31 Gifts for Men Under $50 That Are Truly GoodLucchese


"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Let's be honest, gifts for men don't really need to be over $50. You want something luxury? The hottest tech or the best gadgets? A cute stocking stuffer or a bottle of whiskey? Get a job! You're a man. Why are we, as men, sending out Amazon wishlists or links to Esquire's editor-picked gifts and Christmas best-sellers (both great resources). If you want something, grind harder and buy it yourself.

Ok, jokes aside, sometimes you just don't need to spend big on gifts. But, if that's your situation, it can feel tough to get something special, something that'll wow him. But don't worry, our gift giving expert editors did all the work for you. Below are 31 gifts under $50 that are just as good, just as useful, just as heartwarming as anything you'd spend a paycheck on.
