Shopping for men used to be challenging… until now. We’re your premier source for reviews on all the best stuff guys need—plus stuff they might not need, too! That means you’ll find hundreds of product breakdowns and descriptions that can surprise and delight even the guy who seems to have it all. Tech enthusiast? Check. Adrenaline junkie? Check. Apocalyptic survivalist? You bet we have him covered, too!
Today’s post gathers up our top five gift ideas you can use to impress that very-special man in your life, whether he’s your significant other, sibling, parent, or peer. No matter what his interests are, he’s guaranteed to love at lease a few things on our list!
For the techy…
- Universal Remote Control
If there’s one thing guys hate, it’s digging through the couch in search of the remote control—and to make matters worse, most households have as many as three to five different remotes, each of which controls a different device. If keeping track of all of them isn’t challenging enough, how about making sure at least 10+ AA and AAA batteries are always around?! Make his life easier with an all-in-one universal remote, like the Logitech Harmony Smart Control, that he can use to command all elements in his entertainment system and smart home devices!
For the sports fan…
- Athletic Apparel
If your man has a favorite team, you know he can never have enough swag to represent his fandom. You don’t need to spend a fortune on a certified game jersey to impress your dude of choice; you can find plenty of cheap shoes for men that come in his team’s favorite colors, but are much more versatile than an expensive jersey could ever be. Keep your eye on his collection to make note of what you haven’t seen him rocking quite yet. Socks, beanies, gym shorts, and crew neck tees are all viable options.
For the hobbyist…
- Manual Guide
Let’s face it: we men can be a bit stubborn on occasion, and if we’re too headstrong to ask for help, chances are that we just won’t do the task at hand and instead abandon whatever pursuit we were harping on. Doesn’t matter whether that’s trying to find a new hole-in-the-wall eatery or learning a new activity.
If he’s wanted to learn a new hobby but hasn’t quite figured out all the bases, you might consider getting him a user manual guide or tutorial that can break down the steps he has yet to master. Sure, this assumes that he’ll actually need to open the book in order to use it as a resource—as they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. However, if he has access to help (and doesn’t have to ask for it!) the odds are much higher that he’ll take advantage of it! Pretty soon you’ll see all sorts of wood making projects or musical instruments come to life.
For the traveler…
- Mobile Power Bank
You don’t have to be an international jetsetter to appreciate this gift, but you can count on your travelling gent to appreciate this more than anyone else! A mobile power bank allows you to charge your devices on-the-go, including everything from cell phones to tablets to portable video game consoles and beyond.
If you’ve ever been caught at the airport on a long layover with a dead cell phone and no outlet in sight, you know what a drag the experience can be. Many of these power banks hold multiple full charges, ensuring he’ll never have to face that dilemma again.
For the survivalist…
- Tactical Flashlight
As promised, here’s a suggestion for the quirky survival guy on your shopping list. A tactical flashlight will sure come in handy any time the power is out due to severe weather patterns, or you’re stuck on the side of the road in the middle of the night due to car trouble. The Hybeam is an amazing survival tool that ensures you’ll be seen when you need critical assistance thanks to the powerful 250 lumens that comes with three different mode settings.
