Stuck picking out the perfect gift for a man you know? Allow me to help! If you want to find a holiday gift that men would appreciate, you’re in the right place for top 2016 men’s Christmas gifts. Today, Theresa’s Reviews is featuring some of the hottest, most useful, and most exciting gifts in the annual holiday gift guide. From nostalgic video game gear to the tastiest food baskets, this year’s guide has something for everyone.
2016 Theresa’s Reviews Holiday Gift Guide for Men
After doing some research on top men’s gifts this year, I added a few of my top suggestions for several categories. Shop the links to make purchases he’ll appreciate. From electronics to food to experiences, here’s what to get him.
Games
For men and children alike, the hard-to-find NES Classic Edition has a fun appeal that has put it at the top of everyone’s Christmas list. As soon as the NES Classic Edition was released, it sold out quickly, but stores restock it in small quantities throughout the holiday season. It comes with 30 games that include Super Mario Bros., PAC-MAN, and more. Gamers will appreciate the gaming system that started their love of gaming.
This item tops the list of items on my shopping wish list this year. Since it’s in such high demand, it will have to wait until after Christmas. An “I Owe You” coupon in the stocking might have to work instead.
NES Classic Edition, $59.99
Electronics
Men love updating their electronics. Some ideas include buying a new computer, surround sound system, or television. For a more moderately priced gift, check out the Crasher XL Splashproof Bluetooth speakers from JLab Audio. From the beach to the pool, they can go anywhere. Having splashproof electronics is ideal for the adventurous type who is always having a good time. Whether you want to amplify your music at the ocean or make answering your phone more simple by the poolside, the speakers are both practical and fun.
JLab Audio Crasher XL Splashproof Bluetooth Speakers, $99.99
Tools
Household tools are a practical gift idea. For the sensible guy who takes his house projects seriously, the new Black and Decker Drill SMARTECH 20V Max Lithium Cordless Drill/Driver comes with modern features. When I gave my husband his choice of any Black and Decker product, he gravitated towards the drill. You can always use an extra drill or upgrade your old one. One of the most unique features is that it has a built-in LED light. For the early adopter, the drill comes with an accompanying app that helps you manage the battery life.
SMARTTECH 20V Max Lithium Cordless Drill/Driver, 69.99
Outdoor Cooking Gear
This past summer, my family started cooking with the Weber Spirit E-310 Grill that Lowe’s Home Improvement gave our family, and we have enjoyed using it ever since. Because the grill come equipped with three burners, it has plenty of room to cook food for anyone in the neighborhood who happens to drop by your home. Not only does the food come out delicious, but there is also plenty of space to put the food on the fixed side shelves. This is the ideal gift for someone who doesn’t have a grill or wants to upgrade the one he has.
Weber Spirit E-310 Grill, $499
Indulgent Gift Ideas
If you want an indulgent experience, buy a gift card from Cloud 9 Living. Although we used our gift card to relax as a couple at the luxurious Spa at Turf Valley, you can choose from a range of unique and exciting experiences. For the adventure seeker, choose from zip lining experiences, flying a helicopter, and being front seat for a NASCAR drive. You can also go on food tours, cruises, and city tours. To make the gift a practical choice, men can easily exchange their experience for one they prefer more.

Inspired by my incredibly exciting, recent adventure to New York City, the New Patsy’s Golden Gift Basket comes from a restaurant that is so highly regarded that Frank Sinatra is one of many celebrities who have dined there. With this extravagant food basket, you get everything a foodie would love. From specialty pasta noodles to the delectable Patsy’s sauce, the basket has all the ingredients you need to cook a classic pasta dish, but there’s more. You also get delicious Cantuccini (Italian almond cookies),Oli Ola Artichoke Hearts, Urban Oven Crackers, Colavita Basil Pesto, Patsy’s Balsamic Vinegar, and Di Iorio “sinfully” fantastic dark chocolate.
New Patsy’s Golden Gift Basket, $185
Fashionable Gifts
For a fashionable, eco-friendly gift idea, Shade Tree Sunglasses are polarized to help keep your eyes healthy in the sun. With the Socrates Dark Painted Walnut Wayfarer style, you get a pair of dark sunglasses that are not only nice looking, but also help our country cut back on petroleum-based plastics. Made from hand-finished Red Rosewood and partially painted black walnut, the sunglasses have a traditional style, while adding a subtle carved design near the temple.
Socrates Dark Painted Walnut Wayfarer Shade Tree Sunglasses, $79.95
Health-Conscious Gifts
If you want gifts that encourage healthy living, I have several suggestions. First, for a man who is watching his diet in the new year, check out the Snackers Celebration Snack Tray from Verona’s Gift Baskets. I gave this gift basket to my dad on his birthday, and he loved it. In the basket, you get smokehouse almonds, honey roasted peanuts, cocoa dusted almonds, pistachios, cashews, and more. When snacking on nuts makes up for skipping desserts, this gift basket is ideal.
Verona’s Snackers Celebration Snack Tray, $59.99
For the fitness fanatic, the Withings Body Cardio Scale provides all your health stats with a simple app. In the app, you can instantly track your weight over multiple weigh-ins to help you notice trends. Every morning when you wake up, you can also use the scale to check the weather outside so you dress appropriately. In addition to the weight measurements, you can learn about your BMI, body fat, water percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, and even your heart health. If you are shopping for a man who loves working out and tracking his fitness, this is a great pick.

I received a free item, but it in no way influenced my opinion.
I want to get the nes for hubby! And me!
I secretly want that Nintendo for myself! Brings back memories! I love a good men’s gift guide – my husband has a December birthday too.
You can never go wrong giving your guy a grill! Thanks for the helpful guide! 🙂
We have been thinking of buying a grill for quite a long time – that from Weber looks good! Thank you for your ideas!
I still haven’t gotten anything for my husband yet!!! NOW I FINALLY have an idea… he has been talking about needing tools forever now!! Thank you! Thank you!!
These are wonderful gift ideas! Guys can be so difficult to buy for but you have given great ideas. My hubby needs a drill so I may get him one!
Games and electronics are always a sure win if given to my husband; well as long as they are new releases.
love a good mens gift guide! thank you. And seriously, there is a newer nintendo but looks like the old one…LOVE IT
I want the nes classic so bad for my husband but they are so hard to find right now. I am going into game stop everyday!! Sigh
Really great Picks. Covered every man here I think! I’d love to even try the splash proof water speaker myself, such a good idea!
Interesting choices! I wouldn’t mind any of those either. I particularly liked the large gift basket. It puts others to shame!
Great gift round up. My husband would love any of these ideas. I think that the NES or the grill would be his top picks. He loves the classic nes and he needs a new grill!
I honestly cant believe that NES Classic edition is so popular! I kinda dont get it – why so much buzz about it? But, could be a lot of fun and definitely a great gift for a guy!
My husband already purchased his own Christmas gift. LOL I’m cool with it…one last thing for me to do!
All these are great ideas! My husband usually picks out his own presents haha but then so do I!
Thank you for the suggestions. Men can be so hard to buy for unless they ask for something specific.
Such a great holiday guide! This year I got a new watch for my hubby as well as a movie and a blu-ray player. Normally I get him a book from his favorite author but he hasn’t put out any new books lately.
YES! I totally needed these gift ideas. I’m struggling on what to buy my man this year. Thanks for suggesting the NES Classic edition.
My hubby would be all over that Classic Nintendo, I wonder in fact, if he has his old one?! Great gift guide!
I never go wrong with getting my husband a brand new video game. I wish I could get him more manly outdoor stuff, but we live in an apartment complex and we don’t have a yard or a porch.
These are great gift ideas. I would love any of these and I’m not a man. Keep them coming!
These are some awesome ideas. My dad isn’t into electronics, but I know he’d love that cordless drill! I’ll definitely keep it in mind when I’m shopping this year.
I am looking for one of those NES systems!!!! What a great list!!
That NES classic edition is on my list for a few guys. It’s also on my own personal list of things I want!
The NES is on hubs list too! He has every system ever made I don’t know why he wants this, guess for the nostalgia. Lol. Great list!
I need to look for that classic Nintendo system! My hubby would just love getting that for Christmas!
Great gift guide. My husband wants that vintage Nintendo in the worst way. I wouldn’t mind as I used to play with my brothers when we were little. I also love the grill. We need a new one pretty badly. Thanks for the list.
Great ideas! My husband is super pick!
These are all great ideas! My husband would love all of these haha.
These are awesome gift ideas!

Men are so hard to buy for so I’m so grateful that you shared this list! My husband is going to be spoily this year 🙂

So many awesome gift ideas!!! My hubby wants one of those nitendos super bad!!!
Wah been trying to get my hands on that Nintendo!
My hubby would LOVE that grill! LOL, he’s still making due with a basic charcoal mini….
The splash-proof speakers are such a great idea!! Of course, we need a new grill too. So many great choices! Thanks for the ideas!
Those are some great choices! I still don’t know what I am going to get the hubby. I think he would love that NES!
That NES is hard to come by right now so I plan to get hubby one as an anniversary gift in March
These are great gift ideas. I feel like I always get my husband something with tool. grilling or clothing. This year he wants socks and underwear. LOL
There are definitely some things on here that the hubs would want. I think he would be especially fond of the gas grill.
THANK YOU for posting this!! I have been needing some serious help shopping for my husband and my dad!!
That snackers tray is on point! Love all your pics!
I had no idea that there was a version of Nintendo classic available! That is so super cool! I think if I bought it “for the sir” it may be used by *cough cough* someone other than him *cough cough*:)
I can’t believe they released another Nintendo! I have so many memories playing that with my brother growing up! I would love to give that to my husband! Not to mention play it myself!
Men are SO HARD TO SHOP FOR! Thank you for these fab ideas. I really love the grill 🙂

That body cardio scale looks pretty cool, my husband would love that.
Health conscious gift – Now I hadn’t thought of that!
Thanks for this. enjoyed the read.

This is such a helpful list. I feel like it’s so difficult to buy gifts for my dad and boyfriend! That celebration snack tray is such a good idea. I also love that drill! Thanks for the great ideas 🙂
Tools and electronics are definitely always on my guys list. This is a great help!
I had no idea the NES was so popular. My husband would probably love it too, so we’ll wait until after Christmas…maybe for his birthday. Men are always the hardest to shop for, so thank you for all the suggestions.
I LOVE the smartech black n decker drill. We recently got it and its really amazing.
Great ideas! Bookmarking for later!
