101 Best Gifts for Stepdads in 2022

If your stepdad loves to kick back and read a book while he’s on vacation, the Fire HD10 is a great way to help him enjoy summer beach reads or snowy winter days. The battery lasts for weeks at a time, and the screen is designed to reduce eye fatigue. It offers a glare-free display, which is especially nice for reading in a hammock or on the beach on a bright, sunny day. 

In addition, this dandy tablet allows him to surf his favorite websites, listen to music, and take high definition photos of all his vacation adventures. 

Want an alternative gift idea or an option for his birthday? Toss in a Kindle Unlimited subscription, and your stepdad can access hundreds of thousands of Kindle books and thousands of audiobooks with Whispersync for Voice. You can keep up to ten books at a time on a device. A Kindle Unlimited subscription can be used on any Kindle device. Alternatively, he can set up Kindle Unlimited access on an iPad, or similar non-Amazon devices.

Another awesome idea to maximize his pleasure of using his new tablet – a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited. With a quick request of Alexa, he can listen to thousands of genres and millions of songs, or simply request a playlist by artist or genre. So totally worth it.

If your bonus dad spends a lot of time on the road or in planes, there’s one necessity he can’t do without – a quality suitcase. This TravelPro 21 inch spinner suitcase is definitely a step above the rest for so many reasons. He’ll love that this bag has a dedicated power bank pocket with an external USB port, so he won’t be searching around the airport for a place to plug and power his devices.

The interior of this expandable bag is wicked smart as well, with war more zipper pockets to keep things well organized. It even has a removable wet pocket for his toiletries to avoid having water or product transfer to his clothes. This lightweight suitcase is supremely maneuverable with rugged spinner wheels for those times when he’s running to make a connection. And unlike many bags, this one has a padded telescoping that we think is a genius idea. It’s also TSA compliant.

If he doesn’t need a suitcase, TravelPro has several other options that are especially great for day trips and overnighters. The TravelPro expandable briefcase and backpack give him plenty of room to pack files, devices and a few other necessities, while the TravelPro duffel is an awesome option for short hops.

Everyone hopes their stepdad will love them like their own, but that doesn’t always happen. If you’re lucky enough to have the man who has fully embraced you as his kid, make sure he knows it with this cool stainless steel dog tag necklace. It’s not showy. He can wear it under his shirt, but close to his heart. Engraved with the words “Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad. Thank you for loving me as your own.” 

Think he’d be more inclined toward a more subtle but similar expression? This dog tag necklace is inscribed with “Thank you for being the dad you didn’t have to be.”

He might also appreciate this clever key chain that reads “You didn’t give me the gift of life. Life gave me the gift of you.” It features an attached charm that says “Bonus dad.” We also think he’d like this keyring that reads “Love has nothing to do with DNA” and has a DNA strand charm. 

We’re pretty sure there’s not a man on the planet who doesn’t know the brand Caterpillar. They’re renowned for the roughest toughest heavy equipment around. It’s no surprise then that Caterpillar’s new work boots are built just as tough. The waterproof rubber upper makes these boots ideal for anyone who spends time outdoors, but they’ve got even more attributes for the man who needs a serious work boot.

They have electrical hazard protection rated to protect against open circuits up to 600 volts in dry conditions. The stabilizing rubber outsole means your dad will get great grip on uneven and slippery terrain. A soft neoprene liner prevents foot friction and hot spots, and the Ease® footbed keeps his feet comfortable all day thanks to cushion, shock absorption, and energy return. These boots even offer reflective pull tabs, making your pop2 more visible when he’s working at night.

Cat also makes a six inch rubber boot with all the same great features.

Looking for a memorable gift for Father’s Day? This inexpensive photo album has room for 300 photos, and space to write notes about when and where each photo was taken. Fill it up with family photos from over the years, and show your stepdad that you remember all the fun times he’s created for you and your family. 

If you want to give him a gift for his office and continually update his collection of family memories, the Nixplay Seed digital photo frame is a fantastic option that can display an ongoing slide show he can share with colleagues and friends.

Just in case that’s not in your budget, this cool MP3 player will treat him to his favorite tunes and family photos at the same time.

With the ridiculous amount of information readily available regarding craft beer, new beers to try, and ways to properly consume craft beer, it’s all a bit much. With every beer snob claiming that they have tried the best beer (for example, me on my Twitter), it’s hard to decipher which beers you should try and which you should skip. So if the man in your life is a craft beer snob (like myself), check out Mark Dredge’s book, Craft Beer World. It is a guide containing over 350 of the finest beers known to man, and it’ll help craft his interest and refine his beer palate. It’s a must-read for beer lovers, and it’ll point him in the right direction if he has trouble figuring out what beers to try.

If he’s a board game lover and they’ve heard about Settlers of Catan but never got into it, Mayfair Games (the company behind the game) has created an updated version of the game simply called Catan 5th Edition. It simplifies and clarifies the rules, and the board and cards have updated graphics on them. It’s best played with four people, and it’ll make and break friendships, for sure. It has tons of replay value, and it’s literally the best board game ever made. Period.

If your stepdad loves game night, and he hasn’t played Catan yet, you might want to consider picking it up for him!

This Moscow Mule mug set is perfect for keeping your stepdad’s cocktails frosty cold, even on hot days. Real copper mugs are the preferred cocktail receptacle for a Moscow Mule, since copper quickly takes on the chill from the ice, making the rim frosty and keeping the drink insulated. Copper straws are also included to keep the coldness going. and this set also includes a copper jigger. And even if he doesn’t like Moscow Mules, these cups are great for any summer beverage that needs to stay ice cold.

This 11-piece copper cocktail shaker set would be a great gift for your stepdad as well. With everything he’ll need to master mixology, all you’ll need to do is get him a great book of cocktail recipes and invite him to test them out on you.

For the man who has a nearly unlimited curiosity about the world around him, a subscription to National Geographic is the perfect gift idea. This legendary publication has been informing the world about mind-blowing discoveries for more than a hundred years, and the pictures are truly awe inspiring. Plus, the low cost makes it perfect for those who are on a budget.

This is a nice option for last-minute gift giving. Even though it will take a few weeks for the first print issue to show up. For shorter stories with equal impact, a subscription to Smithsonian Magazine is another awesome option. 

If he’s more of a current news and events guy, consider a subscription to Time Magazine or The Economist. The latter is worth perusing just because of the wicked cool international job postings. All of these magazines make great gifts for stepdads and anyone else who loves to be in the know about the world around them.

This engraved hammer is a thoughtful gift for a stepfather who has taught you important life skills. This hammer is engraved on the handle, but that doesn’t mean it’s purely decorative. The hammer is a quality piece made with a polished-steel head with rip and a shock-absorbing hardwood handle.  It can, and undoubtedly will be used around the house for lots of DIY projects.

If you like the sentiment, but think a hammer isn’t right for your stepdad, consider this coffee mug and keychain set that expresses the same feeling. 

He might also appreciate this “Best Bonus Dad Ever” coffee mug or for the stepdad with a great sense of humor, this funny coffee mug will make him laugh every time he grabs a cup of joe.

There’s nothing like hit around some golf balls to relax a man, but your stepdad can’t always get outside to do so. But with the OptiShot 2 Golf Simulator (which works with PC or Mac), he can use his own clubs to hit real or foam golf balls indoors while playing on world-famous courses — at least digitally. The award-winning OptiShot 2 Golf Simulator will help him improve his game from the comfort of his own home, and he can even play without any pants because he’ll be in his own home. There’s no rule that says you have to wear pants in your man cave. Pantless golf? Count me in! It’s even better when you use it with a projector for the ultimate experience.

Looking for a sentimental gift? This cute photo frame has room for a 4×6 photo on one side, and a sweet poem on the other. The poem reads:

“More than a stepdad…

You became my stepfather the day you married mom and
you’ve become the greatest treasure our family has ever had.

It doesn’t go unnoticed the way that mom loves you.
It’s easy to see why she does and
I can’t help but love you too!”

Another sweet and sentimental photo frame reads “First my stepdad, Forever my friend.” That one will surely melt his heart.

Looking to get your pop an upscale gift this year? For the stepdad that you love like a real dad, a watch is a great Christmas, birthday, or Father’s Day gift idea. If you’re thinking smartwatch, the Fossil Latitude Hybrid Smartwatch should be at the top of your list. It balances the styling of an analog watch with the convenient features of a smartwatch.

The watch features an ever-changing watch face and subdials with multiple functions that track his fitness and so much more. The band looks rugged and tough and features a buckle closure. The watch is compatible with iOS and Android devices and acts as a fitness tracker. Color-coded LED notifications help him to keep track of incoming messages, calls, e-mails, social media, and more along with options to control his music.

Easily swappable watchbands mean he can customize the look of this watch whenever he chooses. He’ll also love the solid two-week battery life of the Latitude which makes it much more user-friendly than many other fitness trackers.

We just love tiny tech stuff, and we know when it comes so when the manufacturer offered to let me try the PogoCam out, I was more than a gamer. When I opened the box, I literally exclaimed “it’s soooo tiny!” right out loud, even though no one else was around. When I say tiny, I’m talking tinier than the last half of your pinkie finger – even smaller, actually.

This itty-bitty removable camera attaches magnetically to most eyeglasses by using a small adapter, which they very politely included in the box. It makes capturing point of view photos and 720mp high-def videos so simple. And natch, it comes with its own, equally tiny smart case, that will recharge his camera up to three times. Your husband can just toss it in his pocket and head out the door. Unlike lots of devices, the PogoCam holds a charge for up to 20 days, that is, if he’s even capable of letting it sit idle.

This mini-cam holds up to 100 pictures, or six 30 second video before you need to transfer them. Or, just plug it into the smart case, which holds up to 16,000 photos or 180 thirty-second video clips. How cool is that? 

This cool husband gift is the perfect choice for DIYers, or any guy who needs a handy set of sockets, but doesn’t have space for a full-size set of tools. This cool tool adapts from standard 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch, and metric 7mm to 19mm, with over 125 pounds of torque. He can use it to unscrew most bolts, nuts, hooks, and other odd shape fasteners that he doesn’t have the right tool for. The wrench adapter attachment turns his power drill or ratchet wrench into a useful multi-tools for tons of projects.

Made with 54 individual hardened steel spring pins, it instantly retracts to the shape of most objects. How handy is that? The RAK Magnetic Wristband is another cool and unique gift idea for your hubby, to hold nails, screws or drill bits and keeps his hands free for the task at hand. And another cool tool idea that makes working in difficult places so much easier is the Yosoo Flexible Extention Screwdriver Drill Bit Holder.

When it comes to interesting gifts for your guy, this has to be one of the coolest new releases. The Infinity Orb Levitating Speaker is a crazy cool Bluetooth speaker that defies convention and challenges old school methods of listening to music. This tiny tech wonder features a gravity-defying, spinning orb, engineered with a high-quality speaker.

It lets your pop play songs at very high volume, without distortion or noise. And even though the orb is spinning like magic above the base, it doesn’t compromise sound quality or clarity, delivering a jaw-dropping experience both visually and sound-wise. The orb can be used as a stand-alone Bluetooth speaker without the base, but why would you want to miss out on the coolest listening experience around? When plugged in, the small base also acts as a charging station for other devices, so it’s a perfect present for his office or shop.

Interesting gifts are easy to find, especially if your pop2 is a weather nerd. I’m one, so I understand his obsession with what Mother Nature has in store. This wireless weather station is such a cool gift idea because it includes all the weather info he’ll need to select his clothes for the day, and plan his schedule around shoveling snow on those cold winter days.

He’ll get weather predictions, and pinpoint accuracy right from your own backyard with this cool tech toy. The weather station uses patented self-calibrating technology to provide his personal forecast for 12 to 24 hour weather conditions. With weather data measured by a sensor in the yard, this weather station gives him the most accurate forecast available for your exact location. With an atomic clock and calendar, it can also be his bedside companion.

With a built-in alarm, he can wake up to the latest weather info every single morning, as well as monitor both indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity. If his weather obsession extends beyond the basics, he can actually become a Weather Underground reporting station with the AcuRite Pro Weather Station with Lightning Detector. I have it, and I love it. But if he just wants all that data sent directly to his smartphone, the Netatmo Weather Station for Smartphones should do the trick.

If you’ve been around your stepdad for any length of time, you both can agree that his poop does indeed stink. But by now you’ve probably already established an appreciation for each others’ sense of humor, so this Poo-Pourri gift pack just had to land on our list of interesting gifts for stepdads. When you want to put a wrench into his bathroom stench, this two bottle set of Poo-Pourri is packed up in the most clever little tool-box.

It includes a two ounce bottle of Trap-a-crap spray and a two ounce bottle of Royal Flush. Sprayed into the toilet before doing his business, these sprays keep odors from escaping, and terrorizing you or anyone else that might follow him into the john. We also love the Poo-Pourri Gone Flushing Gift Set, which promises to “trap bathroom odor, hook, line and stinker.” Hysterical.

Everyone needs a new party game to play at the holidays, including your bonus dad. This fun gift is definitely not for the younger siblings in your family, but if you have adult children spending the holidays, or even if it’s just you and your parents, this one’s a winner. Not at all PC, Joking Hazard is an offensive card game where you compete to finish awful comics. It requires equal parts creative storytelling and feeling bad about yourself. The damaged minds behind Cyanide & Happiness created it, so don’t let grandma play unless you want her to die of a broken heart.

The creativity is all in the hands of the players, so this game can quickly devolve to reveal everyone’s sickest sense of humor. Who doesn’t want to play a game like that? You might want dad to bring along the flask we recommended earlier. Another of our favorites that shows everyone’s worst sides is the cult classic, Cards Against Humanity, a party game for horrible people. Exploding Kittens also gets rave reviews, if you’re into explosions, kittens and sometimes goats.

Does your stepdad have a brown thumb, but he still loves having greenery around the house? These are the perfect interesting gifts for him. These elegant hanging glass globes have just enough room for a bit of sand and a virtually impossible to kill air plant. He just needs to give the plants a splash of water at the sink once a week or so, and set them back on top of the sand. 

This set of two pretty plant hangers would be beautiful in a master bathroom, hanging in the kitchen, or anywhere in your house where they get some daylight. If you’re looking for a trouble free decorating idea for his office, these Glass Hanging Planter Terrarium Globes are suspended from their own spiraling black metal stand.

Keeping his cold beer chilly and refreshing is a worthy goal, and this is one of those gifts for stepdads that delivers. The BottleKeeper is an insulated stainless steel container that keeps his beer bottle colder, longer, and more enjoyable. Lined with neoprene, and padded to eliminate the worry of breakage, this interesting gift is sure to be one of your pop’s favorite and most used presents of the year.

No more warm beers at the beach, barbecue, or during the game. With this nifty insulated bottle, he can casually sip instead of guzzling, which is good news all around. While it doesn’t come with a beer included, (bummer) you could certainly buy one in the available Christmasy colors.

 Oh, and make sure to snap up a six pack of his favorite brew for some added holiday enjoyment. Another one of our favorite interesting gifts for men has to be the Handcrafted Wooden Beer Carrier with Bottle Opener. Whenever he wants to tote a six pack of his favorite craft brew to share with the guys, this customizable caddy is the way to do it in style.

Dad’s always been your superhero. Now you can give him balls of steel to go with his larger than life personality. These steel balls will chill his whiskey and warm his heart. Great to cool spirits of all kinds without diluting his drink, these chillers also have a philanthropic component. Profits go to testicular cancer research, which we think makes them an especially great gift.  Made of food grade stainless steel, FDA approved for food and drink, this is a gift that will impress your stepdad for sure.

To make this an even more delicious present, get him some solid rocks glasses so he can pour a shot or two for his friends.

Who says dads don’t need pampering? With the Man Can he can have soft smooth skin and that “manly man” kind of smell, all while using 100 percent all-natural skincare products made just for him. Packaged in a clever paint can, this fun bath set includes soap, shave gel, bay rum oil, hand butter, and a body mitt make his weather and work-worn skin feel as soft as a baby’s… well, you know. To take that manly man theme on the road, get dad the travel soap with a cool metal travel tin.

Let’s face it. Lots of stepdads are Mr. Fixits. This incredible liquid plastic welder melts adhesive that is 100 percent waterproof and heat resistant. The solvent-free formula stays liquid until cured with the included UV LED Light. It dries clear and creates a permanent bond that can fix and fill anything, from plastic to wood, metal, PVC, steel, rubber, wiring, ceramic, figurines, vinyl, Kevlar, polypropylene, leather and so much more.

The kit includes one applicator, one 15 x 15 inch microfiber cloth, one 4 gram tube of liquid plastic and one 4 gram liquid plastic refill. Get some extra refills, because dad will be fixing everything around the house and shop.

So your dad likes to think he’s in an episode of Dual Survival… or at least he wants to be prepared to show off his survival skills. This premium 16-piece survival kit includes a fully integrated cobra woven paracord bracelet with a compass. Dad will feel comfortable in any situation requiring him to start a fire, fish for food, or improvise when survival is the immediate challenge.

The kit includes a 1″ x 12′ length of nylon cordage, one snelled 3/0 offset kale hook with 20″ leader line, one snelled #2 offset kale hook with 20″ leader line, two 1 1/8 inch line swivels, one 30 ft length 10lb test fishing line, two 1/2 inch foam bobbers, two 3/8 inch egg sinkers, one 2 1/4 inch ferrocerium fire starter rod, one 2 inch diameter serrated fire striker, one dried grass tinder bundle, one 9 square inch Alcohol pad, and two 1 3/4 inch safety pins.

For a simpler fire starter, less challenging ones are available because simply surviving in an emergency situation is hard enough.

Your stepdad is nothing if not inventive and fun. While he may be out on his own, he’ll never be out of touch with this unique solar charging station. The high-efficiency solar panel converts the sun into power for USB devices and light for many uses. About the size and weight of a smartphone, the power bank charges a smartphone in about two hours and provides up to 150 hours of light on a single charge.

If George Clooney can make the perfect cup of java, so can your bonus dad, and nothing makes it simpler than this Nespresso Coffee and Espresso maker. This great machine can brew even large man-sized cups of coffee as well as an authentic espresso at the touch of a button. It heats up in 15 seconds and comes with a rapid-fire milk frother to make yummy espresso and cappuccinos.

Pick up a Nespresso variety pack to give dad some coffee options he never even dreamed of. All you need to do is show up with some homemade fresh donuts to make dad’s day.

Tell your duffer of a dad to stop playing golf if he wants to improve his swing. Honest. Selected as the #1 Golf Training Aid by PGA.com, the Orange Whip is weighted and counter-weighted for a perfect pre-round warm up. The flexible shaft and counter-weighted system are designed to enhance swing rhythm and balance as well as enhance his core fitness and flexibility. His accelerated swing will provide more impact from his body rather than his shoulders, or arms and hands.

Add the SKLZ Smash Bag to let him test the difference in his impact with the ball. Now you just need to set up a tee time challenge.

Is your dad a photo fanatic? Is he constantly snapping pics with his phone that you never get to see? Get him the Polaroid ZIP Mobile Printer and ask for your copy on the spot. This nifty little device prints instant 2″ x 3″ wallet-sized photos that are full color and smudge-proof. Sync it to your Android or iOS phone or tablet using Bluetooth or NFC technology and he’ll be printing in minutes onto premium ZINK zero paper – meaning no ink and no hassle.

Make sure to get plenty of extra ZINK printer paper for all those soon-to-be-shot family photos. If you want to get him a camera and instant printer in one, the Canon Ivy CLIQ+ is a seriously fun solution, especially at special events when he doesn’t want to pack his bigger camera along.

Grilling is always more fun with friends and now your pop can grab and go with this mini-grill from Weber. He can show off his wicked pitmaster prowess at tailgate parties or family gatherings in just minutes. The grill’s single, stainless steel burner produces 8500 BTU-per-hour to heat up the 189 square-inch total cooking area.

With porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates and cast aluminum lid and body, this grill comes fully assembled and ready to fire up right out of the box. Push button ignition makes starting simple, so invite dad over and make sure you’ve got some juicy steaks and lobster tails to test it out. If he’s going to use the grill at home as well, you might want to get him the custom-fitted cart and a grill cover for a different special occasion.

Sometimes busy dads have trouble shaking off the workday. That’s when this sound therapy system can save the evening and ease your dad into relaxation mode. He’ll sleep better and calm down more easily in a healthy sound environment that features 14 different sound recordings, from nature to urban and simple white and brown noise. He can even set the gentle-off timer with a volume reduction feature.

This machine has 30, 60, 90, and 120 minute options to give him the most flexibility to relax or fall deeply to sleep. Dual USB power ports also make it a simple way to charge his devices at night, just be sure to remind him that those devices should be turned off to get optimal sleep as blue light at night can be detrimental to his rest according to LIVESCIENCE.com.

He might just take his outdoor activities to the next level with this deluxe backyard croquet game. The Baden Deluxe Series Croquet Set is portable and perfect for leisurely afternoons at the park and simple to tote over to a neighbor’s backyard. A great gift idea, especially for dads, this is a game your pop2 will play for hours with family and friends.

It’s the perfect pick-me-up on a sunny summer afternoon or evening. Built with soft grip handles for hours of comfort, this set is ideal for two to six players, and comes with everything he’ll need to get started. If your dad happens to be a real croquet aficionado, you could opt to get him a more high-end croquet set.

They make Han Solo carbonite everything nowadays — ice cube trays, business card cases, and some great wall decals. So, why wouldn’t they have a Han Solo carbonite beach towel? This towel is 30″ x 60″, and soft. Solo is the best smuggler on this side of Tatooine, and one of his most memorable moments was when he is frozen in a carbonite block and hung on the wall of Jabba the Hutt’s wall as a trophy. This carbonite beach towel, although not actual carbonite, is as close as you’re going to get to reliving that memorable moment.

So if he’s a Star Wars fan – and, let’s be honest here, who isn’t at this point – a great Star Wars beach towel is a good option.

Fun always happens outside, right? With this softside cooler, picnics, patio parties and days on the lake are about to get exponentially better. Made for fun and built to last, this clever cooler can handle dad’s food and drinks, charge his devices and play music from all of his Android or iOS devices for up to eight hours on a single charge. 

Snuggled into the water-resistant cooler,  the removable 20-watt speaker delivers great sound for his outdoor enjoyment. We think your pop2 will love the brilliant color of this cooler, but in case he’s a snitch more subdued, you can get this same cooler in black as well as camo.

This hammock is designed for promoting relaxation and a healthy lifestyle in any outdoor place. It is made of 100% cotton and the stand is constructed of sturdy and all weather-resin steel. This hammock can easily accommodate two adults, or up to 450 pounds. It’s a great gift for your pop that he’ll love sharing with his sweetie on a warm summer day.

With the included carrying case, he can toss it in his rig and relax anywhere. (Please note, the redhead pictured does NOT come with this hammock.)  If he’s someone who prefers lots of color, you can also order this hammock in a red stripe pattern. To give him the ultimate in relaxation, include a complete guide to meditation as a part of your perfect present.

If you are shopping for neckties then you need to consider the Tommy Hilfiger brand of ties. Tommy has been making men’s clothing for decades and they’ve done so with a formula of high quality plus vibrant colors. Both of those parts of the equation are prevalent here in their Buffalo Tartan ties. They come in a variety of bright colors and designs. Think about the dress shirts you already own or are going to purchase. When buying a tie, you should always have at least one shirt in mind that it will go with. The right shirt color, white, black, gray, some blues and reds, will go with most ties you buy. Look at putting a tie on as adding another layer to your already deep selection of fashionable clothes.

Wrap your stepdad up in a luxurious 100 percent cashmere scarf. This great neck-warmer comes in a dozen color choices. It’s made with de-haired, two-ply yarn from Mongolian cashmere goats, known worldwide as the finest source of cashmere. Believe it or not, it takes between three and five of those goats to make just one cashmere sweater according to the experts at CashmereMania.com.

We don’t know how many goats were required to weave this lovely, lightweight scarf, but it is amazingly warm and cozy, because high-quality cashmere can be up to eight times warmer than sheep’s wool. Get him a cashmere hat to keep his noggin warm, and if you really want to go over the top, buy him a stylish cashmere and wool overcoat to make for an awesome gift of winter outerwear.

Your pop will look and feel cool in this stylish Stetson straw hat. If you’re looking for an unexpected gift for your husband or your dad, this hat’s a winner. It will keep the sun off his face and shoulders, but this stands apart in the realm of men’s hats. It’s breathable and will never falter on the distinctive Stetson style. If your stepdad is more of a fedora guy, Stetson makes a straw panama hat too. If your dad is more Indiana Jones than cowboy, perhaps an outback hat would be a better choice.

Remember going fishing with your dad? Maybe on his next special day, you should take your dad, husband, brother or boyfriend fishing. Instead of sitting in a boat or on a bank, walk the rivers and streams of life in search of the wily and clever trout. This fly fishing combo kit from Orvis would be a great gift idea for any guy on your list.

It includes the Orvis Encounter fly rod featuring graphite construction for flexibility and lightweight ease, an Encounter reel, weight-forward trout fly line, backing, and a leader, all professionally rigged and loaded to fish. The state-of-the-art rod design offers smooth, crisp performance and a gift like this is the promise of memorable times outdoors.

Once you’ve got him hooked on fly fishing, there is a neverending list of future presents to buy from waders to fishing vests to the actual fishing flies themselves.

If there’s one thing guys love, it’s a good shower. Even better if it’s a shower while he’s out camping. This waterproof, battery-powered portable shower can do the deed indoors or out. By drawing water from virtually any bucket, basin, sink or lake, the Ivation portable shower system turns any pool of water into a gentle shower-like stream, on demand.

With shower-anywhere capability, it is great for on-the-go showering for campers and hikers. It’s perfect for poolside or beach showering, and it provides gentle bathtub showering for toddlers and babies, eliminating the need to use the strong overheard shower stream. You can even use it to wash your pets. 

It runs for up to 60 minutes on a single charge thanks to the built-in rechargeable 2200mAh lithium battery. Charging is easy via USB connection to any computer or laptop, or with a 12v car adapter. Couple that with the included suction cup and hanging hook, and you’ve got a shower that’s ready when you are.

Use the S-shaped hook to hang the lightweight, 1.4-pound Ivation shower head on any nearby branch, and voila…you’ve got an instant outdoor shower. What’s extra cool is the Ivation portable shower features a built-in water filtration system that cleans the water while the shower is in use. If you really want to spoil your dad while he’s in the outdoors, get him a super nifty Bucket Water Heater to guarantee a long hot shower anywhere.

I know you think we’re nuts for putting a lawnmower on a gift list, but I promise you, if your stepdad is green and loves the planet, he’s going to love this great gift idea. The Greenworks dual blade lawn mower’s 40V, 4Ah Lithium-Ion battery gives it a run time of up to 60 minutes per charge, with more power for the toughest lawns. Innovative high-speed twin 10-inch blades let him finish mowing faster because of the 20 inch total cutting width and excellent mulching ability. Single-lever 5-position height adjustment allows him to choose the best cut for his yard.

This mower’s lightweight poly deck is extremely durable and easy to push through the most challenging terrain, while the big 10 inch rear and seven-inch front wheels allow maximum maneuverability. The rear bag and mulch functions convert easily without tools. What dad wouldn’t want to mow faster and better, without using polluting gas? If your dad already has a mower he loves, consider a Lithium-Ion battery powered string trimmer. Lightweight and long-lasting, your dad will love kicking the can – gas can, that is.

If you’ve got a go-to kind of stepdad who’s into fitness no matter what the weather, the WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope will keep him in tip top shape, even when the weather isn’t cooperating. With a simple clip of a wire cutter, this rope will be custom fit to him. The WOD Nation speed rope was made specifically for mastering double-unders and doing speed rope work. This rope is definitely not a toy. It’s made for serious fitness fanatics.

The ballistic plastic handles house lightning speed metal bearings for an effortless and controlled spin. The rope is topped off with a metal extension spindle with an eyeball bearing tip that reacts to cable adjustments from the first double under to the hundredth and beyond. This rope is for him if he’s a committed athlete looking for a strenuous cardio workout indoors.

Resistance bands can add to an indoor fitness package. And if he’s big into crunches, a Nayoya ab mat will ensure that he gets max benefit while he’s battling back the food baby.

I’m pretty picky about my sweatshirts and hoodies; it’s hard to strike a balance in the perfect size, material, design and color. But then, earlier this year, I came across Voormi, specifically, the Eleven.9 hoodie. Now, I’ll never go back to the standard hoodie again. It will quickly become his favorite hoodie, as it’s the perfect fit, stitch, and style. It uses water shedding Surface Hardened Thermal Wool made from Rocky Mountain Highcountry Merino Wool. Before being stitched, the wool is treated with a durable water repellent treatment and then is re-enforced with high performance nylon to ensure a long lasting, weather beating hoodie. It’s available in Merlot (my personal choice) and Cinder. If he’s someone who appreciates a damn good, well-made American hoodie, the Voormi Eleven.9 is the only choice. Sizes from X-Small to XX-Large are available.

If your stepdad loves to barbeque, he can transform his outdoor grill into a versatile, non-stick cooking surface with these grill mats. These flexible mats work with any size or type of grill, and they make cooking easier and food tastier. Food flips more easily, burgers don’t break apart, sauces don’t stick and flare-ups are minimized.

These handy mats act somewhat like a thin, flexible pan on the grill top. For trouble-free cooking at temps up to 600 degrees, these heat resistant mats make it simple to cook without oils, and clean up is a breeze because everything slides right off them. He can just stick them in the dishwasher to clean them and never worry about ruining his barbecue grates again.

Offer to be his grill mat guinea pig and bring over some juicy New York steaks and maybe some lobster tails too.

Let’s face it. There’s a lot of love that’s expressed through food, so what better way to spark your stepdad’s interest in cooking than this ridiculously fun cookbook by Jeff Potter. Potter is curious about the science of food and loves finding answers to why ingredients and recipes work the way they do. By bringing science to food-minded people and food to science-minded people, he blends genres to educate the public about how to master the kitchen.

If your stepdad loves to ride his bike (or bikes) this is an awesome jewelry gift for him. Cyclists everywhere love to show off their passion and prowess on the bike. You’ll see them wearing this design on t-shirts, tattoos and more. Now you can give him the gift of this beautiful stainless steel and titanium bike chain bracelet for men. 

The bracelet secures with a fold-over clasp for easy wear, style, and shine. Titanium is also called 316L stainless steel. It is always known widely for its cold light texture and brightness. It is resistant to acid and alkali without discoloration, allergy or deformation. Because titanium steel jewelry does not tarnish or oxidize, it can stand up to the tough wear your dad will give it, plus it’s hypoallergenic.

If he’s more the dress shirt and tie kind of man by day, check out these cool bicycle inspired cufflinks or this nifty crankset lapel pin.

No men’s gift list would be complete without a great new signature scent as an option, and Acqua Di Gio fits the bill. Frequently chosen as one of the best scents for men, Acqua Di Gio was inspired by the beauty of Pantelleria, Italy where Georgio Armani spent his vacations. This fragrance serves up the scent of freedom – full of wind and water.

This cologne is a harmony of the sweet and salty notes of seawater and nuances of sunny warmth. Bitter citrus with aromatic nuances of rosemary intertwines with salty sea scents along with hyacinth, freesia, and jasmine. Sharp notes of spices are softened by a woody base with warm, musky cedar, oakmoss, and amber. Keep him smelling good from head to toe with this Acqua Di Gio gift set.

When it comes to his special occasion, it’s all about indulging your bonus dad, and chocolate is a great way to do just that. Now we’re not talking about your run-of-the-mill box of candy here. Nope. We’re talking premium chocolates that are something extra special. This beautiful box from Godiva Chocolatier features 24 of their most legendary chocolate truffles with rich and creamy centers from fruity and fresh to sinfully dark and delicious.

If you live far away from your stepdad, don’t worry about this chocolate box arriving in perfect shape because it’s shipped with cold packs to ensure freshness. If he likes a variety of solid and filled chocolates, the Godiva Classic Gold Ballotin Chocolate Box might be more to his liking, or if your stepdad is seriously into chocolate everything, you might find even more inspiration browsing through our list of the best gifts for chocoholics.

Nothing could be more important than protecting your pop’s peepers. These Ray-Bans are the perfect birthday or Christmas gift for him and there’s hardly a more classic look than a great pair of Wayfarers. Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classics are the most recognizable style in the history of sunglasses. Since they were initially designed in 1952, Wayfarer Classics have gained popularity with celebrities, musicians, artists and anyone with impeccable fashion sense.

As an iconic style of sunglasses, Original Wayfarer Classics always make a statement. Choose a pair of black-framed Wayfarer sunglasses and select a variety of lens treatments including crystal green, crystal grey gradient, G-15 polarized and more. If he’s more into the Aviator look, try these Ray-Ban Aviators. For a slightly sleeker style, Ray-Ban’s Fast and Furious sunglasses might be just right.

When it comes to super cool and futuristic, as well as good looking and efficient, we’re kind of nuts about The Ridge Authentic Wallet, and we think your stepdad will be too. This minimalist wallet is RFID blocking, so bad guys can’t steal your good guy’s identity, but what he’ll really love is the narrow profile that won’t ruin his pants or feel like he’s sitting on a giant pillow.

This wallet holds up to 12 credit cards without stretching out, and the money clip makes it simple to get at his cash without his cards falling out. It’s been hand torched to give the titanium a cool looking finish, and the elastic screws are interchangeable and this wallet comes with spares and the tool to swap them out.

When you’re shopping for a man who’s a particularly classy dresser, it’s pretty likely that he loves cufflinks as a way to express his style. While we know this set is a bit of a splurge, maybe it’s the year to shop with wild abandon for your stepdad. These gorgeous Konstantino cufflinks feature an oval front with a post and cap closure. The main portion of them is cast in sterling silver with intricate leave and vine designs that are antiqued to add depth and dimension.

The showstopper is the front of these cufflinks which features a beautiful 18k gold Fleur de Lis inspired medallion. They are stamped by the artisan and while we know they might be kind of spendy, you can get a less expensive stunning Konstantino design – this silver, bronze, and leather bracelet that’s also a uniquely elegant option for men. 

There are a myriad of lakes and rivers awaiting your stepdad, but if he can’t get out on them, he’s missing out! The Colorado XTS inflatable pontoon fishing boat is the answer to plenty of floating and fishing fun ahead. This watercraft is impeccably engineered to give the most amenities we’ve ever seen in the space of just nine feet.

It has scads of storage between two built-in zippered bags on the pontoons, and two more big stow bags with multiple pockets, drink holders, and more that attach via velcro and tensioning straps. It also comes with a stripping table that can attach to the boat, which is a huge bonus for fly fishers. Add to that, this boat has a wire storage rack on the back for coolers and extra gear, and in fact, it can even accommodate a small trolling motor!

It comes with a super-comfy padded swivel seat, adjustable footrests, an anchor system, oars, and even a retractable wheel that allows you to easily get this boat down to the water when you’re by yourself. What do I want for Christmas? This boat is definitely on my wish list.

Because you’ll want to inflate or deflate the pontoons whenever needed, be sure to snag your giftee the hand pump that cuts their time in half because it works to inflate or deflate (depending on the setting) with both the up and downstroke. It’s amazing.

Keys and phones have an uncanny knack for disappearing, usually at the most inconvenient times and places. With the Tile Mate Bluetooth Tracker, your parents can avoid frustration and worry as they’ll always know how to track down their stuff. They can use their smartphone to make the Tile ring when it’s nearby, but out of sight. If Tile is within Bluetooth range, it will play a loud tune until they can find it.

Tile is perfect for hooking onto keys, luggage, bags, or anything else your folks tend to misplace. Or use the Tile Mate adhesives (sold separately) to stick Tile Mate to any flat surface.

Did you know that saving energy starts with your thermostat? It controls half your energy bill – more than appliances, or electronics. This Christmas, give the gift of true energy savings with Nest. In independent tests, the Nest Learning Thermostat saved an average of 10-12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling bills. That means that in two years, it can literally pay for itself. Plus, the Nest is happy to interact with its humans. With Farsight, the Nest lights up when it sees you coming and displays the time or temperature from across the room.

But even if your folks are away from home, they can control it using their phone, tablet or laptop, which means they’ll be saving energy 24-7. 

Nest also makes an outdoor security camera that records activity and sends snapshots to his smartphone. With such good attributes, any of these devices would make terrific gifts for parents.

There’s hardly anything more annoying than packing your favorite beverage to work, only to have someone snitch it from the office fridge. With this perfect Christmas gift, disappearing soda is a thing of the past. This handy desktop plug and play mini fridge keeps dad’s cold drinks chilled and at hisfingertips. The Koolatron Coca Cola fridge is a collector’s favorite. It cools up to 32-degrees below ambient temperature and holds six 12-ounce cans.

It also features a self-locking recessed door handle. Just keep your soft drinks and sparkling water cool and refreshing when you’re called into a last-minute meeting. Your dad could also stow other snacks in this fridge if soda isn’t his thing. 

Imagine having the kind of wine glasses you can take anywhere, from camping to the patio to the beach, without ever worrying that they’ll break and you’ll be cleaning up a mess of spilled wine and broken glass. Give yourself and the wine lovers on your Christmas gift list a set of these stemless silicone wine glasses. At 12 ounces each, they’re great for wine, beer, or any other beverage of your choice.

These portable glasses are made of food-grade silicone, so they’re stain-resistant, shatterproof and dishwasher safe. They’ll be the life of your pop’s next outdoor barbecue or indoor dinner party. Silicone is such a versatile material, it makes for lots of great gift ideas for everyone on your list. You can even find silicone bakeware and freezer containers, all of which are easy to clean and unbreakable.

With today’s focus on fresh food rather than fast food, people want to step up their kitchen game. This Müeller mandoline slicer is the perfect Christmas gift idea for your stepdad and any other foodies who want to learn to create meals that will impress their family and friends. This wickedly sharp little tool can quickly slice a whole tray of delicious fresh fruits and vegetables. Since we know that presentation makes food far more appealing, imagine how much easier it will be to convince picky kids to eat what’s good for them.

It includes everything he’ll need to create a delicious full-bodied gallon of Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy and share with friends, or maybe you. It comes with premium grape concentrate from world-class vineyards, so he won’t have to worry about sourcing his own fruit to get started.

It also includes all the tools including a one gallon fermenter, transfer tubing, a funnel, airlock, and zork closures, but your pop will have to provide his own bottles to make their wine journey simple and super fun. Once he’s tried this first batch, he’ll likely be inspired to try making all kinds of wines, so you might want to get them a good recipe book like The Home Winemaker’s Companion that includes ideas for wines made from grapes, as well as other fruits.

Craft A Brew offers a variety of homebrew kits for wine, beer, mead, hard seltzer, and kombucha. If you think wine isn’t the gift that will suit his fancy, give him something different, but equally fun and creative.

Remember how collectible old blue canning jars are? We’ll bet your stepdad does, and he’d love this stylish Mason Jar kitchenware set if he’s the main cook in your family. These days, lots of men take the lead on family dinners. This set features a design inspired by those same vintage canning jars. Use each layer of the jar is ready to measure liquids or solids in four sizes – one cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup. It also includes a full set of measuring spoons plus a spoon rest.

Because they’re dishwasher safe, they’re easy to clean. They can be simply stacked back into their jar shape for a cute countertop display.  The Mason Jar Ceramic Cookie Jar is another fun gift idea, especially if you like to make your stepdad homemade cookies on a regular basis.

Since 1973, Lonely Planet has produced the world’s leading travel guides, but if your stepdad is like us, he’ll also want to check out Fodor’s and Rough Guides as well as Lonely Planet guides for the cities he’s planning to visit.

Traveling exposes you to so much good stuff, and some not so good stuff, like people in the seat next to you who want to talk for hours on end. That’s when dad can slip on these Bose noise-cancelling headphones and simply ignore them. The Quiet Comfort 35 II wireless headphones are engineered with world-class noise cancellation that makes quiet sound quieter and music sound better.

A really cool Christmas gift for your bonus dad, especially in his man cave. This cool light fixture looks best when fitted with vintage Edison style bulbs (which are not included.) Needless to say, this design might not fit every single home, but it’s a perfect fit for someone who is into steampunk decor. We’ve also seen similar lights in lots of modern, eclectic, and country homes, and oddly, or miraculously, they seem to look great no matter what the home’s design or the owner’s personal style.

This Edison style chandelier is a great buy and would definitely upgrade the look of any room. Extra bulbs are always a great idea as a gift add-on. A simple Edison style fixture would really dress up any porch, patio, or bathroom.

Does your pop2 like to get comfy for a day of reading and watching his favorite games or movies? Imagine snuggling up under a snuggly, cozy electric throw.

He’ll enjoy the manly sherpa and brown mink look, and this smart blanket senses and adjusts heat to deliver consistent warmth. There are three heat settings and a three-hour auto shut-off feature, plus this toasty throw is machine washable and dryable. In fact, if you get the Amazon Fire Stick streaming device, dad’s tube time can be even more relaxing.

Michael Kors originally started out with a women’s line of clothing in the early ’80s and didn’t really expand into the men’s fashion game until the mid-’90s. Now known all over the world for their outstanding men’s fashion options the Michael Kors line has some absolutely beautiful offerings in the men’s watch department. If you are a man that must have a watch on his wrist or know someone that is, then you need to get yourself this gorgeous watch. 

Every man loves his barbecue grill and all the accoutrements to go with it. You can class up dad’s barbecue act with the gift of this awesome set of barbecue tools.

It comes with a chef spatula, grill tongs, a silicone basting brush, four pairs of corn holders, a grill cleaning brush, two skewers for grilling veggies, plus an extra cleaning brush head, all in a handsome storage case.

The elongated handles all have convenient rings for hanging nearby so he can keep his tools close at hand. The aluminum storage case doubles as a travel carrying case, and keeps the tools safe from the elements during the off-season. For a great grilling experience, consider getting him a remote grill thermometer to keep cook meats perfectly while he waits inside. And because it’s dark at dinner time, get your pitmaster a Grilluminator grilling light so he can see what he’s cooking and when it’s reached the perfect level of doneness.

An aquarium can be a multi-faceted gift idea. Its beauty is undeniable, but the relaxing sound of the water, bubbles and the zen art of watching beautiful tropical fish is equally captivating. This awesome five gallon aquarium kit contains everything your pop will need to get started a new and addictive pastime. The kit includes MarineLand’s three-stage hidden filtration with a Rite-Size Z Cartridge, MarineLand Bio-Foam, and an adjustable flow filter pump.

If the stress of the holidays is too busy for your dad to get a massage, why not bring the massage to him instead? This fun and relaxing gift idea allows him to enjoy a luxurious massage right in the comfort of his own bedroom or living room. Zyllion’s pillow massager gives a fantastic Shiatsu-style massage anytime. The ergonomic construction fits perfectly in the small of his back or neck while its four deep-kneading rotating nodes work wonders to relieve aches, knots and muscle tension.

All your dad has to do is sit back, press the on button, and let their stress melt away. It provides fast-acting relief and it’s quite affordable as well. If his feet are the biggest pain point, get him a Shiatsu foot massager, or consider a foot spa that uses both warm water and massage to relieve those aching dogs.

Men have to deal with hair, and usually, they wish they had more on their head and less on their face, body, nose and ears. But this dandy grooming tool is the perfect gift idea for men. It combines the power of precision with complete versatility for all of his grooming needs. The Remington grooming kit includes a full-size trimmer, foil shaver, nose, ear and detail trimmer, hair clipper comb with eight different length settings, three beard and stubble combs, and a storage/travel pouch.

This is not a “murse”. This is real leather and it’s a messenger bag for men. It will hold all of your stepdad’s important documents and a 17″ laptop. These bags are not only a must-have in an office setting, but they can also be very versatile as well. You don’t need to work in an office to rock one of these sweet bags, you can be a messenger like the name of the bag suggests. Regardless of what you do, you could get some use out of a bag like this. Getting one for a gift is a pleasant surprise when he opens it on Christmas morning.

Cufflinks are a fantastic gift idea. Most guys don’t know to buy cufflinks before it’s too late. That is why getting them as a gift is a big thing for a guy. They are shiny and good-looking and come in a gift box that will hold the inks any time you aren’t wearing them. On top of it all, every time you put these bad boys on, you will feel like Jame Bond getting ready to go grab a martini. Don’t be the guy that waits too long to buy a sexy pair of cufflinks, or don’t be the person that passes up the chance to get your guy a pair of cufflinks, then ask him to join you at a wedding, the perfect place for him to rock those dope cufflinks you got him.

You don’t need to be a logger or construction worker to get good use out of a stellar work boot. Some tips though, for when you grab yourself a resilient and durable pair of boots. Steel toe is an absolute must-have. Also, get yourself a pair that are waterproof. You want to be able to do nearly anything in these boots without harming them. You can hunt, hike, fish, or work around the back yard or garden in these gorgeous boots. Versatility is key, and these boots are as versatile as anything out there. I prefer to go with a black pair of work boots, but dark brown and light brown are also clutch colors that won’t do you wrong.

Socks can be a tricky buy for the average guy. Most guys just go to the store and grab the biggest pack of socks they can find. Usually, a black or a white sock and then they are done shopping. You should know that socks can be just as much of a fashion statement as a great jacket or shirt or pair of pants. These cotton socks are colorful, comfortable and have that argyle flair to them. These are obviously more of a dress sock than the ten-pack you pick up at the mall, but if you dress up for work, you need dressier socks. These will do the trick. They come in a ton of colors and designs, but to me, the pink argyle is tops. They may seem like an afterthought gift idea for men, but they are actually a great gift idea for the man that has trouble shopping for socks.

It’s getting near that time of year where the temperature drops and the clothes get thicker. If you’re lucky enough to live in an area that gets to have a year-round summer then this winter jacket probably won’t do much for you. But the other half of the country will most likely need something this warm and comfortable for the upcoming winter. The North Face is known for keeping folks warm during the colder months. They do so while also keeping you looking great. Just because you are covering the rest of your outfit with this jacket doesn’t mean you should sacrifice how cool you look. Coming in over a dozen different color combinations you are going to love how this parka looks on you, while it fights away the snow and ice and wind of the colder months.

Way back in 1928, in Chicago, Illinois, Cole Haan got its start as a men’s footwear company. 90 plus years later and they are still producing some of the sexiest men’s shoes and boots globally. The Chukka boot has become one of the most popular boot designs in the world and these from Cole Haan are no exception. In black or brown these waterproof boots are a must-have. They are versatile enough to be worn casually as well as in a formal work setting. You could even wear them to a wedding if you’re the groom. These boots are tough and comfortable and great to look at. They might be an everyday pair of kicks if you grab yourself a pair. 

A truly nice fitting and looking cardigan style sweater can really tie an outfit together for a man. Blazers and sportcoats are great, but a nice sweater will allow for a bit more movement and be a lot more comfortable. They are also still considered formal-wear and can be worn in an office setting without issue. Depending on the material used, typically wool, the sweater will also be a warmer option. They are higher maintenance than a hoodie or sweatshirt, but something that is put together like this should be. I recommend sticking with a solid color unless you’re going for an “ugly Christmas sweater” look. Navy blue, black or dark brown even a dark gray is a good choice. Lighter colors are okay too as long as you wear the right shirt and tie underneath.

Lacoste, the original tennis shoe is now one of the most fashionable shoes on the planet. Made famous by the little green alligator on all of their clothes Lacoste has come a long way from the tennis courts of France. While you can barely see the alligator on the side of these pearly white kicks, trust me, it is there and the lines and design of these shoes are Lacoste through and through. White shoes can be a bit more high maintenance than black shoes or work boots, but when they are clean and sitting beneath a great pair of jeans or khakis, they look gorgeous and are worth the extra bit of work. Getting these as a gift this holiday season will for sure put a smile on your face.

When it comes to staying warm in the winter, The North Face is one of the go-to outdoor clothing makers in the world. While their roots are in San Francisco, their jackets have summited every major peak in the world. Other super warm winter coats are bulky and keep you warm by layering. The North Face makes coats and jackets that are warm but don’t weigh you down or restrict your movement. You can be completely comfortable while you’re climbing Everest in one of these good-looking coats. They come in a ton of different colors so you can get one that speaks to you and reflects your specific style.

Making the perfect espresso is not only time consuming, it’s difficult and unlikely that you’ll actually get a great cup of espresso. But Nespresso has set out to fix that problem with the Nespresso Pixie Espress Maker. It basically works like a Keurig does for coffee, but instead of coffee, it takes espresso pods. The Nespresso Pixie Espresso Maker will deliver an espresso to him using one of the capsules (think K-Cups) with a flawless espresso every time. So if he’s done trying to make his own espressos with some crappy espresso maker, pick up a Nespresso Pixie Espresso Maker.

Don’t let the higher price of entry stop you from picking up Philips Hue Personal Wireless Lighting bulbs for your stepdad. These 9-watt (60-Watt replacement) Hue bulbs use LED technology to deliver up to 80 percent energy savings and a long life of 15,000 hours. That’s right — 15,000 hours. He’ll also able to control the lights with his smartphone (and devices like Alexa and Google Assistant), as well as change the colors if he wants to give any room a certain aura (color lighting does that, and he can choose from 16 million colors). A starter pack of these includes 3 bulbs and the base for $199, but their function and lifetime make it worth it.

Do yourself a favor and throw his basic $4 universal remote in the garbage can — that’s not a man cave-approved remote control, sorry. And, let’s face it, you lose it all too often anyway. One cool gadget you can get for your stepdad is a Logitech Harmony Home Control, a universal smart remote and base that allows you to use your smartphone as a remote as well. The device not only works with the majority of your entertainment devices, but also your home automation devices like Philips Hue or Nest Learning Thermostat (so you can lower the lights or change the temperature without even leaving your seat). The Logitech Harmony Home control works with over 270,000 devices, including TVs, satellite and cable boxes, blu-ray players, Apple TV, Roku, Sonos, Xbox, Philips Hue and more.

Every man needs a pair of great sunglasses. For some reason, sunglasses are one of those items that always seem to get lost or broken, so a new pair is always in order. These have a lightweight frame which is so important if your best man is hoping to wear these for long periods without feeling any pressure on his face. Since they’re quality-made they can withstand some normal wear and tear that sunglasses typically experience, but also come with a soft case for protection. This model is non-polarized, but if you do decide to go with the polarized model there are some pros and cons, the biggest con being that it’s truly difficult to read anything digital with these on. If you like the idea of gifting sunglasses but this style isn’t quite right for your best man, you can check out some other styles from top designers here.
