If the guy in your life is hard to shop for, never fear — you can tickle his fancy with luxurious and unexpected gifts that will make his holiday special. From vibrant sartorial statements and great-looking rings for men to gadgets that bring out his inner kid, our holiday gift list will surely keep you on his nice list all season long.

1. An Upmarket Terrycloth Robe

Want to make your guy feel like a king? Give him a plush terrycloth robe from Turkey or Portugal that will last for years. These countries have hundreds of years of experience making soft, absorbent cotton toweling that is famous worldwide for its delightful texture and beauty. You can find generously sized, densely looped robes in every color, from classic white to vibrant, stunningly rich hues. The robes look as good as they feel, and they’re a practical indulgence he can enjoy year-round.

2. Rugged, Masculine Rings

Today’s men don’t shy away from expressing themselves with a bit of jewelry, especially when it comes to meaningful pieces like men's wedding bands or bold silicone rings that can be worn during outdoor adventures or on job sites where metal rings could be hazardous. From gorgeous wood, tungsten, and opal inlays to engraved shanks and sleek matte textures in eye-catching hues, you will surely find a keepsake that will suit his style.

3. A Perfect Wool Sweater

Your man may have plenty of clothes, but to take his style up a notch, give him a cool-season staple that is sure to become his favorite — a high-quality sweater made from Merino or Geelong wool. Instead of cutting and sewing the material, crafters make these sweaters by knitting each piece separately out of two-ply yarn and then stitching them together to create a garment that fits better and lasts longer. Sweaters made in England, Ireland, Scotland, or Italy are good-looking, breathable classics he can treasure for years.

4. An Artisan Belt

Every man needs a good belt, so impress him with a special, handcrafted version he can wear with pride. Look for American tanneries and leather shops that make custom belts, bags, and luggage in full-grain leather with brass findings and buckles, and consider getting the piece monogrammed for a special touch. You’ll be giving your guy a thoughtful, unique gift and helping to preserve skills that have been passed down through generations.

5. A Fiery Pizza Oven

If your fella loves a good pizza, elevate his experience with a gas, charcoal, or wood-fueled pizza oven that lets him create healthy, restaurant-quality pies at home. Pizza ovens can produce unique flavors and crispy, chewy crusts with just enough char. With more heat than a conventional oven, they cook fast, and they’re versatile, too. Pizza ovens make a perfect addition to a backyard grill, and when he’s done making pizza, he can give pulled pork, casseroles, steak, baked potatoes, and fruit pies a try. Whatever he makes, he’ll have a great time cooking with friends and loved ones because wherever there’s pizza, there’s a party.

6. A Rowdy Remote Control Car

Make him grin from ear to ear with a remote control (RC) race car or monster truck. High-end RC cars and car kits are pure fun for adults. Look for a model he can build, or get an RTR “ready to race” car he can drive out of the box. You’ll find everything from off-road 4x4s that can climb hills and rocks to drift cars that can turn on a dime and low-to-the-ground racers built to scale. Some of these cars are super-fast, easily exceeding 40 mph. Others have durable bodies and powerful motors with lots of torque. Features like working headlights, horns and sound effects, rubber tires, and aluminum bodies let him imagine himself speeding along the track or barreling through the mountains, even when he’s just out and about in the neighborhood.

7. Soft Merino Socks

A great pair of socks can make an outfit complete, so why not add a bit of luxury to your man’s sock drawer? Cozy socks in Italian merino wool are natural, lightweight, warm, and delightful. You can brighten up his ankles with socks in all kinds of richly colored varieties that are soft, comfortable, and machine-washable. The best of these socks are made from sustainable, top-dyed, long-fiber wool yarn he can wear all year, and they’re sure to keep his feet feeling cozy this winter.

8. The Perfect Popcorn Sampler

Who doesn’t love a good snack? Tempt his taste buds with a curated popcorn sampler! These days, you can get pre-popped corn in the traditional butter, caramel, and cheese varieties or branch out with exotic flavors like toasted coconut, cinnamon sugar, or garlic parmesan.
