Best birthday gifts for your husband

We know that you want to give your husband the best gift possible for his birthday, and we’re here to help. Is he a gadget enthusiast? Snag him a massage gun or a fancy reading light. Does he have deeply felt opinions about audio quality? Gift him a best-in-class pair of headphones or speakers. Does he love to read? Kindle time. Does he love rest and relaxation? A cozy blanket or kitschy tea infuser will do the trick.

If the man in your life already seems to have everything — or insists that he “doesn’t want anything” — we’ve got you covered with plenty of crowd-pleaser picks, from the romantic to the goofy to the weird (in a good way, of course). Here are our picks for the best birthday gifts for your husband.

For the Coffee Drinker: If he’s particular about his morning coffee, the Ember Mug will make his morning routine much easier: It’ll keep that sweet nectar at his preferred temperature for up to 80 minutes.

For the Tea Drinker: If he’s more of a loose-leaf tea guy, make his morning routine much cuter with a manatee-shaped tea infuser, which is cleverly called a “Manatea.” (There are also sea turtle and axolotl versions.)

Kindle Paperwhite

For the Bookworm: Is he ready to tackle War and Peace (or another hefty tome) this year? Good for him. Save his back — and some space in his backpack — by gifting him a Kindle Paperwhite.

Gritin Rechargeable Book Light

For the Midnight Reader: OK, so he’s staunchly anti-Kindle. No worries: Grab him a rechargeable book light so he can read late into the night without keeping you up.

Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones

For the Audiophile: Bose QuietComfort headphones are known for their excellent audio quality, noise cancellation, and comfort, making them a great pick for regular, everyday use. (We can attest that they’re comfy even for glasses wearers.)

AirPods Max

For the Stylish Audiophile: If your husband is more of an aesthete, you can’t go wrong with a colorful pair of Apple’s AirPods Max — and their audio quality is certainly nothing to sneeze at, either.

KitchenAid Stand Mixer

For the Home Baker: If The Great British Baking Show has him inspired, help him concoct whatever cookies and cakes he desires with a KitchenAid stand mixer. Bonus: You’ll get to help him taste test.

For the Wine Drinker: A handy electric bottle opener will make opening his favorite vintage a breeze. Plus, it makes for a cool party trick when you have people over. Gather ’round the Oster, everyone!

For the Challengers Fan: Jump-start his amateur tennis journey with the gift of a new racket. Maybe grab one for yourself, too, if you want to play together. And for the real Challengers experience, be sure to get in contact with your ex who is also his former best friend.

For the Parkgoer: Make picnics in the park even more enjoyable with this packable, water-resistant blanket. It’s also great for the beach, camping, backpacking — pretty much any outdoor activity that involves lounging.

For the Camper: This durable set of enamelware dishes is great for camping, backpacking, and picnicking. It even comes with a handy carrying case. The dishes themselves are pretty beautiful: That red-speckled pattern is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

For the Outdoorsman: Help him keep his phone charged on the trail with a solar-powered power bank. This one can charge an iPhone 15 to 65 percent in about 30 minutes and doubles as a flashlight.

For the Air Traveler: This gadget is truly a lifesaver for frequent travelers. Plug it into your seat’s headphone jack and you’ll be able to use your Bluetooth headphones for in-flight entertainment.

Pendleton Yakima Camp Wool Throw Blanket

For the Cozy Dude: Particularly for winter birthdays, you can’t go wrong with a cozy blanket. This one from Pendleton also has the benefits of iconic design and extreme warmth — it’s a blanket, but it’s also a piece of art.

ZIMASILK Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

For the Beauty Sleeper: Silk pillowcases tend to be gentler on the hair and skin than cotton, so they’re great gifts for haircare and skincare enthusiasts. However, they also just feel amazing to sleep on — that’s a good enough reason in and of itself.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

For the Beauty Buff: Laneige’s leave-on lip mask is famed for its overnight hydration and nourishment. If he’s a skincare enthusiast, he’ll appreciate the luxury — and the cute little spatula included for application.

Hatch Restore 2 Alarm Clock

For the Sleep Tracker: Does he check his Apple Watch’s sleep app first thing in the morning? A Hatch alarm clock can help boost those numbers: It features a database of nature sounds, white noise, an “alarm” that works with his circadian rhythm, and more.

Cuisinart Cast-Iron Burger Press

For the Grillmaster: If he loves to grill, help him create the ideal smashburger with this cast-iron burger press. The crispy, lacy edges will be off the charts — and, once again, you’ll get to help taste-test.
