Men are sometimes deceptively difficult to shop for—perhaps the man in question has no discernible style of which to speak, his wishlist includes gadgets only Kylie Jenner could afford to buy for him or you’re having a difficult time resisting the urge to gift him socks because for crying out loud, he doesn’t own a single matching pair. Whatever the scenario, we can help; here, our 2016 gift curation for all of the men in you life (socks not included, though you can find some cute ones for yourself here).
Great Gifts For All Your Guys
ARCADY Leather Bomber Jacket
Here's hoping whoever you end up buying this lamb leather, cashmere-lined jacket for is around your size, as this is most certainly one piece we want to borrow from the boys.

Bespoke Post Refresh Dopp Kit
Few things in life feel better to world-weary travelers than a dopp kit freshly stocked with all the most luxurious products. This one comes with everything from handmade soap to detox multivitamins, and is perfect for the man who spends more time in the air than he does on land.
Bespoke Post Refresh Dopp Kit, $55
Buck Mason Raglan Sweatshirt
If the guy for whom you're shopping could use a little wardrobe update but isn't exactly a fashion guy, anything from Buck Mason is likely to be a safe bet. We love this Raglan Sweater as an easy gift for our significant others, mostly because we plan on "getting cold" in their company often this winter.
Buck Mason Raglan Sweater, $78
Dollar Shave Club Subscription
If you can believe it, Dollar Shave Club sold for $1 billion earlier this year. Why? Because most men need to shave, love convenience and hate shopping, so the company's monthly razor subscription box is sheer (if simple) genius. You can send someone three-months worth for $45 or a year's worth for $100.
Dollar Shave Club Subscription, $45-$100
Everlane The Dipped Weekender
Let's be honest—this is the perfect gift for the man who embarrasses you when you travel, mostly because he carries his belongings in a ratty old backpack leftover from his heyday as a college frat boy. Luckily, this bag is timeless, so he can hold onto it for another twenty years without causing shame to you and yours.
Everlane The Dipped Weekender, $115
Jason Markk for J. Crew Sneaker-Cleaning Kit

Miansai Swiss Stainless-Steel Watch, $495
AETHER Crosby Jacket
The Crosby jacket is perfect for cold-climate-dwelling men, or for those who travel frequently to destinations known for chilly temps. It features a 100% wool outer exterior, a removable liner and is both water and wind resistant.

Three Jerks The Original Filet Mignon Beef Jerky
So you don't cook and/or can't afford to buy your man a steak... no biggie, as we think this filet mignon jerky would be cute gifted alongside a bottle of (cheap) red wine. You can also gift him a monthly subscription, which we think might end up being the most appreciated $7.64 a month you've ever spent.
Three Jerks The Original Filet Mignon Beef Jerky, $8.00
