Gifts for him

Eleven gifts for him under $100, from a fitness tracker and a mouse to recovery slides and a keychain multi-tool, picked from hands-on tests and reviews by Wirecutter, PCMag, Men's Health, Treeline Review and Pack Hacker. Prices checked October 5, 2026. Match it to the man: for a desk job, the MX Master 3S mouse or the Space One headphones. For the runner, the Fitbit Inspire 3 and the Oofos slides. For the traveler, the lululemon belt bag and the Away toiletry bag. Two pairings under $100: the OneBlade and a pair of Mack Weldon boxer briefs come to about $74, and the Micra and the belt bag to about $88. Sizing: Oofos come in whole sizes only, and the maker tells men who wear a half size to order down. Mack Weldon runs S to XXL, and Coyuchi says to wash the robe before judging the fit. The Micra has a knife blade, so pack it in checked luggage. Ordered by how many independent tests each won or placed in, then by how well it suits most men, then by price.

Twelve gifts for him under $50, chosen from hands-on tests and reviews by Wirecutter, America's Test Kitchen, Serious Eats, Food & Wine, Tom's Guide and The Spruce Eats. Prices checked October 5, 2026. Match it to the guy. For the coffee drinker, the AeroPress, with the Zojirushi mug to carry it. For the cook, the Victorinox knife. For the whiskey or cocktail drinker, the Riedel rocks glasses or the Koriko shaking tins. For the commuter, the Owala bottle, EarFun earbuds or Etip gloves. For the guy with a beard, the OneBlade. For game night, Ticket to Ride. Mug or bottle? The Zojirushi is for hot coffee: it stays hot for hours and locks shut in a bag, but it's hand-wash only. The Owala is for cold water, with a straw, a lock and a shape that fits cupholders. Earbuds or speaker? The EarFun buds are waterproof enough for the gym, and the Tribit speaker is waterproof enough for the shower or the backyard. Sizing: the Etip gloves run XS to XXL, and testers disagree on fit, so measure his hand against The North Face's chart. Ordered by how many hands-on tests each won, then by how many independent reviewers recommend it, then by price.

Eleven useful gifts for him under $25, each a top pick in hands-on tests or reviews from Wirecutter, Serious Eats, CNN Underscored, OutdoorGearLab, Food & Wine, GearJunkie or The Pen Addict. Prices checked October 5, 2026. Match it to the guy. For the coffee drinker, the Hario V60. For the hiker or dog walker, the Carhartt beanie, Darn Tough socks and ThruNite flashlight. For the whiskey drinker, the Glencairn glasses if he sips it neat, the King Cube tray if he takes it on the rocks. For the commuter, the Repel umbrella. For the reader, the Glocusent light or the Pilot pen. For game night, Codenames. Pairs that work: the beanie and a pair of Darn Toughs come to about $45, the Glencairn glasses plus a King Cube tray about $30, and the Pilot pen with the book light about $38. Sizing: Darn Tough sizes its socks by shoe size, so check his against the brand's chart, and the beanie is one size that stretches.
