The 68 Best Gifts for Your Boyfriend, According to PureWow Staffers, Discerning Shoppers and Helpful Men With Strong Opinions

AirTags are a must-have for any modern traveler, so if your guy takes a lot of trips, consider one (or more) as an easy and practical gift. All he needs to do is tuck it into his bag (or a sold-separately holder keychain). It’s then powered by Apple's extensive network of devices on the Find My network, so if he misplaces his bag, he can simply open the corresponding app and know exactly where it is. It's a versatile gift, because he can also use it on his bike or anything else he might be worried about losing. Just note that it only works if it’s within 30 feet of somebody’s iPhone–so if he’s planning on taking it to a really remote place, it might not work so well.

If nothing sounds better to him than a slow Sunday filled with lounging around at home and watching whatever game is on, then this might be the ultimate gift. These Vuori joggers are soft and cozy but the flattering athletic slim fit and zipper pockets make them ideal for running errands or actually running on chillier days. With seven color options, you can't lose.

A MasterClass subscription (from $10/month, billed annually) gives him access to a wide range of online courses taught by some of the world's most accomplished experts and celebrities in cooking, writing, music, film, sports and more. Think: Intentional Eating with Michael Pollan or Film Scoring with Hans Zimmer. Your guy can go at his own pace, watch classes on his computer or mobile device and even interact with the MasterClass community. He might not get a certificate at the end, but it's an ideal gift for someone looking to expand their knowledge or skills.

It’s no secret that Spot is his favorite sentient being, so you might as well embrace it. Send in a photo of his pet, and Crown and Paw will create a digitally manipulated portrait as a renaissance dog, modern mutt, watercolor pup or any other Crown and Paw option. "Bought this as a housewarming gift for a friend and he said that he teared up a little after seeing his dog look so regal,” one buyer says. “Was so happy with my purchase.”

For the guy who could get lost in the beer section of a grocery store, scoping out every brew, get the Ultimate Beer Gift Crate ASAP. It features four craft beers—running the gamut in terms of types of brew—along with snacks to pair with each, like jalapeño Monterey Jack cheese and teriyaki beef jerky.

After he’s done wearing these rubber sandals with bright socks like some sort of stateside Harry Styles, he can use them to get to the pool and back. "Brendan was gifted these Birkenstocks from another dude asking to be his groomsman," says PureWow Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay of her guy's new favorite shoes. "And they're kinda great—super lightweight and perfect for the beach, pool and walking the dog. I'm not typically a fan of men in sandals...but these I like!"

No matter his style, he’ll be smitten with these best-selling lululemon trousers. They have a four-way stretch and look presentable while still being sweatpants-comfy, thanks to the specially designed gusset that gives him extra room for comfortable sitting. Dabee Kaye, the former VP of Brand Partnerships at PureWow, says these are a dependable buy for her man: "My husband is obsessed with lululemon pants, shorts and sweatshirts. He actually has backups just in case. They're super comfortable and don't look sloppy, so he can wear them out."

Whether he's a food snob or a guy who just appreciates a solid cup of Joe (or both), he'll appreciate this subscription that’ll make him think of you each morning. You send an email certificate (or print one out), and he goes online to answer a few questions about his taste preferences. Then, he'll be sent a selection of more than 450 fresh-roasted, fair-trade coffees from more than 55 of the top indie roasters in the U.S. The best part: You can dial up or down the frequency depending on how often he wants it and that you can mix in offerings like espressos and decafs. Just don't be surprised if he starts dropping descriptors like "fruit-forward" and "smoky" into breakfast chat.

For the perfect gift you can steal when he’s not looking, you can’t go wrong with Abercrombie’s Essential Popover Hoodie. I love the muted, neutral colors and buyers love the thick and cozy construction, with one stating, “Coziest Hoodie Ever. Super super soft. Washes and retains softness better than other sweatshirts I have.” It fits true to size, so size up if you want the oversized, baggy look.

Let's be honest: Him smelling good is actually a gift to you. And if he's in need of a signature scent, may I recommend Tom Ford Noir Extreme? With blend of warm spices and glowing citrus and notes of amber and vanilla ember it's a musky, bold scent that you'll both be loving during date nights and beyond.

Holy Grail Steak Co. has earned a reputation for its top-of-the-line cuts of meat—so much so that they regularly sell out—so when the opportunity strikes to finally try the brand's filets, you better jump on it, fast. For $59, you can score two 8-ounce "upper prime" filets, AKA steaks with "abundant marbling" that exceeds USDA standards. Ruth's Chris has got nothing on your date night in.

"We're a two-Ember-mug household over here 'cause we both can't stand lukewarm coffee or having to run it over to the microwave every half hour for a heat up (plus, we have a theory that it doesn't taste as good post microwave)," says Yohay. "Even if we go out to get coffee, my husband pours his large Americano into the Ember mug the second we get home. In his own words, 'normally, I chug my coffee to get it down while it's still hot, but I don't have to worry about that with the Ember mug. It extends the coffee drinking experience and makes it more enjoyable.'" This six-ounce smart mug and coaster lets you set the temperature of your drink between 120 and 145 degrees, and the rechargeable battery will keep it at that temperature for up to an hour and a half.

PureWow VP of Editorial Candace Davison also uses this plug-in seat cushion year-round, deeming it one of the top five gifts she's ever been given, and her husband loves it too. Why? "It’s fast-heating and great for soothing sore backs as well as just warming you up. And even though it’s cushiony, it doesn’t add a lot of bulk to your chair." With the addition of gentle massaging vibration points, your boyfriend will hopefully be relaxed after sitting in traffic instead of tired and annoyed.

The company says this scent “summons memories of sipping an earthy cocktail at an ocean-side shindig,” so we’re already sold. This complex mixture of nearly 30 oils lasts for 10 to 12 hours with just one to two mists directly to skin near pulse points. In case your guy doesn’t like it at first sniff, keep in mind that a few reviewers say the true scent takes some time to develop after applying, so it might take some time to be sure.

It might be tricky to pick him the perfect watch, especially if he has so many already. Instead, gift him a watch box, so he can display the ones he can't wear in style. The wooden box can house either five or 10 watches (to keep everything from a Rolex to a Seiko secure), and you'll have eight different personalization options to make it feel truly bespoke.

He's always working on his swing in his free time, but now he can hit the putting greens in the comfort of his own home. At 9 feet long and 3 feet wide, he'll get a realistic, long-putt challenge. The ramp will force him to "read the green" and the "sand traps" will catch any balls that fall behind the holes, so they're not rolling around too much.

For the Star Wars fan who also has an affinity for LEGO, this is the ultimate gift. After putting together the 1,351-piece kit, he'll have his very own Millennium Falcon model, complete with 2 spring-loaded shooters, a lowering ramp and an opening cockpit to recreate Solo: A Star Wars Story. He'll even get character pieces for Finn, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO and Boolio to amp up the action.

He’ll find meditation easy with this little wooden ball that connects via Bluetooth to his phone and vibrates in conjunction with two-minute narrated meditation sessions. Essentially, the little Core device vibrates to demonstrate inhalations and exhalations, along with a meditation teacher’s audio coaching. "This is way more biohack than woo-woo," PureWow's Senior Editor Dana Dickey says. "It not only helps him meditate but also gives him a record of his breathing pattern and heart rate after every session." Just note that some reviewers find holding the device distracting (which you have to do to reap the vibration benefits).

You could gift your boyfriend a personal massage—or you could gift him a nifty machine that will give him a neck and shoulder rub whenever he needs it. It features eight powerful nodes that will dig into his knots and pain points with three different speeds to really get in there. Better yet, theres a soothing heat function that goes up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit and features an 15 minute automatic shut-off so he won't overheat. Just have him rest it on his shoulders and watch as he rests into sweet serenity.

"This is a great toy for newbies and experienced sex toy fans," says one PureWow staffer who uses hers with her boyfriend. "On the regular, we use this together." Between the 100 vibration combinations and the waterproof design, there’s nowhere you can’t go, figuratively and literally, with this soft and stretchy silicone c-ring. It enables two hours of play on one charge and can be used with the We-Connect app for remote play when they're away. Just note that the USB charging and corresponding app can be a bit much for analog couples, so this one is best left to the techy (and kinky!) types.

Whether he's hitting weights or the rock climbing gym, a good gym bag to stash his sweaty clothes might not be something he already has—but definitely needs. Made with 100 percent recycled EcoSystem fabrics, this classic canvas bag holds 27 liters of goods and has a front storage sleeve for quick access to his phone or ID. When it does start to reek, he can just toss it in the wash for a refresh. It's also a good size for quick weekend trips, and the comfortable handles makes it easy to tote around heavy loads.

This classic charcoal option has a large cooking surface for direct and indirect heat and a one-touch cleaning system for easy mess removal post-feast. "There's something about a charcoal grill that men just love," says PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint. "My husband loves the portability of this wheely, little guy, and we all love how much smokier our burgers and dogs taste compared to other options." Those used to a gas grill may find the charcoal taste (and how long it takes to heat) off-putting, but personally, I prefer it.

As seen all over TikTok, this little astronaut projects a cool nebula and starry sky onto the ceiling. With the included remote, he can adjust the brightness and rotate through a hue of colors to create a planetarium vibe at home. The head and body angle can be adjusted, too, so he can create the perfect backdrop to his gaming setup or nighttime reading. It makes for a great stocking stuffer or gift just because (trust me).

Any boyfriend who is into DIY projects, woodworking or any type of fiddle-with-his-tools endeavors deserves a tidy workbench. This eight-foot, solid-wood-top Husky option is made of powder-coated steel and includes drawers and pegboards to keep tools and projects organized. It also goes with Husky cupboards, so it can grow with his needs over time. It might feel like a big expense up front, but with over 800 five-star reviews and overall claims that it holds up over time, consider it an investment in his hobbies (and your dreams of getting a custom-made dining table some day…).

Everyone can use a good cable knit sweater in their closet. Coming in three color options, this affordable cashmere sweater from Quince 100 percent Grade-A Mongolian cashmere. It's a cozy and ethical choice, as the materials were sourced from certified factories which aim to improve working conditions throughout the supply chain, as part of the Business Social Compliance Initiative. At just $100, it's a bit cheaper than most cashmere sweaters, too, but it doesn't skimp on quality.

Is there really a better gift than an investment in your partner’s health and wellbeing? A treadmill is key for at-home workouts, and the Echelon Stride-4s is a top-tier choice for your BF. "With this machine, I’m far more likely to cut out any traditional excuses I would normally have for not getting a daily workout in," writes former commerce director Nicole Briese in her review.

That's due in large part to the impact-absorbing running deck (reviewers are particularly enamored with the cushioning, which makes it lower impact than other treadmills on the market) and sturdy steel frame can handle regular high-impact workouts without discomfort to him or any wear on the machine. The massive 22-inch HD touchscreen and handlebar controls make changing speed or incline a breeze, plus, it seamlessly syncs with your internet for live classes, which might be a great add-on gift for the next holiday (hint, hint).

Listening to music is going to turn up a notch with this vintage-looking record player. Not only does it have a three-speed record player so he can listen to his records in style, but it also has a built-in Bluetooth player so he can feel a little cooler while blasting his Spotify playlists. The vintage suitcase it's housed in also makes it portable, so he can grab it and a few records to create a romantic vibe on your next trip together.

Take his simple polo to the next level with this unique stitching detailed option from Abercrombie. The sweater material makes it a little heavier and warmer than your traditional polo but is still light enough to wear on date night or on the course for a little flare. Available in two colors, it will quickly become his go-to polo.

Whether he's gotten his first tat or has a full sleeve, your boyfriend knows how important the tattoo aftercare is. This antioxidant-rich butter can help with heal dry, irritated skin post-tattoo and can also make the ink appear more visible. Plus, it can be used on old tattoos, too. "I love this tattoo balm. It makes my tattoo appear brand new, high quality and all day moisture," says one reviewer. It also comes in two lovely scent options: frankincense & lavender and vanilla coconut.

A good night’s sleep is super important, not just for your boyfriend, but for you—if he’s tossing and turning all night, you’re also going to be unrested and grumpy in the morning. The Purple Harmony pillow uses a patterned inner core of ventilated latex that’s hypoallergenic. It’s then wrapped in a moisture-wicking and super breathable mesh material that will keep the sweats away for a comfortable sleep—no more turning the pillow over every few hours. There are sizes and heights for all beds and sleepers (side, back and more), so you’ll be sure to find the right fit for your sweetie.

Davison loves using this easily inflatable paddleboard and lauds its durability: "The board is made out of ArmorStrength PVC, so once inflated, it feels more like a classic paddle board than, say, a pool float." At just 17 pounds, the board fits into a backpack to get it from the car to the waves. Your boyfriend will like it, too, whether he's an experienced user or just wants to try a new water sport.

"We love our solo stove," says Quint. "It's the absolute best way to get a safe, smokeless fire going in our small yard, and a must-have for winter entertaining and s'mores-roasting. It's also the gift that keeps on giving because you can get your partner all the accoutrements for future holidays." This sleek outdoor wood-burning firepit is portable—it weighs only 20 pounds—and safe and clean to use. Its unique design pulls hot air from the flame down back into the flame, so it’s smoke-free and fast to light. Just note that some users say it can be difficult to clean and keep looking brand new.

Experience is everything—so give your guy an unexpected and delightful night or weekend away with a trip to a tiny cabin just a short drive from many places throughout the United States. (Don’t worry–while remote, all cabins come equipped with bathrooms, small kitchens, fire pits and grill grates.) The time together and getting away from the deadlines and duties back home will forge a renewed connection that will follow you back to your day-to-day life.

Making lattes at home will quickly become an experience and hobby for your boyfriend with this PureWow-approved expresso machine. For under $100, he can make high quality expresso and live out his barista dreams (and save money on coffee shops!). Our testers liked that it's basically foolproof to set up and the steamer expertly foams milk for lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites galore.

Minimalist watches are all the rage, and you can get your guy in on the action with this timeless looking piece from Skagen. I'm partial to the sleek look of all-black, with a round stainless steel 41mm case, scratch-resistant mineral crystal glass face and mesh band. At this price point, it isn’t the highest quality watch you’ll ever encounter, but if your man is looking to upgrade from his banged-up digital watch, it’s a great stepping stone.

Nisolo is known for its sustainable and ethically made footwear, and the streamlined look and quality craftsmanship will make this pair of sneaks a repeat go-to. The cool leather upper comes in a versatile neutral that will go with everything (though it might be prone to picking up dirt!), and the sporty lightweight sole is breathable and cushioned for commuting in style. Everyone needs an easy-wearing pair of sneakers, and these will easily become a staple in his wardrobe.

Set your boyfriend up with an Audible membership so he can mix in an audiobook—like Malcom Gladwell’s Talking to Strangers or David Sedaris’s The Best of Me—every now and then. You have the option to gift a membership for one month, three months, six months or one year, and if he already has a membership, you can still send him credits to use for more book purchases.

The latest Samsung Galaxy watch is a polished improvement on earlier versions. The bezel is slimmer (and rotates), meaning more interactivity with the face—its biggest yet. If he’s into tracking his health stats, some of the new key features include Advanced Sleep Coaching, personalized heart rate zones and advanced wellness insights to help him with his day-to-day goals. One of the best features is also a superficial one—the digital clock face displays the time in a fun, retro-looking font that expands out to the edge of the display. Some users say constant app use drains the battery, so if he goes for long periods of time without charging, this may not be for him. 

Amazon’s latest Echo Show is a pretty robust smart home device, giving your BF the ability to stream music, shows and podcasts, keep an eye on his home with the camera, display photos, control smart lights and thermostats and so much more. It’s smaller and sleeker than earlier iterations and even has enhanced privacy security, with the ability to turn the mic and camera off with a button, and even a built-in camera shutter for an added layer of protection. Reviewers are particularly enamored with the enhanced sound quality.

If you have a true music fan for a boyfriend, you’ll know that he doesn’t play around with audio quality. Bose Quiet Comforts over-ear headphones are renowned for their exceptional sound, providing an immersive listening experience and blocking out external distractions with their industry-leading noise-cancellation feature. They also happen to live up to the name—they’re super comfortable and can stay on for a long time without making those ears ache. Says one happy customer: “I was blown away by the experience Bose QuietComfort headphones provided. These headphones have set a new standard for comfort and sound quality, making them a must-have for any audio enthusiast or frequent traveler.”

Whether he’s a coffee drinker, beer drinker, water chugger or all of the above, the 20-ounce Yeti Rambler Tumbler will keep his drink extremely hot or extremely cold, thanks to its insulated stainless steel design. Plus, its magnetic closure ensures it’s sealed tightly and won’t leak in his bag. One husband of a PureWow staffer we spoke with swears by his: “I use mine every day for long drives, hot workouts and even coffee on the go. There is nothing better for keeping my beverages at the temperature I want them.”

He'll appreciate you showing him how a rub of this magnesium oil on his feet can really hasten shut-eye ("I swear by a couple of sprays of this, rubbed in, to signal to my body it's time to unwind," one The Nue Co. reviewer shares). This formula contains muscle-soothing arnica and a hint of relaxing lavender as well as magnesium oil, so it's also a stealth anti-stress weapon and many reviewers swear it’s alleviated both back and neck pain. Just note that there are no actual medical claims here, so if he suffers from chronic insomnia or pain, he should talk with his doctor.

Capture all your cutest moments (while taking a break from your smartphone camera) together with this retro-style Fujifilm Instax Mini. It works like any other Polaroid-style camera, with instant prints that look adorable. This model even has a timer and selfie mirror, so you get all the benefits of your phone camera but with an instant novelty print. Reviewers report that while it’s super-fun and easy to use, photos can come out a little dark, so he’ll want to be mindful of lighting.

A map of where you met is a thoughtful and romantic gift idea that captures where you and your BF first met, making it perfect for celebrating the anniversary of that moment. Simply provide the location (address and name), and any special details you want to include, like the date or your names. The end result is crafted into an acrylic map you can display on a desk or dresser, creating an unforgettable piece of art that will give you both all the feels.

A gift of the latest iteration of Apple Airpods updates his ability to watch and listen to anything, any time, on his phone without having the TV blaring (hint, hint). The newest version comes with 24 hours of listening time before you need to charge again, and that the spacial audio feature means you can hear the sound coming from all around you. And thanks to three sizes of silicone tips with sweatproof design, he can be comfy even when working out.

Capture all the little details of your life together in this hardcover book which is totally unique to you as a couple. Simply fill in the details for various prompts (complete with cute illustrations) like "I will never get tired of the way we…" and "I'm pretty sure the stars brought us together so we could…" to create a meaningful and truly sentimental keepsake. While a tad cheesy, this book is particularly great for folks who might have a hard time otherwise expressing their feelings. “I highly recommend this for anyone who has a loved one that you just want to know how much they mean to you," explains one reviewer. "It's also humbling going back down memory lane.”

If you’re looking for an experiential gift that yields a physical product in the end, a DIY pottery mug-making kit is a great option. Not only will you get to do this activity together, but you can personalize your keepsakes, too. This cute little kit comes with everything you need to make your own pot or mug—clay, stonewear, modeling tool, pottery needle and ceramic sponge—along with instructions that talk you through the process. Note that you can air dry your pieces if you intend to use them decoratively, but if you want to actually drink out of your mug, you’ll need to use a professional kiln.

All that big-budget, surround-sound audio engineering need not be lost in your home, thanks to this speaker set that really amplifies and optimizes his movie-watching sound quality. It connects wirelessly to just about any device and, thanks to a serious subwoofer, offers much deeper, sharper sound than your TV can handle on its own. Just don’t expect it to be as high-end as an actual movie theater. As one reviewer puts it: “Manage your expectations: This soundbar will be great for replacing the built in speakers included in your TV. However, it’s not a surround system.”

Is he always squinting into the horizon? Give him the gift of shade with Caddis’ line of super-cool, super well-constructed sunnies. We love the chunky, square shape of the D28, which is made from 100% acetate and comes in tons of color combos with either polarized or non-polarized lenses. Users love how sturdy these feel and how they work on a variety of face shapes (you can choose from a standard or slim option). “I get so many compliments on these sunglasses,” one guy we spoke with raved. “I love that they’re not a brand everybody else is wearing.”

Want to really show your love? Why not have his favorite song (or an important song for the two of you) turned into a piece of art? Using a snippet of the song of your choice, artist Claudia Moldovan isolates the sound waves it produces then assembles various pieces (and stains) of wood to recreate that sound wave in a 12-, 24- or 36-inch width. It’s a subtly romantic gift that can be proudly displayed without making you feel too vulnerable—but will be a great topic of conversation when it comes up. Customers have used it for everything from their first dance song to something from the first concert they saw together, and mention that it’s especially great for the five-year “wood” anniversary. 

If your beau has an interest in visual arts but neither of you are ready to take the leap to bulky camera equipment, this small lens kit for his smartphone is a fun idea. Snap it onto your phone’s existing lens, then take close-ups with the macro lens or look like a ‘90s music video star with the wide-angle fish eye lens. Some newer iPhone models already have a camera that does similar things, so this may be a better option if he’s working with something older.

Your boyfriend will very likely appreciate a food gift of any sorts, but why not make it extra special by delivering a charcuterie basket of delicious meats and cheeses right to him? The Grand Sausage and Cheese arrangement comes with four gourmet cheeses, along with crackers, relishes and sliceable meats (like hickory-smoked summer sausage). Add a bottle of wine from your stash and you’ve got a cute date night!

Time to get all those cords off his nightstand? This Yoxinta charging station is a thrifty gift that is also super useful: It can power up his iPhone, iPods and Apple Watch all at once. While it takes up a fair bit of space on a nightstand or counter (still better than that tangle of cords!), it also happens to fold down nice and sleek so it can be tucked away or taken in a bag or suitcase when traveling. The anti-slip pads mean everything will stay in place where it should, and his phone can even be charged with a case on it. Some reviewers note that it feels very light and a hair flimsy, but for a budget option, we think it gets the job done.

The creative man in your life will love reading the musings of modern music mogul Rick Rubin, who was the producer behind acts as wide-ranging as Run DMC, Metallica and The Chicks. This contemplative book offers up Rubin’s concrete advice for aspiring creatives and more philosophical musings about where creativity comes from, and as a #1 New York Times Bestseller, it met rave reviews from both readers and critics when it was released in early 2023. In other words, if you’ve got a dude who’s always thinking about his next artistic endeavor, this is great intellectual fodder.

The Razer Kishi brings a console-like gaming experience to your BF’s smartphone. It connects directly to his phone via USB-C, reducing lag, and the microswitches, analog triggers, programmable multifunction buttons and haptic vibrations enhance his mobile gaming in a sleek and portable way. In other words, it’s a great gift for a guy who wants to casually play games on his phone, rather than hook up a whole clunky system in his basement.

Send a box of flies, lures, worms and other premium fishing essentials right to his door in this curated box that includes goodies that will be useful to newbies as well as seasoned bass catchers. He’ll appreciate that the selections come from small business bait and tackle makers. And best of all, since pros put this together, you don’t have to learn anything about the pursuit yourself to still give a gift he’ll love.

The perfect mesh of a loafer and a slipper, these Olukai slippers are about to become your BF’s new lazy day fave. The premium leather upper is secretly lined with genuine shearling, so they can make errand runs without feeling out of place. Plus, the upper is shaped over a super lightweight rubber sole that can be worn indoors or out (you know, for stepping out to grab his takeout). Fair warning, these may be the only shoes he wants to wear.

If your guy’s into rock climbing, but doesn’t have a gym nearby or the space for installing a climbing wall at home, this wooden hangboard (choose from beechwood or boxwood) is a great—not to mention inexpensive—option. Its various slots simulate different rock shapes and holds, and works to improve dexterity, strengthen fingers, wrists, hands and arms and build core strength and stability. It comes with everything he needs to install right on the wall, but the brand says that if you’re mounting on a wall without studs, you may want to put up a backboard first.

Although there’s something to be said for going to his local library and picking out a book, giving him a gift that can hold many books—including, crucially, loaned library ones—in a featherweight, size-of-his-palm device is pretty incredible. The Clara BW has blue light reduction, adjustable brightness, lots of storage space (16gb) and is even waterproof, so he can take it poolside on your next couples’ vacay.

This sleek and stylish blender will make him (and you!) the silkiest smoothies—yes, it’ll even blend up those little kale bits you can never seem to get rid of. It also comes with a water infuser, meaning he can get a little extra nutrition with his hydration. The Beast Blender is quiet, powerful and easy to use (although some reviews say the ridged design can be difficult to clean), meaning you’re gifting a little extra TLC towards his everyday health and nutrition.

Was his birthday goal to watch his health and fitness metrics like a hawk? Help him on that journey with the newest Apple Watch, which coordinates with Apple Health and whatever other apps he has on his iPhone to track everything from his sleep to his runs to his medications. Users love that it syncs so seamlessly with their other Apple devices, and we love that even if he leaves his phone at home, he won’t have an excuse to not be in touch. An all-weather adventurer? He can feel confident that this waterproof watch and band can keep up with him, no matter what sort of cross-training he undertakes.

If he’s constantly mesmerized by TikTok cooking videos, get him one of the swanky Japanese chef’s knives he’s probably seen all over FoodTok. This Santoku knife from Miyabi’s Kaizen collection is a great starting point—super high quality and durable, but at a pretty decent price point (especially if you can nab one on sale). FYI: “Kaizen” is Japanese for “improvement,” and that’s exactly what this FC61-steel-blade, pakkawood-handle beauty will do for his kitchen experience.

Therabody changed the at-home massage game. If your BF is athletic but doesn’t already own one, and you can swing the price tag, this is a great gift idea since he can use it on sore muscles and to improve mobility. The ergonomic handle makes it easy to get relief where he needs it, and the guided app experience will make sure he’s getting the most of the industry-leading device. Reviewers say it’s easy to use and worth the money, but that it requires daily charging and can be on the loud side.

If your guy has been carrying around his old Velcro wallet for longer than you’ve been with him, he’ll appreciate this stylish, but understated, upgrade. The minimalist wallet has slots for a few cards on one side, and a strong magnetic clip on the other side—all wrapped in the softest, lightly pebbled leather (choose from black, camel and chocolate). Add his initials in subtle and classy foil-debossed letters for an extra special touch.

Cold brews are his go-to choice for a boost of caffeine, and if he works from home or is tired of paying $5 for one, this cold brew maker will be his saving grace. All he has to do is add about 20 tablespoons of his favorite coffee to create 8 cups of cold brew concentrate that he can sip throughout the week. It won't take up too much room in the fridge and he'll enjoy experimenting with different beans for the best home brew.

Show him that you see his inner Ironman by gifting this pair of shorts, made from abrasion-resistant fabric with a seven-inch drop of the leg, sweat-wicking lining, as well as the prestige of the lululemon brand. Just note that some reviewers say the lining is quite thin (a pro if he wants his shorts extra light, not so much if he wants more coverage) and many say that they run small, so if you’re choosing between two sizes, definitely go with the larger one.

Personalized gifts and golfing just go together, and I love the idea of getting a stunning print of your boyfriend's favorite course or the one he aspires to play on. Just search for the course of your choice, choose the kind of print (print, canvas, blanket or golf towel), pick the size and it should be delivered in the week. The available courses are super specific but if you can't find it, you can always request a custom print. For example, I was able to find my boyfriend's favorite nine-hole public course in New Jersey, and he was absolutely blown away that I was able to get a print of it.

Movie night nearly gets ruined by the horrible crunch of a kernel. It just messes up the vibe (not to mention makes you worry you've just cracked a tooth). This ingenious bowl will solve his biggest popcorn problem by gathering all the kernels at the bottom using a colander so they won't disrupt his munching. Plus, it's stylish enough to double as a fruit bowl when not used for popcorn purposes.
