Men who appreciate the finer things in life are notoriously difficult to shop for because if they like something, they’ve probably already bought it for themselves. But here’s the thing: The world is filled with exceptional finds, from the smoky, fruity, chocolatey goodness of top-shelf whiskey to the thunderous bass of high-fi streaming speakers, from the supple leather of an Italian-made wallet to the incredible plushness of California’s finest surfer-approved sweatpants. And you don’t have to be a multi-millionaire or an oil baron to enjoy them. Even if your luxury man thinks he’s got it all, we’re here with the list of 52 lavish must-haves that he didn’t know he wanted — till now.
Monday feels like Sunday in this all-around perfect men’s collared shirt from Malibu-based Bleusalt. The look is pure profesh—top-stitched double breast pockets, double button cuffed sleeves, elbow patches, and abalone shell buttons, but the feel is all leisure, thanks to stretchy-soft Tencel modal with spandex. Reviewers give it five stars across the board—one woman proclaims: “Hubby’s favorite shirt!” Comes in six sizes and seven colors—we’re loving classic navy.
Leather sneaks are the best thing to ever happen to business casual, and this style from Kizik is the best of the genre. Full-grain leather on top and rabbit foam outsoles on the bottom means he’s basically walking on stylish pillows—to a big meeting, the big game, or a big night out. As a bonus: The insoles are removable and washable, so it’s fine if he wears them every single day. Sizing goes up to 15. Also comes in ivory white, black (with black sole), pebble gray, chestnut and blush pink.
For guys who meditate or just appreciate a soul-soothing scent, Rhode Island-based Mizu has a set of six clean, vegan candles from their Meditation Collection. Packaged in eco-friendly glass jars and made with 100% natural ingredients—essential oils, organic extracts, vegetable waxes, the scents feel sophisticated and refined, calming and grounding. Some of our favorites are Lavender Pine (with hints of mint), Palo Santo (like an Ecuadorean forest), Desert Juniper (like desert winds with juniper berries, cedar and laurel life) and Hinoki (like fresh mountain air, with cypress and grapefruit).
He need not be a grandmaster to want to make his chess game more artful. This modern chess set, a newly authorized edition originally designed in 1944 by Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, is made of mini abstract plexiglass figurines — the tallest, the King, is three inches high — on a folding board. When it’s not chess night, display this modern marvel as an extraordinary conversation piece. Checkmate!
Dry spice rubs are a simple way to kick up the flavor of grilled, seared, roasted or broiled fish or meat, and this collection of bestsellers from chef-owned Spiceology has kick in abundance. For brisket, we like to use Chef Chad White’s Brisket Rub (hint: it also creates the “bark” you want); for a rack of ribs on the grill, we like Cowboy Crust Espresso Chile Rub to add coffee and smoky flavors; we like to add Greek Freak to veggies for Mediterranean flare. Bonus: Unlike traditional heavy BBQ sauces, the spice blends have zero calories.
A well-made leather belt is the difference between looking fine and looking fine. We love this 1.5-inch wide vintage leather belt with brass roller buckle from artisanal leather workshop Ghurka. Handmade in the USA, it’s simple and elegant and says, “I look good.” Comes in three wardrobe-essential colors, sizes 34 to 42 (order two sizes up for the best fit).
Post-covid, business dress codes have relaxed a bit, but your man still needs to look professional and polished. Enter the No Tuck dress shirt from Mizzen + Main. Two inches shorter than regular length, it’s meant to be worn loose and casual, though it’s still a flattering trim fit. (Don’t worry, it’s also a bit stretchy, with 12% spandex.) Of the 11 styles, from solids to plaids, we’re loving the White Geo Floral pattern—a manly take tiny flowers for a man who knows who he is. Try the City Flannel version on weekends. Comes in S to XXL.
Fluffy stuff — real or fake — has been adorning fashion items from coats and boots to bags and belts for several seasons now, but we love it most on this brown leather bomber jacket from Alpha Industries. Made in the USA from 100 percent sheepskin leather, it’s lined in sherpa wool fleece to withstand extreme cold weather, and it has stylish buckle straps on the collar and hem to ensure a perfect fit. It might be the most comfortable, cool jacket he’s ever put on his body — and he may never want to take it off.
He can keep bevvies cold for days—on road trips, camping trips, on the beach, at outdoor picnics or a patio parties—in this award-winning leak-proof 45-Quart drinks cooler. He’ll be impressed by the insulated three-inch walls and silicone sealing that locks in temperature, and the groove that drains melted water away from the ice to maximize the chill. Comes in multiple sizes but we recommend the one that fits 44 cans. Now that’s a party!
Weighted blankets can be the calming, soothing, stress-busting solution for anyone struggling to get quality Zzz’s. Because they feel like a hug, they may offer a form of deep-touch therapy that lowers cortisol and boosts both serotonin and melatonin. We love the chunky hand-knitted 15-pounder in soft jersey knit from Brooklyn Bedding. It’s got a thick, open weave that adds weight without heat, so he’ll feel snuggled without sweating.
Yes, it’s soap, but it’s French—ooh, la la!—so it smells heavenly in a subtle, classy way, and because it’s made with botanical oils (coconut, sunflower, grape and olive), it will actually leave his hands softer than before he washed them. We love the black tea variety, bottled in a decidedly masculine black glass dispenser, which is pretty fitting considered the soap is made in a cauldron, according to French tradition. Comes with a planet-friendly refill bottle (because trust us, he’ll want a refill).
If your guy tends to wear his same favorite thing over and over, you’ll want to make it these handsome Chelsea boots—they’re clearly well made, but they have a bold, rebellious edge that works as well with jeans as it does with suits. UK-based, family-founded company Taft uses European leather in a “stitchdown” method that guides rain and snow away from the boot, so it’s tough and durable, even as it looks polished. Comes in nutmeg, sizes 6 to 12.
We’re betting your luxe man enjoys some fresh, authentic sushi and sashimi, but he’ll enjoy it even more when it’s presented on a sleek Larch Wood Ki serving board. The kiln-dried wood, handcrafted in Canada from sustainably harvested trees, has a striking Asian-influenced end-grain construction, and looks just as fancy as a bread and cheese board or a platter for canapés.
Ever wonder how his favorite French roast stacks up against coffee from Southeast Asia, South America, Africa and the coastal Americas? Gift him a World Coffee Tour from Beanbox and he’ll brew up a blast exploring the 12 varieties, 1.8 ounces each, all from award-winning roasters. The set comes with tasting notes so he can feel smug in his identification of the chocolatey undertones in Latin American coffees, the fruit-forwardness of African roasts and the earthiness of Sumatran blends. Order beans or grounds.
Smart-looking trousers that feel like workout pants? Yes, please. Meet the cult-favorite stretchy five-pocket pant from Public Rec, with nearly 1,500 enthusiastic reviews. These modern-fit pants are lightweight, wind and water-resistant, and have a deceptively roomy fit through the butt and thighs. They come in 12 colors from the core wardrobe staples black and navy to weekend-fun hues such as rust, sand, dark olive, and military khaki.
An essential tool for any home chef, this wireless meat thermometer ensures that your steaks, burgers, ribs and roasts are cooked to perfection. It’s got two wire-free sensors that send temperature readouts via the app even up to 500 feet away, so you can be chatting with your guests in the living room and keeping an eye on dinner at the same time. It has thousands of five-star reviews and is easy to use right out of the box, so it’s kind of a no-brainer of a gift for the carnivore in your life.
Don’t tell him these PJs are super cute, with their modern, minimalist colors and satin contrast piping, or that they’re made by the luxury lingerie brand Cosabella. Tell him they’re super soft, made from Pima cotton and modal in Peru, and that you can’t wait to snuggle him in them. The sets come in seven color combos, sizes S to XL— we love the Aasmani blue with navy blue piping. What fans say in a nutshell: Perfection.
This shapely lead-free crystal carafe from legacy tabletop brand Villeroy & Boch would look right at home on a bar cart in a Mad Men episode, or in your whiskey connoisseur’s dining room. But it doesn’t just look fancy—its specially shaped to enhance the different characteristics of whiskeys and can keep them tasting fresh for up to two years.
If there’s no snow on the ground, golfers will golf, and they’ll stay toasty in this long-sleeve performance polo from Southern Tide. It’s comfortably stretchy, sweat-wicking, and UV-protective for sunny days on the course. Comes in five sizes, S to XL, and four preppy colors. Complete his look with the Jack Performance Pant, in 19 sizes for the perfect fit.
We have dozens of products in our shower at any time, and yet we keep reaching for this organic, cruelty-free, paraben and sulfate free Italian haircare brand—because it just works! Rossano Ferretti’s Anti Hair Fall Routine features a shampoo, conditioner and rejuvenating serum to stimulate scalp circulation for healthy hair regrowth and thickening. Really, who wouldn’t want that? At least four beauty awards—and over 150 five-star reviews suggest he’ll love the results.
If he hasn’t yet discovered the joys of a money clip to keep cash tidy—or he’s already a fan, upgrade him to one by Leatherology. It’s simple: high-quality leather, a magnetic clasp strong enough to keep bills secure, and a two- or three-letter monogram make it truly gift-worthy. Add the Leatherology bifold wallet, also with his monogram, to complete the set.
There’s a right tool for every job, and the job of BBQ boss requires durable stainless steel implements that can perform under high heat again and again. This quartet from Sur La Table has everything he needs for that perfect sear on his steaks, including an offset handled turner, curved fork, silicone basting brush and spring-loaded tongs. High-tech stay-cool handles make maneuvering easy and are long enough to protect hands from flames. Every tool handle has a ring on the end for easy hanging, which is helpful because these bad boys will see a lot of use.
There’s already a waitlist for this set of curated cookie drops — complete with a Cookie Concierge — from Last Crumb, the gourmet cookie brand that would earn a Michelin star if it could. Your limited-edition flavors could include some our favorites: Better Than S*X (chocolate chip), When Life Gives You Lemons (lemon bar), The Madonna (peanut butter) and Not Today Mr. Muffin (blueberry muffin). Each handmade cookie comes individually wrapped for ooey gooey freshness, and is large enough to share, lucky for you. Until you’re let past the velvet rope, you can score a Core Collection of 12 deluxe cookies in a classy black box for $140.
Fans of Solo Stove, the outdoor fire pit with a cult following, will need to add a Pi Prime pizza oven to their outdoor cooking arsenal. It’s got the signature Solo demi-done heating technology to reach blazing hot temps super quickly, but it’s powered by propane, so it switches on with a knob — no messing around with wood sticks or charcoal pellets. And it makes the most sensational homemade pizzas in under two minutes. Don’t be surprised if he wants pizza night every night (and you will, too).
Inspired by the iconic goggles of 1950s-era Formula 1 racers, these Speciale shades will give him champion-level confidence the moment he puts them on. Designed in California by one of the world’s most recognized Ferrari collectors, the frames are crafted in Japan from titanium and cellulose acetate, and offer 100 percent UVA/UVB protection — not to mention a timeless coolness.
According to principles of Feng Shui, the money tree is a good luck symbol that’s supposed to attract wealth, abundance, and positive energy. Even if he thinks Feng Shui is b.s., he’ll dig the shiny green palm-like leaves and the fact that it’s pet-friendly and even air-purifying, per NASA. The money tree from Bloomscape comes in an elegant eco-pot made from 80% recycled plastic and with a braided trunk, a traditional style in East Asia.
If he thinks sweats are cozy, this 100 percent pure luxurious cashmere pair will blow his mind. Handmade in California by surfer-approved LA brand Aviator Nation, these lightweight classic crew sweater pants are pretty much guaranteed to be the softest fabric to ever grace his body, and they have a lightning bolt down one leg that will connect directly with his inner superhero. Comes in deep heather, vintage blue or vintage white.
A movie on TV is fun, but a movie projected larger than life on the living room wall or outside under the stars is a party! If your man is a fan of movie night, he needs this compact, wireless projector from Kodak. The mini home theater system, complete with its own tripod (so no need to fetch a dictionary to perch it on) instantly streams media in full HD from apps like Netflix and Hulu via the built-in Android OS, and also works with iPhone, tablets, laptops, streaming sticks and more. With the Kodak Luma app, he’ll feel like a magician using his phone as a remote.
This 100 percent cashmere ribbed throw blanket is very very soft and very very warm, but loosely woven so it breathes (which means no sweating). He’ll want to drape it over the sofa for late-night binge viewing or on the bed for extra chilly evenings. Looks as good as it feels, in five dude-friendly colors: auburn, bluestone heather, cream, gray heather and turmeric.
If quiet luxury is au currant, this sleek aluminum checked bag is whispering “first class.” With a chic ridged body, 360-degree spinner wheels and cool details like the spring-loaded leather handle, he’ll breeze effortlessly from curb to check-in. The Medium is a perfect size for a one- to two-week trip — it’s got plenty of compartments to help him stay organized and compression technology to keep it all compact. Bonus: Besides getting compliments, he’ll have no trouble spotting this perfect travel companion on a crowded luggage carousel.
Is he foxy? He’ll be more so when he’s brandishing this devastatingly handsome silver double foxchain bracelet from Brilliant Earth, a San Francisco-based design studio. Your man will not only look good, but he’ll also feel good about supporting a company that uses recycled gold and silver, gives back to local communities through its foundation, and is well on its way to being carbon neutral.
Perhaps the definition of luxury is when even the mundane is special. That couldn’t be more true than with this positively velvety 100 percent cashmere hoodie sweatshirt from Italian brand Falconeri. Every detail is high quality: You don’t even have to feel it to see its rich texture and graceful fit. Comes in Ice Melange (light grey), Dark Grey Melange (heathered grey) and Blue, and in seven sizes from S to 4XL.
If pickleball fever has him in its grip, he’ll want to level up his game with the pickleball paddle endorsed by Riley Newman, the #2 pickleball player in the world. This paddle has all kinds of fancy mechanics behind it — think terms like aerodynamic, precision optimization, carbon fiber and thermoforming seal technology — but all he needs to hear is “more wins,” and he’ll be dashing out the door to play. Make it luxe by adding a pickleball backpack and this seriously industrial 64-ounce insulated water bottle.
That’s right, fire! Roaring, crackling fires all winter long with enough premium kiln-dried firewood — hickory, oak or uncut rounds — to fill a 4-foot by 4-foot rack, plus a fire starter package with oak kindling and excelsior fire starters. Cutting Edge firewood is dried long enough to make it light more easily and burn longer than other logs, plus it’s pest- and mold-free and produces less smoke. This is a sneaky one because it’s really a gift for the whole family. Just add s’mores!
Film buffs need not visit a movie theater to get the glorious surround-sound experience when the new JBL Bar 1000 delivers the same panoramic 3D audio at home. Whether he’s watching movies, streaming music or gaming, there’s all kinds of technology — multibeam and four up-firing drivers! 880W of total output power and thunderous bass from the 10-inch subwoofer! — to envelop him in rich Dolby sound. One feature we especially love is PureVoice technology, which makes dialogue crisper even during louder scenes, so there’ll be a lot less “What’d he say?”
Your coffee connoisseur is about to become one of those people who texts photos of his caramel macchiatos to his friends. That’s how impressed he’ll be with this new collaboration between Nespresso and Breville. It builds on the Nespresso features he knows and loves — the convenient capsules, the varied cup sizes, but adds a built-in milk frother for café-style drinks like flat whites and cappuccinos. He can even use the steam wand to create latte art (hence the photos).
Whiskey drinkers are in for a rare treat with this limited-edition bottling of Hibiki in honor of Japan’s House of Suntory centennial. Hibiki is an amber blend of malt and grain whiskies with notes of rose, lychee, a hint of rosemary, mature woodiness and sandalwood with a honey-like sweetness. The bottle depicts a kakehashi (bridge), symbolizing the past, present and future, with water flowing underneath to represent cleansing of hardships. Kanpai! (That’s “cheers” in Japanese. Now you’re authentic.)
Elite swimmers, surfers and triathletes need a wetsuit to optimize their speed and stay warm in cooler waters. The Men’s TYR Hurricane Wetsuit Cat 3 is made of Yamamoto neoprene, which doesn’t feel constricting, but more like a second skin. And freer movement means better form, so he can power stroke his way to happiness whether he’s competing in an Ironman or just catching a gnarly wave. Comes in eight sizes from XS to XL.
This gift is all about him, literally his genes. One tube of saliva unlocks genetic health risks and attributes and family secrets. He may learn he has the elite muscle composition of power athletes and that he has cousins in Buenos Aires or Cleveland. With 180+ reports on health risks, carrier status, and lifestyle wellness, plus actionable advice on how to use this information, it’s a fun and informative romp that could hold his interest for years to come. Opt for the annual membership, which renews at $69 per year, or a one-time health and ancestry kit.
Prop up his beloved books but make it sculpture — that’s what you get with this sophisticated, modern set of marble bookends from the Pennsylvania design shop Lostine. Made by local artisans, the bookends can be positioned in a number of ways on a bookshelf or just be admired as objet d’art. At 8.5 pounds each, they’re also heavy enough to serve as extravagant door stops.
Wagyu means cow in Japanese — but here it’s come to mean juicy, premium steaks with plenty of marbling and delicious flavor. Meat lovers will drool over the sought-after Wagyu sampler from KC Cattle, a top Wagyu breeder whose quality leaves even specialty stores in the dust. The sampler features a 16-ounce Wagyu flat iron steak, a Wagyu Top Secret KC strip steak, and a Wagyu sirloin cap roast (picanha), made famous by Brazilian steakhouses.
Quiet luxury comes to menswear with this two-toned merino wool crewneck from Mr. Turk, a brother brand to Trina Turk. It’s soft, lightweight and breathable, so it’s perfect for layering in just about any season. We love how beautifully this sweater drapes on the body — it shouts quality without ever speaking a word.

Pre-order now for the November 15 release.
If he’s never experienced charcuterie night, this abundant board of deliciousness will convince him to start. Legendary New York cheese monger Murray’s Cheese makes this centerpiece spread of seven extravagant cheeses including aged gouda, tallegio and triple crème brie, plus charcuterie picks including sopressata, chorizo and ham. Add spiced pecans, blue cheese-stuffed olives and sour cherry spread, and it’s an irresistible dinner party, whether you have guests or not. Repurpose any leftovers into a decadent omelet or grilled cheese.
If he likes to look dapper and bespoke but feel like he’s wearing sneakers, these dress shoes are a perfect fit. Handmade in small batches by master artisans, they’re Vachetta leather inside and out — which is a huge bonus as it regulates temperature, absorbs sweat and controls odors. Comes in sizes seven to 14 and in five Wall-Street-worthy colors including black, brown, Bordeaux, oak and tan. They’re made to order, but over 150 five-star reviewers say it’s well worth the wait.
Ready for a bird’s eye view? That’s a literal thing with this smart bird feeder, which uses AI to let you snap up-close photos and real-time videos of your avian visitors. No more zooming in his phone or running to grab binoculars every time a ruby throated hummingbird or black-capped chickadee flies in for a seedy snack. It’s easy to hook up to a nearby tree or pole and works with Amazon Alexa, Echo Show and other smart devices. So cool it should be il-eagle (sorry).
Italian craftsmanship and buttery soft calfskin leather from a gold-rated tannery in Arzignano, Italy, make this minimalist backpack ooze quality. And though it looks compact, its two ample compartments easily fit our 16-inch laptop, book, water bottle, foldable umbrella and light jacket, so we take it to work and on trips. Well-designed shoulder straps and a padded back keep it from digging into our skin and making us question our life choices.
What is it about Wayfarer shades that make you feel like a movie star? The classic style gets a modern update with the Zenith frame from Torus Eyewear, a futuristic company that uses sustainable cellulose acetate from renewable resources and nickel-free beryllium alloy that’s stronger than steel and yet lighter than aluminum and 100 percent hypoallergenic. Not only are the lenses UVA and UVB blocking, but they adapt to different lighting, darkening more on sunnier days. And how do they look, you ask? Cool. Very cool. (Especially in the translucent sand color.)
Stylish dudes love a good quilted vest in chillier temps. This brand-new stylish topper from golfers’ go-to brand, Mizzen + Main, has performance fabric to keep him dry when it pours at the game and a polar fleece lining — with interior pockets — for staying toasty through an outdoor dinner date. Pair it with their all lightweight, stretchy Helmsman chino pants, which consistently earn five-star reviews.
When you see a well-dressed man, you know the wallet he retrieves from his pocket will be a supple yet durable leather, well-crafted — probably from Europe, tasteful and understated. It’s likely to be black or a beautiful tan patina, and it may even sport a monogram. The Ghurka Pass Case Wallet checks all those boxes, which is probably why it earns all five-star reviews from its international fan base. It’s also practical, with six credit card slots, two extra pockets for receipts, and a leather-lined cash compartment.
There’s so much to love about Sitka Seafood Market’s high-end seafood: It’s traceable, wild-caught and sustainably and responsibly harvested by local fisherman, plus it supports Alaskan fishing communities.

Each box contains 4.5 pounds of seafood in recyclable packaging on dry ice. Choose monthly shipments for one, three, six or 12 months.
