Whether you call him your dad, your dude, your bro or your bestie, the man in your life is gonna need a gift this holiday — that’s a no-brainer. But what’s not so much of one is what to get him. If shopping for him is a liiiittle tricker than scooping up gifts for mom or a cheap stocking stuffer for each member of your extended fam, we’re here to point you in the direction of some ooh- and aah-worthy gifts that have a guy’s seal of approval. Browse our gift ideas for men below — 36 stellar picks, as well as an entire collection in the B+C Shop, that are sure to hit the mark.
1. Polaroid 600 Camera + Film Set ($122): Gift your man this camera so you can become his muse. Shake it off for the camera, then all he’s gotta do to develop physical copies of those snaps is shake it like a Polaroid picture… because it *is* a Polaroid picture.
2. Sonos PLAY:5 ($499): Give the gift of neverending music at home with this WiFi streaming device, all controlled by a remote app on his phone. He’ll love it so much, and you for getting it for him, that he may just let you control the tunes every so often.
