The Real Chic Life

Today we’re continuing our holiday gift guide series with part 2: gifts for men. If you missed part 1, be sure to check it out for some luxurious gift ideas for all the women in your life (or for yourself). I don’t know about you, but I typically find men to be the most difficult to shop for. I’m the type of person who builds a wishlist and drops hints about what I’d like, but my husband never makes any requests, leaving me scrambling to come up with something thoughtful that’s not a replica of whatever I got him for his birthday or father’s day. And then there are extended family members and friends to shop for as well. If you’re on the hunt for some gift ideas this year, I’ve rounded up some selections that I think make perfect gifts for men.

For the Guy Who Always Asks Where’s My Stuff?

Bosca Old Leather AirTag ID Card Case – AirTag accessories are extremely practical gifts for apple/iphone users. I love how easy it is to track valuables with the AirTag. He’ll never lose his card holder again if you put an AirTag in this Bosca card case. It’s sleek and made of real leather.

Leather AirTag Holder Keychain– Keys are also top contenders for most misplaced items, and an AirTag key ring makes it so easy to track and recover them. This one is made of leather and comes in a wide range of colors.

Spigen Tag Armor Airpod Pro Case– An AirTag case is a must for airpod users because they’re so easily misplaced and tracking options are limited. This case allows you to an insert an AirTag easily and you can hook the case to anything with the strong carabiner.

For the Guy Who Takes Lounging Seriously

Eberjey William Tencel Modal Long PJ Set– I LOVE a great pair of pajamas and they make a great gift for anyone including men. Eberjey pajamas are my favorite; the modal material is incredibly soft, helps you maintain an optimal temperature and feels luxurious. The William Tencel Modal Long PJ Set looks stylish and is so comfortable he’ll never want to take them off. Eberjey also has a short PJ Set, and the long set comes in washable silk if you want to splurge.

Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe– There are robes and then there are Brooklinen robes. This super-plush robe is made of soft and absorbent Turkish cotton and has pockets. It comes in a navy stripe pattern that’s perfect for achieving the luxury spa look/feel at home.

Ugg Tasman Slippers– Who doesn’t love a great pair of slippers? The Ugg Tasman slippers are comfortable enough to wear at home or he can use them as a casual shoe to run errands, grab the mail, or walk the dog. If you’d prefer something that looks more like a traditional house slipper you can’t go wrong with the Bombas Men’s Sunday Slipper.

For the Guy Who Secretly Loves Compliments on His Style

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Pullover Hoodie– If he loves hoodies, consider giving him this elevated version from Quince that features 100% grade-a mongolian cashmere at a competitive price.

J.Crew Heritage Cotton Crewneck Sweater– You can never go wrong with a classic clothing item from a classic brand and this J.Crew Cotton Crewneck Sweater is the kind of item that he’ll get a lot of use out of because it’s so easy to dress up or down. This is a piece he can keep in his wardrobe forever.

Quince Italian Wool Overcoat– This coat is another timeless wardrobe item that’s also a showstopper. It instantly elevates a casual look and complements any dressy look.

For the Guy Who Likes to Create a Mood One Scent at a Time

Harlem Candle Company Langston Luxury Candle– The Harlem Candle Company makes some of the best luxury candles under $50 and the Langston candle, which celebrates the poet Langston Hughes, has a gorgeous complex scent that leans masculine. They describe it as “The worn vintage leather of his favorite armchair, aromatic tobacco laced with a hint of clove and vanilla from the pipes of the neighborhood men, and the smell of ambery incense that recalls his many visits to churches in Mexico.” Speakeasy and After Dark are also popular scents that would make great gifts.

D.S. & Durga Breakfast Leipzig Candle– If you’re looking for a luxury candle scent that’s a little atypical but definitely a crowd pleaser, try the cult favorite Breakfast Leipzig candle. It’s described as the scent of strong coffee, buttery almond pastries, and pipe tobacco.

Pura Car Diffuser– You can turn his car into an aromatherapy experience with the Pura Smart Car Diffuser. This diffuser can be used with a variety of premium fragrances, and has cool features like an accelerometer that turns the diffuser on when your car is in motion and turns it off when your car stops. You can also control the intensity of the fragrances with an app.

For the Guy Who Likes to stay Organized and On Time (or at least tries)

Day Designer 2025 Daily Planner– My husband and I love using planners to stay organized, and Day Designer planners are my favorite. They feature inspirational quotes, blocks to record notes and things you’re thankful for, and plenty of prompts to help you set your goals for the year. The black pebble and charcoal bookcloth colorways are particularly gender neutral. This is a great gift to help him get or stay organized in the year ahead.

Sharper Image Word Clock– Our gift guide part 1 featured the incredible Author Clock, and here’s another conversation piece that makes an excellent gift. The LED wording on this clock is a fun way to display the time and its sleek and contemporary look can complement his home or office.

Apple Watch Series 10– The newest apple watch is thinner and has a range of new features including sleep apnea notifications. For a more affordable option, try the Apple Watch SE.

These gifts are sure to be a hit this holiday season. If you have other gift ideas for men, let us know in the comments!
