The 50 best husband gifts of 2023

The 50 Best Gifts for Husbands — The Art of Shaving / Wood Underwear / Amazon

No matter whether you’ve been married for two months, two years, or twenty years, it’s always nice to get your husband a little extra something special come holiday time. And while they may say that men are hard to shop for, we beg to differ. No matter what your husband is into—food, tech, grooming, all of the above—there are tons of great gifts available, at a variety of different price points. A few top shopping tips: Upgrading basic, everyday essentials is always a good move, think a new and improved take on underwear or socks, or even something like an electric toothbrush. Items that can be used more than one way are also the move, like a bag that can double as a work tote or overnighter, or a shirt that can be worn as a base layer or on its own. And hey, there’s no shame in opting for a self-serving gift, something you’ll both appreciate—a new TV or luxe comforter, perhaps?

The Byrdie team has been hard at work finding the best Christmas gifts for everyone on your list, so find the best gifts for husbands below.

The scent is luxe, too, and a subtle reminder of the formula's botanical actives”—Hannah Kerns, Product Tester

I Tried Somnox’s $600 Sleep Robot to Help Me Get 8 Hours of Rest

Yes, this is pricey, and yes, the concept of a sleep robot may sound a little strange, but if your hubby has trouble sleeping this is a worthwhile pick.

What Our Testers Say

“Having a bot that moves with you as you breathe is an incredibly soothing and efficient way to enhance your breathing. So if you've got the cash, are into tech gadgets, and are willing to use it consistently, I'd certainly say the Somnox 2 is worth a try.”—Taylor Jean Stephan, Product Tester
