Some guys can be impossible to shop for. We all know the type of guy that replies, “I already have everything I need,” when you ask what to get him for his birthday or Christmas. (It’s like, we don’t care, dude, that’s not the point!) That’s why picking out the best Christmas gifts for him can feel like an impossible task. But your impossible-to-shop-for guy still deserves one of the best Christmas gifts!
So what do you do when trying to pick out the perfect gift for your hard-to-shop-for dad, boyfriend or husband? We’re here to tell you that shopping for gifts for the impossible man is, actually, possible. You’ve just got to get creative.
The impossible to shop for man generally falls into two categories — there’s the easygoing guy who doesn’t need much to be happy. Then there’s the guy who takes meticulous care of himself and loves the finer things in life. Fortunately, we know plenty of both, which is why we put together this unique holiday gift guide. There are manly tools, fancy soaps and fun novelty gifts galore, so you can find the right thing for the man in your life, whether it’s the best gift for dad, your husband or even your boss.
Lucky for you, we’ve gathered together the best gifts for the impossible man that he will actually appreciate. Whether you’re hunting for the comfiest new pants of the year or the wildest looking gadget you’ve ever seen, we’ve got plenty of unique options for you. From Mancrates to Masterclasses, from hatchets to survival hacks, these are some pretty unusual picks. Hey, at least they aren’t something he’s already got, which is a plus.
Read on and discover the best gifts for the impossible man in your life
1. Judy Mover Max
BEST OVERALL
We hope he’ll never have to use it, but on the off-chance he does, the Judy Mover Max emergency kit will come in handy when he least expects it. The Judy is an emergency bag filled with everything one could possibly need in an, “Oh, crap!” kind of situation. It’s equipped with over 50 life-saving survival essentials that can be used for a family of four for up to 72 hours total. Have him keep it in the back of his closet for life’s “just in case” moments.
Think of it this way, if your impossible man never uses this gift, that’s actually a good thing!

It hits a lot like a nice whiskey and mixes deliciously into a margarita.” With that said, this isn’t your “let’s do shots” kind of tequila, rather a late-night sipper your giftee will choose when they’re getting a little bored of the bourbon on their bar cart.

BEST CANDLE
There’s always a sort of stigma over whether or not women should gift men candles. But, like, it’s a candle. It shouldn’t be deemed a feminine or masculine gift to give or receive. Therefore, gift him a candle this year, because you know he loves them. Homesick candles are perfect for gifting because they’re super specific — gift him the scent of his home state or a memorable trip you took together.

53. Pistachio Pedestal
BEST FOR NUT LOVERS
Let’s get nutty. Well, tree nutty. For any and all pistachio-loving dudes out there, gift this pedestal bowl so he can get cracking. Simply place a slew of pistachios in the upper bowl and leave the shells at the bottom trough. It’s a totally unique gift that will need a bit of explaining upon opening.

54. WWF Adopt a Great White Shark
BEST FOR THE DO-GOODER
It can be hard to get the do-gooder in your life anything, especially if they’re not as interested in material goods. WWF’s symbolic adoptions are a great way to give them something meaningful, while still having something to actually give them. The $60 gift set includes an adoption certificate, photo and best of all, a cute plush of the animal. The pandas are popular, but spare a thought for ecologically important but not as cute animals, like the great white shark.

55. Braun Classic Analog Alarm Clock
BEST FOR THE LATE SLEEPER
Most people probably use their phones as their alarms, but it’s no secret that phones can be a distraction when it comes to bedtime, whether that’s from blue light or doomscrolling. That’s why an alarm clock can be a surprisingly good gift for one’s mental and physical health, even though everyone hates their alarm clocks. Of course, this clock won’t make getting out of bed any easier, but it looks good and is made by the design masters at Braun.
