Gift shopping for men has a reputation for being stressful. But it doesn’t have to be that way: If you stick to things that fit his personality, you’ll always get it right. Is he always hopping on a bike or spearheading the local pickleball league? We’ve got you covered. If he’s into fashion, why not go for a fun new bag or a pair of boots? And if he’s ready to graduate from Old Spice, allow us to recommend fragrances from Paco Rabanne or Jean Paul Gaultier. And if you know he loves something with a little bling, we have plenty of jewels to suggest, too. Whoever’s on your list this year, this edited selection is sure to please.
