Are we all in agreement that finding good gifts for men gets harder every year? It doesn’t matter whether we’re buying an anniverary gift for our boyfriend, or a birthday present for our dad or grandad, the note on our phone labelled ‘gift ideas’ permanently consists of posh socks, chocolates, and perhaps a couple of trending gadgets — if he’s lucky.
Essentially, when it comes to finding great gifts for our favourite fellas, we could all do with some inspo — and, ideally, links that allow us to speed right to the checkout. Especially with Valentine’s Day now somewhat visible on the horizon. And TBH, even if you aren’t yet thinking about shopping for the annual love-fest, at least one of your favourite men probably has a birthday in one of the months ending in ‘y’. Hence why, now felt like the right time to scour the men’s sections of all our favourite sites, and pull together this editor-approved gift guide of the best gifts for men.
From keepsake personalised gifts for your Dad to gadgets for gamers that also make great 30th birthday gifts and luxe foodie gifts for your handsome home chef, you’ll find suggestions for every kind of guy in this carefully curated edit.

How we chose the best gifts for men:
Here at GLAMOUR, we don’t do anything by halves. Our research began by quizzing various men — specifically our dads, boyfriends, brothers and male best friends — for their valuable insight on the best gifts they’d ever received. We also requested a quick look at their wishlists to see what they would like to find beneath our (expert) wrapping at some point later this year.
After clocking up a fairly lengthy list, we got our hands on as many samples as we could to consider the following of each: product quality, quantity, aesthetics, price, and value for money. Unsurprisingly, the items that didn’t impress or we wouldn’t actually gift to our loved ones haven’t been included in this list.
