Thanksgiving is over and the holidays are coming up fast! Have you figured out what you are getting the guys in your life yet? Buying for men is super tricky. No two guys are the same. However, we find that if you can identify his general interests, it’s easier to suggest some gift ideas. So, we came back with our man archetypes from last year so you can easily pick which type(s) your guys most align with and pick from our top gifts in that category.

Note: purchases made through this site provide our team a commission to help keep What is a Gentleman up and running.

Dapper Dan

Gifts for the guy you know who is always one of the best-dressed men in the room. This is your friend or relative that habitually looks really good at weddings, and always makes you think "man he just looks good all the time!" These are also for the guy who pays attention to detail when he dresses, making sure everything is just right.

Fitness Fred

Gifts for the guy who is always in the gym, or just trying to lose a few. Fred is the crossfitter, the gym rat, but he is also the guy trying to tighten the belt. Setting "Fred" up for success with the right gear can be the motivation he needs to get him started and/or reinvigorate his habit.

Hygiene Hank

Presents for the man in your life who is serious about his skin. Signs that the guy on your list is a Harry include: Never has dry skin on his face or arms, has clear facial skin, owns facial moisturizing masks, is always putting on chapstick when the temp goes below 55. OR he is the opposite of this and is desperately in need!

Casual Carl

Clothes for the guy who likes to feel comfy, and look good doing it. Carl isn't into suits, or anything tight, but still likes to dress to impress. He typically likes whiskey, warm drinks, and goes with the flow. Get your Carl something he will be sure to like; some warm, comfy clothes for the winter.

Sportsman Sam

We all have one on our list, the guy who is all about their sports teams. Sammy is a die-hard that yells at the TV, lays out jerseys on the couch while the game is on for better “juju,” and only drinks the Bud light cans with their team on them. Sam needs some new gear, so get him something you know he’ll love.

Drink-maker Derrick

Whether its alcoholic, caffeinated, or virgin, these gifts are perfect for the refreshment connoisseur. We aren't calling a Dave a lush, but he is the resident drink maker at your gatherings. He's always trying a new combo of ingredients in his cocktails, has coffee beans from some city 200 miles away, and decides to try some elaborate cocktail, or make an artisan pour over in the middle of a party when a simple bud light, or k-up will do.
