As much as you love your fella, finding the best gifts for husbands is notoriously tough. So what’s a loving partner to do when they need gift ideas for men that won’t just become clutter? You can’t go wrong if you stick to these buckets: something useful, something he actually wants, an experience you can share together, or a good old-fashioned surprise. To find the best options in these categories, we went straight to the source, getting recommendations from Glamour editors (and their hubbies), testing viral TikTok finds, and asking our guys what’s really topping their wish lists. And wow, did they come through!
Shopping for Mr. Romantic? Go with a matchbook printed with your anniversary or a retro Viewfinder loaded with pictures. Need a gift for a new dad? For obvious reasons, we suggest a relaxing massager. And if he’s a foodie who likes to spice things up, a hot-sauce set is always a popular present. No matter which direction you go, these tried-and-true gifts won’t disappoint—whether you’re hunting for the perfect anniversary or birthday gift or getting a jump-start on the holiday season.
