46 unique gift ideas for men

The Turtlebox Original Gen 3 speaker is the bombproof party in a box your favorite guy needs with its legit audio specs to spare (true wireless stereo sound, a 6 by 9 inch woofer, and a party mode that lets you pair unlimited speakers to create the surround sound of his dreams). It is dust-proof, crushproof, and waterproof in both fresh and salt water. (It’s even buoyant.) No matter where he takes this speaker, the party will follow.

For the guy who deserves to kick back in style, the Member’s Mark 5-position lay-flat beach chair is the way. With a lightweight frame and built-in backpack straps, it’s easy to carry. He can recline in five different positions (yes, fully flat is an option), stash cold drinks in the back cooler bag, and keep his essentials organized in multiple storage pockets. This next-level lounger is only available at Sam’s Club, so you'll need a membership—but lucky you, memberships are currently on sale—just $25 for a Club membership or $70 for a Plus membership.

It’s no secret that dads love food, but between work, workouts, and just having a life, cooking a healthy, balanced meal probably isn’t at the top of his priority list.

Use our link to get up to $130 off and free shipping on his first box.

If your favorite guy loves history, hikes, and the hunt for new experiences, there’s no better gift than the America the Beautiful pass. Issued by the National Park Service, the pass gives the bearer free admission for a full year to every National Park, National Monument, and more than 2,000 sites managed by federal agencies, including the National Forest Service and Fish and Wildlife Service (remember those Tinder pics?). Even better—it gives free admission to the bearer as well as three additional adults ages 16 and up (kids under 16 are free already). From Acadia to Zion, he’ll love exploring them all.

Great sunglasses don’t have to be expensive. We love Goodr sunglasses for their lightweight, sweatproof, and slip-proof fit, not to mention great prices and outstanding UV protection.

Fishermen know: It’s all too easy for an errant fish hook to completely ruin a fishing trip (and, uh, your day). When he inevitably gets one stuck where it shouldn’t be, the Dhukr will get it out.

And there’s no better gift than that.
