It’s time again to crack open our wallets as we think about the holidays and gift giving. It’s hard work putting together a universal gift guide for men because we’re all so different, but somebody’s got to do it. This 2019 ’50 Gifts For Men’ gift guide is for guys who have everything. It is a handy shopping resourced chock full of gifts for hard to buy men, gifts for your brother, for you, gifts for your dad, and for everyone. We’ve got gift ideas for every type of guy on the planet.
Each year as I put together the 2019 ’50 Things We Want From Santa Claus’ gift guide I try to keep it fresh. This gift guide covers a wide array of items, from the best bottles of bourbon to grilling equipment. We’ll see cigars, boots, wireless charging pads, fishing gear, jackets, sunglasses, earbuds and more. If you are one of the ‘hard to buy for men’ then this gift guide is for you. Likewise, if you hate coming up with a list of gifts to send your family then I’ve got you covered. This is meant to be the most comprehensive gift guide for men on the Internet, whether it’s for Christmas or birthday gift ideas. As we march toward the holidays, there will be more specialized holiday gift guides featured here on BroBible but in this ’50 Gifts For Men’ roundup, we’ve got something for everyone.

Great Grooming Accessories as Stocking Stuffers
One of the most common things I hear from college friends who visit and stay at my house is how much they enjoy the array of grooming products in the guest room. The first few times I didn’t think much of it but over time I realized that most guys (my friends included) are pretty lazy when it comes to buying grooming essentials but men appreciate those nicer products as much as the ladies do, we just rarely think to buy them for ourselves. That’s why I’ve thrown together this collection of the best grooming accessories for men that you can wrap up or use as stocking stuffers this Christmas.

The Glenrothes Soleo Collection
The Glenrothes
For me, this time of year is PRIME single malt scotch drinking weather. Sitting in cozy rooms with miserable weather outside and sipping scotch is how the Scots intended it to be drank. I wanted to throw The Soleo Collection from The Glenrothes on your radar for some single malt inspiration this season.
The Soleo Collection includes The Glenrothes 10-year-old, The Glenrothes 12-year-old, The Glenrothes Whisky Maker’s Cut, The Glenrothes 18-year-old, and The Glenrothes 25-year-old expressions. Each comes with tasting notes and pairing suggestions to help you live your best life. I recently tasted my way through the Soleo Collection and fell in love with the 18-year-old. This is one of my favorite spirits around and I honestly cannot recommend it enough. So just follow that ‘shop now’ link below for more information on the Soleo Collection and where to pick it up for yourself.

Perfect Gifts For Guys Who Appreciate Fine Spirits
When in doubt, go for anything spirits-related and you’ll hit a home run with your holiday gift choice. Whether it be for someone who loves expensive wine (it’s me, I’m that guy), rare whiskey (yup, also me), or other spirits. These are excellent gift options. First up is the Coravin Limited Edition II Advanced Wine Preservation System which enables you to extract a glass of wine without opening the full bottle. You can use it to test if an aging bottle of wine has reached its peak yet or you can use the Coravin to stretch out a fine bottle of wine when you might only want to drink a glass. It’s amazing.
