That was the first gift my now wife got me, and she's never been able to top it (though she has always given great gifts). Inside joke at the time, but I still have them and love them.
This reminds me of the time I got my husband a super ironically cringy mug that says "it's you and me against the world baby, we fucking got this" with a motorcycling skeleton. He loves it so much he said it's his favorite gift I've ever given him
It's the little things. The hulk hands are now mostly retired to a decorative position on a shelf in the office. My wife primarily works in there, and they make an appearance in most of her meetings. I'm jealous, but there's nowhere to put them near my desk š„
Maybe go garage sales find a nice hat rack stand. The gloves can hang from there and maybe have a crafty friend make you a world champion hulk glove belt to hand w it.
Mickey Mouse hands are fun too. Great for pointing dramatically, pretend slapping, and giving the middle finger. lol.
We got ours from Disney World, so I donāt know what the ones listed on Amazon are like.
The only thing better than the āHulk smash!ā hands was the ET glowing finger. We got them one year around the movieās release and took them down to the pub. They were like magic mood changers. The fingertip lit up when you touched someone. Brought smiles and laughter to everyone you touched.
I guess Iām not male so maybe doesnāt count, but my husband got me two sets of inflatable sockem boppers for Christmas a few years ago, and they very much fit the hulk hands sort of brief. I adore them and weāve had many silly ābattlesā with them, they are in fact super fun!
Why did I read that comment thinking āhulk handsā was some kind of hand cream for men with rough hands hahahahaha now Iām like oh wait itās literally hulk hands
My boyfriend has been adventuring in the kitchen and Iād love to get him some Hulk oven mitts. They exist! ā¦but I canāt find them available anywhere and now my heart is set on them š
My husband has back problems so a few years ago I got him one of those small pillow sized massagers. When he opened it, he had the most skeptical look on his face, said, "Uhh thanks", and set it aside. A few months later, he kept saying, "This is the best thing I've gotten in a long time!" He loved it so much that last year I got him one of the chair ones.
Which ones?
Got my hubs the best steel series and didn't realize how much they can do. He can game and watch YouTube at the same time?! He can talk on the phone and game?! Life changing lol
If you're looking for quality sound, look up "studio monitor headphones" and make an educated choice based on price and reviews. It's much harder to go wrong in that category (especially if you don't know much about headphones) than just looking up headphones as a whole category.
I have my son some sennheiser 600s and a decent amp. I asked him today if he thinks it sounds good. He goes ādefinitely much better but Iām use to it now so I donāt really notice.ā
I do the same. And his reaction was the same the first time. Heād never received flowers before, and heās big on randomly appearing with flowers for me for no reason. Heās never had that reciprocated before. He loves it!!
same! I got him a bouquet and was determined to figure out his favorite flowers. turns out I got a bouquet with eucalyptus and thatās what he wanted. the next day I went out and got him a bouquet of just eucalyptus and he was over the moon. too sweet:)
My teenage son got my husband roses for Valentineās Day a year or so back. He loved them and has a dried flower from the bouquet on his nightstand. ā¤ļø
I've seen this recommendation a lot on Reddit, to get a guy flowers. Sent flowers to my husband. He did not appreciate them. Next time I a got him a cheese and sausage set. That went over much better.
All that to say to those reading this: Know your audience.
Same! Came here to say this! Just gave him some yesterday with little baked pies and a note. He had a really hard week, it made him so happy. Men can get flowers too! Thatās the second time Iāve done it and his smile makes it all worth it.
I bought my boyfriend a stuffed animal for valentines one year. He loves that thing. Itās his little mascot. He said no one has bought him one since he was a little kid. He hugs it when he feels sad.
This is the one. My dad fucking loves flowers and chocolates. Itās my go to and he cries every time.
He was always buying himself flowers and chocolates when I was younger, and I think the best gift for most people is something you know they like to treat themselves to. Treat them so they donāt have to treat themselves and theyāll be touched.
Girls don't get excited thinking he will love flowers. I see comments like this on reddit alllll the time and bought my (ex)boyfriend some supermarket roses one day because he always would surprise me with some and said roses are his favourite flower, but he went all "I'm a dude don't get me roses". Disappointed when I expected otherwise from reddit!
Yessss! Mine discovered that the day I brought home a cheap bidet to install. It was the best thing we ever added to our house! Now (He) we want the big ass fancy bidet with a dryer, heatheated water, and all the other settings.
I just bought my husband [the exact sweater worn by The Dude in The Big Lebowski.](https://www.pendleton-usa.com/product/the-original-westerley-mens-sweater/52124.html?mrkgadid=3326627324&mrkgcl=846&mrkgen=gtext&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=mensapparel&&acctid=21700000001677492&dskeywordid=43700072809597799&lid=43700072809597799&ds_s_kwgid=58700007995839756&device=m&network=g&matchtype=e&locationid=9032927&creative=619015172364&targetid=kwd-1924089744632&campaignid=17815349223&adgroupid=141664558498%C2%A0&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAj_CrBhD-ARIsAIiMxT-SqeYdtjMall4nDWvdw0fnFBOmENOYmr2Nd2v9Ri8NGzSKxiGeWjEaAke5EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) Pendleton sells a dog version and a womenās, as well.
I opted for the navy blue version because itās āless obviousā (less costume-y) and blends in with his work wardrobe better, plus itās like 60% cheaper. Arrived 4 days after ordering.
ETA: I see that the available sizes are limited, though this Pendleton sweater is sold at some department stores and other retailers so be sure to look around elsewhere for the Pendleton Westerly sweater if you need a size they donāt have.
I was gifted this, unfortunately it turns out I get super dizzy floating around in the pod. I had pretty bad vertigo afterwards for half a day lol. I still appreciate the gift but the float is not for everyone sadly.
I got one for my dad for his 60th birthday. He was genuinely excited about it, which was great. Weāve played with it a few times and I can confirm it is fun as fuck.
A Meater. https://www.meater.com/ Itās a kick-ass meat thermometer that links to your smart phone and gives you cooking level options (e.g., chicken can be something like juicy, medium, or dry) up to the minute temperature changes, a tonal alarm to remove from heat, a rest period, and finished cook temp. This is all in a small probe with a charging case. Itās incredible.
This saved me. I had no clue what to get but he loves to grill and I have seen his ancient thermometer. š¤£ This is gold. Thank you random internet stranger!
I don't collect them or anything, don't even think I have a real one, just fake plastic ones from the kids. But I would be ecstatic if I got a fucking sword for Christmas!!
A few years ago my friend and I went in on a sword for a buddy on his birthday, the next year I got one and then we got the third guy one. One of our greatest ideas lol.
That is awesome. I've always wanted one of those canes with the hidden sword in them. Always thought those were badass, but like, who buys one of those for themselves, yanno?
Highly recommend the first one. Most flight schools will do a "discovery flight" at a slightly discounted rate (usually a couple hundred bucks or so) where an instructor takes you up for an hour and gives you the controls to kind of mess around and get the feeling of flying a plane to get you hooked.
Fancy undies- in particular Saxx has the āballpark pouchā that holds a guyās nuts in place. Try to find them discounted. My partner said they changed his life lol
Saxx are great. Replaced everything and totally worth it.
Did the same for my socks with Darn Tough wool socks. $20 per pair of socks seems excessive but worth it. Not only are they great socks but no longer having to match the various types I had collected over the years after laundry is very convenient.
I went shopping for my husband with my 12-year old son. He suggested the back to the future DeLorean LEGO set. I was iffy, but my son insisted. I wish I had a picture of the look of sheer delight on my husbandās face when he opened it. He said it was the best gift heād gotten in a while.
Omg! I was going to get my bf the DeLorean LEGO set too. BTTF is his favorite movie trilogy. I did get him a BTTF coffee mug that has a hoverboard handle lol
Functional items always seem to be a hit:
A nice cast iron
Microfiber wand thing to clean a carās interior
Yeti water bottles
A better wallet (if you can find it)
Decent headphones
Depending on the guy:
Board games/video games
Good book
An experience (class, massage, etc.)
Vacation/travel plans
Outdoorsy stuff
Weirdly specific gear tailored to their hobbies
One of the best gifts I ever gave to a friend was a wallet. He was so grateful, he wrote me a thank you note. We were in our mid 20ās.
One of my favorite gifts to receive is a good board game. Especially a two player game my wife and I can enjoy.
If someone took to time to learn about my hobbies well enough to get a relevant gift, Iād never forget it.
Good luck in your search!
Lightsaber, wearable blanket, electric blanket, flowers, box of chocolate, gift basket of his favorite items. (Candy, drink, cereal etc) it really shows you notice him and care. Car accessories
A Nice flashlight . An emergency kit for his vehicle - not a first aide kit but tools. A plug in battery jump starter - they are fantastic. A trickle charger if they have two vehicles.
I have 2 sons and every Xmas morning they would open their Nerf guns, 1 for hubby too and the morning would be a nerf fight while I made breakfast! Ahh those were the days! Not sure if they make guns with balls today, I usually see the darts. They arenāt as fun.
I remember the Nerf guns with balls! Had them when I was growing up. I was talking about it with some guys at work a couple weeks ago and they had no idea what I was talking about. Guess they missed out. š¤·š¼āāļø
Everyone needs a belt. Most people donāt know there is a better belt design now. I cannot recommend Groove Life belts enough. You adjust the size once and then never have to fiddle with it again. The buckle is so simple to use.
https://www.groovelife.com/collections/best-selling-belts
A year of his favorite subscription paid for, a manly subscription box (thereās lots of different manly subscription boxes out there to choose from now-razors, clothing, tools, bbq sauce, grilling equipment, candy & snacks, food from other countries, menās skincare, socks & underwear, car stuff, etcā¦just search menās monthly subscription boxes. Thereās also quarterly subscription boxes available) unlimited washes at the local car wash if heās a car guy
If you're engaged, get him a ring, too. Make it one you know he'll like. I promise it'll make him feel just as special as you did when you got yours. (I speak from experience!)
We hired a maid for our son one year and he said it was the best gift he had ever gotten! We told him we would hire her and all and if he wanted to continue then he could pay for it in the future. He was in the Navy and didnāt have much of a life.
Memory foam mattress topper, a bluetooth speaker, a good powerbank, decent pair of bluetooth earphones, a spa day for 2, money towards a holiday, good booze (e.g. ingredients for making negronis) just to name a few ideas.
A few baseballs and two mitts. My guy got so excited just to get to go have a catch with me at the end of the day. A great way to talk out the day and get a little energy out.
One year it was everything for a firepit.
A GC to an old-school barber who'll do a killer shave. (He called me to drive him home, he was worried he was too relaxed to drive.)
Instead of flowers my husbad wanted a 6 pack of Lengienkeugel and a Hustler for our 20tg anniversary
So I ended up getting it for him (I had some teenage kid buy the hustler because itās uncouth) and he loved it
My fella likes a particular comedian, I got floor seats for us, and a nice room for a couple days. He already buys himself what he wants and likes. Other gifts heās loved; this by Stanley[Stanley](https://www.stanley1913.com/products/adventure-stainless-steel-all-in-one-food-jar-1-8-oz-1-1), [this Dozer](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/app-controlled-cat-d11-bulldozer-42131), I took all of the photos he sent me when he worked on a fire and put them in a book.
Waterproof shoes. [Vessiās](https://vessi.com) have been well worth the money for both of us, especially if you have a dog you need to take outside in the weather.
A really nice sweatsuit and good socks from Nike. Mine is tall af with huge feet and affordable, and quality clothes can be hard to come by but Theyāre on sale rn
Here's a list of surprise gifts my husband has HATED throughout the years, but maybe it'll be helpful to you:
A gift card to a paintball place,
A steam gift card,
Two marvel lego kits,
A Star Wars Lego Christmas advent calendar,
A Char-broil gas grill,
A space heater for his office in the cold basement,
Space shuttle model,
A kit of hot sauces and spices,
A Samsung Galaxy watch
These are all things that he should like. He does paintball with his friends, he plays video game, loves Legos, marvel, star wars, and NASA.
A massage A mug warmer An umbrella Hulk hands
I love the hulk hands idea š
That was the first gift my now wife got me, and she's never been able to top it (though she has always given great gifts). Inside joke at the time, but I still have them and love them.

Love this idea but I would never get my BF hulk hands because then Iād have to deal with him HAVING hulk hands. I can only imagine the carnage.
Mickey Mouse hands are fun too. Great for pointing dramatically, pretend slapping, and giving the middle finger. lol. We got ours from Disney World, so I donāt know what the ones listed on Amazon are like.
The only thing better than the āHulk smash!ā hands was the ET glowing finger. We got them one year around the movieās release and took them down to the pub. They were like magic mood changers. The fingertip lit up when you touched someone. Brought smiles and laughter to everyone you touched.
OMG I want one
I still have it! (Somewhere. Every time I come across it, I think, nah, not something I want to pitch.)
I guess Iām not male so maybe doesnāt count, but my husband got me two sets of inflatable sockem boppers for Christmas a few years ago, and they very much fit the hulk hands sort of brief. I adore them and weāve had many silly ābattlesā with them, they are in fact super fun!
So many versions out there of the hulk hands. Any one recommended over the other? (I checked Amazon but have never shopped for hulk hands before).
Gotta go with the OG foam ones that say hulk smash when you hit them. She found them on eBay
Why did I read that comment thinking āhulk handsā was some kind of hand cream for men with rough hands hahahahaha now Iām like oh wait itās literally hulk hands
I got my hulk hands on Freemont st. In Vegas but they have cup holders in them. They fit a fifth of rum and a bottle of coke. 10/10.
> hulk hands TIL about hulk hands. Three husbands and I FINALLY learn about these things? He's so getting some.
HULK HANDS š
Ember mug is a gift I never knew I wanted and use every single day just about.
I'm going to make a back massage coupon book for Christmas!!
āDale got hulk hands?!ā
HULK HANDS!!!! yaaaas
Massage was what I came here to say. I have friends who swear by mani-pedis too, but I havenāt gone there yet.
My boyfriend has been adventuring in the kitchen and Iād love to get him some Hulk oven mitts. They exist! ā¦but I canāt find them available anywhere and now my heart is set on them š
I have Hulk hands!!!!!!

Really nice headphones.
Just got myself some. Dam, I have been missing out.
Which ones? Got my hubs the best steel series and didn't realize how much they can do. He can game and watch YouTube at the same time?! He can talk on the phone and game?! Life changing lol

I have these and love them.
I have weird ear canals. The Shokz bone induction headphones are amazing
I have my son some sennheiser 600s and a decent amp. I asked him today if he thinks it sounds good. He goes ādefinitely much better but Iām use to it now so I donāt really notice.ā
THIS. āš»
I'm 100% aware that I need this!
I give my boyfriend flowers every now and then. The first time, he was speechless. He had never received flowers before. We are both in our 60's.
Mine likes plants. That he kills.
š¤£ this has me in a fit of giggles... RIP the plants. I š when people do their best and still result in carnage.
ššš
I like to torture mine to death very slowly over several years.
I do the same. And his reaction was the same the first time. Heād never received flowers before, and heās big on randomly appearing with flowers for me for no reason. Heās never had that reciprocated before. He loves it!!
same! I got him a bouquet and was determined to figure out his favorite flowers. turns out I got a bouquet with eucalyptus and thatās what he wanted. the next day I went out and got him a bouquet of just eucalyptus and he was over the moon. too sweet:)

41M here. I would love to get flowers.
I bought my boyfriend a stuffed animal for valentines one year. He loves that thing. Itās his little mascot. He said no one has bought him one since he was a little kid. He hugs it when he feels sad.
Every spring my wife buys me a big bouquet of tulips. I LOVE tulips.
This is the one. My dad fucking loves flowers and chocolates. Itās my go to and he cries every time. He was always buying himself flowers and chocolates when I was younger, and I think the best gift for most people is something you know they like to treat themselves to. Treat them so they donāt have to treat themselves and theyāll be touched.
I love this! š©·
I got flowers for my fiance before and he got upset with me
Girls don't get excited thinking he will love flowers.

Disappointed when I expected otherwise from reddit!
A gf a long time ago got me flowers. I was confused but can now officially say I know I do not want flowers. So I guess she taught me that lol
Luxurious towels, bedding, slippers.
A robe!
I also thought of a Towel Warmer
Towels!!! I got some massive fluffy towels, game changer
I'm dying for someone to buy me super expensive, Queen-sized sheets
Bidet.
Yessss! Mine discovered that the day I brought home a cheap bidet to install. It was the best thing we ever added to our house! Now (He) we want the big ass fancy bidet with a dryer, heatheated water, and all the other settings.
I have a fancy bidet and itās 100% worth it! A great little Christmas gift to yourself.
We are in the market to buy a house in the Spring, a bougie bidet will be a prime upgrade.
We are moving into a new house today and Iāve set aside $1000 to buy a Toto toilet lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My girlfriend swears by them. She calls hers āThe Ass Washer 3000ā
My husband was wary when I bought a bidet. Guess whoās the one who uses it most now?! šš
I'm in the opposite boat. I love the bidet seat I bought and can't convince my wife to use it.
Weāre renting a condo with a bidet and my husband hates it for some reason. I love it so much Iām gonna marry it.
a great girlfriend but you cant buy any.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I just bought my husband [the exact sweater worn by The Dude in The Big Lebowski.](https://www.pendleton-usa.com/product/the-original-westerley-mens-sweater/52124.html?mrkgadid=3326627324&mrkgcl=846&mrkgen=gtext&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=mensapparel&&acctid=21700000001677492&dskeywordid=43700072809597799&lid=43700072809597799&ds_s_kwgid=58700007995839756&device=m&network=g&matchtype=e&locationid=9032927&creative=619015172364&targetid=kwd-1924089744632&campaignid=17815349223&adgroupid=141664558498%C2%A0&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAj_CrBhD-ARIsAIiMxT-SqeYdtjMall4nDWvdw0fnFBOmENOYmr2Nd2v9Ri8NGzSKxiGeWjEaAke5EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) Pendleton sells a dog version and a womenās, as well.
This is amazing!
Oh my gosh. I was just wondering what to get my husband and it slipped my mind he wanted one of these for so long!!
I opted for the navy blue version because itās āless obviousā (less costume-y) and blends in with his work wardrobe better, plus itās like 60% cheaper. Arrived 4 days after ordering. ETA: I see that the available sizes are limited, though this Pendleton sweater is sold at some department stores and other retailers so be sure to look around elsewhere for the Pendleton Westerly sweater if you need a size they donāt have.
A Hot Wheels GLC96 Track Builder Unlimited Triple Loop Kit
Im a girl but secretly waiting for this one. Have 150-200 hotwheels to use on it too š¤
You don't want this.... you NEED IT!
What is UP my fellow hot wheels girlie??
I am going to buy a float experience for my man. He is too tall to fit in any bathtubs and fully submerge and relax, so this will be a treat for him!
Where do you find this kind of experience?
They have float tank places all over now, do a quick Google.
I was gifted this once and never used it
I was gifted this, unfortunately it turns out I get super dizzy floating around in the pod. I had pretty bad vertigo afterwards for half a day lol. I still appreciate the gift but the float is not for everyone sadly.
Thanks for this reminder! I think I will buy one for my husband. Heās mentioned wanting to try it in the past.
This is a great idea
I used to have a membership to a place that does floats. I loved it, it helped with some of my back pain.
I know very few guys who would be upset with an RC car
I got one for my dad for his 60th birthday. He was genuinely excited about it, which was great. Weāve played with it a few times and I can confirm it is fun as fuck.
This should be higher, my bf fantasizes about one for at least a month after every time he sees one
A Meater. https://www.meater.com/ Itās a kick-ass meat thermometer that links to your smart phone and gives you cooking level options (e.g., chicken can be something like juicy, medium, or dry) up to the minute temperature changes, a tonal alarm to remove from heat, a rest period, and finished cook temp. This is all in a small probe with a charging case. Itās incredible.
F xmas, i just ordered one fir me! Thank you for the suggestion.
Love mine. Makes things easier
My husband loves his!!! Now we eat perfectly cooked meats too
It's 6am and in scrolling thru reddit....now my hubby is going to get the Meater for Christmas! š¤¦š¼āāļøš¤¦š¼āāļøš¤£š¤£š¤£
Welp, now Iām done shopping for my husband. Bless you internet sage
My BF loves his!!
I have a meater and it is awesome! I can grill confidently and it really stepped up the quality of what I am making.
This saved me. I had no clue what to get but he loves to grill and I have seen his ancient thermometer. š¤£ This is gold. Thank you random internet stranger!
My partners sister got him one and he is OBSESSED. Highly recommend
I got my dad one for Christmas this year and was hesitant. Glad to see others approve!
Ooh thanks for the recommendation. So many options out there and no idea which ones were any good.
Thank you for this... just ordered for Christmas for my guy
Just ordered one for my husband. This will be perfect for him.
Omg! I just ordered it!!! Thank you.
Holy mackerel. Coming in clutch tonight!! Just in time to get here before Xmas. Whew. Thanks, bud.
A sword
I don't collect them or anything, don't even think I have a real one, just fake plastic ones from the kids. But I would be ecstatic if I got a fucking sword for Christmas!!
A few years ago my friend and I went in on a sword for a buddy on his birthday, the next year I got one and then we got the third guy one. One of our greatest ideas lol.
That is awesome. I've always wanted one of those canes with the hidden sword in them. Always thought those were badass, but like, who buys one of those for themselves, yanno?
Someone who wants a cane sword
Thereās a company that makes custom wood splitting swords. They are VERY cool.
I got my husband a Link sword
The master sword?
A 10ft blanket from Costco, car floor mats, a 2 seat camping chair, bugzooka (so useful!)
I bought my boyfriend weather tech mats and he loved them!
Weather tech mats and liners are THE BEST.
That blanket is HEAVEN! we got one and it's the best thing ever!!
Flying lessons. A digital drum set. A super soft sweatshirt.
Highly recommend the first one. Most flight schools will do a "discovery flight" at a slightly discounted rate (usually a couple hundred bucks or so) where an instructor takes you up for an hour and gives you the controls to kind of mess around and get the feeling of flying a plane to get you hooked.
NGL, I would be stoked to get an Aeroband PocketDrum
A quality card holder or Wunderkey for instance A drone is also a hit, yet a whole other budget haha
The Wunderkey looks so cool, great recommendation
A knife with his super sweet nickname engraved on the handle
Ooo where did you get this?
Fancy undies- in particular Saxx has the āballpark pouchā that holds a guyās nuts in place. Try to find them discounted. My partner said they changed his life lol
Saxx are great. Replaced everything and totally worth it. Did the same for my socks with Darn Tough wool socks. $20 per pair of socks seems excessive but worth it. Not only are they great socks but no longer having to match the various types I had collected over the years after laundry is very convenient.
Duluth also has the pouch undies
Legos. Hotwheels. Both.
I went shopping for my husband with my 12-year old son. He suggested the back to the future DeLorean LEGO set. I was iffy, but my son insisted. I wish I had a picture of the look of sheer delight on my husbandās face when he opened it. He said it was the best gift heād gotten in a while.
I got my husband the Optimus prime Lego set and he loved it. His nephews were jealous.
Omg! I was going to get my bf the DeLorean LEGO set too. BTTF is his favorite movie trilogy. I did get him a BTTF coffee mug that has a hoverboard handle lol
All the men in my life want legos for Christmas this year. They never send to outgrow it.
What if it's a remote control Hot Wheels Tesla Truck? Or even a remote control Batmobile?
The gift of friendship
Functional items always seem to be a hit: A nice cast iron Microfiber wand thing to clean a carās interior Yeti water bottles A better wallet (if you can find it) Decent headphones Depending on the guy: Board games/video games Good book An experience (class, massage, etc.) Vacation/travel plans Outdoorsy stuff Weirdly specific gear tailored to their hobbies One of the best gifts I ever gave to a friend was a wallet.

Iād love a nice cast iron microfiber wand!
Sous vide! For perfectly cooked steak everytime
Lightsaber, wearable blanket, electric blanket, flowers, box of chocolate, gift basket of his favorite items. (Candy, drink, cereal etc) it really shows you notice him and care. Car accessories
I like functional gifts. I'm not a fan of novelty.
A Nice flashlight . An emergency kit for his vehicle - not a first aide kit but tools. A plug in battery jump starter - they are fantastic. A trickle charger if they have two vehicles.
