The best gifts for men aren’t always neckties or a new set of tools. A thoughtful spin on classic categories can impress every type of recipient — think cool cookware for the streetwear aficionado, designer belts for the luxe logo lover, stylish sunnies or dad shoes that don’t scream “dad shoes.”
On that note, we’ve rounded up some of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for men, whether he’s your dad, husband, business partner, boyfriend, brother or BFF. From cozy slippers that let him wear his NFL team pride all season long and the comfiest T-shirts to designer belts and the latest entertainment and wellness tech, we’ve rounded up some of the best men’s gifts for every type of guy — yes, including non-boring versions of classic socks and tools too.
