46 Gifts for Men Under $50 That They'll Actually Love

You save, he gets a great surprise. Everyone wins.

By Luke Guillory and Elly Leavitt

Let's be honest, gifts for men don't really need to be over $50. Does he want something luxury? Does he want the hottest tech or the best gadgets? Maybe he wants bottle of whiskey or one of Esquire's drinking experts' favorite bottles of alcohol? You know what he should do if that's the case? Get a job! He's a man. Why are we, as men, sending out Amazon wishlists or links to Esquire's editor-picked gifts and favorite products (both great resources). If you want something, grind harder, make some investments or something. Buy it yourself. Everyone else can just get men an inexpensive gift for under $50.

I'm joking, obviously. It's ok to get a man an expensive luxury gift. That said, sometimes you just don't need to spend big on a gift for the man (or men) in your life. If that's your situation, it can feel tough to get something special. You might be at an impasse while searching for a little something that'll really wow him. But don't worry, our gift giving expert editors did all the work for you. Below we've rounded up the 46 best gifts under $50. These things are just as good, just as useful, just as heartwarming as anything you'd spend an entire paycheck on, and they'll make great gifts for the holidays, your man's birthday, or any sort of anniversary.
