52 of the very best gifts for men who say they don't want anything

Kopiko is an Indonesian coffee candy that's popular among coffee drinkers who want to enjoy the flavor of coffee without the trouble of preparing a cup. It has a distinct combination of actual coffee bean extracts and milk that has made it a popular confectionary around the world. And yes, they do have caffeine — about three or four of the candies has about the same amount of caffeine as a shot of espresso. 

Amazon reviewers give it 4.7-stars. One five-star reviewer has this to say: "I’ve been seeing this brand coffee candy in a lot of K-dramas so wanted to give it try and WOW it is so good now I am hooked into this thing. It’s also very convenient when you don’t have time to make coffee or drink it it’s easy on the go just anywhere. I keep some in my purse and at work." 

For the guy who’s really into those deep-cleaning, power-washing videos on YouTube (you know the ones…), he’ll get a kick out of how satisfying it is to use this cleaning putty. Designed for removing dust and dirt from the crevices and vents in your car, it can also be used to remove crumbs from keyboards, dog hair from hard-to-reach places and a lot more. It can be reused many times.

Self-care gifts tend to be centered around women, but if he suffers from tension headaches or finds it hard to unwind after a long day, this scalp massager might help. Many reviews say it “feels amazing” and that they would “highly recommend” it.

Sweet and savory snacks are one of the cheapest and most pleasing goodies you can buy to round out a gift for someone. These Wagyu beef steak strips are the elevated cousin to beef jerky.

A tin of almonds probably doesn’t sound like an exciting gift idea, but these aren’t just any almonds. These are spicy dill pickle-flavored almonds — that have nearly 35,000 reviews! They’re perfect for the guy who has a salty, spicy tooth. If dill pickle flavoring isn’t his thing, you can also pick up a tin of Elote Mexican street corn-flavored almonds.

Spice up his Father's Day with a bottle of his favorite hot sauce. Old Bay hot sauce is an essential if he loves seafood. Dash it on oysters and shrimp, dab it on corn on the cob or sprinkle it on scrambled eggs for a kick in the morning. Pair it with a new set of grilling tools and he's set for his next summer cookout. 

If he already has AirTags, or if you think he'd get the most use out of them keeping tags on his four-legged friends, then these pet collar AirTag holders are a good gift accessory. He can keep tabs on where the cat and dog are at all times by checking the AirTag location in the app on his phone.

Give him the gift of a beanie with over 160,000 five-star reviews! This Carhartt men’s knit cuffed beanie is designed for warmth and comfort. It includes a sewn Carhartt label on the front cuff and is made with a stretchable rib-knit construction. It comes in over 35 colors, as well.

What is it about shoestring potato sticks that takes us back to our childhood? Surprise and delight him with a tin of these original Utz Potato Stix. Out of nearly 12,000 reviews, a surprisingly large number of them say that these snacks, while “hard to find,” take them “back to my childhood.”

If he’s into camping and hiking, upgrade his favorite camping mug with this Coleman enamel mug that’s durable for accidental drops and no-fuss enough to be tossed into the dishwasher when he’s back from his trip. It’s great for tailgates, picnics, barbecues and more.

If he’s the handyman around the house, he might benefit from this magnetic wristband that holds screws, nails and other small tools so he can keep his hands free while working on projects. Reviewers say that it’s a “great gift” and that their “husband loves” it.

Sure, you can probably pick up some flaky Maldon sea salt from the grocery store, but this smoked variety can be a bit trickier to find. The salt is gently smoked over oak to give it a robust, thick flavor that reminds one of good American barbeque. While it can be used to punch up pretty much any dish, it’s also delicious, simply sprinkled on a thick slice of sourdough with unsalted melted butter. 

This beard detangler is designed to tame his facial hair. Reviewers say it’s great for “rough beards” and that it “smells great.” It’s made with maracuja oil and shea butter, so you know it’s made to hydrate dry facial hair. (Bonus points if you take a peek at all of the men’s smiling selfies in the review section.)

If he doesn't own a pair of Bombas socks, you're about to change his world. These aren't just any ordinary socks — Bombas socks are especially nice to wear because they’re designed with targeted cushioning and a unique honeycomb arch-support design that’s like a gentle hug for the most tired part of your feet. I've gifted a pair to my partner on pretty much every gifting occasion for years — per his request!

Upgrade his shower experience with new luxury soap. These ones from centuries-old American brand Caswell-Massey have a richly warm scent of sandalwood, cedarwood and clove for "a deeply spicy sensory experience." They're also designed with a woodgrain look. 

Coffee and chocolate are a classic combination, and Tony's Chocolonely is some of the best chocolate you can gift a chocolate or coffee lover — especially if they like a variety of flavors. This pack includes some of the brand's best-selling flavors: milk, dark, nougat, caramel, hazelnut, and almond and sea salt flavors.

If he doesn't already own a Nalgene water bottle, you’re about to change his life. These 32-ounce reusable bottles are a favorite among hikers, campers, bikers and outdoor lovers for a reason. They’re lightweight, easy-to-clean, made of BPA-free recycled plastic, dishwasher safe and are made in the USA. I own several, and recommend keeping a carabiner on it for hands-free carrying.

If he’s doing more travel these days, he could probably use a stylish toiletry bag like this Carhartt Dopp kit. It’s made of a durable water-repellent material and is lined with a waterproof material as well, so it’s ideal for liquids and bathroom toiletries.

You can take a man out of his favorite city, but you can’t take the city out of the man. Choose urban cities from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. They’re dishwasher safe, too. Cheers to that.

Slippers, PJs and robes are the go-to loungewear gifts for men, but we can’t forget about the MVPs of loungewear: sweatpants. Every guy could use a new pair of sweatpants to replace the old pair he wears on repeat at home. These ComfortSoft ones from Hanes are extremely affordable and have almost 50,000 reviews — it’s a wardrobe staple he’s sure to use.

Father's Day is around the corner, and this four-piece grill tool set is a deal you can't pass up. It comes with a spatula, basting brush, tongs and fork. 

If he doesn’t own one of these already, odds are his dad or grandpa does. This classic Stanley thermos is designed to last a lifetime (or two!) thanks to its high-quality stainless steel design. It maintains temperatures for several hours, making it a favorite among hunters, hikers and fishermen. The lid doubles as a bowl or cup, so it’s great for keeping hot liquids like soup or coffee warm for hours.

Whether he's doing midnight feedings or is on bedtime duty, this hands-free tablet stand holder is a useful gadget that'll let him watch his favorite show or read his current page-turner without needing to use both hands. 

Over 14,000 Amazon reviewers have found it useful, too. "I read every night on my iPad as part of my bedtime ritual. Only problem being that I was getting tired of holding the iPad up," said one five-star reviewer. "So I was looking for something to attach to my headboard and hold the iPad for me. The MAGIPEA Tablet Stand Holder thus far has worked perfectly. My hands are now free."

Everything that’s old is new again, as evidenced by the fact that these retro-style Casio watches are on trend once again. They’re a great fit for teens and young adults who are into vintage fashion. Reviewers love the “old school” and “retro look” of this watch, which includes a stainless steel wristband and beige clock face. It includes an LED screen and is water-resistant, too.

Codenames is a classic group board game, but this Codenames: Duet version is great for just two players. It’s a word association game in which you're spies providing each other code words while avoiding enemy assassins. The better you know your game-playing partner, the better you’ll do.

Add to his board game collection with a copy of Wavelength, the game that's all about mind reading — literally! If he's a fan games like Code Names or Monikers, he'll love Wavelength. It's a great game for big group too, so if he likes to host board game nights, it's a game he's sure to enjoy.

Slippers are a solid gift any time of the year. These faux shearling and suede clogs include rubber soles with anti-slip traction so you can wear them outside to take out the trash or grab the mail. The memory foam footbed cushions your arch with every step, while the slip-on clog design makes them easy to throw on or off quickly. Get them in men's sizes 7 to 14.

Whether he’s into making his own hot sauces or loves making homemade pasta, if he knows his way around the kitchen, he’ll appreciate a new set of nice cutting boards. This set of heavy-duty bamboo cutting boards comes in four useful sizes for chopping and serving. We especially love that they’re designed with a drip ledge for preventing messages and catching precious juices you might want for adding flavor. We recommend pairing it with some food-grade mineral oil to prevent stains and to keep the board looking its best over time.

This World Of Coffee sampler from Atlas Coffee Club is a great way to gift fancy coffees to a coffee lover, without the commitment to a subscription plan. This sampler pack includes four of the brand's best single origin coffees.

I received a gift of Atlas Coffee a few years ago and loved being able to try different brews from around the world. As a self-described coffee lover, I found it to be a useful gift and fun gift — one that's sure to get used up in a coffee-drinking household.

Of course, if your giftee ends up loving a brew in particular, they can sign up for an Atlas Coffee Club subscription where they'll receive new and flavorful coffees from around the world each month.

As a new dad, he might not be the one breastfeeding, but he'll still need a way to keep milk and snacks cool for the little one. This Carhartt cooler bag is made of heavy duty fabric and is stylish enough that nobody might suspect it's full of breast milk and fruit pouches. When he's not on baby duty, it's big enough to store a six-pack for his weekend fishing or hiking trip.

This Champion hoodie is a great addition to loungewear rotation. It's available in dozens of colors and in sizes XS to 4XL big and tall sizes. 

Does he always ask you to carry his keys and wallet in your purse when you're out? Give him his own bag so he'll always have what he needs when he's on-the-go. This crossbody bag is lightweight and can carry everything from a phone to a water bottle. It's made of water-repellent fabric and features an external zippered compartment as well as the main compartment. Adjustable straps let him find the fit that's most comfortable for him.

His fragrance journey just got a little more interesting. MALIN+GOETZ's Cannabis Perfume Oil is a great introduction to the brand's heady and lingering aromatics. The brand describes it as "rich + earthy scent that brings to mind lazy afternoons + a lingering smokiness." It includes notes of pepper with citrus and wood. This roll-on fragrance is ideal for the guy who isn't quite sure what scent he wants to commit to just yet — and it's also portable for travel. 

Help him make a good first impression with one of Clinique's top fragrances for men. With fragrance notes described as "fruity masculine" it's an everyday, light scent that's suitable for office and daytime wear. The brand says it's "Cool. Crisp. A hit of citrus. A refreshing scent for men." 

Accessorize your dad's backyard BBQ setup with this professional-level spatula set with a scraper, squeeze bottle and so much more in this 135-piece griddle and grill tool set.

If he’s doing more travel these days, he could probably use a stylish toiletry bag like this Kobby Dopp kit. It’s made of a durable water-resistant silicone so even if something spills it won't seep through ruin his other luggage. It’s ideal for liquids and bathroom toiletries.

Let him discover what the hype's all about when it comes to one of the best-selling facial moisturizers for men. We recommend this product for guys who can’t be fussed to deal with a skin care routine because it’s good for all skin types and textures, including sensitive skin.

This nifty gadget has two unique uses. It can be used a bit like an old-school headphone splitter, sharing audio between two sets of wireless headphones. It can also be used to Bluetooth connect audio to pretty much any device with a standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. Use it on airplanes to connect AirPods to in-flight entertainment, at gyms and more.

Level up his morning routine with a new lightweight waffle-knit robe. Available in sizes S to XXXL, this waffle robe is comfortable enough to wear year round, and is lightweight enough for lounging around. Reviewers say they like it because it's lightweight and absorbent. 

Make sure he never loses his phone, keys, luggage or wallet again with a pack of Apple AirTags. He can keep all of this most prized possession nearby and easy to find. 

Sperry's are the ultimate dad shoe. Make sure he's ready for summer with a brand new pair. These ones have over 3,000 reviews on Amazon and a 4.4-star rating, so you know they're good. 

In fact, one five-star reviewer put it best when they said, "I have a black and brown pair that is at least 19 years old. Still look good. Never wear socks with these boat shoes, in a short while they fit like a glove."

For a gift you know they'll use, we recommend Trade Coffee's gift subscription. Choose from 2-, 3- 6-, 9-, 12- or 24-bag subscriptions for brews from some of the nation’s best coffee brands. We recommend the 3-bag plan, which allows your giftee to choose their preferred frequency of delivery for their grounds. Each delivery includes freshly roasted coffee that’s personalized based on their unique tastes, so they'll always receive a blend they're guaranteed to love.

You could gift him an Amazon Echo Dot, a Sonos One or another type of smart speaker devices, but sometimes simplicity is best. This vintage-inspired radio from Victrola — one of the leading turntable manufacturers of the early 1900s — is Bluetooth compatible, giving him the best of what’s new and old. Use one dial to switch between Bluetooth, AM or FM, another to tone the bass and treble, and another for volume. If he’s a fan of retro technologies, he’ll especially love the satisfying crackle of using the tuner dial to find his favorite station.

For the coffee lover who really hates when their cuppa goes cold, the Ember temperature-control mug is a no brainer. I'm a long-time owner of the original Ember mug (this is the model No. 2) and I love it because it prevents me from having to heat up my drink over and over when I'm having a leisurely morning. 

In fact, we ranked this as one of our best heated coffee mugs of the year because it's "the self-heating mug that made me fall in love with self-heating mugs," according to our tester Rick Broida. 

The charging base keeps your drink warm to your preferred temperature for up to 80 minutes. It comes with an app where you can set temperature preferences, make presets and more. The charging base also works without an app and remembers your last preference settings.

If they don't already own an espresso machine, this is a solid beginner option. We dubbed it our most versatile pick in our guide to the best single-serve coffee makers of the year because it can brew Nespresso pods and regular ground coffee. It even comes with an Aeroccino milk frother so you can make lattes and cappuccinos.

If he wants an ereader that’s not an Amazon Kindle, might we introduce you to the Rakuten Kobo? I’ve owned one of these for nearly three years, and it still works as well as it has since the first day I got it. It’s easy to connect to Libby, where you can access your local library’s database of ebooks, and has all of the features you’d expect for an ebook, like adjustable screen brightness, bookmarking, note taking and more. You can even find Kobo-specific cases to protect them, too.

A well-made robe is something he'll use for years. I highly recommend these “super plush” robes from Brooklinen that are made with 100% Turkish cotton and feature deep pockets, cuffed edges and a piped collar. I've owned one for years and it's still still the robe I reach for every morning. I love that it's thick enough to keep you warm on a cold morning, and plush enough to use like a bath towel after a shower, if that's your jam. Best of all, it keeps its fluffy feel even after dozens of washes. 

Does he always empty his pockets as soon as he walks through the front door? This catch-all doubles as a useful wireless charging station and is made in stylish Italian leather. Whether he keeps it on the entryway table, his nightstand or on the dresser, he's sure to put this to use. 

These Birkenstock Clogs can be slipped on or off hands-free and are comfortable enough to wear all day, with or without socks. Plus, they're not all that terrible looking for when you need to step outside for a quick stroll to the mail box or a grocery-shopping errand. After all, practical gifts oftentimes make the best gifts of all.

 These shearing-lined Birkenstocks are the cozy sibling of the cult-beloved Arizona Birkenstocks, making them perfect for wearing around the house on chilly mornings. They're a great pick for guys who need a house shoe that they can also wear to the mailbox and on the back porch. 

If he’s a devout coffee lover, he probably already has a nice coffee maker and his preferred beans for brewing. But what he might not own is a really fancy coffee grinder, like this Fellow Ode Brew Grinder. It's an extremely precise home burr grinder with the power of one you might see behind a cafe bar. It’s a compact size that’s also quiet. Plus, it has 31 grind settings and 64-millimeter professional-grade flat burrs so he can grind up the perfect beans for his favorite Aeropress, pour-over, French press or cold brew, no matter how he likes it. If all of that's a bit over your head, just trust us — extremely enthusiastic coffee lovers will be over the moon for this grinder. Not in your budget? We have more suggestions for single-serve coffee makers here.

The Tidbyt is a retro-futuristic pixel display that’s as fun to use as it is to look at. Use the app to program Tidbyt to display useful info such as the weather, stocks, news, sports scores, time zone maps and even train and bus schedules. It makes a good gift for the tech guy who already owns all of the gadgets and devices he could possibly want. Extremely techy folks can even develop their own apps to display on the Tidbyt, too.
