Christmas shopping season is underway, but if you’re like us, you’ve probably been procrastinating on checking items off your to-buy list. There are so many shiny new toys (read: mostly tech) on Amazon that it’s hard to choose what to spend your hard-earned money on. That’s what we’re here for. We took the time to sift through all the excellent offerings on the world’s biggest online retailer, to find the stuff that dudes like you really want to receive this year, and to package it all nicely in this holiday gift guide.
Whether you’re buying up stuff for a family member, friend, or (most likely) yourself, these gifts will surprise and delight the recipient. All you have to do is put ‘em in your cart, wrap ‘em up, and watch the magic unfold on Christmas Day. How’s it feel to be the best Santa ever?
