Giving him one gift is great, provided said gift is second to none. Two gifts? Better than one, we'd say. A basket full of gifts? Now we’re getting somewhere. A unique set of gifts that you can buy all at once makes shopping easier, and the occasion—be it a birthday, holiday, Earth Day, anything, really—more fun for him since there's got to be at least one thing in there he'll like and use. No matter how picky he is.
Truth be told, if you're a stickler for the "basket" part of a gift basket, you won't find much that screams cool from the limited search options. When you do choose to expand your mind beyond a basket to a box or set of goodies, then the fun begins. That's where you'll find all the makings of the ultimate charcuterie board, for example, or discover a DIY whiskey-making kit perfect for the mixologist-in-training. Here, we've uncovered the 22 best gift baskets for men—or gift boxes and gift sets—that'll click with guys who've got a stomach for everything, luxury tastes, or a thing for cool gear and gadgets. If you're lucky, maybe they'll share.
