But it also sells out, so may we recommend a newer Timex gem: the Marlin Jet Titanium Automatic GMT. It’s got the same retro appeal, but with an ultra-durable titanium case and modern guts that track two time zones.Drake's7cm Striped Silk-Cotton Blend TieDrake’s ties are an institution, and their often archive-inspired designs feel hand-plucked from an era when ties weren’t an afterthought, but part of thee thought. If he's dipping a toe into suiting—or just looking to dress things up a bit—why not support the style serve with one of the coolest, best ties money can buy?Red WingNorway Moc BootRed Wing's Iron Rangers are my go-to boots, but the heritage brand's new Norway Moc makes a strong case for switching things up when the temp drops. Inspired by boots built for actual Norwegian winters, they pair handsome Scotch-grain leather with a classic moc toe and a grippy, durable lug sole.New BalanceNew Balance 991v2Right now, he probably owns a pair of New Balances. Maybe several. But does he have a suede-and-mesh 991v2 that would look oh-so-good with just about anything? This iconic sneaker has that perfect mix of retro-runner chunk and polish.WytheWashed Flannel Pearlsnap ShirtVery few garments are as soft yet durable as a washed flannel shirt, and even fewer have the authentic appeal of this Wythe gem. Inspired by the hardy flannels of the American West from the 1920s through the ’60s, this midweight workshirt is brushed on both sides for a lived-in comfort and ruggedness that’s tough to beat.AkilaLogosHe already has a pair of Wayfarers, as he (and we all) should. But these here are some “Oh, what are those?” shades. With chunky black frames, cool sky-blue lenses, and a rounded-meets-angular shape, Akila’s Logos have just enough quirkiness to stand out while still being very wearable.GapRecycled Heavyweight Puffer JacketWhen temps drop to freezing, the first thing your giftee is going to reach for is this heavyweight puffer—and immediately think of you.Ampal CreativeLittle Bastard HatJames Dean affectionally called his Porsche “Little Bastard.” And maybe you affectionally call your husband… You get it.HestraJohn GlovesHestra makes arguably my favorite winter gloves, hands down (har har). The John nails that elusive middle ground: supple hairsheep leather and PrimaLoft Gold insulation. They’re touchscreen-compatible, too.UGGTasman IIUGGs for the sidewalk? Not my personal cup of tea, but maybe yours. UGGs for lounging at home? Unrivaled. I own a pair of these—the plush lining keeps your feet warm, while the slip-on style is perfect for shuffling around as you brew your morning coffee or winding down in the evening.PatagoniaRetro Pile Fleece JacketThere is perhaps no more foolproof gift for a husband than a fleece jacket. We take that back: No gift is more foolproof than a Patagonia fleece jacket. Brand cred aside, this is the stuff fleece dreams are made of: plush, double-sided Polartec shearling fleece made from 100% recycled polyester with craftsmanship to boot.J.CrewGiant-fit ChinoThere’s oversized, and then there’s roomy done right. Think of classic military chinos from the ’40s and ’50s: cut for utility and ease, with plenty of room through the leg. That’s the idea here—no aggressive taper, a wider leg opening, and a timeless silhouette that looks just as good today.Howlin'College Fun ScarfA scarf is a scarf until it’s made from wonderfully fuzzy, tactile wool in the slightly bonkers color combinations Howlin’ does so well. It’s warm as heck, too, but the real gift is giving him the confidence to wear more color.L.L.BeanBean Boots, 8"Bean Boots have barely changed in more than a century. Still made in Maine, they’re weatherproof, incredibly durable, stylish, and grippy enough for everything from shoveling out the car to schlepping around on a rainy Saturday. Every handy husband should own a pair at some point.BrooklinenSuper Plush RobeThere are, oddly enough, a lot of stellar bath robes out there right now, but Brooklinen’s remains one of the comfy best. Made from fluffy, plush Turkish cotton, it’s thick, absorbent, and ridiculously soft.BombasVintage Stripes Half Calf Sock (4-Pack)Contrary to popular belief, it’s never a bad idea to gift a few pairs of socks. Especially when they’re from Bombas, with a cool retro stripe that makes them feel a little nicer than his other pairs.Buck MasonSeafarer Cotton Rib CrewIt’s pretty much impossible to go wrong with this one. Buck Mason’s chunky, richly textured cotton crew takes its cues from the rugged knits sailors have relied on since the late 1800s, but is cut to suit his modern wardrobe.EasymocTrooper MocThese mocs have all the details we crave: handcrafted in Maine from legendary Horween Chromexcel leather that only looks better with every well-earned crease, plus a padded footbed for comfort.FilsonTin Cloth Compact BriefacaseFilson makes some of our favorite briefcases, and for good reason: they’re rugged, timeless, and look great. He can carry this one by the leather handles or sling it messenger-style.Alex MillGarment-Dyed Corduroy Work JacketEvery guy should own a chore jacket. And unless you’re going full-on authentic with a French workwear icon, Alex Mill is the next best choice. Why? Amazing colorways, a fantastic fit, and seasonal fabrics like this richly textured corduroy.QuinceMongolian Cashmere Shawl Collar CardiganQuince are the kings of accessible cashmere, and this warm, fuzzy shawl-collar cardigan is supremely lounge (or couch) ready.Fitness & Outdoor GiftsAsicsNovablast 6For the husband who considers five miles before breakfast a perfectly reasonable way to start the day, the new ASICS Novablast 6 Lite-Show will makes all those yards feel a little easier with a plush, bouncy ride that still feels planted when the pavement gets slick.AerGym Tote 2Whether he's attacking the iron on a regular basis or training to confidently move to the front row of his weekly yoga class, this gym tote from Aer will let him bring all of his gear to wherever he's working out with ease.PatagoniaBase Camp Duffel BagOn the larger scale, this high-performance duffle bag is made from nearly entirely recycled materials, can be handheld or go backpack mode, and packs down into a tiny storage bag when not in use, making it versatile enough for whatever adventure (camping trip or epic sales conference) he has coming up next.Big Rock Candy MountaineeringAlpine JacketThis indie outfitter based its signature puffer on the eternally swaggy style of '70s mountain climbers, while updating it for the more modern trek from rental car to Airbnb.OnCloudmonster 3Bouncy responsiveness is On’s game, and the new Cloudmonster 3 is built for piling on the miles, with plenty of impact-absorbing cushioning and a forward-rolling design that keeps things moving comfortably.LululemonDaily Dispatch BackpackTypically, there are backpacks for work, the gym, and travel. Lululemon’s new Daily Dispatch pulls triple duty. The roomy-but-not-bulky 28-liter design fits up to a 16-inch laptop, shrugs off rain, and has separate storage for his shoes and sweaty gym gear. Sleek, stylish, and storage-friendly, it’s basically the Swiss Army knife of gym-to-commuter backpacks.Grooming GiftsDiorEau SauvageDior has so many olfactory bangers, but let’s not forget one of its stone-cold classics: Eau Sauvage (and yes, it’s different from Sauvage). A fougère—that’s fragrance-speak for a traditionally aromatic, herbaceous style of cologne—it combines bright Calabrian bergamot, lavender, oakmoss, and patchouli for a crisp, green, citrusy aroma.CreedGreen Irish TweedIf he’s a scentsman, he probably already has a Creed in rotation (Aventus, anyone?). But allow us to gently remind you of the equally classic, if sometimes overshadowed, Green Irish Tweed. Fresh citrus and peppermint give way to lavender, violet, oakmoss, and woods for something impossibly clean, green, and regal—a scent he’ll reach for on every special occasion. And that all-black bottle? So chic.Philips SonicareNext-Gen DiamondClean 9900 Prestige Electric ToothbrushMy trusty Sonicare has helped keep me cavity-free (knock on wood) since my dentist recommended one ages ago. Hot off the press is the DiamondClean 9900 Prestige, Sonicare’s smartest yet, with on-device AI, eight brushing modes, and even a mouth map showing where you’ve brushed—and where you haven’t.Caldera LabThe Base LayerEvery man should own a proper face moisturizer to keep his skin in good shape, and Caldera + Lab makes one of the most effective options, period. Jam-packed with skin-nourishing botanicals and antioxidants, The Base Layer is rich but won't leave his face shiny.NecessaireThe Body WashThis incredible-smelling body wash is really a gift for you, since you can enjoy notes of cyprès, citronné, bergamot, and cedar atlas every time you give him a hug.Ursa MajorFantastic Face WashOtherwise, this gentle, nourishing face wash from GQ-editor-beloved skin care brand Ursa Major is the perfect gift for both grooming obsessives and self-care novices.Harry'sPlus Shaving KitFor the manually inclined among us, Harry’s spent a whole lot of time getting last year’s Plus just right, and it shows in the shave. A major step up from the brand’s older models without the premium price tag, it delivers a remarkably close cut with minimal passes, as I can happily attest.HighlandThe Shower RitualAn upgrade to his shampoo and conditioner might not sound like the sexiest gift, but Highland makes a convincing case otherwise. Quietly one of the coolest men’s grooming brands going, it turns the everyday shower staples (body and hair wash, and conditioner) into something special.DermaflashDermapore+ Pore Extractor and Serum InfuserYou could drag him to a facial, or help him declog those pores at home. This powerful new device uses ultrasonic waves and ionic technology (futuristic!) to extract dirt and oil, then switches to "infuse" mode to start working a serum into those fine lines.BraunSeries 9 PRO+ Electric ShaverNo brand does foil shavers quite like Braun, and while the brand-new Nevo is certainly noteworthy, you still can’t go wrong with the Series 9 Pro+. It delivers an incredibly smooth, close, satisfying shave, packs in all the tech you need (and probably some you don’t), and comes with the premium extras you’d expect from a razor of this caliber.Home & Kitchen GiftsVictorinoxSwissChamp Swiss Army KnifeThe Swiss Army Knife of Swiss Army Knives—and the most compelling reason yet for him to ditch the doohickeys weighing down his carabiner.YetiCamp ChairYou can't beat a solid Adirondack chair—but this YETI Camp Chair comes pretty darn close. With a built-in cupholder, carrying bag, and reinforced frame, he'll love setting this up around the fire, on the porch, at the little league game, or pretty much anywhere else.CraighillMatch StrikerWhether he's burning one down at the end of a long day (it's mostly CBD, he swears) or sparking up a pumpkin spice candle for a cozy movie night, this match striker from Craighill really, ahem, classes up the joint.LegoLand Rover Classic Defender 90 SetA real Defender demands premium gas and a garage; this one calls for a little patience and an open spot on a bookshelf.TumiExpandable Carry OnTell him you want to go on vacation without actually telling him. Tumi’s Expandable Carry-On makes a hell of a hint, with extra packing room, smart interior organization, smooth-rolling wheels, and durable construction that can handle years of overhead-bin abuse.James BrandThe KentA gentleman needs a good pen, and this one from James Brand is as cool as it gets. (The bolt action will become his new fidget spinner, no doubt.)DiptyqueFeu de Bois CandleObviously, this isn’t just any ol’ candle, but one of the greats—a stone-cold classic that needs no introduction, though I’ll give it one anyway. Fall is upon us, and Diptyque’s Feu de Bois smells so, so darn good: like the most luxurious fireplace crackling away while leaves swirl outside and, eventually, the snow starts falling. Better still, it’s a gift you can both enjoy, which is really just smart husband gifting.AesopKagerou IncenseThe botanically cool grooming stalwart also makes incense, and it’s every bit as fantastic as its fragrances. These slightly squared-off sticks have become part of my morning ritual, burning cleanly and releasing a subtle but wonderfully present scent. (They even come with a little holder.) My favorite is Kagerou, a blend of vetiver and sandalwood that'll help set a centered tone for the day while his morning coffee brews.JW AndersonPostcard Tea: Dawn Till DuskIf your man is a tea fanatic, this JW Anderson blend is the move. It's dark roasted tea that belnds tippy Assam tea with Japanese black soya beans, which makes for an almost coffee-like experience.Sonic EditionsNoel and Liam at the Columbia HotelFeeling supersonic? We are. As a lifelong Oasis fan, I’m not mad that the whole world has gone mad for the Gallagher brothers again. And with this print, we can all proudly put our fandom on display, regardless of whether your hubby caught (or will hopefully catch) the reunion tour.Atlas Coffee ClubAnnual SubscriptionThis bean of the month club will be a guaranteed hit. Each time, he'll get to try a bag of single origin coffee beans from somewhere new around the world, giving him the chance to travel with his tastebuds—no passport necessary.ByredoVetyver HandwashAn elevated hand wash is one of those little home luxuries that we grooming- and scent-savvy dudes can really appreciate. And when it comes from the scent gods at Byredo, even better.Tech GiftsU Turn AudioOrbit Plus TurntableA quality turntable (that doesn’t come in a suitcase) is a must-have for anyone who takes their vinyl collection seriously. U-Turn’s Orbit Plus is a worthy upgrade, with thoughtfully chosen components that bring out the warmth, detail, and depth in his favorite records. In other words, it plays them how they are meant to sound.SonosBeam UltraIt’s a pretty penny, sure, but Sonos’s brand-new Beam Ultra delivers some of the richest, most cinematic audio you’ll find in a soundbar this compact. Dolby Atmos makes movie night more immersive, while clearer dialogue means he won’t be constantly reaching for the remote.BelkinQi2.2 2 in 1 Foldable Fast Charging StationThere’s no reason his nightstand needs to be a tangle of charging cables. Belkin’s sleek little station charges his phone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at once, with speedy 25W wireless charging for his phone and built-in cooling tech to keep temperatures down. One dock, three devices, considerably less clutter.Nomad GoodsTracking CardThanks to Nomad’s sleek, seamless tracking card, he'll never stress a misplaced wallet again.TherabodyTheragun SenseIf he has a body in 2026, he probably could benefit from this massage gun which can be used on post-workout sore muscles or aches and pains from his desk job.BoseQuietComfort Bluetooth HeadphonesBose’s QuietComfort headphones are practically a noise-canceling institution at this point, and still among the best in the business. The latest deliver stellar, rich sound and can drown out everything from open-office chatter to someone coughing three rows behind him on a flight.EarPeaceNoise-Reducing EarplugsWe know they’re not technically a tech gift, but chances are, if he’s into tech, he digs music, and if he digs music, he probably loves a live show—and, well, then he needs a solid pair of earplugs. These are designed to turn down the volume without muffling the music.JBLAuthentics 300 Portable SpeakerThe JBL Authentics is a Bluetooth speaker he’ll definitely want to display. Its retro-cool design riffs on JBL’s classic ’70s speakers, right down to that distinctive foam grille, while built-in Wi-Fi streaming keeps it firmly in the present.LeicaD-Lux 7 CameraSure, his phone takes perfectly good pictures, but where’s the fun in that? Leica’s D-Lux 7 is a camera that'll make him actually want to take photos again, pairing that unmistakably handsome, old-school Leica design with a compact build.TechnicsWireless EarbudsSo compact, so sleek, so good sounding. We all know Technics makes legendary turntables, but its wireless earbuds deserve just as much cred. These in-ears use magnetic-fluid drivers to deliver detailed, beautifully balanced sound you’d expect from a brand with this hi-fi pedigree, plus noise cancellation and a comfortable fit.
