The very best gifts for men who don't want anything: Coffee gifts, outdoorsy gifts, cooking gifts and more

Coffee and chocolate are a classic combination, and Tony's Chocolonely is some of the best chocolate you can gift a chocolate or coffee lover — especially if they like a variety of flavors. This pack includes some of the brand's best-selling flavors: milk, dark, nougat, caramel, hazelnut, and almond and sea salt flavors.

Kopiko is an Indonesian coffee candy that's popular among coffee drinkers who want to enjoy the flavor of coffee without the trouble of preparing a cup. It has a distinct combination of actual coffee bean extracts and milk that has made it a popular confectionary around the world. And yes, they do have caffeine — about three or four of the candies has about the same amount of caffeine as a shot of espresso. 

Amazon reviewers give it 4.7-stars. One five-star reviewer has this to say: "I’ve been seeing this brand coffee candy in a lot of K-dramas so wanted to give it try and WOW it is so good now I am hooked into this thing. It’s also very convenient when you don’t have time to make coffee or drink it it’s easy on the go just anywhere. I keep some in my purse and at work." 

They might look silly, but these claw-like leaf scoops are an absolute time saver when it comes to yard work. Just ask one of the nearly 4,000 reviewers on Amazon who describe it as a "great tool" and "worth the purchase." 

The oversized scoopers can be used to grab leaves and other debris quickly and easily, protecting your hands and fingers from dirt, mud and sharp, spiky objects. 

Your cup holder already acts like the mini trash can of the front seat. Make it official with this cup holder trash can.

Sweet and savory snacks are one of the cheapest and most pleasing goodies you can buy to round out a gift for someone. These Wagyu beef steak strips are the elevated cousin to beef jerky.

A tin of almonds probably doesn’t sound like an exciting gift idea, but these aren’t just any almonds. These are spicy dill pickle-flavored almonds — that have nearly 35,000 reviews! They’re perfect for the guy who has a salty, spicy tooth. If dill pickle flavoring isn’t his thing, you can also pick up a tin of Elote Mexican street corn-flavored almonds.

If he already has AirTags, or if you think he'd get the most use out of them keeping tags on his four-legged friends, then these pet collar AirTag holders are a good gift accessory. He can keep tabs on where the cat and dog are at all times by checking the AirTag location in the app on his phone.

What is it about shoestring potato sticks that takes us back to our childhood? Surprise and delight him with a tin of these original Utz Potato Stix. Out of nearly 12,000 reviews, a surprisingly large number of them say that these snacks, while “hard to find,” take them “back to my childhood.”

Sure, you can probably pick up some flaky Maldon sea salt from the grocery store, but this smoked variety can be a bit trickier to find. The salt is gently smoked over oak to give it a robust, thick flavor that reminds one of good American barbeque. While it can be used to punch up pretty much any dish, it’s also delicious, simply sprinkled on a thick slice of sourdough with unsalted melted butter. 

This beard detangler is designed to tame his facial hair. Reviewers say it’s great for “rough beards” and that it “smells great.” It’s made with maracuja oil and shea butter, so you know it’s made to hydrate dry facial hair. (Bonus points if you take a peek at all of the men’s smiling selfies in the review section.)

Because sometimes a cup of coffee isn't enough to tackle those dark circles and under eye bags. This caffeine eye cream from Kiehl's is formulated with caffeine, vitamin B3 and menthol to tackle dark circles and tired, puffy eyes. The caffeine restricts blood vessels to reduce the appearance of puffiness while vitamin B3 rejuvenates the skin. Menthol provides a gentle cooling sensation that helps wake you up.

The best-selling author of The World Atlas Of Coffee spills all in this how-to guide on making barista-level coffee at home. In this book he'll explore all elements to making a good cuppa at home, from the equipment to buy (and skip), how to properly grind coffee, to the basics of brewing.

This skillet can be used anywhere — on the stove, on your grill or even over a campfire. It's the ultimate multi-use tool, whether you're perfectly searing a steak, dry-frying mushrooms or making the best scrambled eggs ever. It comes pre-seasoned, so you don't have to fiddle around oiling it up. It's ready to use right out of the box.

If they don't own a pair of Bombas socks, you're about to change their world. These aren't just any ordinary socks — Bombas socks are especially nice to wear because they’re designed with targeted cushioning and a unique honeycomb arch-support design that’s like a gentle hug for the most tired part of your feet — perfect for the traveler who's on their feet all day.

The key to a smartly packed suitcase? Packing cubes. These compressive packing bags allow you to pack down all of your clothes into easy-to-organize cubes that fit modularly into your suitcase. These ones from Wrangler come in four stylish colors and have a mesh window so you can easily see exactly what's inside.

Upgrade his shower experience with new luxury soap. These ones from centuries-old American brand Caswell-Massey have a richly warm scent of sandalwood, cedarwood and clove for "a deeply spicy sensory experience." They're also designed with a woodgrain look. 

You can take a man out of his favorite city, but you can’t take the city out of the man. Choose urban cities from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. They’re dishwasher safe, too. Cheers to that.

Slippers, PJs and robes are the go-to loungewear gifts for men, but we can’t forget about the MVPs of loungewear: sweatpants. Every guy could use a new pair of sweatpants to replace the old pair he wears on repeat at home. These ComfortSoft ones from Hanes are extremely affordable and have almost 50,000 reviews — it’s a wardrobe staple he’s sure to use.

There are some cleaning problems that just can't seem to be, well, hacked. Like pet fur. Fortunately, the Chom Chom exists. It's a portable pet hair remover and reusable lint roller that's beloved (and we mean absolutely obsessed over) by pet owners. This tiny tool is able to remove cat and dog fur from furniture, bedding, couches, carpet and rugs in just a few quick strokes in a way that not even the best vacuum can tackle.

Once the chamber is full of pet hair, simply empty it out or, as one user recommends, take a vacuum attachment to it to clear it all out easily.

Bachan's barbecue sauces bring the flavors of Japanese yakitori and grilling to your own kitchen. In this three pack you'll get the brand's bestselling flavors: Original, Yuzu, and Hot & Spicy. It's also Amazon's No. 1 bestselling BBQ sauce — just saying. 

"My husband tried this at a restaurant and had to have it," wrote one reviewer. "It is very good. It's not thick like other barbecue sauces are. The honey version I feel is similar to a teriyaki barbecue sauce. The original has a soy sauce Ginger note to it. Both are very good and are now pantry essentials in my household."

Never worry about dropping your phone, keys, wallet, or a stray French fry down between your car seat cushions ever again with the as-seen-on-TV Drop Stop. These seat gap fillers attaches to the seat belt catch via built in slots and provide coverage in front of, surrounding and behind seat belt catch. 

Reviewers say it's simple and smart. "This is one of those products that you can't help but look at and think, 'Why didn't I come up with that?!?'"

Each order comes with two seat belt gaps — one for the driver's side and one for the passenger side. 

You never know what can happen when you're in nature, but with this solar- and hand crank-powered emergency device, you can hunt, fish, hike and camp with more peace of mind. This small waterproof tool packs a bunch of life-saving essentials into it, including a 5000mAH power bank, an emergency radio with AM/FM/NOAA weather radio tuning, a flashlight, an SOS alarm. 

Reviewers also say it's a great tool for weather emergencies like hurricanes and tornadoes.

"During a recent camping trip, its 5000mAh power bank came to the rescue, charging my phone when electricity was miles away," wrote a recent reviewer. "The NOAA weather updates ensured we stayed informed about incoming storms, akin to having a personal meteorologist in the backpack. A handy tip: keep the hand crank rotations steady for optimal charging efficiency."

Whether he's doing midnight feedings or is on bedtime duty, this hands-free tablet stand holder is a useful gadget that'll let him watch his favorite show or read his current page-turner without needing to use both hands. 

Over 14,000 Amazon reviewers have found it useful, too. "I read every night on my iPad as part of my bedtime ritual. Only problem being that I was getting tired of holding the iPad up," said one five-star reviewer. "So I was looking for something to attach to my headboard and hold the iPad for me. The MAGIPEA Tablet Stand Holder thus far has worked perfectly. My hands are now free."

Everything that’s old is new again, as evidenced by the fact that these retro-style Casio watches are on trend once again. They’re a great fit for teens and young adults who are into vintage fashion. Reviewers love the “old school” and “retro look” of this watch, which includes a stainless steel wristband and beige clock face. It includes an LED screen and is water-resistant, too.

Codenames is a classic group board game, but this Codenames: Duet version is great for just two players. It’s a word association game in which you're spies providing each other code words while avoiding enemy assassins. The better you know your game-playing partner, the better you’ll do.

These personalized felted miniature pets are a great gift for the person with a furry friend. Pass along a detailed photo of their four-legged friend, choose a preferred collar color and whether you want the miniature to come in a commemorative basket or jar. 

These days many people reach for modern solutions to insomnia like supplements and special ASMR playlists, but there's a simple old-school solution we recommend: the original Dohm Classic sound machine, which has been helping lull people to sleep since 1962. Rather than playing white noise sounds on a digital loop, this machine makes white noise the old fashioned way: using a real fan. But don't worry — the fan creates white noise without producing chilly air.

Every traveler needs a small portable speaker, ideally one that’s waterproof. This one is small enough to carry with them in their backpack or purse, and includes a handy carabiner attachment.

As a new dad, he might not be the one breastfeeding, but he'll still need a way to keep milk and snacks cool for the little one. This Carhartt cooler bag is made of heavy duty fabric and is stylish enough that nobody might suspect it's full of breast milk and fruit pouches. When he's not on baby duty, it's big enough to store a six-pack for his weekend fishing or hiking trip.

This World Of Coffee sampler from Atlas Coffee Club is a great way to gift fancy coffees to a coffee lover, without the commitment to a subscription plan. This sampler pack includes four of the brand's best single origin coffees.

I received a gift of Atlas Coffee a few years ago and loved being able to try different brews from around the world. As a self-described coffee lover, I found it to be a useful gift and fun gift — one that's sure to get used up in a coffee-drinking household.

Of course, if your giftee ends up loving a brew in particular, they can sign up for an Atlas Coffee Club subscription where they'll receive new and flavorful coffees from around the world each month.

For the person who's always on the go, a power bank can be a lifesaver. Use it to charge phones, tablets, e-readers, headphones and much more. This one by Anker has over 20,000mAh power reserve and provides over four full charges for most smartphones and nearly two full charges for tablets. 

This nifty gadget has two unique uses. It can be used a bit like an old-school headphone splitter, sharing audio between two sets of wireless headphones. It can also be used to Bluetooth connect audio to pretty much any device with a standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. Use it on airplanes to connect AirPods to in-flight entertainment, at gyms and more.

This Champion hoodie is a great addition to loungewear rotation. It's available in dozens of colors and in sizes XS to 4XL big and tall sizes. 

His fragrance journey just got a little more interesting. MALIN+GOETZ's Cannabis Perfume Oil is a great introduction to the brand's heady and lingering aromatics. The brand describes it as "rich + earthy scent that brings to mind lazy afternoons + a lingering smokiness." It includes notes of pepper with citrus and wood. This roll-on fragrance is ideal for the guy who isn't quite sure what scent he wants to commit to just yet — and it's also portable for travel. 

If he’s doing more travel these days, he could probably use a stylish toiletry bag like this Kobby Dopp kit. It’s made of a durable water-resistant silicone so even if something spills it won't seep through ruin his other luggage. It’s ideal for liquids and bathroom toiletries.

Let him discover what the hype's all about when it comes to one of the best-selling facial moisturizers for men. We recommend this product for guys who can’t be fussed to deal with a skin care routine because it’s good for all skin types and textures, including sensitive skin.

Relieve tension and melt away stress with Amazon's No. 1 best-selling foot massager. This deep-kneading shiatsu foot massager has two adjustable intensity levels and three massage modes that boost the blood circulation and reduce muscle stiffness in your soles and feet. The warmth feature can be turned on or off. 

Made of food-safe silicone with a stainless steel interior, this universal frying pan lid from Made In Cookware literally has everything covered — from woks to oversized frying pans up to 12 inches. Use it on nonstick, stainless steel, carbon steel and even cast iron frying pans, just as you would a glass lid. 

The inside of the lid has three rings that fit snugly onto 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch pans to ensure your food stays warm and in the pan — where it belongs. Plus, the lid itself is oven safe up to 400F and doubles a trivet to keep your counters and tabletops safe from scorching-hot pan bottoms.

To clean it, toss it in the dishwasher. It comes with a lifetime guarantee, should anything happen to it. 

Ease stiff joints and aching muscles with this heated back massager that can be used at home, the office or in the car. Choose from two heat settings for back and/or seat, as well as four massage locations including seat, lower back, upper back and neck. Low, medium and high intensities are available with varying massage patterns, from pulsating to kneading. 

"This is very well made and comfortable to use," wrote one shopper. "Helps with the pain. We take it in the car on those long rides." 

You could gift him an Amazon Echo Dot, a Sonos One or another type of smart speaker devices, but sometimes simplicity is best. This vintage-inspired radio from Victrola — one of the leading turntable manufacturers of the early 1900s — is Bluetooth compatible, giving him the best of what’s new and old. Use one dial to switch between Bluetooth, AM or FM, another to tone the bass and treble, and another for volume. If he’s a fan of retro technologies, he’ll especially love the satisfying crackle of using the tuner dial to find his favorite station.

Enjoy a frothy espresso wherever the road takes you with this portable espresso machine from OutIn. The Nano coffee machine heats water to the perfect brewing temperature — 198°F — in less than 200 seconds. The force of 20-bar pressure produces a rich, frothy espresso that's ready to enjoy in under 4 minutes. Best of all, it charges with the same cables as your phone charger!

"I love this little machine and would recommend it to anyone who loves espresso and travel," wrote another reviewer. "The product is compact, looks great, works well, charges with my cellphone charger, and makes great espresso that is nice and hot."

For the coffee lover who really hates when their cuppa goes cold, the Ember temperature-control mug is a no brainer. I'm a long-time owner of the original Ember mug (this is the model No. 2) and I love it because it prevents me from having to heat up my drink over and over when I'm having a leisurely morning. 

In fact, we ranked this as one of our best heated coffee mugs of the year because it's "the self-heating mug that made me fall in love with self-heating mugs," according to our tester Rick Broida. 

The charging base keeps your drink warm to your preferred temperature for up to 80 minutes. It comes with an app where you can set temperature preferences, make presets and more. The charging base also works without an app and remembers your last preference settings.

We tested and reviewed the Nespresso Vertuo and dubbed it our very best affordable espresso machine for those who want to be able to make quick, easy and — most importantly — superior-tasting espresso drinks at home. Not only does it have the ability to make a mug of coffee, but it can brew up espressos and double espressos in seconds. In fact, you can buy pods in six brewing sizes in all types of flavors, recipes and intensities so chances are you'll find something to suit your tastes.

The main difference between the Nespresso Vertuo and the original Nespresso machines is that only the Vertuo can make both regular coffee and espresso shots. Original Nespresso machines only produce shots of espresso. Unfortunately the Vertuo cannot use original Nespresso pods, and vice versa. You can only use Vertuo-specific pods in the Vertuo.

Looking for an e-reader that’s not an Amazon Kindle? Might we introduce you to the Rakuten Kobo. I’ve owned one of these for nearly three years, and it still works as well as it has since the first day I got it. It’s easy to connect to Libby, where you can access your local library’s database of ebooks, and has all of the features you’d expect for an ebook, like adjustable screen brightness, bookmarking, note taking and more. You can even find Kobo-specific cases to protect them, too.

A well-made robe is something he'll use for years. I highly recommend these “super plush” robes from Brooklinen that are made with 100% Turkish cotton and feature deep pockets, cuffed edges and a piped collar. I've owned one for years and it's still still the robe I reach for every morning. I love that it's thick enough to keep you warm on a cold morning, and plush enough to use like a bath towel after a shower, if that's your jam. Best of all, it keeps its fluffy feel even after dozens of washes. 

Does he always empty his pockets as soon as he walks through the front door? This catch-all doubles as a useful wireless charging station and is made in stylish Italian leather. Whether he keeps it on the entryway table, his nightstand or on the dresser, he's sure to put this to use. 

These Birkenstock Clogs can be slipped on or off hands-free and are comfortable enough to wear all day, with or without socks. Plus, they're not all that terrible looking for when you need to step outside for a quick stroll to the mail box or a grocery-shopping errand. After all, practical gifts oftentimes make the best gifts of all.

 These shearing-lined Birkenstocks are the cozy sibling of the cult-beloved Arizona Birkenstocks, making them perfect for wearing around the house on chilly mornings. They're a great pick for guys who need a house shoe that they can also wear to the mailbox and on the back porch. 

The Tidbyt is a retro-futuristic pixel display that’s as fun to use as it is to look at. Use the app to program Tidbyt to display useful info such as the weather, stocks, news, sports scores, time zone maps and even train and bus schedules. It makes a good gift for the tech guy who already owns all of the gadgets and devices he could possibly want. Extremely techy folks can even develop their own apps to display on the Tidbyt, too.

Onyx makes some of the best coffee around, period. This premium coffee Advent calendar is a real treat for someone who loves the full experience of luxury coffee blends every day. In an accordion-style advent calendar, you'll find 24 2-ounce bags of whole-bean coffee, perfectly measured for a 24-ounce brew.
