The Perfect Christmas Gifts for Him This Year [2025]
With the holidays coming up, you’re probably taking a page out of Santa Claus' book, and beginning to craft your lists for the people in your life including your partner! Obviously gift-shopping can be tricky, especially since every year it seems like the market grows more and more saturated with…stuff; so finding the perfect gift can feel a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. We here like to imagine that there is no one single perfect gift, but multiple. It can be a culmination of all the things you know he loves all given to him on Christmas day to really make it the best holiday yet.
But you’re someone that likes to utilize gift guides and we appreciate you, so we’re going to do our best by finding the perfect Christmas gift for him so you don’t have to! In the past we’ve compiled many Gift Guides for Men, but since we’re headed into Christmastime, we thought we’d craft this list to align a bit more with what you’re searching for so let’s get started.
Self-care Gifts for Him He Will Love 🪮
It’s a common misconception that men “don’t like to take care of themselves” and we’ve seen more and more that that is false and the more we make it commonplace, more men will feel comfortable taking time to take care of themselves with products like these:
Facial Moisturizer (with SPF)

Skincare is something everyone should do, our skin is our largest organ and it’s what’s most visible to the elements so taking care of it the best we can is key. Obviously there is a lot of products out there for “facial moisturizer" - you can go on a lot of Reddit threads with people debating back and forth on what the best one is but we’ve found the Dual Defense™ Face Moisturizer SPF 30 for $35.00 from Nordstrom is the one to go with. First off it has SPF 30 in it and we know the importance of sunscreen, and secondly it has Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide which will help signs of aging, acne pop-ups, and the dry air of winter.
Body Oil

Speaking of winter, since by the time you’re going to be giving this as a present it’ll be just a few days after winter’s "official" start and that means the weather is going to fight our skin even more than normal. There are loads of lotions out there but we hate that greasy feeling that doesn't seem to leave even after a few minutes of soaking.
Palmer’s Raw Shea Nourish Body Oil for $8.99 is the lotion replacement you never knew you needed. Instead of waiting for your skin to dry after a shower you’ll use this when your skin is still damp. It soaks in fast and is great for 48 hours of refreshing moisturized skin. Just one more step in the shower routine is easy as apple pie!
Leave-in Conditioner
Helps all hair types and keeps things looking fresh. Image courtesy of: Emma’s Boutique.
Many men will fall into the “using a bar of soap or three-in-one shampoo” for everything in their shower routine and we don’t want to fall into that category. That’s why we recommend the Kitsch Moisturizing Argan Milk Leave-In Conditioner from Emma’s Boutique for $15.00. This helps dry, damaged, and frizzy hair from staying dry, damaged, and frizzy. It boasts about how it can “enhance hair softness by 35% after one hour” and it works for pretty much every hair type. Spray it on when your hair is damp and continue on with your day like you would- it’s that simple.
Beard Oil

If he is someone that likes to rock a beard of any type of facial hair then you’ve probably heard him mention itching or notice some skin irritation if he doesn’t have a good beard oil at his disposal. Luckily all you have to do is introduce him to Mad Viking Beard Co’s Valhalla Beard Oil for $21.00 for a one-time purchase. It’s non-greasy, relieves dry skin, stops dandruff, gets rid of the famed “beard itch”, promotes growth, and locks in moisture. This beard oil has thousands of five star reviews and is more than worth the purchase.
Tools for All Types of Occasions 🧰
All those day-to-day items you never knew you needed something for until you had it.
A Meat Thermometer
Check your meats and cook safely with this award-winning tool. Image courtesy of: ThermoWorks.
Love to cook with meat? Then he will need a reliable thermometer that can accurately take readings of the meat’s internal temperature so you know if you’re good to go. And there’s really only one thermometer out there that’s up to the job: Thermapen® ONE on sale for $76.30 (normally priced at $109.00) from ThermoWorks.
It’s an award-winning product that gives full readings in one second or less- (yes really). Its accuracy is also commended, ±0.5°F (±0.3°C), and has been used by many famous publications and kitchens all over the world. It comes in ten different colors and can be gift wrapped for an extra $5!
The Only Car Tool You’ll Ever Need
You become your very own mechanic at-home. Image courtesy of: BlueDriver.
Our cars are one of the most important “tools” we have in our lives. They take us to and from the places we need to be and we rely on them to do so efficiently and safely. But, like any piece of machinery, things may not always work the way they need to. With the OBD2 BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro Scan Tool for $119.95, you can scan your car from bumper to trunk and get a look at everything that’s going on inside.
The Pro Tool will tell you exactly what’s going on with your car and it’ll give you solutions on how to fix it. If he’s up to it, he can do it himself or he can take it to the mechanic and not get scammed out of something he knows isn’t the problem. Think of this like a doctor visit but for your car.
A Portable Charger
Keep your phone and other tech charged on the go! Image courtesy of: Amazon.
We have been fans of Anker for a long time now, they make some of the best portable chargers on the market and with thousands of positive reviews to back them up it seems like we aren’t the only ones. When we’re on the go we might not have the time to plug in our phones before we need to leave from a wall-outlet, the Anker Nano Power Bank, 10,000mAh Portable Charger with Built-in USB-C Cable on sale for $33.99 at Amazon (normally priced at $49.99) is what you need. It’s compact, durable, and holds quite the charge- plus it comes with a built-in USB-C cable which means one less thing for you to carry. It can charge iPhones, Galaxies, MacBooks, Headphones, and more.
Fun Gifts You Can’t Go Wrong With 🎄
As much as we love practical gifts, especially as we grow up, we gotta get in on gifts that are all about fun as well, don’t we?
A Steam Deck

Steam is a “digital distribution service” that specializes in all things video games. With thousands of titles available to all PC gamers, it was time that Steam tried their hand at creating their own console and that’s when the Steam Deck was announced in 2022. Arguably the most powerful handheld gaming device on the market, he can use this to play all his favorite games when he’s away from his computer.
There are three versions of the Steam Deck and we recommend the 512GB OLED for $549.99 which is their middle tier version. There’s also the 256GB LCD for $399.99 and the 1TB OLED for $649.99. The 512GB OLED has up to 90Hz refresh rate, 50Whr battery, and has 7.4 inches of display space.
LEGOs

LEGOs are for everyone at any age, no matter if you’re building with blocks that big and simple or ones that require tweezers. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction that comes when completing a LEGO set. With so many sets out there picking out the right one is almost impossible, so we recommend going for a set that aligns with his interests but if you need an idea then there’s nothing quite like the THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RIVENDELL™ for a whopping for $499.99. It has over 6000 pieces and will make for a majestic piece to add to any shelf.
A Christmas Treat
Sweet treats during the holidays? Yes please! Image courtesy of: Williams Sonoma.
The magic of Christmas doesn’t just lie in the day itself, it is regularly described as a season. With the hype being arguably more fun than the actual day sometimes. Spending time getting ready for the day, watching movies, shopping, drinking hot coco, and opening advent calendars like this one: Williams Sonoma Classic Candy Advent Calendar for $39.95. He gets to open a new piece of candy everyday leading up to the 25th. Sweet treats are always welcome during Christmastime.
Please Note: on their website they state that “this item will ship when available to ensure optimal shipping conditions.”
Keep the Suprises Going Even After the Holidays 🎁
Sometimes packages we order get delayed in the mail and we end up not being able to give them directly on the exact day we want to. But- we know as gift receivers, that getting something after a birthday or holiday can actually be more exciting than getting it on the day. So we thought to manufacture that surprise by getting them a digital gift card from PerfectGift, here are our favorites:
🎥AMC Theatres: Going to the movies, especially during the holidays, is a pastime we can never be upset at. With an AMC Theatres gift card you and him, or him and his family can go see the latest release on the big screen with his choices of a variety of concessions.
☕Dunkin’: aka Dunkin’ Donuts, is the fast-food chain that specializes in coffee, tea, breakfast sandwiches, and of course, donuts. He won’t have any trouble getting out of bed in the morning for work or school after the holidays are over if he knows a giant cup of Dunkin’ coffee and sugary donut is awaiting.
🎮GameStop: If he loves video games then he will absolutely love a gift card from GameStop as it is the ultimate stop for all kinds of gamers. Get classic games, new releases, consoles from any age, merchandise from their favorite franchise, toys, gaming gear, and more.
👖StitchFix: If your partner is overwhelmed by clothes shopping then he will absolutely fall in love with StitchFix which is an online subscription service that delivers clothes in your size and style directly to your door. All you have to do is go online to the StitchFix website and take their “Style Quiz”; then you’ll get paired with a stylist from their team who will pick out clothes they think you’d like. They come in the mail, you try them on, and then you keep and buy what you like and send back what you don’t.
💸Visa: Instead of being limited to only one store, you can use this gift card at any store that accepts Visa- (which is pretty much any registrar).
We pride ourselves on our Visa gift card experience as you can add a photo to create a custom Visa gift card and get it to you fast. PerfectGift prints and ships our own Visa gift cards, so we can guarantee same day printing & shipping (if ordered by 4:00pm ET Monday through Saturday). Since we are all in-house, no one else can beat our turnaround time because a lot of other spaces use third-parties to get their stuff ready.
PerfectGift.com is all about finding, well, the perfect gift! With hundreds of popular eGift card brands available, you can personalize and send someone a gift in just a few minutes. Pick between multiple restaurants, famous retailers, online subscription services, and more for your first PerfectGift today.
PerfectGift+ which takes gifting to a whole new level as it allows you to give the amount of money you would be putting on the gift card, but not tie it to any specific merchant.
