Depending on your relationship, dudes can be difficult to shop for. What does Mark from human resources want for a gift? What should you buy for your girlfriend’s father that wouldn’t seem weird? What about your brother’s boyfriend? Or the guy who’s not technically your father, but a father figure nonetheless?

Luckily, gift sets for men exist. These are a huge energy (and brain) saver, which can be especially handy if you’re not super close with the person you’re shopping for.
Alcohol and whiskey-related gift boxes are a classic (confirm the receiver drinks alcohol first), as are gift baskets themed around personal grooming (it’s impossible to turn down anything sandalwood scented).

6. Sláinte Irish Coffee Gift Set
For the lovable coffee snob in your life, or anyone who just loves a really good Irish Coffee, they should be making it the right way. This gift set from Bespoke Post has everything they need to brew up a perfect cup — no whiskey required (we promise you won’t miss it). The coffee itself is hand-roasted in Ireland and aged in the same oak barrels used to make some of Ireland’s best whiskey, giving the beans a subtle smokey flavor. You’ll also get all the accouterment, including caramel-sweet Demerara syrup, a cork coffee dripper and filter papers, whole nutmeg seeds and a specialty nutmeg grater, and two clear Declan coffee mugs to sip and savor their fine creation.

What Makes a Good Gift Set for Men?
When looking for a gift that seems thoughtful but not inappropriately intimate, we have a few standbys.
Alcohol Related: Whiskey stones, cocktail sets, beer-of-the-month clubs, all are crowd-pleasers that say, “You can hang and we’re buds,” but not, “I feel that we have a much closer relationship than we actually do.”
Personal Grooming: Bath products and beard grooming sets are usually winners, especially if you know the recipient is a fan of skincare products in general. That said it can be easy to overstep here, so save the bath bombs for someone you know for a fact will appreciate it.
Accessories: We like accessory sets for watches, belts, cufflinks, and more, but only for someone you have a romantic relationship with or a close blood tie. Mark from HR might be a bit freaked if you want to start dressing him.
