The world of gifts for men is overflowing with options, but in reality, the best presents are often the simplest – and the most useful. The pieces in this edit don’t reinvent the wheel; many are things you’ve probably already had on your mental list. The difference is that every pick here has been road-tested and editor-approved, chosen because he’s likely to reach for it again and again. Think of this as your shortcut to gifts he’ll genuinely appreciate – whether it’s for your dad, partner, brother or that impossible-to-shop-for friend.

Orbitkey, 2-in-1 Tech Pouch (Terracotta), HKD$549
All other tech gifts can take a back seat, because Orbitkey’s 2-in-1 Tech Pouch is the organiser he didn’t know he needed. It splits into a detachable inner kit for his desk, has a fold-down panel for all the tiny bits, an expandable, self-standing body with a collapsible divider, plus an external zip pocket with cable pass-through so he can charge on the go. Made from recycled materials and built for MTR commutes, work trips and late-night laptop sessions – this is the one to wrap if he’s forever untangling cables.
Le Labo, Discovery Eau de Parfum Set (3x5ml), HKD$520
Le Labo is the go-to when it’s impossible to predict which scent he’ll love, and their Discovery Eau de Parfum Set is the gift to beat. Three of the brand’s most-loved scents – Another 13, Santal 33 and Thé Noir 29 – in travel-ready vials let him test-drive woody, spicy and softly sweet notes without committing to a full bottle. Perfect for work days, date nights and trips; he gets a new signature scent, the giver gets zero risk.
UGG, Men’s Tasman LTHR Regen (Ironwood), HKD$1,090
Our editors’ top pick for a gift he’ll actually wear, the leather UGG Tasman upgrades the classic slipper with a premium leather upper that will develop a rich patina over time, ultra-soft UGGplush wool lining, and a cushioned sole for all-day comfort. Equally at home on lazy Sundays, coffee runs or casual office days, it’s an everyday luxury that slots perfectly into his hybrid routine – and one he’s unlikely to take off.
Twelve South, Airfly Pro 2 Deluxe, HKD$544.65
One of the easiest travel wins you can gift him: sort out his in-flight audio once and for all. The AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe plugs into seatback screens, gym machines or hotel treadmills and beams sound straight to any wireless headphones, with dual pairing for shared movies and a USB-C charging case that keeps it going for up to 25 hours. Compatible with AirPods, Bose, Sony and more, it’s a tiny add-on that makes every trip – and every workout – feel smoother.
Drake’s, Fair Isle Lambswool Scarf (Green), HKD$2,650
A cold-weather staple in scarf form: knitted in Scotland from 100% superfine lambswool, this generous wrap delivers cloud-soft warmth without bulk, with a geometric Fair Isle in deep green that feels timeless rather than stuffy. Box it up for the guy who’s always freezing on his commute – he can knot it loose over knits, pair it with a coat, or wrap it tight on night walks and still look put-together.
Therabody, Theragun Mini 3.0, HKD$1,699
For the man who’s forever complaining about tight shoulders or post-leg-day pain, the Theragun Mini 3.0 is a gift that actually solves something. Pocket-sized but powerful, it slips into any bag, delivers three speeds of percussive therapy with interchangeable attachments, runs for up to 180 minutes and even locks for travel. Paired with a Bluetooth app for guided routines, it turns office breaks or post-gym cooldowns into on-the-go relief.
Angels Horn, H019 Hi-Fi Bluetooth Turntable (Walnut Wood), HKD$1,867.47
Of late, all-in-one record players have been getting a second look from design-conscious music lovers, and Angels Horn’s H019 Turntable is the one that keeps coming up as a genuinely good buy. Despite its compact footprint, it packs four hi-fi stereo speakers for surprisingly refined sound, spins both 33⅓ and 45 RPM, and comes with Bluetooth and a built-in phono preamp so he can start listening straight out of the box. For anyone in an apartment or smaller flat, it delivers the warmth of vinyl without the hassle of a full hi-fi setup – a very easy win to wrap.
The Ordinary, The Mini Discovery Set, HKD$244
There are countless starter skincare sets you could wrap up for him, but few are as fuss-free and effective as The Ordinary’s Mini Discovery Set. With travel-sized essentials – from Squalane Cleanser and Glycolic Acid 7% Toner to Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Caffeine Solution and Natural Moisturizing Factors – it lets skincare newbies figure out whether they need more hydration, brightness or oil control, without committing to full sizes. A low-risk, high-reward way to get him into a routine.
Hamilton, Khaki Aviation – Pilot Day Date Auto (42mm), HKD$8,150
When he’s the kind of guy who can quote Interstellar and also cares what’s on his wrist, you want a gift that ticks both boxes. The Hamilton Pilot Day Date Auto pairs aviation lineage with everyday dependability: a 42mm stainless steel case, black dial, automatic movement, day-date display, luminous hands and water resistance to 100m. It also happens to be the exact watch Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) wears in the film, so there’s a knowing nod for film fans built in. Cinematic without shouting about it, it suits office days, weekend hikes and everything in between – and every check of the time is a reminder of who gave it to him.
