Men are simple creatures. Food, shelter, and, er, friendship is all we really need. When it comes to gifts, the staples of life are great but if some further fun is thrown into the mix, who are we to argue?
If you’ve been stumped for an interesting gift idea for that man in your life, we’re here to help. This is the gift guide for anyone seeking unique gifts for men. The items on this list don’t necessarily have a point like a tool with a specific purpose for a plumber or an engineer. These gifts are just plain fun and interesting.
If he’s already got everything else, start thinking digitally! That is – start thinking about a digital gift! Now, there’s a lot of potential for digital gifts that you can have sent right to his email (which, of course, is ultra-relevant right now), but one of the best digital gifts for men is an ESPN+ gift subscription for a full year of the streaming service. Does he love sports? ESPN+ is, of course, loaded with sports content, including MLB, NHL, and MLS, as well as UFC content (like Fight Nights and exclusive PPVs). It’s the perfect streaming service for those obsessed with sports.
The League of Regrettable Super-Villiansby Jonathan Morris is one of my personal favorite coffee books of all-time. This book is full of unbelievably bad super-villains from the past 50 years. Look, not everyone can live up to the maniacal greatness of Doctor Doom or Lex Luthor or Galactus but you’ve got to at least try to instill fear into the hearts of your wailing victims.
The book contains 100 of the strangest and silliest super-villains ever to hit the pages of a comic book. You’ll be introduced to baddies like MODOK and Egg Fu and (wait for it) Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. Yeah. It’s as weird as you’re thinking. Many, many more tragically weird villains are in the book that, bless them, tried to create some intense drama. Nice try, guys. Mr. Morris has also written about regrettable superheroes and regrettable sidekicks as well.
Don’t let the name of this unique gift spook you. Secret Hitler is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in Germany in the 1930s. Players are secretly divided into two teams: liberals and fascists. Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader.
The liberal goal: Find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late. Each round, players elect a President and a Chancellor who will work together to enact a law from a random deck. If the government passes a fascist law, players must try to figure out if they were betrayed or simply unlucky.
Secret Hitler also features government powers that come into play as fascism advances. The fascists will use those powers to create chaos unless liberals can pull the nation back from the brink of war. I saw online that this game is also known as “Secret Voldemort” in some circles and takes on a Harry Potter bent when played.
Shopping for a beer aficionado who already has all the barware anyone could ever need? He may not have the Asobu Pint Glass with Beer Opener Base. These unusual pint glasses feature a bottle opener built right into the base of each glass. That is a darned fine useful gift for any beer lover.
The glasses can be stacked for easy storage when not in use, are dishwasher-safe, and BPA-free. And with the stainless steel base, you know there won’t be any arguing with stubborn bottlecaps. Pair this gift with a six-pack of his favorite microbrew or a copy of Goodnight Brew: A Parody for Beer People or maybe even a beer briefcase. Yes, you heard me.
Why would you want to put a notebook in the microwave? Well, in the case of the Pocketbook Wave, popping your notebook in the microwave actually erases the pages. This makes this notebook both smart and green since you can erase and reuse your notebook up to five times using the microwave.
The secret is using a special Pilot FriXion pen, which uses a special kind of ink that turns clear at 140 degrees F. Each notebook comes with one of these special pens, but you should pick up more for when your lucky gift recipient loses their first pen. You can browse Pilot FriXion pens on sale at Amazon.
Beyond the microwaveable aspects, this is a really cool smart notebook. You can take longhand notes in the notebook, and then transfer them to your favorite cloud services from within the Rocketbook mobile app. Just hold your phone above the book and flip the pages. In milliseconds, the Rocketbook app detects your pages, scans them in, and produces crisp images.
Each page of the notebook also has special symbols along the bottom of the page. When you mark certain images and then upload your work, you will automatically send high-resolution images to the destinations you’ve configured in the Rocketbook app. The app “sees” your marks and sends your notes to the places they belong online, making it easy to keep notes organized across different projects. Rocketbook plays nice with Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, and iCloud.
This is a unique gift for a writer, artist, student, or anyone who wants to channel their inner James Bond with a microwavable notebook that can erase their secret diary in mere moments. This is also a great collaborative tool for business, or for families who need help communicating better.
Lord of the Rings, Vikings, Game of Thrones…there is plenty of content out there that necessitates a man having his very own Viking Drinking Horn like this one from AleHorn. Each Drinking Horn is crafted from a genuine ox horn and features an interior coated with a food-safe lacquer. And don’t worry: each horn is ethically sourced and GSP Wildlife Certified.
The drinking horns are handcrafted making each one unique meaning there are no two alike. This gift is for the man who desires to feel like a warrior king. This horn is for him and him alone. A branded canvas bag for the horn is included so gift wrap isn’t even required.
Horns come in 16, 24, and 32-ounce sizes and make amazing gifts for wedding parties, fraternity brothers, or family reunions. Basically, Drinking Horns are good for anyone who appreciates stout beer. Skol!
Every man dreamed about being an astronaut, an NFL quarterback, or President of the United States. This t-shirt from Trunk Candy takes care of the first dream, anyway. The shirt is available in 11 colors and emblazoned with the original NASA logo.
This tee is made from a super-soft cotton/polyester tri-blend, features a modern fit crew neck, and should maintain its size when machine washed and dried. Worn under a fashionable coat or blazer, this shirt can be a great look for a night out. Every guy in the place will see that NASA logo and say to themselves, “That guy gets it.”
Need a unique gift for the guy who is devoted to his dogs? The iFetch is a cool gift that can help him bond with his furry friends. The iFetch is an interactive ball throwing toy for dogs and puppies. iFetch can be used both indoors or outdoors and can be adjusted to throw a ball 10, 20, or 30 feet away, making it ideal for multiple breeds and dogs of different ages. The iFetch comes with three small balls. If you need more, a pack of five additional mini tennis balls is available.
This is a great gift for someone who loves gadgets as much as they love their dog. It’s also a particularly nice gift for older pet owners who have arthritis or limited mobility. A larger version of this product, the iFetch Too, throws regular sized tennis balls. A smaller toy, the iFetch Frenzy, may be best for those on a tight budget.
Until I started researching unique gifts for men, I wasn’t even aware that vacuum tube amplifiers were produced anymore. The Rockville BluTube is a 70 Watt amplifier for home theater or stereo receiver applications. There’s still something about the warm, organic sound that vacuum tubes produce that modern solid-state equipment just can’t replicate.
Tube amps like the Rockville BluTube don’t clip audio even at high volumes. You’ll immediately notice the rich bass and soothing mid-range tones t hi amplifier can put out. The front control panel features a USB slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, a two-band EQ (bass and treble), volume meter, input toggle switch, and main volume hub. The back features connections for two speakers as well as RCA connections to connect peripherals.
The Rockville BluTube can handle home theater speakers as well as large PA speakers for professional applications. In fact, a tube amp like this one will enhance cheap speakers to sound a lot better than they should. They used to call this “outkicking your coverage”. In addition, its Bluetooth connectivity is great for streaming content as well.
But apart from all the technical advantages that this tube amp provides is its incredible look. I chose this wood version to show you because it’s all sorts of Mad Men cool. The stainless combined with the wood sides is timeless, classy, and gorgeous. Rockville also makes this unit in a basic black and black with LED lights. Do yourself a favor and get your man the wood version and listen to some jazz with a drink in a rocks glass.
Need a quirky stocking stuffer for a chocolate lover? Theodent is chocolate-flavored toothpaste, perfect for guys with a serious sweet tooth. Theodent contains a non-toxic alternative to fluoride, called Rennou. Rennou is a blend of theobromine (cacao extract), calcium, and phosphate, designed to maximize enamel re-mineralization.
In addition to tasting great, this toothpaste is also great for guys with tooth sensitivity. In a clinical study, Theodent was proven superior to Sensodyne toothpaste across four different measurements for dental hypersensitivity. Another unique toothpaste to consider is Marvis, a European brand that features unusual flavors like Jasmine Mint and Amarelli Licorice.
Looking for a unique gift for a friend who is passionate about history, LGBTQ issues, or photography? Dear Friends: American Photographs of Men Together, 1840-1918 is a book that focuses on friendship in the 1800s. Featuring 100 early photographs, drawn from both public and private collections, this book offers a tantalizing glimpse at male friendships and male relationships in the Victorian era.
In addition to the photographs, the book features a 50-page essay by author and historian David Deitcher that delves into the historical aspects of the men of this era. Ultimately, each photo is ambiguous, with the reader left to decide if the men featured in each picture are platonic friends, or romantically involved. A related title that may also be of interest is Love Stories: Sex Between Men Before Homosexuality.
The ukulele is underrated, both as an instrument and as a producer of amazing sounds. Get your guy this Luna Tattoo Concert Ukelele and enjoy not only the smile it will bring to his face but the tunes he’ll immediately want to start playing. The island grooves wills start flowing almost as soon as this gift is opened.
The Tattoo Concert design takes its cue from traditional Hawaiian body ornamentation: monochromatic, tattooed in black against brown skin. The patterns and layout are strongly geometric with many shapes and symbols representing the natural world. The fret markers are even stylized shark teeth to bring it all home.
The sound is clean and clear due to the overall shape of the instrument and the mahogany wood used in the build. It offers beautiful sound at a tremendous value and a branded travel bag is included. Make sure to pick up a book to learn how to play like 21 Songs in 6 Days: Learn Ukulele the Easy Way: Ukulele Songbook.
Google Glass may have been a flop, but smart eyeglasses still make for a cool idea…especially if you can get them at an affordable price. Compared to what the Google Glass cost, these smart glasses are a steal. Technically, the TheiaPro is simply a camera. See, you have to provide the glasses.
The device is fairly easy to install on your favorite pair of glasses or sunglasses. We actually like that this camera doesn’t come with a pair of glasses, since this makes it a little easier to mesh the camera with someone’s personal style.
TheiaPro’s HD camera records in full 1080p and offers expandable storage up to 32GB. No more pulling out a device, opening an app, and focusing a camera to capture an image. Just look and capture with a press of a button. A built-in flashlight helps you to see in the dark and ensures night recordings will record better.
We also like the fact that the TheiaPro comes with onboard Wi-Fi, allowing you to stream the content being recorded on your glasses to a dedicated smartphone app in realtime. Know someone who loves gadgets or photography? This is the gift to make their day.
The SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher is a gadget for remotely pressing buttons or switches. It works with rocker switches, protruding push buttons, non-protruding pushbuttons, toggle switches, tactile buttons, and capacitive buttons. Yep, it can handle all sorts of buttons.
The Push can press buttons and also hold buttons down for a number of seconds. The Push can be used to make a “dumb” appliance “smart”. For example, it can be used to remotely activate an appliance remotely. You can also use a Push robot to activate a button that’s in a hard-to-reach place, such as behind a TV or on a ceiling.
This is a great gift for hackers, tinkerers, or anyone who just likes to play around with gadgets. It’s compatible with iOS, Android, and Prota OS for Raspberry Pi. The SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher can be easily attached anywhere with Sugru putty, and is powered for up to one year by batteries alone.
So I included this Men’s Sterling Silver Bulldog Ring on the list because I know that there are some men out there that would absolutely love to wear it on a regular basis. The man that wears this either loves humor or is incredibly self-assured or just simply enjoys the company of canines. Whatever the reason, make way.
Either way, just look at that face. It’s just piercing you with its gaze hoping against hope that you’ll get off the couch and do something, anything, with your favorite four-legged friend.
“Take me for a walk, dad.”
“I’m hungry, dad.”
“I love you, dad. IloveyouIloveyouIloveyouIloveyou.”
Is your man a Potterhead? While it may have flown under the radar for many fans, We Are Wizards is definitely a solid gift idea for adult Harry Potter fans. The documentary explores some of the fringe elements of Harry Potter fandom, including “Wizard Rock” bands, the rise of Harry Potter fan sites, and the story of Brad Neely’s infamous “Wizard People, Dear Reader” audiobook.
This documentary explores the passion of the Harry Potter fandom (as a Star Wars fan I understand the mania, believe me), as well as exploring the intersection between having fun and intellectual property law. It’s a fascinating documentary for any Muggle whomever wanted to visit Hogwarts. If you’re looking for a unique gift for a Harry Potter fan who already owns pretty much every piece of official merch, this fun documentary is a nice choice.
Sometimes a personalized gift is a great way to make whomever it’s being given to feel extra special. This whiskey flask can be customized with the name and town of the person it’s being given to make it feel authentic, as if their personal distillery actually exists. The bottle is a handmade custom item that will surely be appreciated for years to come.
It generally takes approximately three days to create and ship, so don’t delay in ordering to get enough lead time before the holidays. The flask is a classic gift for a man who enjoys a nip now and then. However, If you’re shopping for someone who isn’t a whiskey drinker, might we suggest this set of pint glasses with a customized city street map?
Want to get him a unique piece of furniture? Do you have some discretionary income burning a hole in your pocket? Then please to be looking at this portable and lightweight Roorkhee Chair. Handmade of whichever hardwood you wish (the one in the photo is made of solid cherry) with aged bronze hardware, and brown leather, this amazingly comfortable chair is ideal for guys with a classic sense of style.
Otherwise known as Campaign chairs, they were commonly used by British military officers in far-flung corners of the globe. Today, it remains a popular chair for adventurers, safari guides, and campers. They weigh around 12 pounds and can be quickly taken apart for transport. The wooden pieces aren’t glued to one another so that the chair sits flat and secure on any uneven ground.
Dekalog is a series of ten films, each loosely inspired by and structured according to the Ten Commandments. This Blu-ray disc is an ideal gift for anyone who loves and appreciates unique films; this foreign masterpiece is definitely an inspired choice for the man you will give it to.
Each short film focuses on the moral or ethical issues faced by characters living in a group of apartments in Poland during the 1980s. This film series is a hidden gem that isn’t well known in America, making it perfect for a film buff who seemingly owns every other movie imaginable.
Director Stanley Kubrick was an enormous fan of Dekalog when it originally premiered which means you know it’s going to be weird and wonderful. Want to learn about other rare and unique films that might appeal to your film buff? Browse more titles from The Criterion Collection here.
Runamok specializes in gourmet maple syrups with funky flavors. We think most men will gravitate towards this syrup aged in bourbon barrels (because yum), but the company also cooks up other flavors such as cardamom, cinnamon, lime, and elderberry. Syrup aged in rum or rye barrels is maybe one of the best things on the planet.
Besides being perfect for cocktails, this bourbon barrel-aged elixir is amazing for baking or drizzling over favorite breakfast foods. If you’re like me and simply can’t pick just one flavor? Runamok offers gift sets of three or more flavors which would be an incredibly awesome gift for your man during the holidays.
The Grown Man Mini Beer Pong Set is the perfect drinking game for your next party or tailgating party. The game comes with ten recessed shot glass holes per side and a water-resistant coating because, you know, beer. It’s ideal for all sorts of fun-filled party times including happy hour, pre-gaming, house parties, reunions, and more, when we’re able to get together again, that is.
The game board features two catapults and a tethered ball that can be launched from three different launching positions to obtain maximum accuracy. Rubber, skid-resistant legs ensure that the game stays in place while playing unless things get crazy and a table is upended or something. Mini Beer Pong can be played virtually anywhere there’s a flat surface. Stackable cups allow for easy storage so plan on taking the Grown Man Game anywhere.
Looking for a unique gift for a guy who travels all the time? The Illumy smart sleep mask is ideal for combatting jet lag, or for tracking sleep quality. The mask uses the same light technology that NASA is using to help induce natural sleep cycles on space stations.
A companion smartphone app helps users track their sleep and get insights into their sleep patterns. This is a great gift for travelers, guys with sleep problems, or men who work irregular shifts and have a hard time establishing a regular sleep pattern.
Looking for a stocking stuffer or small gift for someone? BottleLoft is a simple, unique gift great for men looking to maximize fridge space. These powerful magnets affix to the top of the fridge, making it possible to “hang” bottles of beer or soda from the top of the fridge. This frees up shelf space for bulkier items.
The strips install in seconds and feature 3M adhesive paired with high-grade neodymium magnets. To make this gift more unique, we recommend pairing it with some unique sodas. We recommend a mixed pack of Dad’s old fashioned sodas or a sampler of high-end British soft drinks from Fentimans.
This Little Bit of Spain assortment of gourmet foodstuffs is a great gift idea for those who are passionate about Mediterranean food. This set of gourmet items includes Jamon Serrano (cured Spanish ham), manchego cheese, wine cheese, mahon cheese, Spanish olives, macron almonds, chorizo, and Tortas de Aciete (an olive oil and anise cracker). All told, there’s over three pounds of Spanish treats in the box.
Imagine the man that you’re giving this delicious gift basket to smile big when it’s opened. He can remember that trip to warm, sunny España, relaxing at that cafetéria where you both met. That tapas plate? Amazing. And the glass of Rioja to go with it? Also amazing. This isn’t just a food basket, it’s a time capsule of memories.
This cool (and somewhat dangerous looking) knife from Northern Crescent Iron is a great gift for guys who appreciate extremely sharp things. Each knife is forged from a genuine railroad spike. Each is handmade and may vary slightly in both length and appearance.
General dimensions are a blade between four and five inches long with a five-inch handle. If you want to make this gift more unique, personalize it by having initials or a date stamped onto the end of the handle. There is a limit of 10 total characters.
This is a handmade item that usually takes a few days to create, so keep that in mind when you order, and make sure you plan enough time for the item to be crafted and shipped. If the knife isn’t quite the right thing, you may also like this artisan’s railroad spike bottle opener.
Each pair of these pint glasses with a ski lift illustration were designed and printed by hand in Estes Park, Colorado where they know what ski lifts should look like. Each pint glass holds (shocker!) 16 ounces of delicious beverage. These glasses make a great gift for skiers, snowboarders, or anyone who loves winter.
They’re dishwasher safe and printed using food-safe ink. We’d recommend you hand wash incredible pieces of art like this as the design may last longer and stay vivid. If you’re looking for more unusual glassware, you can browse other cool designs from Black Lantern here. Their Kraken vs. Submarine glasses are truly choice.
Hard as it may be to believe, 3D scanners like this Matter & Form MFS1V1 3D Scanner are becoming an ordinary reality in millions of homes across the country. In other words, 3D scanners are becoming an increasingly popular gift. A 3D scanner will convert measurements of a physical object into a digital file that may then be used to print a replacement on a 3D printer.
This is a great way to make tech parts, gaming rigs, or even replacement parts for a broken appliance or automobile. Matter and Form’s scanner gets our vote because it works seamlessly with both Mac and Windows platforms. It also will arrive fully assembled. This scanner works with nearly all 3D printers and online printing services currently available.
Want to go all out and get him a 3D printer, too? If you’re looking to go high-end, we recommend the MakerGear M2, which is made in the USA and works with multiple filament types. If you need to stick to a budget, the Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer strikes a good balance between price and functionality.
Razors and shaving sets are sort of a dime-a-dozen type gift for the holidays, but the Pacific Shaving Company Caffeinated Shaving Set injects a little nitro racing fuel to the concept. This take on men’s grooming products is unique and definitely gift-worthy this holiday season.
Both the shaving cream and aftershave are caffeinated, making this is a fun gift for any guy who has trouble waking up in the morning. Aloe is included in the formula to moisturize and reduce the appearance of redness. Whether he uses this set every day or just on the mornings when he’s had too much evening the night before, this shaving gift set will definitely make him think of you every time he shaves.
This is a fun gift for young men, or for older guys who want to revisit a hobby (and maybe a sprained hip) from their youth. The SkaterTrainer 2.0 is basically an accessory that stops skateboard wheels from rolling. This helps a novice skater to perfect their balance, as well as more safely practice moves like the Ollie or Kick Flip.
SkaterTrainers work on nearly any skateboard wheels between 49 and 65mm in diameter. Once you’ve built the muscle memory for executing and landing the trick correctly, you can then remove the SkaterTrainers and start doing the tricks for real. It’s also a fun gift to give to a dad and his kids, so they can practice safely together.
There’s just so much going on here with this incredible art print entitled Catzilla vs Robot Animal Battle in NYC. Framed in black wood and measuring 14 inches by 20 inches, this piece of amazing kitsch deserves a place of honor above the fireplace hearth, family room wall, or…what? Man cave? Okay, honey. Whatever you say.
Look at the steely eyes of the feline monster attempting to save the world’s greatest city, his claws at the ready. The cold stare of the evil robot threatens to wreck Gotham and rid the planet of the greatest giant hero ever to purr around. What’s that helicopter doing? Is that a laser underneath? A nuke?
Seriously, this print will break the ice at a thousand parties and keep conversation going for hours over cold beers and some nachos. One last thing: the lightning represents the tense struggle versus elementals in the natural world. Look it up.

Gaming chairs, like this one from Devoko, are always a great go-to option when it comes to gift-giving for men and that’s even more so when you’re giving a gift to a 20-to-35-year-old. Devoko has produced an excellent gaming chair that features a removable headrest pillow, supportive lumbar pillow, and adjustable armrests. It’s also available in black with three choices of accent colors.
The seat and back are stitched with a diamond-shaped cross pattern that strengthens the cushions as well as increases the load-bearing capacity. 360-degree swivel rotation and rolling wheels keep things smooth and mobile. The backrest is adjustable between 90 and 160 degrees so the user can dial in the ultimate in comfortable positions. Plus, it can support up to 330 pounds for those men of larger carriage.
A brand new Fitbit watch may coerce a guy to get active, and this Fitbit Ionic Smart Watch is one of the better-looking smartwatches on the market. It’s super easy to set up and use and comes with both different sizes of wrist bands. Dial in the perfect size for him so that it feels comfortable when wearing all day long and even to sleep.

If he doesn’t already have bias lighting for his TV, get your guy a Luminoodle Color Bias Lighting package. These awesome LED light strips make viewing TV or a gaming monitor a lot more interesting. The lights backlight the wall, making the viewing experience better through increasing color depths onscreen. They also reduce eyestrain as well.
Installation is fairly simple: wipe down the back of your monitor with a cleaner safe for plastics, adhere the strip lights where you want them, and plug the USB into a support slot on the monitor. The strip provides 15 colors and ten brightness levels as well as a fade mode. Three sizes are available to fit whatever size screen you have to light up.
Get the game started with this nostalgic set of coasters that look like classic Nintendo Entertainment System game cartridges. Not only will they save the furniture from nasty water rings but they’ll blast you back to the past with their classic 8-bit coolness.
Imagine how impressed all your nerd (that’s a compliment) friends will be with all eight of these double-sided coasters sporting graphics from Donkey Kong, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, and more. And not only do they look like the old cartridges but they’re the same size as well. Totally fun and retro. Buy them.
Headphones make a great gift but for a different spin on earbuds, take a look at these AfterShokz Trekz Titanium Bone Conduction Headphones. They operate using bone conduction technology. How do they work? They rest on the top of your ears to deliver audio through your cheekbones so your ears remain completely open to your immediate surroundings.
They’re truly wireless with Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity that will conveniently multipoint pairing that works with iOS and Android smartphones along with tablets, computers, and gadgets that are Bluetooth-capable. Trekz wraparound headbands are lightweight and flexible to ensure comfort during extended wear. Combined with a long battery life, this compact fit allows you to enjoy continuous music and calls for up to six hours at a go.
Men enjoy having some illusion of their lives so anything that’s radio-controlled makes a great gift. This FMTStore Radio Control Vector Race Boat is a machine that performs well, responds immediately to signals, and just plain hauls across the water at an extremely fast clip. Like 55 MPH fast.
The Vector measures 80cm from stem to stern and requires very little assembly to get going. A pistol grip transmitter uses 2.4GHz signal for clear transmission and fun times. The water-cooled marine motor is brushless for maximum efficiency and compatible with a 3S and 4S battery. The battery and charger are NOT included so keep that in mind if you want to be running right out of the box.
So here’s the story with this collectible six-pack of Batman action figures sporting costumes in every color of the rainbow. When Detective Comics #241 was released way, way back in 1957, comic book writers were in a real quandary. McCarthyism ran rampant through the country, blacklisting entertainers and labeling innocent people as Communists left and right.
Comic books were looked at as instruments of corruption, fouling the minds of young people. The Comics Code Authority was introduced in order to keep a check on those nasty cartoon stories. As a result, stories such as “The Rainbow Batman” were created in an attempt for the publishers to stay in business. Comic books finally regained their edge starting in the 1970s but, wow, it was a silly, tough run getting through those spooky years.
This six-pack of rainbow Batmen pays homage to the story contained in Detective Comics #241. Bruce Wayne (spoiler: he’s Batman) must wear a different colored costume each night of the week to (get this) protect Robin. See, Dick Grayson (spoiler: he’s Robin) injured himself and if the crooks noticed that Robin was injured in the same way, they might figure out his secret identity. Ah, the 1950s.
Made for attracting attention and to cool down your drink, this ice cube mold in the shape of a grenade will definitely do both. Imagine the looks thrown your way when you have an ice block the size and shape of a hand grenade in your rocks glass.
This cool little gift makes a great stocking stuffer for men especially if they’re a fan of video games such as Call of Duty or Battlefield. The mold is made of food-grade silicone, easy to use, and flexible. The package comes with three life-size grenade molds, not the mini version those other posers make. Oorah!
If your man likes his bling, then this Yantouch IceDiamond Plus Wireless Speaker will be right up his alley. Most likely the most unique Bluetooth speakers that you’ll find on the market, the IceDiamond features great speakers that provide clear highs and mid-range audio with super-powerful bass.
The clear top covers an LED light array that can be set to different colors and also beat to the tempo of the audio playing played. Either blast the light show or loop through all of the colors slowly: it’s up to you, Mr. Deejay. The included remote control provides a million different options for you to play with.
Rated as one of the best robot vacuums by Tom’s Guide, the Eufy is a robovac that’s been engineered to be one of the slimmest out there but whisper-quiet with effective suction power. The onboard BoostIQ technology automatically increases suction power within a second and a half when extra vacuuming strength is required.
The Eufy keeps going for up to 100 minutes on hardwood floors with consistent, powerful suction at a volume no louder than your working microwave. The anti-scratch cover is made of tempered glass for protection and there is an infrared sensor so the Eufy will avoid obstacles and sense changes in elevation.

Second: if you’re not familiar with the work of one Mr. Ralph McQuarrie, it’s safe to say that nothing about Star Wars, not the films, not the merchandise, and certainly not the long-lasting fan base, would have existed if it hadn’t been for this genius. This enormous two-volume collection celebrates the masterpiece artistry that was his life’s work.
George Lucas hired Ralph because of his work on providing illustrations to the national news channels during the Apollo moon missions. See, George wanted someone whom he could work with to produce artwork that might sell the idea of Star Wars to a movie studio. Lucky for him, George found the right guy and the rest is history.
These books feature concepts, production paintings, costumes, posters, album covers, and even Lucasfilm’s annual holiday cards. All of it has been rescanned and re-photographed specifically for this collection. Never-before-seen illustrations numbering in the hundreds are here as well as unpublished interviews and recollections from Ralph’s colleagues and friends.

The high-resolution images will allow you to achieve realistic results and the single-sided pages will prevent bleeding through (ha) and damaging the next serial killer in line to be colored.
I’ll admit this is a different type of gift but you are looking at a list of unique gifts for men, are you not? This Tibetan Singing Bowl is made in the foothills of the Himalayans by artisans who not only craft the bowls by hand but play them as well.
The designs are etched, not painted, on the surface. A dual-surface mallet is made from wood found in the same area that the bowls are made and partly wrapped in suede to produce pure, soothing, peaceful sounds. An included hand-sewn silk cushion keeps the bowl steady and adds a nice touch to the set.
Any guy who’s into yoga, spiritual mediation, or music will greatly appreciate the unique aspect of this gift.

This 10-Inch Handmade Damascus Steel Knife made by Bigcat Roar can handle any cutting job you need done in the field. Listen, knives are knives, but this is a KNIFE. The Damascus steel blade is built well into the handle without any joints or welds. The knife has a classic look and an ergonomic handle with an overall length of 10 inches with a blade length of five inches and a 5mm thickness.
What’s Damascus steel, you ask? The knife is the result of untold hours of forging; the blade is folded 5 times starting from 9 layers of 1080 and 15N20 steel which means there are approximately 288 layers of metal that exist all the way to the edge. The effect can be seen at a microscopic level allowing the blade to remain sharp while lesser blades will have dulled.

Sort of Coal specializes in producing functional products made of white charcoal that purify the body naturally. Typically, guys just find the cheapest soap and shampoo on the shelf but they’re not always the best for skin and hair. This Kuro Shampoo uses white charcoal as a central element to get a man clean in a way that is masculine and also excellent for him.
Some background: white charcoal contains more than 90 percent pure carbon which has an amazing ability to absorb dirt and oil because of its porous surface. It’s made from individually selected, slow-growing hardwood but differs from regular charcoal in just about every other way. The natural minerals that the trees absorb as they grow are captured, imparting the white charcoal with purifying and detoxifying effects.
The trees that are used for this process are encouraged by craftsmen to stimulate new growth. These new branches absorb higher levels of CO2 than their predecessors which this planet could use more of these days. Here’s the bottom line: it’s really good shampoo that smells like a campfire (awesome) which is really the only thing your guy cares about.

He’s very likely the only chef in the world with the knowledge to provide such a candid look at Japanese cuisine for a Western audience.

The design uses directional-freezing to remove and isolate air bubbles. Fewer air bubbles mean less of a chance that your ice will break up in a drink.

Bob’s Burgers is a hilarious television show and the Bob’s Burgers: Belcher Family Food Fight game will keep the laughs going after the show is over. The object is to be the first player to clear the plate of ingredients and declare yourself the head chef. Each player must hijack their opponents by moving their own food to the plates on their left and right.
Game time is fast and furious, just around 15 minutes for the players (three to six may play) to simultaneously roll dice and quickly move the food pieces according to the direction, quantity, and color indicated on the dice. The box includes six placemats with the goofy Bob’s Burgers cast on them, 18 dice, a central playing mat, 60 colored ingredient pieces, and 13 spatula trophies.
