Hobby gifts
If the men in your life have a niche and specific hobby, try giving them tools and products that will aid their hobbies. This is an excellent choice for gifts as they will be passionate about their hobbies, therefore they will love anything to do with their hobbies!
If you know someone who is a DIY master and classes that as their hobby, then a new toolbox could be appreciated. Try finding out what tools they already have, and which tools could do with replacing. You could even get them a tool they don’t have yet that will make their hobby that much easier.

Fitness gifts
Do you know a man who enjoys keeping fit and loves the gym? If yes, then some new fitness gear, for when they can’t make it to the gym or to use in between gym sessions, can be an ideal gift. If they have a home gym, look at what gear they already have and what they may be missing to complete the gym. If something is missing, such as a treadmill or something simple like weights, then that could be the best gift idea to give them as they will appreciate it and use it a lot.
You could also gift them resistance bands, a fitness tracker (such as a Fitbit), new fitness clothes and even trainers to work out in! For something unique for fitness enthusiasts, you could purchase a subscription to a fitness app, gym, or online class for them too.
