Gifts for Him
Shopping for a guy gets a lot easier once you think about what he already does on the weekend. If he makes the same drink every Friday night, get him something that makes it better, and if he grills in any weather, there is gear for that too. Most of what is here follows that idea: things he will keep using, not things that end up in a drawer.

View on AmazonHow we picked these gifts for him
There are no gag gifts on this page. Everything is rated 4.5 stars or higher, and we looked for reviews where people mentioned using the thing regularly rather than just saying it arrived on time. These came from our Valentine's for him, anniversary, Father's Day, and birthday lists, so they have already been through a couple of rounds.
Good gifts for him at every price
Under $30 gets you things like the whiskey stones, the grill gloves, and the meat thermometer, all of which see a lot of use. The $50 to $100 range is where the decanter sets and the cast iron live, and above that you are essentially buying him a new hobby, which is a wonderful gift if you can swing it. The price buttons above will narrow it down. Prices are live from Amazon, and buying through our links supports the site at no extra cost to you.
