19 New Years Gift Ideas for Men

You want to be thoughtful in your gift giving. Intentional. You don’t want to default to another tie, as adorable as the latest one might be.

You want the men in your life to know that you’re truly thinking about them and that you have worked to find the right gifts. Something they will enjoy. Something that is useful or entertaining. Something they didn’t know they needed.

But for some reason men can be very hard to shop for. Men’s gifts seem to fall into the same categories every year – clever ties, new socks, car gadgets.

Not that any of those things are wrong as gifts, of course. Everyone needs socks and jumper cables, but there are only so many desk toys you can give the man in your life before it looks like you’re not really even trying any more.

This holiday season you can go a different direction. Get something new. Something unexpected.

If you’re ordering a few things for the men in your life, you don’t have to send them separately. Buy from multiple vendors and have the goods sent to us. When they arrive, we can repackage them using our parcel consolidation and repackaging service and then them on to you as a streamlined delivery.

If you’re having trouble thinking of something new and interesting on your own and the stores aren’t helping you, have a look at the list below. We’ve gathered twenty thoughtful gifts that might just be perfect for the man in your life.

Socks might be an expected gift every year, but there is no reason to give the same old boring socks.

Wool and wool-blend socks, for example are perfect for runners, hikers and climbers.

Tour or travel bag

A suitcase will get you to a destination, but sometimes it’s overkill or you need something smaller when you arrive. A tour or travel bag is just enough for an overnight trip or to carry necessary items around while you’re on the go. Backpacks, messenger bags or a small duffle or case can all be an attractive, yet easy way to travel.

Pocketknife

Sleek, stylish, attractive and functional.

There are so many uses for a pocketknife and so many beautiful knives out there. You’re sure to find the right fit.

Toiletry bag

Leather, nylon, folding or not, there are many options when it comes to keeping your bath items together and safe while traveling, and your man will appreciate the ease that packing can have when you have all the right gear to get from one place to another easily.

Travel manicure set

There is no worse place to get a hangnail or chip a jagged corner of your toenail than when you’re away from your nail clippers. Work, travel, business trips or simply running errands can be so much more challenging when you are struggling with a painful nail situation.

Do you have Neanderthal in your bloodlines? Are there distant relatives you’ve never met? All of that is possible with a DNA kit – plus they are really just fascinating to learn from.

Knife set

A man in the kitchen knows the power of a good knife, and there are plenty of good knives to be had. A high quality knife set will look beautiful on the counter and more than serve a purpose for those who enjoy cooking and preparing food regularly.

Just remember to pair his new Xbox with a good set of headphones to fully immerse him in the gameplay.

There are plenty of great gifts out there waiting for you – including the ones listed above. And best of all, there is still plenty of time to get these gifts ordered and delivered to your door without paying expensive rush fees or extra international shipping rates.
