The most difficult person to shop for is my husband. There’s a lot of thought that goes into his gifts, but then when Christmas Day comes to open them, I feel like I didn’t do great at picking gifts. It’s not because my husband isn’t happy or grateful, but I always went the funnier route and eventually realized those funny, gag gifts were a waste of money. He goes all year without buying a single item for himself (besides golfing here and there), and here I am gifting him a Butt Putt Farting Game (that was hilarious, btw).
It’s important for me to choose the perfect gift for my husband because I want him to light up on Christmas too. As we get older, Christmas tends to become less and less magical, UNTIL you have kids. It’s special to be able to exchange gifts on Christmas morning as your kids are opening theirs.

Best Christmas Gifts for the Man Who Golfs
Your golf-loving husband probably just wants a nice day out playing 18 holes with the boys, but the gifts above are something he’d appreciate if you didn’t want to buy a gift card to his favorite golf course. Because a set of new golf clubs is not in our budget right now, my husband loves new golf clothes (he prefers this brand over all the others) or a pair of golf shoes. For the man in your life who already has enough golf wear, the REDTIGER Golf Range Finder has a high accuracy measurement and you can’t beat the price for all its great features! It can also be used for the man who enjoys hunting. For something sentimental, I chose a Best Dad tee.
Christmas Gifts for the Every Type of Guy
You can gift the man in your life these classic Crocs to get his day started off on the right foot! My brother-in-law loves his and pairs them with charms for the kids. I bought this travel mug for my husband because he desperately needed a new one for work. It’s huge and keeps his coffee hot for hours. This would also be great to take on camping trips! Then we have the good old 6-pack of T-shirts that will always be a go-to item. He can always use more.
Christmas Gifts for His Office
This floating MOVA globe is the perfect addition to an office for the man who has everything, or if you’re planning on only exchanging one gift because this beauty is pricey. For a more budget-friendly option, there’s this gorgeous sandscape for his office desk that looks like the ocean. He’ll see a different design everyday! For the man who works in an office all day, it’s also good to get him something for his tush. This cushion provides great support and helps reduce back pain.
Beach Christmas Gifts for Him
If your husband loves the smell of a salty breeze while fishing off the rocks with the view of the ocean, then get him some gear like this canvas fishing rod and reel organizer bag. This would also be great to just keep all his gear organized and out of the way of curious toddlers at home. Our daughter’s grandfather (Pap to her), loves rocking his Salt Life Crew Tee because he’s all about that beach life. Complete the look with a bucket hat and he’s ready to beat the sun while sleeping in a beach chair or catching nothing but sharks. If the dad in your life likes to fish, or your family already has your next beach trip planned, gift him a trendy bucket hat. They’ve gained popularity over the years and are still trendy in 2023.
Guitar-Playing Christmas Gifts for Him
The dad who plays guitar is definitely the cool dad and his baby will be ready to rock out with him sooner than later! The Snark Tuner is the #1 Best Seller in Music Tuning Accessories on Amazon and is a great last-minute gift on a budget. Combine it with a guitar stand or capo and these are great gifts on a budget for the musically talented husband. I also love Etsy for anything personalized. I bought my boyfriend a personalized vinyl print with song lyrics for his first Father’s Day gift and he loved it.
Christmas Gifts for the Millenial Man
Adidas tracksuits are just as relevant now as they were in the 90s and early 2000s. The millennial man will love lounging around the house or hitting the town feeling like he’s in The Sopranos. My husband is not a tracksuit type of guy, but he loves the simple black and white Adidas suit with the stripes above. Let’s also not forget he grew up with Tupac, a Rap God and lyrical poet. The Rose that Grew from Concrete is beautifully done and if your husband, boyfriend, dad, or even your grandfather is a fan of hip-hop this is a must-have! My friend let me borrow her copy and I ended up buying one for my younger brother and husband.
Christmas Gifts for the Gamer
Is the man in your life still a big kid at heart? These gifts are perfect for the gamer. Five years later, this Leather Lounging Floor Chair is still in the corner of our living room. The speakers are loud and make for an awesome gaming experience! It’s a very comfortable chair our daughter loves sitting in as well. If he’s due for a new set of headphones, go with Turtle Beach. Great sound quality and my husband was amazed at how lightweight and comfortable they were. And I could not leave off the Hogwarts Legacy on this gift guide. If he’s a Harry Potter nerd like us or just loves a game with a good quest, then gift him the Harry Potter game.
Christmas Gifts for Happy Hour
Do you have a man in your life who after a long day of work just wants to relax outside with a nice martini? That’s my father-in-law. This cocktail shaker set includes a cocktail shaker, ice tongs, muddler, bar spoon, strainer, bottle opener, and jigger complete with a cocktail recipe e-book and bamboo stand. He’s going to need a pair of Ray-Ban’s to really feel like the man. Let him soak up the sun in style with some attitude. And if he’s anything like my daughter’s Grandfather (Pap), he’s going to want to enjoy a cigar. For the price, this cigar case with the cutter is the perfect, budget-friendly gift for Christmas.
More Gifts for Every Type of Dad
Here are three more options for the every type of man that he’ll love. I bought my husband the Alexander Del Rossa Men’s Soft Plush Fleece Hooded Bathrobe — extra long in length and arms with a hood — and would highly recommend it. It’s super soft and he LOVES it. Or consider buying him a pair of shoes, like the Nautica Men’s Casual shoe. These are really nice shoes he can wear every day and are at a very reasonable price. You can never go wrong with a new pair of shoes, especially if you know his style and size. Last but certainly not least, Fossil watches are quality watches at a decent price. I bought this one for my husband for Christmas. The blue color with the brown leather band is gorgeous. Just an overall beautiful watch.
Whatever you buy the man in your life, the best gifts are those that reflect thoughtfulness, consideration, AND are gifts he wants or needs. However, rest assured that all he really wants is a nice, relaxing Christmas morning. Don’t rush through it. Make breakfast together and enjoy your coffee while you watch the kids play with their gifts.
