    Looking for the perfect gifts for the hard to shop for man in your life?

    I sat down to brainstorm Christmas gift ideas last year, and after about fifteen minutes, I looked at my list and all the women had ideas next to them (multiple ideas, really)...but the men? Nothing.

    I don't know about you, but often the men in my life are the hardest to buy for.

    My husband, dad, father-in-law, brother, brothers-in-law...why are they all so hard to buy gifts for?

    This post is for me as much as it is for you, my friend. But I'm hoping it can help us all not stay spinning around those hard-to-shop-for men in our lives...whether that's for Father's Day, Christmas, or their birthday.

    The links below will take you to one of a few different places:

    • Uncommon Goods (a super fun gift website I love browsing for ideas)
    • Amazon (for convenience)
    • Cratejoy - for subscription boxes of all shapes and sizes
    • Other online places I like shopping for gifts

    Here's a massive list of 50+ unique gifts for the hard to shop for man in your life

    For the tech lovers

    If the man in your life is always on his phone, tablet, or computer - he's a tech lover. And that means he's probably pretty difficult to buy gifts for. But don't worry, I've got you covered.

    • Nightstand Organizer Bundle
    • Portable bluetooth speaker
    • Smart outlets
    • Wireless charger
    • Noise cancelling earbuds
    • Mini projector for outdoor movie night
    • App Controlled Heated Coffee Mug
    • New phone case or tablet

    For the outdoorsy man

    Outdoorsy men are probably the easiest type of man to buy gifts for. They are constantly in need of new gear, whether it's for fishing, hiking, camping, or just working around the house.

    • Charcoal body bar
    • North American Bird Call Set
    • Freestone Fly Fishing Company subscription box
    • Golf Gear Box or a new set of golf clubs
    • National Park Adventure Tees
    • A new fishing rod and reel
    • Hiking backpack
    • Gas grill or smoker

    For the spicy food lover

    If the man in your life loves spicy food, then him and my husband could be good friends. My husband practically puts hot sauce on everything.

    • Around the World Spicy Nut Collection
    • Hot Sauce Subscription (Two bottles/month)
    • Hot Stuff Box - Bi-monthly spicy food box filled with artisanal fiery goods.
    • Tickets to a chili cooking competition
    • A book on the history of spice (if he also likes learning :)).

    For the man with the office job (or work from home job)

    If the man in your life is always working, then he might appreciate a gift that makes his work life easier or more enjoyable.

    • App Controlled Heated Coffee Mug
    • Noise cancelling earbuds
    • Standing Desk - Adjustable Height
    • A new office chair
    • A new laptop or tablet

    For the entertainer

    Entertaining can be a lot of work - from planning the event to setting up and then cleaning up afterwards. If the man in your life enjoys entertaining, he might appreciate a gift that makes entertaining easier.

    • Cold Beer Coats
    • Dry Farm Wines - natural, additive free, low sugar (or no sugar) wines
    • Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker
    • Beeropoly
    • Pistachio Pedestal

    For the coffee enthusiast

    Does he love coffee? Here are a few coffee related ideas.

    • Sseko coffee + mugs - fair trade coffee that gives job opportunities to women in Uganda.
    • Espresso machine - This one has over 18,000 reviews with a 4.5 star rating!
    • Frother - This works AMAZING for anything you want frothed, coffee included.
    • Burr grinder - apparently these grind the beans a little better (according to my coffee loving husband)
    • If you can read this...bring me some coffee socks
    • Pour Over Coffee Maker
    • App Controlled Heated Coffee Mug

    For the cook

    If your man likes to cook, help him step up his game with a new kitchen gadget.

    • Smart Meat Thermometer - this would be great for the techy cook
    • Molecular Gastronomy Kit
    • Grill Cooking Set for Smoking
    • Piquant Post spice subscription
    • Stainless Steel Gas Pizza Grilling Kit
    • A quality knife is always a good idea

    Other ideas

    If it comes down to it, you can never go wrong with a gift card to his favorite spot. But here's a few final ideas to get your brain going.

    • The ManBox
    • Silver Swag Box - For senior citizens in your life
    • Story Worth - for someone you want to capture their story
    • Geeky T-Shirt Club
    • Word Teasers - Dad Joke cards
    • Amazon Gift Card
