It’s no surprise that gift shopping for men can be super stressful. And don’t get me started if he's the type to "not want anything in particular". Yawn! Help us out here! Because the last thing we want to do is resort to the boring ol' tie-and-socks gift combo. If this sounds like your inner monologue every time you've been on the hunt for a sweet birthday present, anniversary gift, or what-have-you (maybe you’re doing some early holiday shopping! Kudos to you!), then take this piece of advice: Consider something techy! Now I’m not saying you need to get him a top-of-the-line gaming PC (although I know he wouldn’t mind…). Some of the best tech gifts for men can be as simple and affordable as a rechargeable protein drink shaker or a personalized leather AirPods case.
Whether he's into cooking or golf or just gets a kick out of a shiny new high-tech gadget, there's 100 percent some sort of gift for him here. Think: practical gadgets that'll make his daily routine easier (like a smart meat thermometer that'll ensure he makes the perfect steak every time) and fancy devices that'll make his fave hobbies even more fun (such as an at-home golf simulator). Keep on scrolling to find that man the perfect prezzie.
He's definitely had his eye on these best-selling Apple over-the-ear headphones. They're lightweight and have top-notch noise cancellation and personalized spatial audio to give the wearer the feeling of listening to a live performance. As someone who owns these, I can vouch that they'll never wanna take them off!
Getting up in the morning can be a biiiiig struggle. With this top-rated alarm clock, he won't have to deal with a noisy alarm that blasts him awake (instant vibe killer, am I right?).. Instead, it’ll wake him up gently thanks to its sunrise feature that mimics a natural, gradual sunrise paired with nature-inspired sounds. It's dimmable so that he can make his room totally dark, and it can even play white noise to help soothe him to sleep.
Ya know those times when they're leaving the house and can't seem to locate their wallet? (Relatable.) An option like this—with a built-in slot for an AirTag—means they won't have to worry about the whereabouts of their wallet.
It's like a tablet or a computer but in notebook form! It mimics a real notebook and has seven different layouts (lined, dot-grid, and more) so they can have their schedule, notes, lists, and more all in one place.

The way they won't be able to travel abroad without this lil thing... It's a tiny (but mighty!) gadget that'll let them connect their Bluetooth headphones/earbuds to those outdated airplane TVs.
If you wanna win the coffee lover in your life over, a fancy coffee machine is the way to go. I recommend this model with a built-in grinder, hot/cold foam technology, cold brew technology (it can make cold brew in under three minutes!), and an easy-to-use touch-screen display.
Treat him to this fitness tracker that's also a super stylish ring. As long as he's wearing it, it'll be able to track his workouts, sleep patterns, heart rate, stress levels, and other cool health data insight. And the fact that it'll pair perfectly with any outfit, even dressed up ones? Parfait! And ahem, if you want to know all the reasons why it’s so good we have an Oura Ring review you’ll def wanna read.
This cocktail machine is legit like having a live-in bartender. It'll make most cocktails just by the press of a button. All he has to do is insert his capsule of choice (it's a premixed drink that has the alcohol in it already), choose the strength of the drink, and it'll have his drink ready for him in seconds. He's about to become the host of the group real quick once he has this bad boy!
Whenever he's in need of a good leg massage after a gym sesh, post-vacation, or a hard day of work, he can slide his legs into this massager and he'll be feeling good. He can choose between three different compression modes that relieve any pain or soreness.

In my household, I call this the "computer toaster" because it can do it all. It's a touchscreen toaster that can toast bread, bagels, english muffins, frozen waffles, toaster pastries, paninis, and more. It'll ask you whether or not your food is fresh, frozen, or a reheat, and you can choose from seven different toasting modes. This will be an absolute game-changer for them when it comes to cooking!
Because of its versatility and endless technological capabilities, an iPad will bring a guaranteed smile to your guy. He can use it to play games, read books, take notes, call/text/video chat with people, and much more.

It comes with 15 interchangeable massage heads and it has 10 adjustable speeds—plus a straightforward LED screen. Its portability will allow him to take it anywhere around the house, to work, or on vacation.
A smart mug will never have him worrying about his hot drink getting cold fast ever again! With this one from Ember, they can control and customize the temperature from ~an app~. But they can also keep it at the wanted temperature without the app as long as they set it as so before they pour in their bev of choice.
All I'm saying is if he's a big outdoors or camp guy, night vision goggles will make being outside even more fun!
The golfer in your life is going to lose his mind (in the best way possible) once he sees that you got him this.
