25 Gift Ideas for Husband/Dad/Fathers that They'll Actually Use:
I know what you're thinking. Men are impossible to shop for. And you are correct. They are! That's because whenever you ask them if they need anything they just shrug their shoulders and say "Nothing".
But it's their birthday or it's Father's Day and you for once want to get them something they will actually enjoy and use. I have spent years gifting my father, brothers and husband, so I know what goes over well and what doesn't.
And I know every guy is different and has different interests, but the gift ideas I've compiled kind of work for any guy. The guys I know are usually more interested in gifts that are practical and useful rather than something that is more glitzy and expensive.
All right so here goes, here are my 25 gift ideas for men that they will actually use.
A new phone case
Who can't use a new phone case? I know that dirt and gunk is always getting trapped in the edges of my case and it gets discolored that way. Men use their phones all day, let it look snazzy and be protected at the same time.
This brand makes really unique phone cases and they have a really easy website to navigate where you can find the size of your guy's phone and see which cases they have for it.
2. Phone Accesories
Check out the accessories this brand makes for the phone like the wallet, suction mount, loop holder and underwater case.
3. A device cleaning kit
This kit gets out all the little dirt and germs that fly into your phone speakers, airpods and charger ports. It's low key satisfying to do.
4. A subscription to literally anything.
I love gifting subscriptions. It's the kind of thing you want but you don't want to buy it yourself. But if someone handed you a full year subscription to your favorite gym, UberEats, Amazon prime or Instacart, you would be pretty happy!
Here are some other great ones to gift!
$12 a month - Everand is like a subscription to the biggest bookstore in the world. They have millions of ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, magazines, newspapers, sheet music, and much more. Your husband can read what he wants, how he wants — across devices and even offline.
If he would rather listen to books than read them! You choose how long the subscription gift should be for, just follow the prompts in the link above.
Cratejoy - view subscription options here
If your hubby is the crafty and creative type they're going to love this. Each month Cratejoy sends a box over with all the supplies needed to learn a specific craft. It's definitely a great way to try new things or find some hidden talents!
5. Sunglasses
Sunglasses is the kind of thing you gotta keep buying because they just keep losing them! Sunglasses hut always has the best prices for brand name sunglasses
6. Cologne and Body Care
A man can never have too many bottles of cologne...
This organic magical oil gets rid of dry cracked skin in a couple of days! Put it on skin, hair, nails or anything for magical regrowing and rejuvenation!
7. Travel Essentials
My husband has to travel often for business, so getting him any type of travel accessory to make his trip easier will always get used and he'll always be grateful for it. Here are some of his faves:
A passport holder or any other kind of personalized travel accessory from Stoney Clover.
A lightweight carry on suitcase that rolls easily. This is the brand we have and it has held up for over 3 years so far! We love it. Pro tip: Get an obnoxious color for larger suitcases that he will be checking in so spotting it on the luggage carousel will be easy.
A spill proof travel water bottle that can keep liquids cold or hot
8. An Omnistick Photovault
If your husband is like mine, he has thousands of pictures and videos between his phone computer and other devices. This powerful little stick collects your images from all devices automatically and stores up to 120,000 photos on one stick! It's compatible with all devices too!
9. Cordless Drill for Hard to Reach Places
This drill has a 3 position handle which helps get into hard to to reach places. For a guy who loves to fix things, this is an excellent little gadget to have handy.
10. Mini Crockpot Lunch Box
This lunch box keeps your hubby's lunch warm for hours after you've packed it.
11. A grill spice set for your master griller
If your husband is the type to stand by the grill for hours then let him change up his grilling game with these epic spice rubs that contain no fake flavors or preservatives.
12. Comfy Headphones
Whether it's airpods, Beats or some dupe of the two, a guy can always use a new pair. One for the house, one for the car and one for work! These are highly rated on Amazon for comfort, quality and sound
13. Clothes
Say what you want about gifting clothes, but sometimes it's downright necessary with the frequency that men buy themselves clothes, if you know what I mean. Here's the stuff I always end up buying every year for my husband.
A scarf
A new coat
A classic sweater
A polo shirt
Good quality socks
A timeless belt like this Hugo Boss one!
14. A lapdesk
If your man is always working and balancing his laptop precariously on a couch arm. This is a great solution! With 13,000 reviews and an overall pick badge on Amazon I would say this one wins out in comfort and quality.
15. A mini portable speaker
Having a way to turn any moment into a party by blasting some tunes is every guys dream, isn't it? This speaker has 30,000 good reviews and the sound quality cannot be beat!
16. Car accessories
Ok this one works if you're man is obsessed with his car, which I believe most men are. Here are some car gifts for men that are highly rated and popular.
A universal magnetic car mount that doesn't take up too much space. This one is the most popular on Amazon.
A mini car vacuum - this one has 300,000 4 star reviews!
Here is a more portable, but smaller one
An interior car cleaner that actually works well
An exterior cleaning spray to make their cars shine
A trunk organizer that's collapsible!
A tiny car trash can that fits anywhere and doesn't spill! Between the seats, in cup holders, this one is currently trending and comes in other snazzy colors.
A car suit hanger, we have this for years!
A retractable car charger
This is so much better than having cables flying around his car!
17. A Good Vacuum Cleaner
If your husband does most of the cleaning, do him a favor and get him this vacuum cleaner. My husband loves it because pressing the trigger for it to turn on and off while you clean feels like a game. When you let go of the trigger, it stops working, so you're constantly "shooting" at the dirt. It's really fun and practical since it charges on the wall mount. My husband uses it multiple times a day and loves it!
18. A baseball cap holder
For the guy who can't ever find a cap before leaving the car. This is perfect.
19. AirTags
These trackers that connect to your iPhone are super helpful to put in your husbands luggage, on his phone keys, or in anything that seems to disappear often!
20. Personalized collar stays
If your husband uses these on the daily, it's a great idea to get metal ones with little love notes inscribed onto them!
21. A mini photo album
If your husband is the sentimental kind, a tiny key ring album to remind him of his family is the perfect gift. There are many variations of this on Amazon, but I chose the one that you can have the pictures printed directly on the pages. This way you don't have to be busy cutting and pasting tiny photos to stick into the album.
22. Experiences
For some guys the best gifts are experiences they can remember forever. Some experiences I have gifted in the past were tickets to a nearby hotel, tickets for a helicopter ride, and tickets to a concert.
23. A good and compact wireless multi device charger
This one has over 20k reviews and folds down into a little square that fits in your pocket!
24. Glass screen protectors
Mine are always cracking so it's always good to have a bunch of spare ones handy!
25. A food dehydrator
If your man is into cooking and wants to start making beef jerkey this is the best machine to start with. Dehydrating stuff is all the range now, and he can explore with lots of different foods!
So there you have it, all my gift ideas for men! I hope you find something here that can work for your man. Even if you just got inspired, I'm glad I'm able to help at least a little bit!
See you next time,
Libby
