifts for men that your husband, father, coworker (and any other man in your life) will actually love.

We constantly test the best products on the market so we know which gifts will wow him. We’ve tested almost half of these items ourselves (like handy-in-a-pinch power banks and even giftable celebrity-owned alcohol brands), and we’ve included gifts that we’re eyeing for our loved ones, too. Here are the best Christmas gifts for men.

If you’re not sure of your gift recipient’s interests and preferences (maybe they don’t take milk with their coffee or aren’t great at crossword puzzles), giving them a gift from your travels (or a place they love to talk about) is a great way to show someone you care about them.

“Sometimes the best gifts are those little reminders of a great trip. Visitors to Royal Hawaiian Center love picking up goodies from our flagship Honolulu Cookie Company and Island Vintage Coffee to share a taste of aloha with loved ones back home.” — Sam Shenkus, VP, Director of Marketing at Royal Hawaiian Center

The Best Gifts for Kids of 2024, Tested by Kids

Why Trust PEOPLE?

Genevieve Cepeda is a staff shopping writer who is constantly testing new products, from home appliances to running shoes. After testing a Theragun this year, she’s excited to gift the athletes in her life a similar model. She made this gift guide with the help of PEOPLE shopping writers and editors, who also recommended top products they’ve tested this year. 

We’d only recommend the best for your friends and family. So, we narrowed down the thousands of PEOPLE Tested products to the ones that we think are actually worth your money.

Our Shopping Experts

• Erin Johnson is PEOPLE’s associate shopping director, who is constantly testing home and outdoor products. 
• Shalwah Evans is a senior shopping editor with extensive experience in the beauty, fitness and grooming space. 
• Kayla Kitts is a shopping editor with over a decade of experience writing about home and lifestyle products. 
• Madison Yauger is a shopping editor who constantly tests products to find the best in home, pets, and travel.
• Cai Cramer is a staff shopping writer, specializing in beauty and health. 
• Alyssa Brascia is a staff shopping writer who specializes in fashion and beauty. 

What is PEOPLE Tested?

We created the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval to help you find the very best products for your life. We use our unique methodology to test products in three labs across the country and with our network of home testers to determine their effectiveness, durability, ease of use, and so much more. Based on the results, we rate and recommend products so you can find the right one for your needs.

But we don’t stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we’ve awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square.

In short, PEOPLE Tested provides recommendations you can trust — every day, every purchase.
