Bring a little opulence into his everyday life
As it’s already the second week of December—um, how?—one could argue there are mere days left to buy one of the best luxury gifts for men. But we’re here to help. Whether you’re shopping for your father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin, or best friend, the goal is to find something he’ll use without feeling too practical. We’re talking luxury gifts, which equates to true splurges, especially for a man with everything. Plenty, however, come in under $100, under $50, and even under $20, all while packing that wonderfully fancy punch.
We’re taking our knowledge of the best luxury gifts one step further with experts who can help us find even more top-notch presents for men. Jian DeLeon, director of fashion and editorial for Nordstrom Men, recommends zeroing in on their day-to-day needs and offering small upgrades. “Elevated purposeful items that demonstrate a certain degree of thoughtfulness,” he suggests. “Like a Caran d’Ache pen for a man who likes to write things down, or a Jason Markk sneaker cleaning kit for the footwear enthusiasts in your life.”
While you may want to tread lightly when buying something related to a hobby he’s exceptionally knowledgeable about (unless he’s specifically asked for it), useful accoutrements like a new shaving kit or camping gear accessory can make his life easier. If he’s tech-savvy, there are electronic gifts and even gifts on Amazon that can improve his day-to-day (and that come with quick shipping).
Continue on to shop 70 of our favorite high-end items and little luxuries for the men in your life, at any time of year—and the holidays in particular. Word to the wise: Order ASAP—deadlines for the start of Hanukkah have just passed, but you can still make Christmas if you order by December 18.
