The 70 Best Gifts of All Time for Men (2024)

We're sorry that men are so hard to shop for. Around Father's Day, guys hit their neutral worst. Your dad says, "Just get me anything." Your husband shrugs his shoulders and says he'd be happy with a new pair of walking shoes. Your brother, the guy who has everything—who even knows what he wants? Men don't make it easy, but the Esquire shopping team is built to read the minds of men. We know what style, home, and tech stuff he needs, and we've compiled all that knowledge in our list of the 70 best gifts for men.

Anything from this list will be a hit, but you know your guy more intimately than we do. Maybe you know he wants some new tech, a luxury staple, or an extraordinary whiskey. Make sure you shop to his general taste. Beyond that, we've got gifts for the golfer, the outdoorsman—any type of man you love. We've tested and vetted all of these products, so anything you grab is bound to be a winner. Really, trust us, we got you on this one.
