This guide is filled with inspired ideas \u2014 from a teeny working TV to impeccable sweats to a Kyoto-inspired book nook \u2014 so you\u2019re sure to find something for the man in your life.If you\u2019re looking for more thoughtful gift ideas, we also have guides for dads, husbands, frequent travelers, and cocktail enthusiasts.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTA man\u2019s best tee ThreadheadsIf his one true love is \u2026 his dog, the Threadheads Custom Dog Bootleg Tee may be the real key to his heart. All you have to do is upload some hi-res images of the pooch (the auto-crop feature will remove backgrounds), choose a groovy background, tap out a short line or two of text, and then approve the image. The design is printed on a relaxed-fit T-shirt made from 100% combed cotton, and it will be delivered in about 12 business days. Editor Rory Evans got one for her teen, and she said the ordering process was \u201cvery easy\u201d and the results \u201chilarious.\u201d Threadheads also offers a Custom Cat Bootleg Tee, if your dude is more into felines \u2014 gifts writer Samantha Schoech got one for her delighted daughter.Sweet memories PapierFor quickie photo books, we favor the Papier The Valentine's Day Mini Hardcover Photo Book \u2014 it\u2019s just the right size and time investment for a snapshot of your relationship. Our top pick for photo gifts, Artifact Uprising, has better photo-printing quality, but it has a 40-page minimum and higher price tag. For the 6.5-by-6.5-inch Papier Mini, you only need to choose a breezy 24 photos, and it\u2019s fast to arrange snaps using the drag-and-drop interface. It also has several nicely designed covers. You can also add a stately mint-green box for $7.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTOutdoorsy sipping Michael Murtaugh\/NYT WirecutterYeti Rambler Wine Tumbler (10 oz)This dishwasher-safe tumbler keeps your drink at the right temperature for hours after it\u2019s poured, and it has a sloped lip (for easy sipping) and a smooth, lid-locking mechanism.$30 from Amazon$30 from REI$30 from Dick's Sporting GoodsToast Contrast Rim Enamel MugMade in Turkey, this attractive enamelware cup holds 11.8 ounces and comes in three sophisticated colorways (putty\/cream, cumin\/cream, cream\/leaf).$25 from ToastMaybe your boyfriend loves chopping it up at the block party or backyard barbecue, with a glass of red or a cocktail in hand. If so, give him the Yeti Rambler 10 oz Wine Tumbler. The double-walled, vacuum-insulated tumbler can keep beverages hot or cold for hours upon hours. During our testing of wine tumblers, writer Elissa Sanci\u2019s husband left the Yeti with the dregs of a whiskey cocktail in the sink overnight, and it still had ice in it the next morning. The 10-ounce tumbler also comes in dozens of nice colors \u2014 you could even get a mismatching pair for the two of you. If he\u2019s more of a coffee or tea guy, then opt for the ultra-handsome, lightweight Toast Contrast Rim Enamel Mug. It\u2019d look great by a river at sunrise or next to a flickering campfire at night.Muscle relaxer ProsourceFitMaybe your man has an intensive workout routine, or maybe he\u2019s just hitting the age when an on-demand massage sounds like true luxury. In any case, we love the ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set. It has dozens of spiked plastic disks that push into tight muscles, to relieve tension and increase circulation. Joseph Bernstein, a New York Times Styles reporter, is a proponent of the unassuming-yet-hardcore wellness tool. \u201cFor five minutes, it\u2019s torture,\u201d he says. \u201cThen you feel great: relaxed, loose, maybe even a little sleepy.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTCool containerIt\u2019s not often that we recommend buying a candy tin and throwing away the sweets. But in the case of the Nintendo Gameboy Grape Candy in Collectible D-Pad Tin, we take games writer Haley Perry\u2019s advice. \u201cThe candies are throwaways,\u201d she says. \u201cBut the tin is a keeper!\u201d The neato Nintendo tin looks just like the retro handheld console in all its 1990s glory. Just swap out those awful grape hard candies with his favorite mints, a sentimental note, or memorabilia. Now, you\u2019re playing with power.Timeless time-teller TimexSure, almost everyone\u2019s keeping time on their smartphones these days. But flicking a wrist to reveal a stately piece is still more cool and convenient than digging around in a pocket. The Timex Marlin Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch, an update on the 1960s-era classic, features a black sunray dial, vintage-style domed acrylic case, and numbers in a groovy typeface. It\u2019s available in either a stainless steel bracelet with a black face or a black leather strap with a blue face.Extra-special sports gear Ebbets FieldSports-gear sites are a dime a dozen. But Ebbets Field offers both a distinctive perspective and suave graphics that would thrill design-minded guys, baseball geeks, and history buffs alike. Its collections are dedicated to game changers, including the Negro Leagues, as well as Japanese and Latin teams, and its fascinating product captions double as illuminating historical nuggets. The cream-hued Los Angeles Angels 1942 Logo Cotton Twill Ballcap, for example, honors one of the charter members of the Pacific Coast League, which predated Major League Baseball on the West Coast. Its swaggy shadowed red lettering and satin binding and underbrim might appeal to any Angeleno. For everyone else, the site has plenty of styles to suit varying loyalties and interests, including an Osaka Tigers 1940 ballcap, one for the 1961 Kansas City Katz, and an especially nice New York Black Yankees 1940 varsity jacket.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTMusic on the goIf your man is serious about music and design, get him the stylishly portable Morel Biggie speaker. Belying its name, it\u2019s only 7 by 7 inches in stature, and it sports a handy, handsome leather carrying strap. The rechargeable speaker \u2014 recommended as worth considering in our portable bluetooth speakers guide \u2014 still boasts exceptionally clear sound, with a high-quality woofer and tweeter, and impressive bass. It\u2019s also exceptionally cool-looking and available in about nine color schemes, including aqua frost and midnight blue. Its battery lasted for 21 hours in our testing, but it\u2019s not waterproof.Hot-springs showerSome shower gels can be overly perfumy, while others, particularly those marketed toward men, can tilt way too far in the wood\/cigar\/leather direction. The invigorating, unisex Onsen Saru Hot Spring Shower Gel, however, is nicely balanced and easily works up to a beautifully loose foamy lather. Made in small batches in Los Angeles, it has a piney and sweet scent, evoking a cedar soaking tub in the midst of a snowy pine-shrouded onsen.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSuper ice cream sandwiches Marki Williams\/NYT WirecutterThere was a TikTok meme that banana bread was the equivalent of flowers for men. Although we believe that men also love flowers, there is some truth to the idea that the way to a man\u2019s heart is through his stomach \u2014 the same, after all, holds true for just about any human. If your boyfriend has a sweet tooth and ample freezer space, the 12-pack of Graeter\u2019s Assorted Chip Wheelies, one of our kitchen team\u2019s favorite gift baskets, might make his jaw drop. The Ohio-based creamery, in operation since 1870, makes luscious ice cream. And its Chip Wheelies pack various flavors \u2014 stippled with the brand\u2019s signature fudgy shards \u2014 between two huge cookies for some truly impressive ice cream sandwiches.Minimalist chain MiansaiThe Miami-based Miansai was created in 2008 by Michael Saiger to focus on understated men\u2019s jewelry pieces with raw materials (the brand now sells women\u2019s and kids jewelry too). To wit: the Miansai Venetian Chain Bracelet II. Just a touch more interesting than the ubiquitous Cuban chains, this ultrathin bracelet is a nod to Venice\u2019s heritage chains, which boast fluid movement and a sleek texture. Available in three lengths, it\u2019s made with a brushed oxidized sterling silver that gives it a moody onyx hue.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSophisticated bottle openerDesigned by Nobuho Miya, a master of Nambu ironware, the architectural Kamasada Bottle Opener has an understated dignity. Miya is the third-generation head of Kamasada, a manufacturer that has been making Nambu ironware in Japan\u2019s Iwate prefecture since the Meiji Period (1868\u20131912). And the 4.25-inch-tall bottle opener, made from Nambu Tekki cast iron, is surprisingly light in the hand, so it nimbly opens any kind of bottle (beer, soda, NA wine). Guys with an eye for design would treasure pulling this out for cocktail hour or just keeping it out on a bartop.Mini screen TinyCircuitsYour guy might lose his mind if you get him the TinyCircuits TinyTV 2. Writer Haley Perry\u2019s partner sure did: \u201cWhen he got it, he freaked out and brought it to show off at his family\u2019s Christmas right after,\u201d said Haley, who also reports that he often has it running in the background of his tattoo shop. Movies and TV shows look surprisingly decent on the adorable miniature TV\u2019s 1-inch screen. Out of the box, it comes preloaded with random videos, including an infinite loop of a crackling fireplace. But your guy can replace them with his own videos, using TinyCircuits\u2019 desktop app, or he can stream them with a USB-C cable (not included). It has 8 GB of storage (enough for about 10 hours of videos) and comes with an itty-bitty remote for adjusting the volume or flipping through the channels. AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTStudio Ghibli scenes UniqloWe\u2019re fans of Uniqlo\u2019s graphic collaborations, and its latest with Studio Ghibli will appeal to Hayao Miyazaki fans of all ages. The collection features designs made by Thai artist Kanyada dedicated to eight of the studio\u2019s iconic films. Made with 100% cotton, the thick, black Uniqlo My Neighbor Totoro Graphic T-Shirt shows splices of the iconic rain scene on the front and a cheeky, grinning orange Catbus on the back under the collar. The shirts run slightly small and will shrink a touch when washed, so consider sizing up, particularly if your man prefers a looser fit.A very neat project AnavrinGuys who are into Lego sets or origami, or who just love a good project, may find the Anavrin Kyoto Gion Book Nook Kit engrossing. The kit includes 304 precut and colored wood pieces, LED strings, a dust cover, and step-by-step instructions for putting together an enchanting pre-sunrise street scene inspired by Kyoto\u2019s Gion district. Once built, the 9-inch-tall book nook encases the fronts of machiya (traditional wooden houses), a ramen shop, cherry blossom trees, LED streetlamps, and a sweet yellow alley cat \u2014 and the self-contained diorama can fit between books on a shelf. Your giftee will need glue, scissors, two AAA batteries, and maybe some tweezers to complete the project. But once they\u2019re set up and they get going, it will likely be hard for you to tear them away.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSuper socks Marki Williams\/NYT WirecutterRototo Coarse Ribbed Old School Crew Socks (men\u2019s)These chunky, ribbed cotton-blend socks come in cool, retro-striped designs. They\u2019re made in Japan on specialized knitting machines, and they have a reputation for exceptional coziness (and lasting forever).$33 from Little King$33 from Totem Brand Co.Pendleton National Park Stripe Crew SocksPendleton\u2019s heritage blankets pay homage to national parks from Acadia to Zion with distinctive stripes; the sock versions are midweight cotton and look particularly dapper peeking from suit pants or denim.Buy from AmazonMay be out of stockWhat is it with men running through socks like tissues? Are they body-slamming their toes in them every step? If you don\u2019t mind spending a little more, the thick, long-lasting RoToTo Coarse Ribbed Old School Crew Socks (from our best socks guide) have a sweater-like texture, and they\u2019re a favorite among menswear geeks. \u201cThey\u2019re the best,\u201d affirms style writer Mitch Moxley. Otherwise, the Pendleton National Park Stripe Crew Socks are more affordably priced, have cushioned footbeds, and are designed like miniaturized versions of the brand\u2019s iconic blankets honoring national parks. Gifts writer Samantha Schoech regularly gives her husband a pair of the striped midweight cotton-blend socks \u2014 the Grand Canyon set is in rotation most frequently.For the neatniks Marki Williams\/NYT WirecutterA butt washer may seem like an unconventional gift. But for a certain kind of man \u2014 you know, the clean type \u2014 it may just change their outlook on life. And that\u2019s no exaggeration; we know plenty of bidet skeptics turned evangelists. The Brondell EcoSeat S101, our budget-pick bidet, doesn\u2019t have extras, such as a remote or heat settings, but it does the basic job (washing one\u2019s bum) well. The cold-water model is integrated into the seat, its sprayer has good aim, and it has a discrete control knob. Don\u2019t be surprised if your giftee goes from raising an eyebrow to looking into upgrading to a Toto model within a year or two.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSuperior wok Connie Park\/NYT WirecutterIt can be tough shopping for serious cooks \u2014 they likely have a well-equipped kitchen outfitted with their favored pots, pans, and tools. But what your giftee might not have is an upgraded wok. The Yosukata Flat Bottom 13.5-inch Pre-Seasoned Blue Carbon Steel Wok is one of our favorite woks. While heavier than our top pick, it also requires minimal seasoning, and it\u2019s quite a looker. The elegant hand-hammered bowl has a distinctive teal tint, thanks to blue steel, so he\u2019ll be stir-frying in style.Good smells Le LaboFor dudes who make smelling good a priority \u2014 thank you \u2014 picking a scent from thin air can be hard. (Gifts writer Mari Uyehara made this mistake going all in on a full-size YSL cologne one year.) Let them dab their way through a sampler set instead. The chic Le Labo Discovery Set features five 1.5-milliliter tubes of the perfumery\u2019s classic collection, all packed in a coolly minimalist box. Among the fragrances are the beloved Santal 33 (an earthy, musky blend of sandalwood, cedar, and leather) and Th\u00e9 Matcha 26 (fresh and herbaceous with a hint of citrus). You can spring for a full-size bottle when they\u2019ve nailed their favorite. The label even allows for a gratis 23-character personalization on the box.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSuperb sweats Reigning ChampReigning Champ Midweight Terry Slim HoodieA cool-kid favorite, this breathable, durable, well-constructed sweatshirt is made from 100% cotton, has nearly invisible seams, and comes in a range of great colors.$128 from AmazonReigning Champ Midweight Terry Slim SweatpantA cool-kid favorite, these breathable, durable, well-constructed sweat pants have jersey-lined pockets, a woven drawcord, and a slim, tapered leg.$118 from Amazon$118 from Reigning ChampBeloved by both fashion editors and r\/BuyItForLife Redditors, Reigning Champ is the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of men\u2019s sweats. The Reigning Champ Midweight Terry Slim Hoodie boasts a flattering fit, and it comes in the brand\u2019s most wide-ranging colors. (There are also standard and relaxed-fit hoodies.) Made with 100% cotton (no polyester), they offer superior construction, with a lined hood, semi-raglan sleeves (extending on a diagonal toward the collar), and the brand\u2019s signature, nearly invisible flatlock seams. And you can also nab matching sweatpants \u2014 both are top picks in our best sweatpants guide for their premium fabric. Sure, the Reigning Champ hoodie costs loads more than many others, but it won\u2019t pill after many washes, and it certainly doesn\u2019t look frumpy. Gifts editor Hannah Morrill\u2019s partner has had one for ages, and it\u2019s almost spooky how well it\u2019s retained its shape, color, and sartorial edge over the years.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTTune in Marki Williams\/NYT WirecutterAn homage to the 1970s transistor radio, the Lego Retro Radio has pale green casing, faux-wood detailing, and a turning dial with station numbers. It can also play 12 different audio clips, and there\u2019s a hidden slot in the back to hold a cell phone, for playing his own music from inside. Wirecutter\u2019s Erik Erickson, loves how it looks in his mid-century home. \u201cYou start with the internal mechanics, and it\u2019s not clear how it\u2019s all going to work,\u201d Erik said of the build. \u201cEventually, I started to see how one element toggles another, which affects another, and so on. It was a wonderful mystery to unfold.\u201dBuy-it-for-life coat Marki Williams\/NYT WirecutterAn enduring style, the comfortable, finely detailed Barbour Beaufort is a classic men\u2019s shooting jacket that would look great on a dog walk in the countryside or an evening out on the town. When we tested it for our rain jackets guide, we found that it was more of a terrific coat that can be worn in the rain, rather than being a straight-up waterproof slicker. The relaxed-fit jacket sports the brand\u2019s classic tartan lining and a waxed cotton finish with a subtle sheen. The jaunty corduroy collar can be turned up so its waxed underside protects your boyfriend\u2019s neck. It also has two moleskin-lined hand warmers above two roomy buttoned pockets, a detachable hood, and a wind-blocking button closure over a zipper.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSneaker geek Pop ChartIf your man has a well-organized collection of boxes encasing pristine kicks, he might love to hang the Pop Chart Compendium of Sneakers above them. Encompassing 150 styles starting with Converse\u2019s 1927 Chuck Taylor All Stars, the 24-by-36-inch neatly organizes the history of sneakers into a colorful grid. He might be surprised to find out that skater favorite Vans\u2019 Era Checkerboard debuted in 1976, and he could feel a tinge of nostalgia seeing the 1996 Air Jordan XI Space Jam. If he wants to go even deeper, consider including Virgil Abloh. Icons by the late, great innovator who designed for Nike before going on to establish his own brand.Combat shortsShipped straight from Bangkok, the 100% satin, retro-style Boon Sport Muay Thai Shorts are handmade in Thailand and come in an array of colors, like burgundy, emerald green, or black with red trim. Chris Gayomali, a former GQ editor and author of wellness newsletter Heavies, uses them for Muay Thai practice and then some. \u201cI find the thigh-revealing cut of Muay Thai shorts to be ideal for working out, stretching, or going on a jog,\u201d Chris said. \u201cThey don\u2019t typically have pockets \u2014 no one wants to get a toe snagged while kicking \u2014 but their minimalism is ideal for making you focus on the task at hand. Especially if that task is lounging.\u201d Just be aware that the shipping cost to the US is significant, but given the item\u2019s price tag, the cost washes out to a reasonable total.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTToy him Michael Murtaugh\/NYT WirecutterPlenty of boyfriends we know haven\u2019t relinquished their childhood love of action figures \u2014 they\u2019re just now more tastefully displayed on bookshelves and fireplace mantles. What\u2019s clearly missing from their lives is a custom Funko Pop made in their likeness. The customization module is a breeze to use, with mix-and-match choices for hairstyles, outfits, and two handheld accessories. Represent his personality with dozens of options, like a mug of beer, a guitar, or ramen. For an additional fee, you can also add a pet or opt for a two-pack with another personalized figurine (say, perhaps, you). Wirecutter\u2019s product testing logistics manager Leslie Grisdale and her husband were delighted with the pair (above) they received from her mother-in-law.Classic workwear Alex MillEvery dude needs a workwear jacket that looks great over a plain tee in early fall or a sweater when the temperatures drop. Made with garment-dyed, recycled denim, the Alex Mill Garment Dyed Work Jacket is versatile and surprisingly soft, and it comes in an array of great colors (French navy, thyme, red pepper). It also has roomy, round-bottomed pockets for storing a phone, wallet, and more, and durable corozo buttons with reinforced backer buttons.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTUnique portrait Happy ToonedIf your man tunes into Fox\u2019s animation lineup on Sunday nights or still guffaws at South Park, he might delight in seeing himself (and you) inside his favorite cartoon. For a custom illustration, first go to the Happy Tooned shop page and choose from one of more than a dozen popular shows. Then select the number of people and pets and a background, upload photos, and jot in desired details (particular clothing, tattoos, and so forth) in a message box. If he\u2019s obsessed with his dog or cat, you could also get the beloved pet Disneyfied. In 10 days or less, you\u2019ll get a mock-up (we requested multiple changes, and they were made quickly). You can opt for either a digital file or a 12-by-16-inch unframed or framed poster (for a higher fee).Exotic tree Fast Growing TreesPlant enthusiasts can easily get a Fiddle Leaf Fig or Monstera Deliciosa at their local nursery or hardware store. But they likely won\u2019t come across an Arbequina Olive Tree. Fit for a shelter magazine set, the attractive tree is available in several different heights (and corresponding prices), and it arrives, well packaged, with a crown of long, dark-green leaves. It does best in full sunlight and well-draining soil, and it can thrive both outdoors in warmer climes or potted indoors. With time, care, and the right conditions, it may produce olives, but it also just looks great as a living room accent.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTStylish gloves HestraThe Bergvik Leather Gloves are made by Hestra, a family-owned Swedish manufacturer that outfits both the Swedish and Norwegian ski teams with high-performance gloves. Your guy doesn\u2019t need to be a slalom racer to appreciate a pair. Renowned for their flexible construction, warmth, and durability, these gloves are great for anyone in a region with cold snaps. Available in three colors, the Bergvik gloves are made with goatskin nubuck and lined with fleece and Primaloft (a down-like synthetic insulation). Also, the good-looking knitted cuffs fit smoothly around wrists and neatly under jacket sleeves to keep chilly air out.Rub him the right way LushLush\u2019s vegan Massage Oil Bars are made from cocoa and shea butters that dissolve to oil upon contact. He can use these bars to moisturize himself, or you can suggest a DIY couples massage. Choose from dozens of scents (peppermint, citrus) shapes (pyramids, pineapples), and exfoliants (aduki beans, ridged honeycomb). For a sleeker presentation and to keep it dust-free in between uses, add in a lidded storage tin.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTA Crocs revolution Michael Murtaugh\/NYT WirecutterTo some, Crocs are divisive. To many, they\u2019re a staple, with a few asterisks (namely that they aren\u2019t waterproof or dressy). Enter the Crocs Dylan Clog, which has a clean profile and notably unperforated toe box. Compared with the style-be-damned silhouette of their clunkier predecessors, these Crocs are positively sleek. Textured to look like leather, they\u2019re molded from a single piece of the company\u2019s proprietary resin, and they\u2019re just as squishy, comfy, and washable as the OGs. Hannah Morrill\u2019s partner wears his pair to putz around the garden on rainy days and then out to dinner the same evening. Four years of routine wear did wear down the treads \u2014 but he promptly invested in a new pair so as not to go a day without.Forever sweater BlarneyThe Blarney Connall Crew Neck Aran Wool Sweater is about as archetypal as you can get. Made in Ireland, this 100% Merino wool jumper protects the wearer from sea dampness (and it will make your guy look really darn handsome). Wool naturally repels dirt, so this soft, cozy sweater shouldn\u2019t need a lot of washing, and it will never go out of style. But when it does need to be laundered, it must either be dry-cleaned or hand-washed and air-dried flat to maintain its shape.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSleek backpack EverlaneThe sleek, minimalist Everlane The ReNew Transit Backpack is one of our favorites from testing, thanks to its flat-to-the-body shape and clever storage options. The zip pouch on the top is ideal for the phone-keys-wallet trifecta, and the interior has two slip pockets. This bag has a recycled-polyester exterior (which resists water and stains), and it comes in a range of muted shades, from army green to slate gray. It\u2019s a great backpack for a commuter, a dad, or any guy who totes a lot of stuff.Dapper dopp kit Michael Hession\/NYT WirecutterIf your guy is still traveling with his contact solution, toothbrush, and deodorant loosely stashed in whatever bag he\u2019s rustled up, it may be time to give him the State Bags Bensen Toiletry Kit, one of the most versatile toiletry bags we tested. For longer trips, the bag folds flat to stash larger items, and when he arrives, he can hang it smoothly from a towel bar, for easy access. Carry-on devotees will appreciate the removable translucent plastic pouch, which holds up to four 2.7-ounce travel bottles \u2014 ideal for security checks. And it\u2019s available in more than a dozen prints and patterns.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSupple sweater Alex MillFor a sweater you\u2019ll love to see your boyfriend wearing (and one you\u2019ll love to borrow), we recommend the well-constructed Alex Mill X J.Press Shaggy Dog Crew. Sure, it\u2019s a tad pricey, but the collab between classic preppy brand J. Press (which is sold out for the holidays) and newer fashion company Alex Mill is worth it. The sweater is made to last with Shetland sheep wool in Scotland that gets softer over time. The hand-brushed loosely twisted yarn has a wonderfully nubby texture, and it comes in a bunch of contemporary colors exclusive to Alex Mill, ranging from a bold satsuma orange to a subtle navy.Japanese treats Connie Park\/NYT WirecutterIf your man appreciates Japanese culture or food, consider giving him the Bokksu Gift Snack Box. If you go for a subscription, each month\u2019s box features a generous and ever-changing assortment of Japanese salty treats and sweets, along with a multi-page culture guide explaining each one. One of our favorite gift-basket picks, Bokksu sources all of its treats from small family businesses. Many of the snacks, like Edamame Senbei and Funwari Meijin Mochi Puffs, wowed our testers. The flavors of the crackers, puffs, and candies inside were alternately zingy, tart, sweet, and salty.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTMinimalist wallet Michael Murtaugh\/NYT WirecutterEveryone needs a dependable, sturdy, and stylish wallet \u2014 even those who think stuffing stray cards and rumpled bills into their back pockets is a vibe. We rounded up many great picks in our guide to slim wallets. But for a classic, inoffensive look that matches most tastes, consider the Leatherology Thin Bifold Wallet. Cards slide smoothly into and out of the pliable leather, and for another $10, you can monogram the wallet with your love\u2019s initials.Caffeine conveyance Michael Murtaugh\/NYT WirecutterYou can find plenty of coffee subscriptions out there, but for the java lover with a curious palate, you can\u2019t beat a subscription to Trade. Each month\u2019s delivery comes from a different high-end independent roaster \u2014 a fantastic way for a coffee nerd to discover a new outfit. While the roaster will change each month, you can dial in your boyfriend\u2019s preferences by choosing from light-, medium-, and dark-roast subscriptions and those that focus on single-origin, espresso, or best-selling beans.

Perhaps less widely known is South African biltong, a simple and delicious beef jerky: In this preparation, thick-cut beef steaks are cured with salt and spices, such as pepper, coriander, and cloves, and then air-dried for about 10 days. And no one does it better, at least stateside, than Biltong Depot. The resulting meaty treat has a satisfying heft, and it\u2019s a healthful alternative for the Slim Jim lover in your life. Biltong Depot offers biltong precut or in whole steaks, with or without the fat trimmed away. We prefer the sliced original flavor without fat, but your meat-loving man may disagree.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTGreat cinema on demand Criterion ChannelYour beloved cinephile will be thrilled to receive a subscription to The Criterion Channel, which streams hundreds of carefully curated classic and contemporary titles from around the globe.
