Are we all in agreement that finding good gifts for men gets harder every year? It doesn’t matter whether we’re buying a Father’s Day gift for our dad, stepdad, grandad, or other father figure; the note on our phone labelled ‘gift ideas’ permanently consists of posh socks, chocolates, and perhaps a couple of trending gadgets — if he’s lucky.
Essentially, when it comes to finding great gifts for our favourite fellas, we could all do with some inspo to save stress shopping at the last minute (yes, we’re speaking from experience). And TBH, even if you aren’t thinking about Dad’s Day just yet — after all, this year it falls on 15th June, so you’ve got time — it’s likely your parent probably has a birthday in the coming months you need to buy a separate present for.
Thankfully, we’ve tasked our shopping writers with scouring the men’s sections of all our favourite sites to pull together this editor-approved guide to the best gifts for men — which we ran past our boyfriends, husbands, dads and step-fathers to ensure they approved. From keepsake personalised gifts for your Dad to gadgets for gamers that also make great birthday gifts, luxe foodie gifts for your home chef, to grooming gifts for him, you’ll find suggestions for every kind of guy.

How we chose the best gifts for men:
Here at GLAMOUR, we don’t do anything by halves. Our research began by quizzing various men – specifically our dads and father figures – for their valuable insight on the best gifts they’d ever received. We also requested a quick look at their wishlists to see what they would like to find beneath our (expert) wrapping this year.
After clocking up a fairly lengthy list, we got our hands on as many samples as we could to consider the following of each: product quality, quantity, aesthetics, price, and value for money. Unsurprisingly, the items that didn’t impress or we wouldn’t actually gift to our loved ones haven’t been included in this list.
