Ever since my now husband and I first started dating, regardless of what our Christmas budget was we would always end up getting each other one expensive, splurge worthy gift that we knew they would love, and then fill in our tree with a couple smaller gifts that were more affordable. So while I’m usually all about the budget gift guides, I made an exception and am making a gift guide that’s all about great holiday gifts that you can get men this season, in a wide range of price points for any holiday budget.
All the items on this list are sorted into groups, with the least expensive items around $40 with the most expensive running around $100-$250. Pick your favorites for your price point to spoil your great guy this holiday season!
For those smaller gifts and stocking stuffers, make sure to check out our budget gift guides, Gifts for Men Under $35 and 25 Unique and Affordable Gifts for Men Under $25 to complement these beautiful splurge worthy finds!
SELF CARE & GROOMING
As a lady I love some self care and spa supplies, but men need some self care in their lives too! So I’m starting my list with some of my favorite splurge worthy self care products for your guy; not only because it’s one of my favorite gifts to buy my husband, but also because he was so excited and persistent about some new male grooming products from one of my new affiliate partners, MANSCAPED!
Specializing in below the belt male grooming needs, MANSCAPED reached out to me to be featured in my gift guides, and my husband encouraged, prodded, and asked again and again for me to work with them. Turns out he had heard of their products through some of his favorite podcasts and had always wanted to try them!
With such excitement about gift items I had never considered, I had them send some samples to try and I’m so glad I did! He absolutely loves all the products he got, and now I’m stuck trying to top those presents during the holidays this year! You can read the full review of all the products I was sent here and now they all have a place in my different men’s gift guides going forward!
Thanks to his persistence, I now have this nifty link that gives you 20% off your entire order and free shipping, so make sure to use it when making your own MANSCAPED purchases!

1. Beard Care Kit
If there’s something men love (and we love for them) it has to be their beards! It's also one of my favorite styles of self care products to buy for my husband, he’s always using beard balms and oils but never buys them for himself. This beard care kit is the perfect starter pack for any bearded beau containing beard oil, beard wax, and a scented soap for washing, available in several manly scents like cedar eucalyptus and backcountry forest.
2. MANSCAPED Crop Care Toiletry Kit
For below the belt grooming toiletries, this crop care kit is the perfect starter kit of everything he’ll need to keep himself fresh and clean!
This gift set includes more common items like foot deodorant and hair & body wash; but also hosts all sorts of below the belt toiletry items I never thought of but now super appreciate; like the ball deodorant, toner, and freshening wipes with ph control! Better yet all these products are paraben free, cruelty free, and come in a fresh manly scent that perfectly pairs with the cologne (which you’ll see later)
I love the idea of pairing this below the belt toiletry kit with a dapper toiletry bag like the ones featured in our Gifts for Men Under $35, where you can see more of MANSCAPED’s wonderful selection of products as well!

For the perfect grooming accessory for any man this holiday season, look no further than MANSCAPED’s Lawn Mower 4.0 Body Trimmer! With a wireless charging system, sleek design, and cutting-edge ceramic blades, this beauty is the perfect grown up grooming tool to both get a great trim in a difficult area and to reduce grooming accidents in general! I personally love its smooth and modern design and it being wireless is so convenient for our cramped bathroom.
Out of all the products he’s tried, my husband says hands down this is his favorite. It is, to use his words, far far better than any trimmer he’s had before and works so much better in the shower too! So if your man needs a luxury trimmer this season, visit MANSCAPED and check out this and all of their amazing products!
5. The Performance Package 4.0
If you're looking for a little bit of everything we just mentioned and want some great free gifts thrown into the mix, MANSCAPED also offers amazing gift sets that are perfect for the holidays!

PRINTS, WALL ART, & OFFICE ACCESSORIES
Another of my favorite types of gifts to give my guy during the holidays is art and accessories to decorate his office, garage, and other man cave areas of the house! Finding creative prints and décor to adorn his favorite spaces is always fun for me, and helps him personalize his space with his favorite hobbies and interests without all the frustration of trying to find them himself.

BARWARE & COCKTAILS
For the craft beer and cocktail connoisseurs, bar ware and cocktail themed gifts are always useful and beloved gifts, so I devoted a whole section to some of my favorite cocktail themed Etsy finds! From mixer and infusion sets to glassware to toast from, you’re sure to find something creative and delicious to expand his cocktail horizons!
No better way to enjoy all those whiskey cocktails than with a personalized glass; and this whiskey glass and stone set is a beautiful choice!

Coming with two whiskey bottles, six whiskey stones, and an assortment of three different types of oak and six different herbs and spices to flavor your whiskey, he’s sure to love creating a unique mix all his own.
Gin is a close second to whiskey in this house, so this delicious botanical gin infusion kit had to be included on our list too! Coming with a variety of spices, dehydrated citrus slices, a steel funnel, bar spoon, and finished with a glass bottle with a personalized gin label; this kit is the perfect choice for any creative gin mixologist!
14. Personalized Engraved Decanter Kit
There’s no better way to display whiskey or scotch than a beautiful decanter, so we are ending our barware with these gorgeous glassware sets! These decanter kits come with a decanter, two glasses, 9 whiskey stones, tongs, and a choice of leather or stone coasters. They range between a retail price of $100 to $250 depending on the shape of decanter and type of coasters you choose (though when I found them they were on a 40% sale!), with several engraving designs to personalize it perfectly for the special man in your life!
CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
There’s no better time than the holidays to indulge your man with wonderful evening and winter wear, as well as to bedeck him in all sorts of manly accessories! These are always fun for me to give and for him to receive, after all he loves having a streamline wardrobe of handsome items, but hates shopping for them himself!
Cologne is my favorite finishing touch on any evening outfit my husband goes out in, so I’m including it here with the clothes and accessories instead of up in the self care section!
The MANSCAPED Refined scent is quickly becoming my favorite since he received it, and it's certainly his favorite too! A light and citrusy scent with undertones of velvetier and a woodsy finish; it's perfect for any time of year, is manly and clean but not overpowering, exactly what we both like him to smell!
