Across a handful of different categories, including tech, fitness, home, style etc., we’re here with a curated list of certified smash-hit gifts that will impress even the most particular dude in your life
Nebula NEBULA by Anker Mars II Pro 500 ANSI Lumen Portable Projector
The biggest thing standing between him and that tricked-out home theater is a quality projector. This sci-fi looking model is up for the job, with a bright picture, powerful sound, and easy device pairing. We think the 1080P resolution works great for most audiences, but if he’s a true film snob you might want to spring for the 4K version instead.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
Whether he wants to launch a YouTube channel or just better document your travels, the Osmo Pocket 3 is the ultimate easy-to-use creator camera. It’s got a built-in gimbal for smoothly cinematic camera movements and can easily flip between a vertical and horizontal orientation when he wants the full panoramic effect.
Eight Sleep Pod 4
For fussy sleepers, this temperature-regulating “pod” cover might just save your marriage. It slips over your mattress, giving each person the ability to cool or warm either side of the bed to the perfect Goldilocks temp, plus tracks your sleep metrics (so you’ll know exactly how many hours you’re getting in the REM cycle).
Pioneer DJ Rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller
For your hubby who’s added a new entry to his resume—DJ—do the right thing and make sure he’s got the right equipment to chop and screw like a professional. There are a ton of options and specs to consider, but we’ve saved you the Reddit deep dive and furnished this rec for you that’s a very solid beginner controller at a reasonable price.
Therabody Theragun Sense
If he has a body in 2024, 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.
Fender Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster HSS Pack
It’s never too late to make those garage band dreams a reality.
Meta Quest 3 Breakthrough Mixed Reality
The new Meta Quest 3 is the ultimate trump card gift for any gamer on your list: the VR will be transportative in even the most familiar spaces, and its advanced comfort and passthrough features mean you can easily grab a quick bite without taking your headset.
Nintendo Switch OLED Model White
The beloved Nintendo Switch now comes with a vivid 7″ OLED screen and enhanced audio for leveling up their next Mario Kart sesh.
REGA Rega Planar 1 Turntable
This turntable earned a spot in our rankings of the best record players for its unbeatable ability to “play a record faithfully and with the most accurate sound,” all at a sub-$1,000 price point. Plus, it looks like a sleek, minimal art piece when it’s not spinning one of his favorite vinyls.
Brick The Brick
Is he always complaining about how much time he’s wasting doomscrolling on his phone? The Brick is a stupidly-brilliant solution. Decide which apps are tools and which are distracations, then put them on lock. The key here is that the Brick is a physical object, so he can leave it across the room or even at home while on vacation so he’s not just tempted to bipass that screentime notification for the 16th time.
1Mii ML300 2-in-1 Bluetooth 5.2 Transmitter Receiver
You know that feeling of trying to watch an airplane movie through the garbagio free airplane headphones? Yeah, we’re not doing that anymore. Snag this smart stocking stuffer that he can plug into the headphone jack and connect to his favorite Bluetooth headphones. Plus, you can link a second pair of headphones if you decide you want to cuddle up across the armrest and watch the same flick.
