How we picked

Every gift here is a product we've reviewed and scored 8.8 out of 10 or higher. Most men would rather have one thing that works well than three that don't, so we focused on upgrades to what he already carries and uses, plus a few gifts for his hobbies.

Christmas gifts for him: common questions

What's a good Christmas gift for my husband?

Upgrade something he uses every day: a ChargeCard wallet-sized power bank, a Groomie head shaver, the SoundCharge speaker-and-charger, or the SuperTorch if he lives in the garage. If he has everything, a Hajimari pickleball set gives him a new hobby.

What's a good Christmas gift for a boyfriend?

The Anything Speaker is a fun gadget that turns any surface into a speaker, the Tenikle mount is great if he films or travels, and the Pluxy grooming kit or a KeySmart make good smaller gifts.

What are good tech gifts for men?

The SoundCharge speaker that doubles as a MagSafe charger, Talky AI Buds if he travels (they translate 144+ languages), the Statik State magnetic power bank, and the SmartCard wallet tracker.

What's a good Christmas gift for him under $50?

The KeySmart, SmartCard, FlightPath golf tees, FIXD and the Whippy Charge cable are all under $50, and the Anything Speaker and Statik State are just under $50 at their official stores. Check each store for current holiday pricing.
