The best travel wallet you can buyBellroy Leather Travel Wallet, $129
Bellroy is one of our favorite brands for men's wallets and they make the best men's travel wallet you can buy. It's designed around the size of a passport, and it holds everything in designated sections: travel documents, money, cards, passport, and a pen just in case. An RFID blocking material protects cards and passports from being skimmed.
Really nice new sheets from a popular online startupBrooklinen Luxe 7-Piece Sheet Set, Queen, $256.5
We recommend Brooklinen often, and for good reason. We think they make the best high-end sheets at the best price, and most of the Insider Reviews team sleeps with Brooklinen on their own beds. Pick up the Luxe Sateen Set in a classic color and prepare for tougher mornings getting out of bed.
A leather dopp kit that will age gracefullyLeatherology Multi Pocket Toiletry Bag, $155
Leatherology is a startup we recommend for its affordable high-end leather goods, and you can shop it directly from Amazon now. This particular leather toiletry bag comes in a handful of classic colors and has compartments for pretty much everything. It's the sort of gift that they'll wind up using often, and that'll age well with them.
Smart outlets that let him control devices from the couch or his phoneAmazon's Smart Plug lets you control devices and appliances remotely or with your voice. He'll be able to schedule lights and appliances to turn off or on through an app or tell his Alexa-enabled speaker to do it for him, so there's no need to get up off the couch before movie night begins.
Truly wireless and waterproof sport earbudsJaybird Vista True Wireless Bluetooth Sport Earbuds, $129.99
Jaybird makes some of the most trusted wireless headphones, and we think its Vista earbuds are the best version yet. They're sweatproof and waterproof, and a quick charge of five minutes translates to an hour of play time. Fully charged, he'll have six hours of audio play and, with the case, an additional 10 hours.
The best pressure cooker you can buyThe Instant Pot is another cult-favorite product that's worth its hype. It combines seven kitchen appliances into one, from a rice cooker to a steamer. It makes weekday meals easier and helps maximize space. We've also ranked it the best pressure cooker you can buy.
50 years of iconic photos and articles from "Rolling Stone"50 Years of Rolling Stone: The Music, Politics and People that Changed Our Culture, $33.99
If he's into music, this coffee table book from "Rolling Stone" is a good candidate for something he'll love to own but would probably never buy for himself. It distills the last 50 years of music journalism and cultural criticism into one volume with plenty of pictures from the 1960s to now.
The best travel pillow he can getWhether he's constantly traveling or just values good sleep above all else, Trtl is the way to go if you're looking for the best travel pillow. A soft, lightweight fleece is wrapped around a plastic neck support on one side, so you can rest it on either shoulder or your chest to keep your head in a comfortable position. We also highly recommend the upgraded version, Trtl Pillow Plus ($59.99).
A weighted blanket for better sleepYnM's weighted blanket is an affordable loophole in a relatively pricey category, and it's one of the more breathable versions out there. The idea is that weighted blankets create more restful sleep and can help decrease anxiety by creating the sort of comforting pressure used when swaddling babies or in thunder jackets for dogs. Pick up one that's about 10% of his body weight. You can find a full review here.
Bose's cult-favorite noise-canceling headphones with great soundBose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, $299
If you're looking for one of the most useful high-end gifts you can give, this is a good place to start. Bose QuietComfort headphones have earned their reputation among audiophiles for their noise-cancellation and balanced audio performance. They're also Alexa-enabled for voice access to music and information.
An Echo Dot smart speakerThe Echo Dot is Amazon's most popular smart speaker precisely because of its small size and thousands of Alexa skills. He can hook up other smart devices to it, play music, ask it for information like the weather or news, and set alarms.
A streaming media playerRoku Premiere Streaming Media Player, $34.99
Turn a dumb TV into a smart one with a streaming stick that provides access to services like Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Now, Showtime, Sling TV, and more.
LEGO's NASA Model RocketLEGO NASA Apollo Saturn Outer Space Model Rocket for Kids and Adults, $119.99

Lavish shaving creamThe Art of Shaving Shaving Cream Sandalwood, $19.60
Sometimes personal upkeep is the only ritual we have that's just about us, and a little upgrade to daily grooming can make an outsized impact. The Art of Shaving makes a luxurious cream that softens the beard for a close, comfortable shave that protects the skin from razor burn. Even if he wouldn't buy it for himself, he'll probably like using this.
Great soaps that support active-duty military members and veteransDuke Cannon "Great American Frontier" Men's Big Brick of Soap Set, $27
Duke Cannon makes military-inspired grooming products that go beyond gimmicky. We actually really like using them, and the company supports active-duty military members and veterans by donating 5% of its net profits to causes that benefit them. In the past, that's included K9s for Warriors and Fisher House. While we stand by the products and the mission, the branding can be pretty heavily macho and a little off-putting for some. If that's not on-brand for your boyfriend, skip it.
Leather touchscreen glovesHarrms Leather Touchscreen Gloves, from $19.99
Sleek and functional leather touchscreen gloves will let him use devices in the bitter cold. Plus, this pair has touchscreen tech in all ten fingers and palm rather than a couple of fingers on each hand.
A beer-brewing kit he can use to make his own beerCraft A Brew Home Brewing Kit for Beer, $43.95
This is one of the highest-rated home brewing kits under $50 on Amazon, and it comes with all the essentials. The equipment is also reusable, so if he enjoys using it, he can brew another batch later on.
Bluetooth Tiles that help him locate missing itemsIf he's been known to lose his keys, wallet, or other important belongings, Tile may be his favorite gift of the year. He can use a smartphone to ring his wallet or keys if they're within 400 feet.
