During the Holiday season, I always hear the same comment, “men are so hard to shop for.” But honestly, I feel like they can fit into a few categories, and if you figure out what type of guy you’re shopping for, it’s easy from there.

Fashion

Streetwear

Some of the guys I’m friends with who are into fashion really like Stüssy and Saint 777, which are trendy without requiring a lot of effort. You also can’t go wrong with high-quality basics like button-downs or cashmere sweaters from Abercrombie.

Comfy Sweats

Most guys wear sweats, so this is always an easy choice. Some brands you can’t go wrong with are Nike, alo, or lululemon

Shoes

If you’re shopping for a guy at Colgate, you can’t go wrong with flip flops or berks.

Self-care

Sauvage Parfum

Every guy smells good in Dior Sauvage; it’s iconic for a reason. It’s also a safe and very loved choice. 

Cologne Sampler Set with Redeemable Voucher

If you don’t know what they like, or you just want to rack up on Sephora points, get him a cologne sampler set with a redeemable voucher for a full-size cologne.

Custom Haircare   

For a guy who is too obsessed with his hair, get him custom haircare; it’s a fun and thoughtful upgrade to their routine.

Dorm Gifts

Dartboard

Darts are a fun game to have in the room when you’re bored. You can even get them a custom board relating to their interests. 

Wall-Mounted Recycled Ski Bottle Opener

For the guy who is of the legal drinking age, this piece would make a room stand out, and it’s a great conversation starter. 

Upcycled Record Coasters

This music-themed coaster is a great gift for music lovers or anyone who doesn’t want to stain their furniture. 

Jewelry

Bracelets

For guys who are into fashion, this bracelet is a great staple to have.

Chains

So many guys wear chains. Find out where he likes to shop and grab him one that he’ll love.

Rings   

A silver ring can elevate every outfit, and it is a way for them to show their personality in a subtle way. 

Media Consumer

A24 Membership

An A24 membership is a perfect gift for cinephiles, and it comes with so many perks that anyone would love. 

DJ Set

Recently, I’ve noticed that everyone wants to be a DJ. This might be your chance to help someone make their dream come true. 

Penguin Little Black Classics

Get them a classic book; if they have already read it, they can always display it.
