20 Gifts Your Husband Will Actually Want For Christmas This Year

Living on the South Carolina coast, we spend a lot of time outdoors doing things like beaching, boating, fishing, and camping. And since my husband is in the golf industry, he spends every minute he’s not with us out on a course. So he’s been searching for a while for the perfect easy-to-carry cooler. This new Titan Pro cooler is perfect — it can hold 36 cans, keeps ice icy for days, is super durable, and features a shoulder strap that converts to a compression strap with grab handle to make toting it comfortable and convenient. He also loves that it has a dry cargo compartment to stash his phone and keys. — Julie Sprankles, Deputy Editor of Lifestyle & Entertainment at Scary Mommy

These are the softest boxer briefs on the planet, made with moisture-wicking material and a super soft elastic waistband that stretches for comfort, but won’t completely stretch out like some of the other brands. The best part though is the “Mansack” — designed to hold and separate your man’s business from his legs to prevent chafing. — Katie Garrity, Editor, News & Social

My husband’s go-to casual jacket is a random Northface he found abandoned in a bar like six years ago. It was time for an upgrade. This jacket looks sharp yet a little rugged, is super well-made, and the hood can be removed for a collar-only look. He loves it, and I love it on him. — Katie McPherson, Associate Editor, Lifestyle & Entertainment

If you have a partner who loves gadgets, then you know the never-ending cord and charger organization struggle. Having a designated case for all those loose ends makes a world of difference when it comes to actually finding the cords and power blocks my husband needs, not to mention my overall sanity. — Katie Garrity

It was never a phase, Mom! This coffee table book compiles album covers from the sound of a generation (though we’re still listening to all of them, TBH). This book is such a great dose of nostalgia filled with old favorites and some albums I'd never heard of but immediately added to my playlist. It’s a perfect gift for a music-loving guy who was all in on this era. — Katie Garrity

If your husband ever slows down by the Games Workshop store, or he knows what you get the Blood God for Christmas (hint: it's blood), or he's ever expressed an interest in painting tiny men, this is a great collection to help him dip his toes in the water. Comes with paints, dice, counters, minis, and rules. — Jamie Kenney, Associate Editor, News & Entertainment

My husband is a firm believer that if you have the right gadgets, you can solve pretty much any problem. Not surprisingly, he particularly appreciates a good multitasking gadget. Honestly, I wish I had caught the childlike glee in this grown man’s eyes on camera when he discovered the AutoBoost, which is a mini-jump starter for your car, a portable USB charger, a three-mode flashlight, and a rechargeable battery all rolled into one. — Julie Sprankles

If my husband is home, he's wearing these slippers. He loves the soft fleecy lining and the rubber and rice husk sole. They're perfect for lounging inside or slipping on to take out the trash. Plus, these babies are built to last, so you won't have to buy a new pair every season. — Jamie Kenney

If your husband likes to listen to music while he's having a drink outside, sings at the top of his lungs while in the pool, or just appreciates blasting his Fantasy Football podcasts while he's in the shower, this speaker is for him. With up to 12 hours of playtime, this baby will last all day, and is also waterproof and extra durable for camping or hunting trips. It's also nice and small so he can throw it in a bag or even keep it in his car. — Samantha Darby, Senior Editor, Lifestyle & Entertainment

My husband has worked hard to master the art of making a perfect steak at home. A couple of his friends are deep into dry aging steaks too, and they recently told him about Wild Fork, which ships quality cuts of meat straight to your door. It sounds like a great way to try new cuts and meat straight from the farms. An annual membership is just $22.99, which gets you free next-day delivery on all orders. Pretty sure that, plus a couple nice steaks, would delight my guy. — Katie McPherson

My husband got super into working out and being active this year, which means he's also gotten really into recovery and taking care of his body after he's done the work each day. This fabric band is meant to give micro-vibrations and help restore sore muscles and jump-start your recovery with the light therapy. It's also nice because it can be used anywhere on the body to wrap around joints, lay over sore calves, or place on your shoulders. — Samantha Darby

For the discerning gentleman who started following the menswear guy on Twitter and is all of a sudden really interested in tailoring, I give you The Jacket Maker. Submit his measurements and choose a style for a custom fit leather jacket. He'll be the coolest dad in the parent pickup line. They also do custom denim jackets, windbreakers, jerseys, and so many leather goods, too. — Jamie Kenney

I've recently learned that despite my husband having several gaming consoles, it's the Playstation 5 that's really hitting the top of his wish list this year. Specifically, he wants it to play the new Spider-Man 2 game, and who can blame him? — Samantha Darby

If your guy loves golf but his bag has seen better days, this one from Fanatics has been a hit with my husband. I polled his dad and a friend, who golf with him most often, to help me find the best one to replace his bag from his high school days. The fact that it comes with his fave NFL team's branding certainly didn't hurt. — Katie McPherson

There’s nothing more depressing to me than the idea of a corporate office sans any personality. This digital frame feels like a great gift for my beloved to pop on his desk. I can send new photos straight to it throughout the year to make him smile every time a new pic of our kid pops up unexpectedly. — Katie McPherson

You know your husband would love this bad boy. He can be the People's Champ all night long with this Igloo cooler fanny pack in the shape of the World Heavyweight Champion belt. Not only is it ridiculous and fun, but it's also pretty efficient for not having to return to a cooler or drag one down the street to your neighbor's for game day or a Wrestlemania watch party. — Samantha Darby

If you’re married to a gamer, he may already have a Meta Quest headset and wants to upgrade — or if you have a tween or teen son like we do, your kid might monopolize the one you bought for the family. The Meta Quest 3S is a great solution because it comes at a lower price point than the Quest 3 and is ideal for dads who are more casual mixed-reality fans. My husband really likes the workouts, watching live courtside NBA games with Xtadium, and, of course, gaming (pretty sure he has vocal fry from doing his Batdad voice after playing Batman: Arkham Shadow). — Julie Sprankles

I have two pairs of Atoms and frankly, I have never loved a pair of shoes more. I’ve been dealing with joint and heel pain, but these shoes are so comfortable and genuinely help keep the ouchies at bay. They’re the only shoes I put on when my heels aren’t happy with me, and they carried me through days of trekking around Disney World without a single issue. Plus, they’re washable and go with everything. The unisex style means they’re great for the hubs too, and they come in so many cool colors. — Katie McPherson

My guy loves being outside, whether it's hunting or just going for a walk, and needed something a little less heavy for the mild Georgia winters. Carhartt is already a brand we know and trust, and this loose-fit heavyweight hoodie is perfect for when he needs a little extra layering, but doesn't want to feel overwhelmed. It's also great for the rain and even has a hidden security pocket inside the hand warmer. (Bonus points: the quarter-zip makes it feel less like a sloppy hoodie and I wouldn't even be mad if he wore this on date night.) The sizing is great too, with options from S to 4XL. — Samantha Darby

My husband and I have tried a lot of “healthy” candies and sweets. Let’s be real: most of them taste terrible. Harken Sweets is the outlier. These candy bars are good. At only 140 to 150 calories and made of 100% plant-based ingredients, Harken candy bars contain 0g of added sugar and as much fiber as five cups of kale. Stuff a couple bars in your partner’s stocking but don’t expect them to stick around the house for too long. They’re addictive. — Katie Garrity
