There are very few men that I find easy to buy for. Unless you’re my brother and actually enjoy getting the new model of your favorite shoe every year for the holidays, I struggle to find gifts for you. I always appreciate a well thought out wish list, but there are always a few men left on my list each year that I just have to wing.
Maybe they are super picky when it comes to clothing, or maybe it seems like they already have everything they need, or maybe they are just worse at announcing things that they need throughout the year {yeah, that’s probably it}. But, whatever the reason, it is always men left on my list come December 15th.
Not this year, folks. This year I vow to be done early, and only have items that I’m looking forward to purchasing left on my list in mid to late December. Wish me luck.
Or, remind me that I already made this list, and I just need to stick to it and buy multiples of these best gifts for him. With prices from $20 all the way up to $200, there’s a little something for every man on your list. So, click through, and shop away this holiday season.
Let’s get into the best gifts for him
1. Schumacher Electric 12V 4-in-1 jump starter and power pack
I remember those days back in the 90s when it was a gamble whether my car would start or not, and I remember sitting in parking lots hoping someone would come by that would be willing to help me jump start my car. Those days are all behind me now that I have an awesomely portable jump starter that I can keep on hand so I don’t need another car to help me start things up. Now that I have drivers {crazy, right?} I love that I can send one of these portable power packs with one of my teens if they are driving a less reliable car and know they will never be sitting in an empty parking lots asking strangers for help.
The Schumacher Electric SL1674 12V jump starter is capable of reviving motorcycle, ATV, car, truck, SUV, RV, and marine batteries up to 8.0L gas and 4.5L diesel engines. It can even handle low-voltage batteries, thanks to the Jump Start Override button. You can even manually jump start dead or low-voltage batteries that aren’t automatically recognized by the unit, and it has pre-boost technology that adds a pre-charge and warm batteries for an easier jump.
This portable powerhouse isn’t solely for jump starting; it’s an all-in-one {or rather, 4-in-1} solution for staying connected and powered up on the go. The SL1674 includes a 10-watt wireless charging pad for cord-free convenience, fast-charging USB-A and USB-C ports for devices that need a boost and an LED light. As much as I love the SL1674 for jump starting in emergencies, I love the wireless charging pad for cord-free charging of smaller electronics just as much. There have been so many cases where my kids’ friends got in scary situations because their phones weren’t charged and they were stuck somewhere, so I love that my kids can not only jump start themselves, they can also charge that cell phone before or after.
And, I love that they have multiple charging options via the wireless charging pad or using the USB-A or USB-C ports for all their devices, which means there are literally no excuses. If they should ever be in one of those scary situations I mentioned earlier, I also love that the LED flashlight with three modes {steady, flashing SOS, and strobe} can come to their rescue.
The SL1674 recharges quickly in 4-5 hours so you can always have it ready for emergencies. SL2674 includes (1) SL1674 Lithium Jump Starter and Portable Power Pack, (1) smart jumper cable assembly, (1) USB-A to USB-C charging cable, (1) user manual. The SL1674 is under $100, which is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

2. Wild Badger 40V 4-in-1 multi-tool combo yard care set
We have a small, urban yard that doesn’t require a ton of work, but I feel like the older I get the less appealing yard work sounds. I’ve made no secret about my distaste for long days spent caring for my yard. I’ll spend hours gardening, but I want yard care and maintenance to be as quick as possible. If a tool promises to make maintenance a little easier, I’m already sold.
When I found the Wild Badger 40V electric 4-in-1 yard care set, I was originally most excited about how quick it would make yard care with quick-change attachments. But, then I also got excited about how much space it would save having one tool with four attachments instead of storing all 4. It’s hard to say which one makes me happier: the space saving or the amount of time I save only grabbing one tool, only charging one set of batteries, and quickly alternating between attachments within seconds.
As the name would expect, the Wild Badger 4-in-1 multi-tool combo yard care set has four separate attachments that are easy to switch back and forth between: a 15″ grass trimmer/edger, 8″ pole saw, 16″ hedge trimmer, and 13.12ft line/10″ brush cutter. Basically, it’s everything we need to care for our yard and it’s all in one easy-to-use kit.
The kit is equipped with a 18,000 RPM motor, dual battery system, and smart chip to deliver powerful performance. The 2 20V 4Ah batteries last long enough to finish all of our yard and then some, and then I can pop them on the dual charger to charge them back up. Note: you must use both batteries together to run the unit, it’s not a battery and a spare as I had originally thought.
The Wild Badger set is designed to reduce vibration, which minimizes fatigue during extended use. That being said, it does still heavy after a while and it gets loud depending on the tool you’re using. A good pair of ear plugs and the shoulder strap come in really handy and help make yard work almost…. fun?
You can buy the 4-in-1 multi-tool combo from the WildBadger website and on Amazon. Be sure and follow Wild Badger on Facebook and Instagram.
3. Handmade leather toiletry bag from NOVICA
This leather toiletry bag from NOVICA came highly recommended to me, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect. We’ve had other toiletry bags before, but they have always been huge and bulky canvas bags that the whole family packed into.
Now that the kids are older and we have done more traveling without kids {or at least without packing all of their bathroom items in our bags}, I’ve been searching for a classic toiletry bag to gift my husband. I’ve never found one that was perfect for road trips with the family as well as business trips solo. Until now.
The craftsmanship in the leather toiletry bag is what immediately sets it apart. The detail seaming down the side adds a little bit of playfulness, without straying from the very classic design that I love. The lining is well made and can stand up to whatever we’re toting, and it even includes a small pocket that can keep small items separate. A zippered closure keeps the bag secured in your suitcase.
But, most of all, I love knowing that the toiletry bag was made by an artisan just for me. Ricardo Hinojosa in Mexico makes stunning leather bags and accessories for all occasions, and each one is gorgeous and functional. From satchels to wallets, there’s something for everyone and it’s just waiting to be shipped to you from NOVICA, all beautifully packaged and wrapped for gifting.

4. Ekster Wallet Pro
Ekster is one of my favorite brands for premium accessories for men, and the Ekster Wallet Pro is my top pick. Their wallets are super slim so they disappear in a pocket, which my husband loves because he drives a lot and doesn’t want a huge wallet in his pocket for long drives. They are also made from premium, sustainable materials with handcrafted Italian Vachetta leather so they are heirloom quality in an everyday carry package. And, they are also RFID-blocking, which is one of my must-haves now that wireless theft is such an issue.
But, the coolest feature? The Ekster Wallet Pro gives you fast card access with the push of a button. It has a metal pop-up mechanism that lifts the cards upward so you can see which card is which. There is also additional card storage on the inside flap if you don’t want all of your cards to “fan out” and can hold a whopping 1-14 cards.
The Ekster Wallet Pro is customizable with multiple add-ons including their tracker cards that are trackable world-wide for Apple and Android users. You can also add two different types of cash clips, a coin pouch, and a tool card so you can customize your Wallet Pro to your specific specifications. Ekster has a lifetime warranty, so it’s a gift you can absolutely feel good about gifting this holiday season knowing that your recipient can use it for life.
You can buy the Wallet Pro at Ekster.com. You can shop Ekster products on the website, and you can follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
5. Mad Tree Woodcrafts handmade boxes
Where do you keep your most precious items? Let me guess: some are in your purse, some are in your nightstand, some are in a cardboard box in storage, and others are around there *somewhere*… And then there are others that were so special that you put them somewhere so safe that you may never find them.
No judgement here, I was in the same place as you until this year. This summer, to be exact. That’s when I found Mad Tree Woodcrafts and they made me the most gorgeous handmade keepsake memory box for all my sentimental items.
This handmade wooden keepsake box is a gorgeous work of art, and the perfect place to store all of my sentimental treasures. We’re not talking about a basic wooden box that’s been stained in different colors, rather this is an heirloom-quality handmade hardwood box made with only the finest quality components.
Truly, words don’t even do it justice. The exquisite craftsmanship is apparent in every single detail of the Mad Tree Woodcrafts personalized keepsake box. From the single pieces of walnut hardwood that make up each side of the box to give it a consistent grain, to the contrasting hardwood maple corner splines and miter joinery, it’s apparent at first glance that this box is something special.
If you want to wow him this holiday season, order your Mad Tree Woodcrafts keepsake box today. You can start shopping here.
6. Keyport Pivot 2.0 Essential Plus Kit
My husband used to have so many keys in his pocket that it would literally wear holes straight through the jeans or canvas as well as the inside of the pocket. When he switched careers and no longer had to carry a handful and a half of keys, he went 100% the other way and now only carries a select few keys that he uses all of the time. But, then those keys would also mix in with the loose change, random tools, a pocket knife, and other odds and ends in his pocket, and it was never a good balance.
But, when he found the Keyport Pivot 2.0 Essential Plus Kit, he finally found the best solution to the problem of too many or too loose of organization of keys and tools. The Keyport Pivot 2.0 Essential Plus Kit is the ultimate solution for all your key organization and everyday tool needs. It holds 2 to 8 keys, which is great, but where it really excels is all of the tools you can pack into it along with keys.
The Keyport Pivot 2.0 has a sleek design made of high-quality aluminum. It comes standard with the Pivot 2.0 EDC key organizer, a pocket flare 2.0 module which is a 4-function 90-lumen mini flashlight, the MOCA 10-in-1 multi-tool, and a RuSH tool for Pivot setup and module removal. But, from there, you can customize it however you want. Add in a custom faceplate, a pen insert, a 2.0 electronic business card, a pocket knife, and so much more. The Keyport Pivot 2.0 can also be paired with loose EDC items like car fobs, thanks to its sturdy D-ring.
You are going to love your Keyport so much, which is why you’re never going to want to lose it. That’s why the Keyport Pivot 2.0 features the KeyportID lost & found service. Each purchase of a Pivot gives you a complimentary two-year subscription so that if you ever misplace your keys the finder can connect with you anonymously via the unique serial number engraved on each Keyport.
You can buy Keyport organizers and accessories on Amazon as well as the Keyport website. Be sure and follow Keyport on Facebook and Instagram.
7. Polyver Sweden boots
In an unusual turn of events, the Pacific Northwest got tons of snow this week. Normally, we pull down our boots with plenty of time before the snow hits us in late December or January, but this year, we found ourselves running around searching for boots in the morning before school as the snow started dumping and our car was undrivable. Thank goodness we had these new Polyver Sweden winter high boots that boast being able to handle conditions between +10°C/+50°F to -40°C/-40°F.
Polyver Sweden understands what it takes to keep your feet warm and comfortable, which is why we’ve all been fighting over these warm-lined high boots all week. No amount of “cute” or “stylish” matters when it’s literally freezing outside, and all you want is to keep your toes warm while you get where you need to go. With these Polyver boots to keep us warm and dry, we all got safely to and from school, and comfortably through a record-breaking sledding day with the family.
In addition to keeping your feet dry with a seamless and waterproof exterior, these boots also have great traction that kept us from slipping and sliding all over when the snow inevitably turned to ice with the fluctuating temperatures. In short, if your favorite guy gets in a lot of snow, he needs these.
8. Cheese Brothers Gift Packs
Again, go with food if you’re really not sure what to buy him. Specifically, buy him some protein. Cheese Brothers proclaims that the best gifts are cheesy and they might be right.

9. Solo Stove Bonfire
What better way to relax and bond than with your own portable bonfire that you can take with you on your adventures? The Solo Stove is the pinnacle of “smokeless” bonfire, and for a good reason. It really does keep the smoke to a minimum and lets you enjoy all the perks of bonfires, without smelling like smoke for the rest of the day.
Solo sells numerous accessories, including ones that allow you to cook right on the Solo Stove Bonfire, or allow you to keep your flame contained or get it going even faster. There’s a tool for basically everything. And, if you need even more tools for your bonfire, check out the Pit Command Talons that make it even more fun to play with fire.
Whether you want to elevate your patio with a smokeless bonfire, or you want one that can come right along with you, Solo Stove is the perfect fit.

10. HyperPack backpack with AirTag pocket
The HyperPack Pro is the perfect backpack for guys on the go. It’s a great minimalist design with multiple pockets to help keep you organized while protecting your tech. This 21L design holds all your stuff securely, but keeps it accessible while you travel. Triple-padded airflow system and adjustable and padded shoulder straps are comfortable and breathable for long days of wear.
The bag includes a fleece-lined padded laptop compartment that is suspended for additional drop protection, a pocket for paperwork and important documents, a large zippered front pocket, and organizer pockets with pen holders, and both zippered and easy access pockets. I particularly love the pass-through charging for easy access to your portable battery pack. On the sides are exterior pockets to hold your favorite water bottles.
With a backpack this nice, you’re going to want to keep it safe, right? Luckily, safety is built into every aspect of the backpack, starting with keeping your gear safe and dry. 1200D RPET polyester exterior and YKK water resistant zippers work together to protect from the elements and help keep any rain or spills from getting into your pack.
You can also keep your bag safe from thieves with all the built in protections against theft. A hidden back pocket and interlocking zippers make it harder for unauthorized people to access your stuff. And, then there’s my favorite theft deterrent: Apple® AirTag upgrade. A built-in silicone tracker pocket allows you to add your own Apple airtag tracker. Speaking of keeping your backpack safe, you will love HyperPack Pro’s Limited Lifetime Warranty that protects you against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the practical lifetime of the product.
You can find out more and shop for the HyperPack Pro Backpack on the HyperShop website as well as on Amazon.
11. Looft Fire Starter
Name one guy that doesn’t want a super cool fire starter. I’ll wait. Oh, you’ve got no one you can think of? That’s because starting things on fire is in their DNA. And, when that fire starter is this incredibly cool, I would be hard pressed to think of anyone who wouldn’t want to try it out.
The Looft Lighter X is a portable firelighter that was designed to create fire in seconds using only battery power.

13. Zircon tools for the DIY-er
If the guy on your list is a true DIY-er, he needs to know about Zircon’s collection of amazing tools that make home renovations a whole lot less stressful. By allowing the homeowner to figuratively take a peek into walls and electrical boxes, it makes any DIY project easier and more enjoyable.
Zircon’s philosophy is simple: “we make tools, not gadgets.” And, it’s true – they make smart tools that stand the test of time for both casual DIY-ers and professionals, not gimmick-y tools that you will need to upgrade each year. While the whole line is great, here are two tools that the more advanced homeowner needs in their toolbox:
The Zircon MultiScanner 1520 Stud Finder puts all the stud finders you’ve used before to shame. This doesn’t just detect studs behind walls, floors and ceilings, it also identifies metal, live wiring, and more. If you’ve ever avoided drilling into walls for fear of accidentally finding an air return, a water pipe, or metal plate and electrical work, this MultiScanner is for you. It’s the perfect home improvement tool for any project – big or small – and helps make home improvements as stress-free as possible.
The Zircon Breaker ID Pro circuit finder helps you accurately identify which circuit breaker controls the specific outlet or light, taking the guesswork out of flipping breakers hoping you have the right one in the circuit box. A circuit tracer may not be the first thing people think of when shopping for presents, but I think we’ve all had a trial-and-error circuit breaker finder adventure. And, for a homeowner who is renovating their space and doing anything at all with electricity, having peace of mind that you have the correct breaker identified can actually be lifesaving.
These two tools aren’t going to make home improvements any less messy or expensive, but they just might make things easier and a whole lot safer for everyone. If you have a DIY-er on your list, check out the full line of Zircon tools to choose the perfect solution for your recipient. They are surprisingly inexpensive for the peace of mind they bring.
You can shop Zircon’s tools for general home improvements and any DIY projects on your list. It may just mean that some of your to-dos get to-done this next year.
