25 of the Most Useful Men’s Gifts for Christmas

Men are hard to shop for, am I right? Anything my husband needs he can get (and probably already got) himself. It’s rare to see men’s gift ideas that he would actually use or want.

This time, I went to the source and asked my husband exactly what he would want from the four gift rule model: something he wants, something to wear, something he needs, something to read.

Most of these gift ideas for him are products he already has and absolutely loves. Here are 25 of the most useful men’s gifts for Christmas.

Hopefully y’all found my men’s gift guide with 25 of the most useful men’s gifts helpful. My husband personally loves anything survival, tactical or techy. Or anything that will make his life easier - like that wingman leatherman. What is your man’s favorite thing? Tell me in the comments!!



Something they Want

  1. JBL Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker // One of our friends has this speaker and it is legit. We love having it with us when we go tubing down the river. It’s also nice to have for parties and you don’t have to worry about the weather interfering, or if you accidentally leave it outside for a week.

  2. Echo Show 5 // Compact smart display screen with Alexa.

  3. Inflatable Lounger Air Sofa Hammock // Portable,Water Proof, Anti-Air Leaking Design. Ideal Couch for Backyard, Lakeside, Beach, Traveling, Camping, Picnics & Music Festivals! My husband has problems sleeping and a bad back from a motorcycle accident 3 years ago. This is the only “bed” that doesn’t hurt his back and allows him to get a full, restful night’s sleep.

  4. Echo Dot (3rd Gen) // Smart speaker with Alexa. If you don’t have an Echo yet, you need one. We use ours multiple times a day. Life changing.

  5. Igloo Latitude 90 Quart Rolling Cooler // Every man needs a good, big cooler with wheels for the beach (or lake), camping or tailgating.

  6. State Frame // If the man on your list is hard to shop for, or seems to have everything, why not get him this unique handmade printed state map of his favorite state. Great for those guys who travel or have moved around a lot!


Something to Wear

  1. Men's Mountain Classic Fleece Jacket // This design is so classic and masculine. Full zip and two pockets. Several different colors available.

  2. Bluetooth Winter Beanie // MIC for Hands-Free Call. Great for listening to music while on the go!

  3. Ross Michaels Men's Hooded Plus Robe // Plush Shawl Kimono Bathrobe for Men

  4. Men’s Wood Watch // My husband always gets so many compliments on his wooden watch. His was about $30 from Ali Express. I think this one, available with customization, is a great step up.

  5. Unisex Polarized Aluminum Sunglasses // Vintage Sun Glasses For Men/Women. My husband is always looking for polarized sunglasses. This is a pretty cool, affordable pair.

  6. Men’s Hiking boots // These are such a great style and color of men’s hiking boots. My husband definitely has his eyes on these. They’re on major sale too! Under $90!

  7. Alvada 80% Merino Wool Hiking Socks // Thermal Warm Crew Winter Sock for Men, 3 Pairs and different colors.


Something they Need

  1. Sleep Aid Device // More Than 500,000 Customers are Falling Asleep Faster with Dodow sleep aid.

  2. Credit Card multi-tool // My husband has one of these multi-use credit card tools and loves it. It fits perfectly in a credit card slot in your wallet and has so many uses. They also make great stocking stuffers.

  3. LifeStraw Red Cross Personal Water Filter // Believe it or not, these sold out last year. Everyone wanted one. Even if you’re not into hiking, camping, survival stuff or prepping, these are great to have on hand in case something happens with the water in your area or in an emergency situation. Also great stocking stuffers!

  4. Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Earbuds // with Wireless Charging Case, Waterproof Stereo Headphones in Ear, Built in Mic Headset, Premium Sound with Deep Bass.

  5. Beard Grooming & Trimming Kit for Men’s Care // Beard Brush, Beard Comb, Unscented Beard Oil Leave-in Conditioner, Mustache & Beard Balm Butter Wax, Barber Scissors for Styling, Shaping & Growth Gift set. Perfect for the beardo in your life!

  6. YETI Rambler 30 oz // Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler w/MagSlider Lid. I like the black, charcoal and silver for a men’s hot & cold thermos.

  7. Whiskey, Liquor Decatur & drink glasses // these are so classy and such a great price! $30 for the liquor decanter and 6 drinking glasses! Such a classic men’s drinking set.

  8. Leatherman Wingman // If you’re looking for the ultimate Christmas gift for men, it’s this Leatherman wingman multi tool. I know I have another multi tool on here, but my husband uses this one multiple times a day. This is his most loved item, he literally freaks out when he can’t find it.
