My wife says I’m impossible to shop for because all the gift guides for men are full of booze and cigars. If that’s your thing, great! But what if these aren’t your thing? Don’t worry, I’ve done some research and found some gift ideas for men that are more original and fun. Here are some ideas that might make your guy smile.
Dan’s top 5 gifts for men that aren’t cigars and alcohol:
- Slim Wallet with Money Clip
- YETI Tumbler
- Cordless Handheld Vacuum
- Grilled Cheese and Panini Maker
- TV Remote Holder
1. Slim Wallet with Money Clip
Are you tired of having a bulky wallet that makes you sit crooked and gives you back pain? Do you wish you could have a sleek wallet that fits in your pocket without ruining your posture? Well, you’re in luck because, with a slim wallet, you can say goodbye to those problems. I used to have a fat wallet that was stuffed with receipts, cards, and coupons. It was so heavy that it made me lean to one side and caused me a lot of discomfort. But ever since I switched to a slim wallet, I feel like a new man. I can sit straight, drive comfortably, and walk with confidence. A slim wallet is the best thing that ever happened to me, and it can be for you, too.

Or, if you’re into a slightly less rugged slim wallet:
2. YETI Tumbler
Come on, you know any dude would love a YETI tumbler. These things are like the Chuck Norris of cups. They can handle any road rage, traffic jam, or parking lot fender bender. Plus, they’re from a trusted brand, and your guy will look awesome with one in his hand. It’s a no-brainer.

3. Cordless Car Vacuum Cleaner
Being a parent is great, but it also means having a car resembling a war zone. Crumbs, dirt, wrappers, you name it. It’s hard to find time to go to the carwash and deal with the hassle of dragging out the shop vac and plugging it in. Wouldn’t it be nice to grab a vacuum and zap away the mess in seconds? Well, now you can with a cordless handheld vacuum. This baby is always charged and ready to go in your garage. No more excuses, no more embarrassment. Just a clean car and a happy dad. Trust me, your kids will thank you later.

4. Grilled Cheese and Panini Maker
If you want to make your man smile, get him a cheese-toasting machine. Trust me, it’s not as cheesy as it sounds. My sandwich grill is the MVP of my kitchen gadgets. Since we started working remotely, we need something to spice up our lunch breaks. PB&J sandwiches just don’t cut it. A grilled cheese maker will keep your guy satisfied and nourished.
Dan Suggests:
Cuisinart Panini Press, Stainless Steel Griddler
If breakfast sandwiches are your thing:
5. TV Remote Holder
This is a personal problem for me. I always lose the remote. It’s like they designed them to be tiny and fit perfectly in the sofa cracks. Enough is enough. Get your guy a TV remote holder. No more wasting time and messing up the cushions.
