If you’re shopping for the perfect present for the special guy in your life, you’re in the right place. These are 30 surefire gift ideas for husbands, perfect for the holiday season, Father’s Day, Christmas morning, or any time of year.

1. The Ultimate Pellet Grill and Smoker

For the husband who loves to barbecue

The Traeger Ironwood XL is the perfect gift idea for the guy who loves to smoke a brisket, barbecue chicken, make the perfect rack of ribs, and more. Nothing beats a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s and a plate of hot meat fresh off the grill.

2. A Home-Cooked Breakfast Outdoors

Serve up bacon, eggs, and portability

If the Traeger’s outside your budget right now, this Blackstone Griddle Station is another incredible outdoor cooking station that offers quality and versatility. It’s a perfect way to grill up hot sandwiches, burgers, bacon, eggs, and more—anywhere you might work up an appetite.

3. The Perfect Slow Cooker

Chili in the fall? Or every day?

What’s for dinner? With Cuisinart’s 3-in-1 Cook Central Multicooker, your man will never run out of ideas. The internet is nothing if not an ocean of slow-cooker recipes, and there’ll be plenty to go around—not to mention some tasty leftovers—with this easy-to-use kitchen essential.

4. A Whiskey Decanter Set

For the sophisticated man with a fancy home office

Your husband will love having the Regal Trunk & Co. Whiskey Decanter Set in his office or “man cave.” It’s practical, it looks gorgeous on display—and so it’s perfect for the guy who prefers whiskey.

5. Get Him a Wine Cooler

(So he can use it as a beer fridge)

Whether he’s into beer or wine, your husband will be thrilled to receive the Wine Enthusiast Evolution Series Beverage Center as a gift. It holds up to 86 cans of brewski. Plus, it looks really nice, which can be important when you’re shopping for this kind of thing.

6. How About a Drink Can Insulator?

Whether he drinks Coke Zero or Miller Lite, it’s an easy win

The Yeti Rambler 12 oz. Colster is one of those no-brainer, stocking-stuffer gifts that everyone can use and enjoy. This one fits standard 12-ounce cans, but there are other versions available for slim cans, larger drinks that don’t come in cans at all, and so on.

7. A Neon Bar Sign

Help him decorate his beloved man cave

Chances are, your husband’s office, garage, or basement could use some sprucing up. A bright, colorful neon sign with a fun design—the Corona logo, a cowboy hat, a woman’s silhouette, Red Bull—is an easy, one-step solution for livening the place up.

8. An Alex Ross Justice League Poster

I mean, just look at it

This licensed Alex Ross piece from Trends International is available in a framed “barnwood” version that’ll look incredible in just about any room that could use a splash of color. Ross’s work can be seen in pivotal works from both of the “big two” publishers, from the 1996 Justice League story Kingdom Come to the decades-spanning Marvels. His illustrations also famously appeared in the opening credits for Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2.

9. That Movie He Likes

Movie buffs’ll be thrilled with a new 4K disc

You can’t go wrong with a good movie, assuming the person you’re getting the gift for has a way to play 4K UHD discs or Blu-rays. If it’s got Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, or Jeff Bridges in it, you’re probably safe. When you need to get your husband a gift and you’re all out of ideas, it’s time to embrace “dudes rock” cinema.

10. A Whole Box Set of Movies

Arrow, Criterion, and Shout! Factory have great options

Criterion’s America Lost and Found: The BBS Story is a trove of counterculture films from the late sixties and early seventies: The Last Picture Show, Five Easy Pieces, Easy Rider, Head, A Safe Place, The King of Marvin Gardens, and Drive, He Said. If your husband’s into film history, this box set is a must-have offering from the Collection. It includes early performances from Jack Nicholson, Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, and Bruce Dern.

11. Just Get Him an Xbox

Seriously, the Series X is a no-brainer

If your husband has been eyeing one of the big new games coming out recently, an Xbox Series X with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription is a great way to go. For a monthly membership fee, you get access to all the great games Game Pass has to offer, including Halo Infinite, Forza, Bethesda’s Starfield, and plenty more. Players joke about it being the best value in gaming because it’s true: a lot of bang for your buck here.

12. The Best Gaming Controller Out There

He can never have too many tech gadgets

There are a ton of great options out there, but this is the best PC gaming controller we’ve tested. The Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro Wireless works great with Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. Its build quality is excellent, the sticks feel great—just don’t try to use it with an Xbox or PlayStation.

13. What He Really Wants: A Steam Deck

That gaming gizmo he keeps mentioning

Valve’s Steam Deck is a hugely popular alternative to Nintendo’s portable Switch, and for good reason: it plays most of your existing Steam library full of PC games. It’s comfortable, intuitive, and there’s really no limit to what kinds of games you can play with this; just look for your husband’s favorite game in the “Deck Verified” directory if you have hesitations.

14. A Proper Gaming Chair

If he’s gonna game, he should game in comfort

Your husband’s Saturday-night gaming sessions will never be the same. This gaming chair is our Best Overall pick out of all the models we’ve tested—stylish, comfortable, and adjustable to help your guy achieve perfect posture.

15. A Proper PC Monitor

Higher res, more frames—for all his favorite games

If your husband has mentioned wanting a new monitor for his gaming rig, look no further than the Acer Predator. With its 280 Hz refresh rate and outstanding image quality, it delivers all the performance advantages a competitive gamer could want. It’s perfect for online multiplayer.

16. Some Wireless Headphones

Does he love music? Get him a nice new pair of cans

Sony’s incredible wireless headphones offer great noise canceling, total comfort, and roughly 30 hours of battery life. They’re a bit of an investment, but the audiophile in your life will appreciate them for years to come. Plus, you can often find them on sale.

17. A Portable Bluetooth Speaker

If your husband hosts parties, he’ll need one of these

Most great Bluetooth speakers look about the same, have roughly 10 or 12 hours of battery life, and come with a similar price tag. But our Best Overall pick is the Sonos Roam, for its great build quality, outstanding sound quality, and host of useful features. If you’re on a budget, we also have a list of some great portable speakers under $50.

18. A Proper Record Player

Help him put that vinyl collection to good use

A great record player offers warm analog sounds, an accurate anti-skip needle, and good build quality. But there’s more to it than just a slight upgrade in audio quality: Listening to records is a unique ritual, helping you get closer to the music as you handle the record, read the liner notes, and flip it over when the first side runs out.

19. A New 4K TV

Get your guy the television he wishes he had

A great 4K TV doesn’t have to break the bank. Even with our Best Value pick, the Hisense U8 Series, you can give the gift of a good-sized screen, quantum-dot technology, vivid HDR10+ colors, and loads of other high-performance features that are ideal for gaming or sports viewing.

20. The Perfect Lawn Chair

You can’t beat a nice Adirondack chair

Your husband wants to enjoy the great outdoors as much as you do, but he can’t do that without the lawn chair of his dreams. So you know what to do. This incredible Adirondack chair is comfy, stylish, and built to last; it’s even backed by a 20-year warranty. It’s the perfect throne from which to survey that freshly mowed lawn your guy’s so proud of.

21. A Basketball Hoop

Help him practice his free throws at home

Whether the man in your life knows how to slam-dunk a ball or just wants to get a little more exercise, having a good basketball hoop at home is a great way to get moving. Who doesn’t love a friendly game of HORSE? And if you and your husband have kids, they’ll love playing HORSE with Dad in the driveway, too.

22. The Coolest Lego Set

One small step for minifig

Your husband will treasure this NASA-themed Lego set, which commemorates the historic 1969 Apollo 11 moon-landing mission. With 1,087 pieces, it’ll take some time to assemble—which is of course half the fun—and it’ll look great on his desk or bookshelf.

23. The Lord of the Rings—Fancy Edition

For any guy who’s ever had a crush on an elf…

This gift-worthy deluxe binding of J. R. R. Tolkien’s beloved trilogy features 30 of the author’s own color illustrations. Also included are a pair of maps, drawn by the author’s son, Christopher. Each page includes black ink as well as red, for the titles and page numbers. Anyone who loves to read will treasure this special edition for life.

24. The Perfect Batman Comics Collection

If he loves Batman, he needs this

Get your husband over 1,030 pages of Batman in a single stunning omnibus. This collects decades’ worth of Paul Dini’s work in the realm of comics. Almost anyone who loves Batman is familiar with The Animated Series, Mask of the Phantasm, the Arkham Asylum video games, and the character of Harley Quinn. Those are just a handful of Dini’s contributions to the Bat-mythos.

25. A Nice Watch

Okay, I’ll admit, this one’s a little obvious

Not every guy has all his fashion ducks in a row, so to speak, but we know a nice watch when we see one. And we love getting one as a gift every few years—nothing wrong with this particular classic. If your guy likes gold, silver, black, or brown, start there and then just use your best judgment. If you find a watch you think he’ll like, he’ll probably love it.

26. A New Wallet

Face it: he probably needs one

This simple bifold leather wallet from Wise Owl looks great and comes in about nine different colors. From its soft feel to its minimalist natural look, heck, you might want to get one for yourself. It’s got a convenient window for his ID and a number of convenient card slots. Don’t let your husband carry loose cash when he could be carrying something as stylish (and practical) as this.

27. A Dollar Shave Club Bundle

Let him know when it’s time to lose the beard

Whether you want to get your husband a Dollar Shave Club membership or not, there’s plenty for him to try on retailers like Amazon without any recurring fee or commitment. Just get him a nice bundle with a couple razors, some shaving cream, and extra cartridges; they’ll last a while. And if he loves them, you can always set up a subscription box on the Dollar Shave Club website later.

28. A Pressure Washer

Another no-brainer option for any giftee

Maybe your husband needs to wash his car, the siding on the house, the deck out back—whatever it is that needs cleaning, there’s a good chance a pressure washer will make the job a lot easier. And our testers’ top pick is the Kärcher K4 Power Control.

Prevent nasty spills in his beloved ride

Custom-fit WeatherTech floor mats are a big hit

Whether he works outdoors or just likes to keep his truck interior pristine, a new set of custom-fit WeatherTech floor mats will be a life-saver. They’re available for most popular pickup models, like the Ford F-150 or GMC Sierra, but you’ll want to check the vehicle’s year as well.
