It is the most wonderful time of the year. The season of gift-giving and gift-getting. It doesn’t matter which one you delight in more because the holidays are a time of excess, a time to treat ourselves and spoil everyone around us. This year I’ve hand-picked a no-nonsense holiday gift guide full of gift ideas men actually want.
Due to the nature of this gift guide being pretty comprehensive, I have made an effort to keep the descriptions as concise as possible. If any of the gift ideas below catch your eye then be sure to click through for more comprehensive details of the products but not before you scroll all the way to the end of this year’s holiday gift guide because you don’t want to miss anything!
For my holiday gift guide this year I’ve broken it out into several micro sections from active gear to boots, pocket knives to everyday carry gear, and pretty much everything in between. This way you can get a better overview of the items and identify the best gift ideas for men to fit your needs. Make sure you scroll all the way to the end because I’ve included A TON of excellent items this year and I don’t want you to miss anything!
BroBible’s 2019 Holiday Gift Guide For Men
Mizzen + Main: Apparel For Gentlemen
Mizzen + Main has been my #1 brand for button-down shirts over the past few years because there’s simply not another brand out there that can compete with them.
There’s not even another brand in the conversation, that’s how much better Mizzen+Main is than the competition. Here we see three offerings, The Draper, The Manhattan, and The Stanton pullover. These are lightweight, machine washable, wrinkle-free, and built to keep up with your active lifestyle.
[1] The Draper [$125]
[2] The Manhattan [$125]
[3] The Stanton Pullover [$125]
OluKai Moloā Slippers
The OluKai Moloā Slipper is simply a must-have for guys. I’m not even going to sugarcoat this, just trust me and pick up a pair. I got on board with OluKai slippers about two Winters ago and my life was improved exponentially overnight.
The upper is made from nubuck leather with a genuine sheepskin shearling lining and elastic gore panels for customized comfort that you really need in your life. The footbed is straight out of a dream thanks to the ‘dual-density anatomical PU footbed with a polyurethane gel insert and a soft Merino wool blend footbed cover’ which is removable and washable. ‘Moloā’ translates to ‘Lazy’ and these are the perfect slippers for lounging around and living your best lazy life throughout the holidays.
Fuego Box Monthly Hot Sauce Box
A Fuego Box holiday gift is perfect for a dad who can’t get enough hot sauce in his arsenal. You get to select the intervals and then, at the time of your choosing, you get a new Fuego Box filled with wonderful hot sauces. There are three different subscriptions price points and commitment levels on the monthly subscriptions, with different heat levels. The Pain Seeker one includes some truly bold offerings. For example – Born To Hula Guajillo Monster Hot Sauce – A super fresh sauce blended from guajillo chilies, habanero peppers, garlic, cumin and lime juice.

Leatherman Pocket Knives + Multi-Tools
My parents gave me my first Leatherman multi-tool decades ago back when I was in the Cub Scouts of America before I was even old enough to be in the Boy Scouts. True story: I still have that Leatherman in my bedroom right now. These are BUILT TO LAST. And for any man out there who will appreciate a pocket knife + multi-tool you can stop looking now because these are simply the best.
I’ve thrown together a few options for you to choose from. The first two are badass pocket knives with multi-tool functions and the second two have everything we’ve come to expect from Leatherman and then some. These have been perfected over the years to accommodate all of your everyday carry needs. Check ’em out!
[1] Leatherman Crater C33L [$24.46]
[2] Leatherman Crater C33TX [$44.95]
[3] Leatherman Black & Silver Signal [$119.95]
[4] Leatherman FREE P4 (One-Handed) [$139.95]
Faherty Brand Holiday Gift Essentials For Guys
Here we have two of my favorite season-appropriate offerings from Faherty Brand, two outerwear pieces that every guy will love opening up on Christmas morning. The Monument Valley Fleece is a vintage-style midweight layer that’s ideal for Fall or Winter but can be worn well into Spring and on brisk Summer days. Faherty is donating 10% of the sales from this fleece to the Spirit Horse Nation and Lakota Way Healing Center.
The other item featured here is the Reversible Surplus Bomber. Why should anyone have to choose between wearing quilted or non-quilted when there’s a jacket that has them both? This combines two traditional styles into the best bomber jacket I’ve seen in years.
[1] Monument Valley Fleece [$178]
[2] Reversible Surplus Bomber [$268]

Fulton & Roark Solid Colognes
Fulton & Roark is changing the solid cologne game as you know it and if you’re gift shopping for a guy who puts an emphasis on taking care of his body then this is a perfect gift. Most colognes come in a liquid spray bottle. You know this. You can’t walk through a department store’s first floor without being accosted by someone holding one of these bottles, but the Fulton & Roark solid colognes are different.
These solid colognes give you a wider distribution that’s uniform and the scent actually lasts longer than spraying it on your body. It’s a win-win. You choose where you want to apply it and voila, you smell great. There’s no misting it out into the air and walking through, hoping the cologne lands on your body. Or spraying it directly on your shirt and leaving a stain. These are brilliant and whoever you’re shopping for this holiday season is going to love them.
Tervis Tumbler Pro Sports Collection
It’s hard to put into words my love and appreciation of Tervis. I’m a born and raised Floridian and there’s a Tervis factory in my hometown which I vaguely recall taking some sort of fieldtrip to as a kid but I 100% remember these were ALWAYS in our cabinets at home throughout my entire life. That was then and nothing’s changed now. The Tervis pro sports collection (NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA) is a perfect holiday gift idea for guys who love sports.
They have multiple tumbler options for all of your favorite pro sports teams, ranging in size, design, materials (plastic vs. stainless steel). These are the ultimate glasses for pretty much every occasion and you’d be silly not to follow the links below to scoop up at least one (or several)for the holidays. My suggestion would be to pick one up and fill it with other goodies to put in a Christmas stocking.

Social CBD Drops With Some Holiday Spice
What better way to get into the holiday spirit than by indulging in some holiday spice? I’m talking, of course, about cinnamon. Specifically, the Cinnamon Leaf Broad Spectrum Drops from Social CBD that has been engineered to give your body the support it deserves.
The drops taste great and they offer up a full spectrum CBD that acts as a personal assistant to your body. These 0% THC drops offer up a CBD-enriched hemp extract from one of the top-rated brands in the game (#1 in Oregon) and it’s a perfect place to start for anyone who is curious about CBD but hasn’t sampled it yet.

Wahl Grooming Products For Men
This Christmas, look to Wahl for gifts in mind for a guy who takes grooming seriously. They have an array of beard, hair care, and grooming products that fit every man’s needs. Maybe you know someone who looks like they’ve been in the Alaskan wilderness taming bears for the past decade and needs to get their facial hair in order or maybe you know someone who just appreciates the finer things in grooming. In both cases, these products are perfect options.
[1] Wahl Lithium Ion+™ Stainless Steel Grooming Kit [$69.99]

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.

Mophie Portable + Wireless Charging Accessories
It’s practically 2020 and there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON you should ever find yourself with a dead smartphone or tablet. I don’t travel without my Mophie. In fact, I almost always bring a second as a backup. And at home, I sleep with the 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad next to my bed to wirelessly charge up my Apple Watch + iPhone at the same time.
I’ve pulled together these three Mophie charging accessories to ensure that you never find yourself stuck somewhere with a dead battery. Thank me later!

First up is the OluKai Hawai’Ilao Manu Ihu boots. These are probably my favorite leathers released in recent memory. I’ve been rocking these for a few weeks now and they are amongst the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. They look perfect with jeans and chinos. The upper is made from a soft nubuck leather, the lightweight compression-molded EVA midsole feels great, and the supportive single-density poured PU anatomical footbed has a microfiber cover that’s moisture-wicking and odor-absorbant.

Who Doesn’t Love A New Sweater?
As we buckle down for the coldest season of the year we need to bulk up on new sweaters because they’re comfy and the variety allows you to inject new life into every outfit. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, these sweaters are sure to make for a great Christmas gift this year.
I’ll be honest, my favorite sweater in this roundup is the Peregrine Funky Jumper. The contrasting Navy + Olive sleeves work so well together. You can pop your collar underneath this sweater (or not) and it will look great. The Funky Jumper is made from 100% British wool sheared from Yorkshire-raised sheep in the UK. I’m a big fan of the vertical rib-knit construction for clean lines that fall in line and frame your body well while always retaining its shape.
