Gifts for the Man that Has It All
Looking for gifts for the man that has it all? Whether it’s Father’s day, birthday, or holidays, I’ve got you covered with these fabulous finds and gift ideas! This post contains affiliate links and gifted product.qu
Why are men so hard to buy for?! When it comes to gifting ideas for Mother’s Day or for any of my own celebrations, anything pretty will work for me! But for men? Unless you have the ability to lay down five figures on a designer watch, it can be so hard!
And then go and try to find gifts for the man that has it all… you know that guy who just buys it if he feels like he wants it! So what do you buy for him?
Whether it’s Father’s Day (the inspiration for this post), birthday, anniversary, or holiday, these gifts for the man that has it all focus on a few elements that make them giftable!
Some are unique and innovative, some are just straight-up problem solvers that he might not have known about (and you might not either – which is why I’m sharing them here!) Some are luxurious versions of more basic items. And I included some “grown-up toys” too that are perfect for the guy that likes to have fun.
Whatever makes most sense for your guy makes the perfect gift for the man that has it all!
Tips for finding gifts for the man that has it all
A good gift is the one that is right for the man in your life. It fits in with his interests, preferences, and lifestyle. I tried to include a “perfect for” note on each of these gifts for the man that has it all so that you can really figure if it’s the right fit.
So while I loosely categorized these to make the idea list more skimmable, also read the bolded “best for:” tip – it’ll really help!
I recommend starting with a loose budget. I have ideas here up to a few hundred dollars – as well as under 20. Then look for broad interest. The table of contents above is clickable so that you can more easily browse.
Another tip for getting gifts for the man that has it all: don’t worry so much! If it’s a nice and thoughtful gift that generally fits with his lifestyle, then the gifting is its own kind gesture.
Skim the list and if there’s something that “clicks” and fits with your budget, go for that. And if it’s not that easy, think a little deeper into how he spends his day, what makes him relax, what he enjoys doing with is loved ones…
Meanwhile, I hope these ideas help! These gifts for the man that has it all come almost exclusively from small businesses!
Just a reminder that the gift that is right for one person isn’t for the next. Even when things are very similar: does Dad drink his coffee hot or cold? Is he a dress-up or dress-down kind of guy?
While I actively reviewed and assessed each one, my husband gave feedback and insights on what to include, what makes great gifts for the man that has it all, and what he thinks of them!
Who said men can’t have fun?
Maybe one of the issues we have with gifts for me is that we think too seriously? Enough with the ties! These gifts are for the man who likes to have a little fun at home, the kidult, or anyone who will enjoy a recreational gift that would have made his 12-16 year old self so happy – but still has all that grown-up appeal.
3Doodler Flow
Best for: the doodler who enjoys a little tinkering too.
I’m a longtime 3Doodler user – and remember when they invented the 3D pen. This unique gadget allows you to draw – but with plastic filaments instead of ink, to make real-life functional art.
Despite the accessibility of 3D printers, there’s something unique about the 3D pen! It gives you a hands-on approach – no designing or computer needed – just doodle. Once he builds up some basic 3doodling skills, he’ll be able to make much more advanced creations too.
For the man who enjoys making functional creations – labeling his keys, making little toys for the kids, creating themed figurines – the 3Doodler Flow is perfect. They upgraded their flagship model to use rolls of filament rather than sticks, and the pen comes with everything he’ll need to get started doodling.
3Doodler Pro
Best for: the creative man who really enjoys making things with his hands!
This more advanced version of the 3Doodler is the one I’ll recommend for the man who’s a bit more of a maker! It uses much more material types (wood, PLA, PHA, copper filaments, etc) and has more setting options as well as more fine-tuned speed controls. It also comes with different tip types. As a relatively novice 3Doodler myself, I love the ability to go faster with a wider flow!
Craft sculptures, jewelry, toys, home repairs, models, art… For the creative man this is like an illustration marker only you make real stuff!
There are loads of YouTube videos to help him build up his skills, and the 3Doodler Pro even comes with a base to work off of.
Again, one of my favorite things about the 3Doodler is that instead of having to plan a design before getting into the creating process, you dive right into crafting and can fix things as you go along. For the problem solver and DIYer, this is a win!
Would You Rather (From History) Card Game
Best for: The history geek or self-proclaimed political commentator. Use coupon code MOMSANDCRAFTERS for 10% off any game from Fun Fact Co.
Most history games are fact and knowledge based but this one is unique. Would You Rather? (from history) by Fun Fact Co is more of an analysis game – where would you rather place yourself in history?
Which bad scenario do you think would have better long term outcome? Which turbulent historical era would you rather have lived through? It’s a game that’ll generate lots of conversation – especially from the guy that has strong opinions!
I love this game for those moments that benefit from some conversation starters and good-natured arguing, and this game is fabulous for the professional debater – who’s not afraid to share his controversial take!

LEGO Superman Keychain Light
Best for: The Superdad or DC Comics fan!
If you’re looking for a small-but-mighty gift, this LEGO Superman keychain is such a perfect gift – especially for Father’s Day (or Dad any day).
When looking for a gift for the man who has it all, you may be intimidated by thinking that you’ll need to break the bank, but a small but totally unique gift like this is meaningful and so sweet.
It’s not just fun for Superman fans, it’s also got a flashlight – the feet light up when you push the stomach!
While I had in mind as a fun gift for a Superdad, it’s fabulous for anyone who enjoys Superman, LEGO, or both!
Get Him a Little (or big) Something to Drink
When looking around for gifts for the man that has it all, you’d think that all men do is drink. That’s because it’s kind of true! Or at least it feels this way…
Whether he prefers something with a little buzz or a caffeinated boost, ditch the ceramic mug that says “#1 DAD” and go for these unique finds instead.
Each one serves an original function, and some of these can go great bundled together. Once again, read my “best for” tip to help you figure out which is the best for YOUR man.
Dragon Glassware x Yellowstone Glass Tumblers
Best for: Yellowstone fanatics!
Okay, here’s the deal: I don’t even watch Yellowstone (I watched like one episode and moved on) but if your guy does these tumblers are a WIN! I mean, I love them without watching Yellowstone!
Perfect for iced coffee (but great for other drinks too), they feature subtly colored (neutral amber and gray) ribbed glass and are just gorgeous. The glass straw is a stronger version of the glass color.
It features a leatherette sleeve embossed with the Yellowstone logo in one of the classiest and untackiest (yes, I’m using that even if it’s not a word) licensed bits I’ve seen. And my favorite part: it closes! The lid has a gulper section and a straw hole and they both actually seal shut.
GoodCook Koffe Stainless Steel French Press
Best for: Hot coffee Connoisseurs that enjoys handsome counter decor
This sleek French Press from GoodCook’s Koffe line shows that you can get form AND function in one handsome package!
The stainless steel coffee maker makes eight cups of hot coffee at once – the perfect amount for a small crowd. French Press is my favorite way to make coffee for a small crowd. The fine mesh filter keeps out the grinds, and it’s a low-tech and efficient way to make good, smooth coffee.
You can brew it for as long as you’d like, and it’s insulated, keeping it hot for multiple drinkers.
And just look at how gorgeous it is! Whether he’s living in his mancave, or he needs to concede some design decisions to her, this French press is going to be a winner.
ZULU Athletic – Goals Mammoth 101oz Stainless Steel Bottle
Best for: the guy who needs his hydration – and needs it cold!
Whether he’s an athlete, enjoys hiking, or just drinks a lot of water, the Zulu Goals Mammoth water bottle is just that – mammoth! It’s about as large as you can get without going for a full gallon.
He can fit his whole day’s worth of water in the bottle, and then choose from gulper or straw spouts (and switch them if he wants!) Both are leakproof.
And it even has a handle so that he can lug it around.
I love that the base is actually covered in silicone, protecting it from dents, especially given its size. And yes, it keeps drinks cold for a very long time!
Lardera Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Best for: the man who likes his coffee iced – and super smooth!
Not all iced coffee is the same, as cold-brew fanatics will tell you. If the man in your life likes his coffee cold, go ahead and introduce him to cold brew – for the smoothest, least acidic method of brewing coffee that I’ve personally tried. And if he already loves his cold brew – introduce him to making his own using the Lardera Cold Brew Coffee Maker.
The mesh insert does a fabulous job at containing those grounds, and unlike others I’ve tried, this one doesn’t have an opening at the top for grounds to escape from – it’s totally sealed!
The size is perfect for storing in the fridge and it makes about a week’s worth of cold brew for me.
All the details are in this one – from the flat and sleek lid, to the silicone grip that ensures you can pour it easily when it’s cold. Here’s to better cups of coffee!
For the Connoisseur
When men do food, they do it right – just ask my husband! If you have a guy in your life who likes his food just right, go ahead and give him one of these “foodie” gifts.
Whether he’s a drink connoisseur and only drinks his whiskey in the finest glasses, or he likes to drink an Old Fashioned, whether he’s the one who teaches you how to properly wash his cast iron, or he measures his ingredients in grams, these gifts are spot on for the man that has i tall.
Saludi Smoky Whiskey Glasses
Best for: Enjoys a drink with friends – and has class!
I mean, how gorgeous are these smokey whiskey glasses? I couldn’t just take one set of photos – I had to show them to you in different lighting settings! They are a subtle greige tint with that hint of color that’s unique but not quite “colorful”.
Husband’s favorite part of this? Each glass has its own design! Not only does that look gorgeous in your bar cabinet, but it serves a practical purpose: when you get together, everyone can recognize their glass.
It’s handcrafted with care and durable enough for real life. So, for the social drinker, the one that drinks his whiskey from a glass? This set of four whiskey glasses from Saludi is one of my favorite gifts for the man that has it all.
Crafthouse by Fortessa Smoking Cloche
Best for: he doesn’t just pour a drink – he crafts it.
You know those guys who don’t just pour a drink, they craft one? Whether he’s the kind of guy who likes an old-fashioned, or he pores over unique cocktails, this smoking cloche from Crafthouse by Fortessa is a luxurious addition to his bar setup.
Just connect the included smoking gun, fill it with wood chips – or any other smoking-friendly medium – and add that smoky flavor! Yes, you can use it for small food items, and the smoking gun disconnects and can be used for food in larger dishes as well.
The wood base with the glass dome looks fabulous displayed in an open bar or buffet setup – doubling as decor as well.
Smithey Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Polished Inside
Best for: He cooks – and when he does, he does it right. Maybe he’s even the sourdough maker in the house…
My husband doesn’t cook, but he has very specific things that he makes, including the sourdough. And the things that he makes, he makes just so.
Smithey’s Cast Iron Dutch Oven is unique: it has a polished inside that makes maintenance much easier. Plus, like everything else Smithey, it’s jaw-dropping gorgeous. I mean display-on-a-shelf and not in a cabinet gorgeous. Or just leave it on the stovetop…
So if your man who has it all enjoys making stews, braising meats, or baking artisan breads, this is a fabulous, luxurious gift idea. It’s build to last literally forever, made in the USA, features a stainless steel knob that is ovenproof, and is a win.
The lid has channels that redirects moisture to the dish, and the non-stick inside is what really sets this apart.
Unique but Practical Gifts for the Man Who Has It All
If you’re trying to buy something for the kind of guy who’s just too practical to really gift anything luxurious, you need to start thinking unique! Think of those everyday problem solvers that are super functional but have a unique twist!
Uniball Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencils
Best for: the man who jots things down IRL!
For as long as I can remember, my father kept a high quality pencil and pad in his shirt pocket to jot down any and all important things. He still does things this way. Uniball majorly leveled up the mechanical pencil game with their Kuru Toga line, and it’s pefect for the guy who still pencils it in – or anyone who appreciates premium writing instruments.
While most mechanical pencils give you a blunt tip to write with, Kuru Toga features an internal rotating engine that sharpens the lead. And Uniball’s diamond infused lead is stronger and darker than typical lead. You can gift these individually or as a set.
Quartet Glass Dry Erase Desktop Computer Pad
Best for: the man whose office is his zone!
That zone between the keyboard and the monitor can often be “dead zone”. On the one hand, you don’t want to keep things there – it’s too close to the keyboard – on the other hand it’s prime desk real-estate. And if you don’t use that space, it’s a magnet for clutter.
Quartet creates various solutions for that zone, in the form of dry erase boards with organizers! They are sleek and the perfect spot for jotting quick notes – like phone numbers, in-your-face reminders, top priorities for the day…
Because it has a glass surface, it looks super modern and sleek – and it wipes clean very easily, minus the stains that your typical whiteboard gets in a minute. It has a slide-out drawer for stashing some office supplies, and it has a groove at the top for markers. And the angled surface leans towards the computer chair for easier viewing and writing.
Titan by Arctic Zone 24 Can Backpack Cooler
Best for: the man who enjoys a fun day out.
POV: He loves a good day out, but hates lugging all the drinks. The Titan 24 Can backpack cooler makes the cold drink toting much easier! It keeps ice for up to two days thanks to the insulation with a radiant heat barrier and triple layer ColdBlock base, allowing him to really rely on it – not only to keep his drinks cold, but to keep his meat sandwich fresh too.
While it can hold up to 24 cans, for me that’s just a good capacity gauge, as you can use it for so much more. It’s a fabulous solution as an outdoor adventure backpack, with additional pockets for storage. He can use it for trips to the beach, days in the city, tailgating, and more!
It features a smooth, wipeable surface and looks so high end!
Wad-Free Bedsheet Detangler
Best for: the dude who does all the housework.
You know that feeling when you go to take your bedsheets out of the dryer two days after you washed it and… well, whoops! It wasn’t quite dry because it got all twisted?
Wad-free created this brilliant low-tech gadget that holds your bedsheets at all four corners so that it doesn’t twist.
I think that this is the perfect inexpensive and practical gift for the man who has it all – specifically a bachelor, stay-at-home Dad, older man, or anyone who is responsible for the bulk of the housework and laundry.
Luxurious Apparel & Accessories Gifts for the Man Who Has it All
One of my favorite gifts to buy my husband is wearables – but to make them giftable, we step it up a notch! These high fashion and luxurious picks are great gifts for the man who has it all – because who can’t use another shirt?
Surfside Joey Slub Island Shirt
Best for: the business casual who appreciates comfort
The Joey Slub Island shirt from Surfside Supply Co has a gorgeous, light, breathable cotton weave. It’s one of those linen-look shirts that it timeless, and can look dressed up or beachy, depending on what you wear it with.
My husband was super impressed by the stitching that shows quality and even the soft color of the buttons show attention to detail. And who doesn’t love a shirt that won’t make him sweat on the hottest summer days?
It looks fabulous tucked or untucked, thanks to the gentle scoop of the hem. We found that it fits true to size and washes well, and comes in timeless, classy colors.
Happy Patina Leather Wallet Gift Bundle and Care Kit
Best for: the man who appreciates a good leather craft.
Even men who don’t consider themselves very creative themselves often appreciate luxurious leather goods, and HappyPatina handcrafts those for the man in your life!
The EDC kit comes with a beautifully stitched bifold wallet as a main feature, along with a key fob, wristband, and leather care kit.
It’s made of gorgeous vegetable tanned leather and features instructions for caring for it as well. The care products are all natural, and it comes in a ready-to-gift boxed set for a gift that’s more than just another wallet!
CPSlippers Leather Hotel Slippers
Best for: The man who wants to free his feet.
Shoes constrain the feet, and for some people that just won’t work.
Whether his feet simply need a break, or he has a house where shoes are removed, comfy slippers are especially important. Yes, the man that has it all needs a pair that suits him!
CPSlippers hand stitches minimalist slippers, that work as “barefoot slippers” around the house.
The luxe version adds a cork sole for the man that needs a little more. They come in a large variety of colors for any style, and do need to be broken into for maximum comfort.
I hope these gifts for the man that has it all has been helpful. Are men really that hard to buy for? Or do we just need to start thinking outside the box? Comment below with your ideas!
