We all have a man in our lives that’s stereotypically difficult to shop for: All you need in order to find the right gift is to know what brings them joy—and an Amazon Prime account. We explored the depths of the retailer’s site to find the best men’s gifts on Amazon for the husband, brother, son or friend who says they don’t want a gift, but, deep down, they definitely do.
For the Always-Stressed Guy: Fidget Cube
This isn’t any ordinary fidget spinner. This fidget cube has six sides, and each one has a different feature: switch, worry stone, spin, ball and gears, buttons (three audible and two silent) and joystick. This was a big toy fad during the early 2000s, and has since been used to relieve stress and help neurodivergent people, those with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or those on the autism spectrum.
For the Always-Connected Guy: Apple Watch
Sorry, Android users, but the Apple Watch is one of the best smartwatches and fitness trackers on the market. I personally love it because it lets me ping my iPhone every time it sinks into my couch cushions, but it also lets me preview texts and other alerts at times I’m not allowed to look at my phone. It also helps achieve fitness goals and ping reminders throughout the day.
For the Laundry Hater: Shirt-Folding Board
For the guy who’s guilty of lacking some basic housekeeping skills, consider gifting the shirt-folding board to give him a hand—almost literally. You simply lay your shirt on the board, make four folds and boom—your shirt’s folded. It’s portable and makes shirts compact to maximize shelf space.
For the Java Snob: AeroPress Coffee Press
The AeroPress is the ultimate espresso gift for coffee lovers. Unlike a traditional coffee machine, the AeroPress coffee maker is lightweight, dishwasher safe, portable and easy to use on the go. Once you find a ratio of ground coffee to hot water that you like, you can pull consistent espresso shots each time.
For the Fast-Food Fan: Dip Clip
The Saucemoto dip clip feels like a dream come true. You’re telling us we can dip our nuggets in our favorite sauce without taking both hands off the wheel or risking it falling on our newly cleaned cars? And all we have to do is clip this hands-free car accessory to our air vent? Drive-thru, here we come!
For the History Buff: World War II Book
Thousands of men each year fall into the World War II history rabbit hole. The World War II: The Definitive Visual History from Blitzkrieg to the Atom Bomb book contains more than 300 pages of photos, renderings and firsthand accounts of some of the war’s most pivotal moments, so your World War II hobbyist can go as deep into this hyper fixation as they want. It was written by DK Publishing and the Smithsonian Institute.
For the Man on the Go: New Balance Roav V1
The New Balance Roav V1 is an upgraded version of the beloved “dad shoe” you’ve seen on countless meme pages. Laugh all you want, but these are serious shoes that have a durable rubber outsole for traction, and a mesh upper for breathability and a cushioned midsole for long-distance comfort, making them an ideal running shoe for a range of people. Plus, they’re available in over 30 color options.
For the Gordon Ramsay Wannabe: Outdoor Pizza Oven
More affordable than other commercial-quality pizza ovens, the wood-fired outdoors pizza oven from Big Horn is still able to reach temperatures of up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit to produce the best homemade pizzas, breads and meats. Unlike other pizza ovens, this one is compact and portable, so you can use it to host a pizza party at a campsite.
For the Not So Green Thumb: Hydroponics Growing System
While it’s often used for growing fresh basil or parsley year-round, the iDOO hydroponics growing system can create an ideal growing environment for most plants. The system eliminates the guesswork for things like water and soil concentration, light exposure and heat, because it does it all for you through lights, fans and a water tank.
For the Dude with a Messy Ride: Car Trash Can
Empty coffee cups and fast-food containers will no longer fall on the back seat’s floor, thanks to this car trash can at your disposal. You can load a disposable bag into the can, which has a lid and a trash can-like opening to store up to 2 gallons of road trip snacks and beverages, making it a smart car accessory.
For the Beer Lover: Beer-Making Kit
The best Amazon gift for beer lovers has to be Craft a Brew. The beer-making kit contains everything they need to make a gallon of their favorite beer style, except for bottles. The glass carboy, thermometer, funnel, tubing clamp, airlock and rubber stopper can be used to create future batches.
For the Nostalgic Gamer: Retro Game Console
If you haven’t heard of game emulators, they’re machines that come with thousands of pre-programmed games, and the retro game console has 12,000 classic picks. Think: “Donkey Kong,” “Paper Boy” and “Karate Champ.” It comes with two controllers, so all you need is a TV with an HDMI port.
For the Guy Around Loud Sounds: Noise Reduction Earmuffs
The ProCase noise reduction earmuffs are our top pick for the best noise-cancelling headphones, because it has the highest noise-dampening rating, an NRR 28 dB rating. The adjustable band provides a snug fit and comfort so you can protect your hearing when using loud machinery or firing a loud gun.
For the Movie Critic: Mini Projector
The next time a friend admits they never saw their favorite movie, the giftee can whip out this mini projector to show it to them right away. This iPhone- and Android-compatible outdoor projector streams whatever’s on their phone onto a wall or projector screen in high-quality 1080-pixel HD picture quality, which creates high-color brightness. There are also two high-definition speakers included with this easy-setup projector.
For the Basic Dresser: Cotton T-Shirts
These Gildan cotton T-shirts are comfortable enough to be worn when lounging around home all day, yet formal enough for a dinner date if matched with appropriate pants (and perhaps a sports jacket). They’re available in a wide range of colors, and affordable enough that you gift more than two.
For the Podcast Listener: Samsung Wireless Earbuds
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 True Wireless Earbuds deliver crystal-clear sound quality for long periods, and come with the option to eliminate ambient background noise to better hear the music, podcast, TV show or movie. The average listening time for these headphones is nine hours without the noise-cancelling feature, and a little under five hours when using noise-cancelling.
For the Guy Who Works with His Hands: Casio Illuminator Watch
The Casio Illuminator is a classic, budget-friendly workman’s watch that has a reliable 10-year watch battery and a simple interface. It can be used as a stopwatch, alarm clock, backlight or countdown timer. It also has enough water resistance to withstand being worn in the shower or while doing light swimming.
For the Minimalist Carrier: Slim Leather Wallet
Finding the right credit card or ID card will take seconds with the Buffway leather wallet. The minimalist design holds up to 12 credit cards and has a special finger-hole design for easy access to your most frequently used cards, has a visible window for driver’s licenses or work badges and features a middle pocket to store cash or tickets. It’s available in more than 30 colors and patterns, so get to choosing!
For the One with a Dead Phone: Portable Charger
No outlet, no problem. This portable charger has four ports to charge iPhone and Android devices in minutes. The portable power bank needs six hours to fully charge and can charge multiple devices before needing to be recharged. It also has a flashlight and is made with impact-resistance materials to prevent it from breaking if dropped.
For the Music Lover: JBL Flip 5 Speaker
The beach, backyard, pool or any other place can become an instant concert venue with the JBL Flip 5. Everything from guitar solos to bass-pounding house music sounds crystal-clear on this Bluetooth speaker that’s made of durable and waterproof material. That means you can take advantage of the 12-hour playtime even if it rains on your parade.
