For your sake, I'll skip the quippy little bit where I talk about how men are so hard to shop for and say things like "what do you even buy for your 60-year old dad with no perceivable personal interests or hobbies?!" and cut to the chase. Lots of people are going to tell you to buy said man in your life something to the tune of a golf ball, a bottle of whiskey, and some sort of small wooden or leather good. But if you're looking for a thoughtful, sentimental, unique birthday gift for him that doesn't feel like you just asked ChatGPT what men like, you're in the right place.
Hi, remember us, your friendly neighborhood Cosmo shopping experts? Whether you’ve been together for five years and already used up all your good gift ideas on previous anniversaries or are only two weeks into a new relationship and don't know his favorite color yet, you’ll find something that makes you go, “Wait, this is genius” in our list of 70 unique birthday gifts for him.
Real quick, what's the shipping deadline for Christmas?
What a pro question! Anything sent via USPS (whether it's Ground, First Class, or Priority Mail) needs to be sent by December 17-18, while the UPS 2nd Air and FedEx 2-Day shipping deadline is December 22. And for the truly last-minute purchases, Amazon has your back with Two-Day Shipping until December 22 or One-Day Shipping until December 23!

Below, you'll find presents that fit a wide variety of budgets, whether you’re trying to go all-out with a luxury gift or trying to find a gift idea under $30 this year (without him noticing lol).
