Because we’re nice like that!

Saxx Boxer Briefs

best gifts for men

Amazon Canada

There’s a pretty good chance that these are the best boxer briefs on the market, thanks in large part to their trademark “ballpark pouch” that prevents them from pinching and squashing his most sensitive bits. The waistband won’t dig in, and the legs are roomy enough to accommodate muscular thighs, too.

Get them from Amazon Canada for $46.95. Available in six colour sets, in sizes XS-XXL, and in a pack of three.

Globe Whiskey Decanter Set

Amazon Canada

If his bar cart is looking a little, shall we say, lacklustre lately, he’ll probably appreciate this stylish addition. The set comes with two matching glasses, a pair of chilling stones, and a pour funnel.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $81.99.

Jack Black Beard Grooming Kit

best gifts for men

Sephora Canada

If he has even one shred of facial hair, then this set is a must-have in his personal care arsenal. He’ll get a beard wash, a conditioner that can be used for shaving *or* as a treatment mask, and a beard oil that my partner has called (on multiple occasions) the best he’s ever tried. It doesn’t hurt that every product smells phenomenal — fresh and clean — so you’ll get treated to a sweet whiff when you lean in for a smooch.

Get it from Sephora Canada for $52.

Leather Valet Tray

best gifts for men

Amazon Canada

He probably has tons of odds and ends lying around his house, and now, each and every item will have a home. Thanks to the raised edges, things like headphones, jewellery, or other knickknacks won’t roll off (by the way, the corner buttons can be unsnapped for easy storage and transport).

Get it from Amazon Canada for $8.49+. Available in 22 colours and in two sizes.

Aerlang Percussion Massager

best gifts for men

Amazon Canada

He’s been working his buns off at the gym, so he deserves a massager that’ll make recovery a heckuva lot easier.

He’ll get 60 patches of each formula.

Get it from Sephora Canada for $115.

WillsCoo Cocktail Smoker Kit

He follows mixologists on Instagram and is always trying out new mixes, so getting him an at-home cocktail smoker is a total no-brainer.
