Unique Gift Ideas for Men (Even the Ones Who Have Everything)

Some guys are just impossible to shop for. You know the type - they’ve already got the latest tech, the classic watch, and probably a subscription to something artisanal. So what do you get the man who doesn’t need a thing? Something unexpected. Something considered. Something with character.

This one’s for anyone looking to gift their design-minded partners something they’ll actually use - and brag about just a little. Whether it’s for Father’s Day, a birthday, or just because he’s been carrying the groceries in like a champ, here’s your curated gift guide.

Let’s get into it.
