Finding the perfect gift for the men in your life can be complicated. While there are a few standbys that you can always count on (a trusty pair of socks, for example), you should feel excited about whatever you’re giving, and more importantly, you want him to be just as happy. No matter what you’re celebrating his birthday, your anniversary, Christmas, or another special occasion go with something tailored to him and your budget.
Get all the inspiration you need by taking a look at this list of the best gifts for men, which includes ideas for all the important guys in your life: your grandpa, dad, son, husband, boyfriend, brother, friend, and so on.
We have the best Christmas gifts for men to make him extra cheerful from luxe gifts he would never buy for himself, like the latest Apple product, to fun and quirky novelties he never knew existed, like a craft beer subscription. No matter what man you’re buying gifts for this Christmas, he’s sure to love what he finds from you under the tree for years to come.
1. Sweatpant
Giving the gift of comfy sweatpants might just be one of the best Christmas gifts for men ever. Outdoor Voices claims that they’re “the softest sweats you’ll ever wear,” made with lightweight, breathable, and stretchy CloudKnit fabric, so don’t be surprised if he never wants to take them off.
2. Sneakers Shoes
Sneakers shoes are stylish, but they’re extremely comfortable, too. They’re made of renewable materials (a eucalyptus upper and sugarcane midsole), lightweight, and machine washable, meaning he will never have to live with stinky running shoes ever again.
3. Cotton Robe
Men deserve a cozy robe, too. This soft number is made of a waffle knit fabric, meaning it’ll keep him cool when he’s hot, and keep him warm when he’s cold. Now all he needs is a matching set of slippers.
4. Lounge Short for Men
Time for him to ditch his ratty basketball shorts for actual sleepwear. With this Christmas gift from Nice Laundry, he’ll upgrade his lounge shorts with fun embroidered icons to match any guy’s personality.
No need to sacrifice style for comfort because the breathable mesh fabric is just what men like but with a seriously soft lining that feels like a touch of heaven.
5. Apple AirPods Max
There’s a reason these headphones are a favorite of ours. With theater-like sound quality, he’ll never want to listen to his music or podcasts without these on ever again.
6. Shave Travel Kit
Nothing is more frustrating than running out of your favorite products while you’re traveling. With this kit, you’ll ensure he has all of his shaving essentials in one place.
It comes with a razor, cover, travel-sized shave gel, and a Dopp kit, so everything stays nice and neat in his suitcase.
7. Carhartt Legacy Gear Bag 30-Inch
Just like Carhartt’s durable outerwear, the Legacy Gear Bag can take on the elements with tough, water-repellent fabric and an abrasion-resistant base.
In the iconic Carhartt brown colorway, this stylish and sturdy bag is perfect for him to lug around his gym gear, camping equipment, and just about anything else a rugged man can think of.
8. The Fragrance Wardrobe For Him
Buying a cologne for a man is hard, so let him decide. This eight-piece set allows him to try different scents by famed perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who is known for his clean, delicate scents.
9. Powerbeats Pro Totally Wireless Earphones
Got a guy with a rigorous workout regimen in the house? These powerfully great wireless buds will keep him in the zone with rich bass beats and a no-slip, sweat-proof design.
10. Sunglasses
These frames channel everything that was good from the ’70s (effortlessly cool eyewear) and none that was bad (chest hair sprouting out of wide-brimmed button-ups). Not only that, but they also work on any face shape.
Two Rivers Mall recently launched a Gift Card with eGiftAfrica. It is one of the most versatile gift cards in Kenya and allows one card to be redeemed at over 80 outlets at the mall. It is the perfect gift for family, friends & staff.
The partnership offers the options of the card being bought from the mall customer service desk as well as an eGift option.
This means that one can simply log onto Two Rivers Mall Gift Card from anywhere in the world and purchase the gift card for a loved one. Payment can be done via credit card or Mpesa mobile money and the recipient will receive the gift card in their email with a QR code.
The gift card offers more value through access to a variety of retailers and is redeemable in over 60 participating stores within the mall such as Chandarana Supermarket, Bata, La Elegant, Delvis Exclusive, Dr Jays, Manix and a variety of over 13 food and beverage restaurants.

It gets better, one can redeem the cards full value or partially depending on their preference due to the extended validity period of 6 months from the date of purchase, unlike most shopping vouchers, the Gift Card is digitally monitored with every purchase redeemed real time hence the customer can keep track of his balance.

Customers are lining up to buy the gift card, corporate companies are calling everyday to purchase the same for their staff and valuable clients.
