A gift card counts, but it will not be remembered. These 55 picks will. > While a gift card technically counts as a present, we think our picks are more memorable. ## Bluetooth for plane screens The $35 Twelve South AirFly SE plugs into a seatback screen so he can watch movies through his own earbuds. Editor Hannah Oh does not know how she flew without it. ## Beer, but creamy The Fizzics DraftPour, $130, takes a regular can and gives it a micro-foam head like a draft pour. For the guy who treats himself to a cold one. ## Fidget toys for suits The Executive Fidget Set runs $150 and comes in silver with a sleek gift box. Built for the corporate office-dweller who taps a pen through every meeting. > Fidget toys, but make them cool and executive. ## Small flexes under $200 Shanker's Angry Golfer socks are $10 and hit the sophisticated-to-fun ratio. The David Yurman box chain bracelet, $195, adds polish over a T-shirt or a jacket. > Frosting is for the guys, too. ## Skincare without the sting Marlowe's $58 men's set skips added fragrance, so it works on sensitive skin. Shea butter and aloe do the cleaning without leaving his face tight. ## One really good hoodie Lululemon's Steady State SuperLoft pullover, $108, is roomy, sturdy, and lined in extra-soft fleece. Eleven colors, and it earns its closet space. ## A remote for reading The $16 DATAFY page turner clips a receiver onto his e-reader or phone so he can click through pages from across the couch. It doubles as a camera shutter. ## The shoe everyone owns HOKA's Challenger 8, about $155, is built for trails but reads as street style. The cloud-like midsole and chunky shape are the whole appeal. > Every hot person you know owns a pair of HOKAs. ## Retire the manual brush The Aquasonic Black Series PRO is $60 with built-in timers and five modes. If he has never used an electric toothbrush, this is a gift he will actually use twice a day. ## Joggers that hold him up Forme's Smart Joggers are 41% off at $148. The high waistband is designed to support his lower back and core, stabilizing posture without feeling like a brace. > These joggers are working just as hard as he is. ## Loud, tiny, waterproof The JBL Clip 5 is down to $70. Hannah Oh left hers outside through a week of sun and pouring rain and it still worked perfectly. ## Nineteen tools, one pocket The Leatherman Signal, $150, opens bottles at the barbecue, tightens loose screws, and earns its keep on camping trips. > There's something about a Leatherman multi-tool that makes people feel ready for anything. ## Turn his phone console The Backbone One, $80, snaps onto an iPhone or Android and becomes a real game controller. No console, no setup, instant gaming. ## LEGO he will display LEGO's Hokusai Great Wave set is $100. Hours of building, and the finished piece looks good enough to hang on a wall instead of hiding in the basement. ## Twelve photos, twelve months Artifact Uprising's personalized photo calendar is 20% off at $28. Upload pictures of friends and family and he gets a small reminder of them all year. ## The sweater he keeps Paka's Original Crew, $159, is handmade in Peru and machine washable on cold. Air dry it, and it becomes the winter sweater he reaches for first. ## Truffle hot sauce trio TRUFF's variety pack is $60 for white truffle, original black truffle, and jalapeño lime. Editor Jessica Dukes says the white one is hot enough to still taste the spices. ## His team, hardbound The New York Times Baseball History Book is $90 and comes in 31 team editions, including the Brooklyn Dodgers. Pick his franchise and you are done. ## The big-swing splurge Oura Ring 5 is $399. It is 40% thinner than the last model, runs up to nine days per charge, and reads sleep, temperature, activity, and heart rate more precisely. ## Key takeaway "Surprise him" is not a dead end. Pick something he uses daily, like travel tech, a good hoodie, or an upgraded version of a thing he already owns.
