50 Cool Holiday Gifts For Guys

Let's face it, shopping for other people is difficult. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot of fun when you get it right. But getting there is a struggle. Maybe the person you're shopping for insists that he doesn't want anything. Maybe he only wants what you can't give him. (A million dollars, a vacation, a job as the New England Patriots quarterback ...) Or maybe he simply doesn't know what he wants. Either way, it's a frustrating process. Trust me, I know. I don't make things any easier for my wife. So this year, I’m prepared to help you in your search for cool holiday gifts for guys.

This goes for all the guys in your life — boyfriends, husbands, brothers, fathers, first cousins, second cousins, and beyond. No matter who they are, they are often tough to shop for. After all, there are just so many options out there, and so many different styles and tastes. But the guide below was curated by me, a dude, who would love to get any of these gifts. So read below to figure out what to get the Don Draper wannabes, the Star Wars lovers, the tech junkies, and more. And the best part of it all? You don’t even have to leave your home to get any of these gifts. Happy shopping!
