30 Tech Gifts For Men

Last updated: 2 months ago

The tricky thing about buying tech for a man who already owns everything he actually wanted is that he probably bought it himself the week it came out. You're not shopping for someone who doesn't care about this stuff — you're shopping for someone who cares about it more than you do, which is an entirely different problem.

That's where a good guide earns its keep. Not by listing the obvious, but by surfacing the things that sit just outside what he's already thought to get himself — useful, considered, the kind of thing he opens and immediately wants to try. That's the sweet spot, and it's closer than it feels.
