21 Awesome Gifts For Men That Are Most Wished For On Amazon

I love surprises, whether or not anyone else does. That's why I can't stand asking the question, "What do you want?" when I have to buy a gift for someone. In a desperate attempt to avoid said surprise-spoiler, I often default to checking out the gifts most added to Amazon wish lists — especially if I'm shopping for my partner, dad, brother, or guy friends. The men in my life are notoriously hard to buy for, so I like to get a little insight from other men who've got their eye (or mouse cursor) on the coolest, most innovative presents on Amazon.

Perhaps my favorite dudes are so hard to shop for because they don't fit into the quintessential male gift guide. My dad can't stand football, I've never seen my boyfriend in a tie, most of my friends can't grow a beard, and I don't think a single one of them has ever picked up a golf club in their lives.

The good news? No matter what the men in your life are into, Amazon breaks down their most wished for items into super specific categories, ranging everywhere from arts and cooking to automotive and outdoors. If you're currently drawing a blank, here are some of the most original gifts for men that other men can't wait to get their hands on.
