As much as you love your fella, finding the best gifts for husbands is notoriously tough. (He’s probably claiming he doesn’t want anything, right?). So what’s a loving partner to do when you need gift ideas for men that won’t just become clutter? While there are no rules, in our experience you can’t go wrong if you stick to these buckets: something useful, something he actually wants (yes, grown-ups still like toys), an experience you can share together, or a good old fashioned surprise (think: silly socks customized with your cat’s face on them that’ll just plain delight him). To find the best options in these categories, we went straight to source, getting recommendations from Glamour editors (and our hubbies), testing those viral TikTok products he’s probably seen on his feed, and asking dudes what’s really topping their wish lists—then we narrowed them down to the absolute best (and trendiest) picks for his birthday, Valentine’s Day, and beyond.
If you’re shopping for Mr. Romantic, a unique matchbook embossed with your anniversary date or a retro Viewfinder loaded with pictures of your most cherished memories are super thoughtful but also unexpected tokens from a wife. (“After 18 years with my husband, I practically ran out of ideas and these two were huge hits recently,” says Glamour’s commerce director Brie Schwartz). Need a gift for a new dad? We suggest a neck massager, since carrying babies can take a toll. And if he likes to spice things up, the hot sauce set is always a popular choice. No matter which direction you go, these gifts won’t disappoint.
