We get it — guys are hard to shop for, especially if they aren’t the type to drop hints. Whether it’s a new boo or someone you’ve been with for years, shopping never seems to get any easier — but that’s where the Best Products team comes in. We’ve scoured dozens of product reviews and have our own vast review knowledge of so many products that are trending on the market right now. They said it couldn’t be done, but we’ve made it EASY to shop for the man in your life. You can thank us later.

When shopping for your boyfriend, it’s a great idea to consider what his interests are. If he likes being outdoors, that’s a great place to start. If he’s been talking about going hiking, you can opt to pick him up something in that realm. Another great idea is to think about what he needs or wants just by noticing what’s missing. Does he use the same old single-serve coffee pot that he’s had since college? Consider upgrading him with a fancy espresso machine.

Whether your boyfriend is into making delicious, hand-crafted cocktails at home, loves anything to do with the outdoors, or needs a serious wardrobe revamp (hey, you can disguise it as a gift!), we have 42 ideas on the best boyfriend gifts on the market so you can seriously spoil your sweetie with something he never knew he wanted for Valentine's Day and beyond.

It’s time your boyfriend gets a major caffeine upgrade. This is the smallest Nespresso Verturo model that’s available, and you can pick it up in one of nine different colors.

Boxer Brief

One of my best friend’s boyfriends just requested Skims underwear after the NBA announced its official partnership with the brand, so it’s safe to say this is a gift that’s on guys’ minds. Grab a single boxer brief in sizes XS-5X, or opt for a pack to save a little bit of money.

Though sizes and styles sell out frequently on Skims, you can set up an alert that’ll let you know when a restock is happening. And be sure to keep your eyes peeled for their bi-annual sales!

College Cityscape Rocks Glasses

This is the perfect gift for a boyfriend if you met each other at the same college, but even if you met post-college, it’s a great nod to where he’s been. A nostalgic gift is a great way to go if you’re unsure what to gift someone. This set is more subtle and doesn’t feature any loud college logos or mascots but rather, it’s a classy nod to the city where he went to school.

Miami Beach Coffee Table Book

Assouline books are more than just information books on the chosen city — they’re a statement all on their own.

Give his trimmer a much-needed upgrade with this all-in-one model. This 23-piece set can handle all his trimming needs, from his hair, face, and even body. It has a durable steel frame, self-sharpening blades, and 14 reinforced guards. This rechargeable cordless trimmer has a runtime of up to 5 hours and is fully washable for easy maintenance.

Foldable Helmet

For daily bike, skateboard, or scooter commuters, safety is key. Carrying a bulky helmet into the office doesn't always feel worth it, though. This helmet is a great gift for your boyfriend because it is sleek and stylish, and it also collapses down to save space.

It fits in his bag when he doesn't need it, all without compromising the structure and safety of the helmet.

Waterproof Extreme Cold Weather Glove

When you’re not around to hold and keep his hands warm, these waterproof insulated gloves are the next best thing. Its durable three-layer construction and goat-leather palm for improved grip make it well worth the price. From walking the dog to winter hiking, this gift for your boyfriend will keep his digits from turning into icicles.

Beard Kit for Men

He’s been spending months growing out his beard, but his maintenance game can use some work. That’s where the Isner Mile Beard kit comes in.

This beard kit has everything he’ll need to take his beard to the next level, including a stainless steel razor, stainless steel scissors, beard conditioner oil, a beard comb, and a storage bag, amongst other grooming essentials.

Relaxed Fit Detroit Jacket

If he practically lives in a hoodie, add some variety to his outerwear collection with this gift for your boyfriend. While the corduroy-trimmed collar is a stylish touch, this insulated jacket from Carhartt is also functional with its multiple pockets for storage and blanket lining for extra warmth.

Jerky Heart

Skip the traditional box of chocolates this Valentine's Day and surprise your meat-loving boo with this jerky-filled heart. Don’t be fooled! This isn’t your average beef jerky. His taste buds are in for a tasty treat thanks to flavors that pack a punch, like a whiskey maple, sesame ginger, and root beer habanero.

Shave Starter Set

Upgrade his shaving situation with this starter set. This limited-edition chrome razor is made of stainless steel and perfectly weighted, so he won’t need to apply pressure to achieve a smooth shave. Plus, since the blades are infinitely replaceable, he can reduce waste and ditch those disposable razors for an eco-friendly gift for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, and everything in between.

Wool Runner-up Mizzles

These high-top sneakers are as chic as a boot without all of the bulk. Despite their knitted look, these shoes actually repel water, keeping his feet dry on rainy or snowy days. If they get really nasty, he can throw them in the washing machine with no issues.

Sunday Lounge Pant

Don’t let the formal look of these trousers fool you — they’re secretly cozy sweatpants. It’s a Valentine's Day gift he’ll actually wear. They’ll look equally sharp with a dressy button-down or graphic T-shirt and feature a comfy flannel material that’s incredibly soft yet stylish.

Hammock

Outdoorsy dudes will appreciate the versatility of this hang-anywhere hammock. Not only is it super easy to hang, but it folds up into a small bag to make carrying it on hikes and camping trips a breeze. It's also big enough to comfortably fit two people if you'd like to cuddle by the campfire.

Stoggles Round

If he works in a field that requires protective eyewear (like healthcare or even carpentry), then he knows how annoyingly foggy (and ugly) those glasses can be.

Stoggles creates eyewear that keeps you safe and looks amazing. You can even have his prescription inserted into the lenses: That way, he doesn't have to double up on pairs.

Hyperlite Sheets

Hot sleepers will appreciate this lightweight bedding. It’s made from breathable Lyocell material that helps wick away heat and sweat for a good night’s sleep. Plus, these sheets are available in three different colors (gray, navy, and white), so there are plenty of options to fit his décor.

Fogless Shower Mirror

If he shaves in the shower, this mirror is a great gift for your boyfriend. An in-shower mirror not only allows him to see where he’s trimming and shaping his beard, but it’ll guarantee he gets the shave he wants. This one sticks right to his shower wall, and it won’t fog up, even if he prefers hot showers.

There’s even a built-in squeegee to remove water droplets from the mirror (to prevent them from drying on after he’s done).

Sunday Performance Jogger

Sure, sweatpants may not be dressy enough for every occasion, but when they look this polished, they come close. The jogger silhouette dresses up the cozy staple, and we're huge fans of this tobacco-brown color. He'll love the soft fabric and extra zip pocket, too.

Hand-Woven Mexican Blanket

Celebrate V-Day by bundling your boo up in a multiuse blanket that he can use for camping, on a picnic, or at the beach. It's handmade by artisans on a traditional wooden loom, and although it's made entirely out of recycled materials, it's soft enough for snuggling.

Essential Apron

If he’s a pro in the kitchen, then he’ll appreciate this apron from Hedley & Bennett. It’s made from heavy-duty canvas that will protect his clothes and give him a surface to wipe his dirty hands on while cooking. Even the color is inspired by cooking — the “char” gray apron takes from the color of charcoal and grill lines on perfectly cooked food.

Mini Cork Globe

Celebrate the holiday of love and map your travels together with this mini cork globe. It comes with 50 colorful push pins to keep track of destinations around the world, and it'll serve as a cool desk decoration, too.

Planning a trip together? A suitcase from Away is the gift he can use over and over again. It's made from an unbreakable hard shell, and it has a built-in charger that can power up laptops and iPhones on the go. (Plus, it's TSA-compliant!)

Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag

The Landon Neoprene carryall bag by Dagne Dover is boyfriend-approved — the reviews even say so. It's the perfect size for both travel and trips to the gym, and it even features a separate shoe bag, so dirty sneakers never touch clean clothes. Genius!
