What is it with men’s gift guides? Like, men only like whiskey, cigars, and ties… That’s it?
Our loved ones deserve better, so today I’m bringing you a highly curated selection of travel gear and garments for all relations at all price points – without a whiskey rock or paisley tie in sight.

Oh – and while each of my gift guides may be categorized by gender, the truth is, the gifts below will appeal to a broad audience and range of identities – there may even be something for your most difficult-to-shop-for relative!:
2023 HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR HIM
1. Travel Steamer | Not only is this steamer aesthetically pleasing, but it features a rotating head for easy maneuvering (read: getting out the door faster).
2. The Anchorage Overcoat | A timeless classic, miraculously made in the USA. It’s an investment, sure – but it should last a lifetime.
3. The Bond Sling Bag | Wildly stylish and practical, this bag from a favorite travel brand has plenty of built-in organization and zippers that allow for a TSA-approved lock to keep things secure.
4. Vlogging Camera | Video is clearly here to stay, and this tiny camera packs a big punch. Capturing clear, shake-free footage of your travels, vlog or no vlog.
5. Boots | The I-wish-they-came-in-my-size boots (edit: OMG they do). These are durable yet lightweight, perfect for long days of city exploring.
6. TEC Hat | Shh… this hat has a secret or two! Located in the brim and along the side are hidden pockets, perfect for stashing keys or a little cash while traveling.
7. Alpaca Socks | The lightest, softest socks ever – plus the cable pattern feels like such a step up from a simple ribbed cuff.
8. Collapsible Water Bottle | Well, there’s no longer an excuse for being dehydrated. This bottle holds 64 oz. and folds down way smaller than a traditional half-gallon bottle.
9. Tote | Technically a gift for the host, but I can’t see this ever being given away a second time. Pair this with a pét-nat to win at gifting and get ready for a lot of picnics [save 20% with code WAYWARD20].
