The Best Gifts For Men That Will Blow His Mind But Not Your Budget

Gifting season is upon us, and between family, friends, co-workers and partners, it’s possible you’re shopping for a guy or two. The best gifts for men are practical yet offer a sense of style or a level of quality that the recipient probably wouldn't buy for himself. Steer clear of the over-designed (and over-priced) items that some retailers put on their gift guides for men. Most guys aren’t dying for an expensive candle or cashmere sweatpants too delicate for daily life.

Instead, think about the items that can easily fit into (and upgrade) their existing routines or fill a gap for what’s currently missing. That could be a self-cleaning water bottle to stay hydrated on the go or a sharp flannel shirt for work or weekends. For entertaining at home, let him mix up bartender-style drinks with ice spheres and snack on the best salty crisps imported from abroad.
