Every guy has an arsenal of items they take with them whenever they leave the house – phones, car keys, flip knife, wallet, or sunglasses. Our buying guide offers our picks for the 10 best everyday carry gifts for men. These gifts are well made and come from some of the most respected manufacturers as well as some small boutique businesses. Whatever their style you’ll be sure to find something they’ll love. First up is one of our favorite luxury wallets.
The Louis Vuitton Slender Wallet ($490) is a perfect gift for the guy who likes to add a little luxury to his everyday carry gear. The slender is made from a Damier Cobalt canvas with a cowhide leather lining. It has 8 credit card slots and a bill compartment with a separator. The subtle check pattern will go with any aesthetic.
For everyday carry the Enzo Birk 75 Folding Knife ($155) would be a great addition to anyone’s everyday carry arsenal. It features a wood handle with a stainless steel blade. Makes for a perfect gift.
I know, I know. This gift is a little outrageous. So If you’re looking for something a little cheaper check out our smartphone case buying guide. But if you need to buy a phone case for someone who has everything the Advent for iPhone X ($645) is a nice option. The case come in multiple colors and materials and will stand out in any crowd.
If you’re buying a gift for a music lover you have to take a look at the Audeze LCD-2 Planar Headphones ($950). These are some of the best headphones you can buy for the money. The LCD-2’s are handcrafted and feature a planar magnetic driver. They deliver audiophile sound, with very low distortion. Hear the detail in every note like never before.
Muyshondt prides itself on creating precision torches from the finest materials. They are hand assembled to create some of the most beautiful lights in the world. Their Muyshondt Aeon MK. III Aluminum Penlight ($295) is their least expensive model but still an amazing work of art. It is cut from 7075-T6 Aluminum then lightly bead blasted, and Type III Hardcoat Anodized for an exceptionally beautiful, durable, and functional finish. The Aeon Mk. III Aluminum represents the state of art in its class.
If you’re buying a watch for a watch lover but don’t want to spend a mint the MKII Hawkinge Men’s Watch ($595+) will make the perfect gift. It’s affordable but also has all the goodies you would want and a great everyday watch. Some of these features include a water-resistance rating of 100 meters, a double domed sapphire crystal with an AR coating, hack setting automatic movement with manual winding, and a screw down crown.
We like to support small business and I’m sure you do too. Maxmadco is a small manufacturer run by a machinist. He creates some beautiful pieces. One of my favorites is the Maxmadco Bolt Action Stainless Steel Retractable Pen ($85). It’s machined from stainless steel, including the pocket clip and the Torx screws and feels solid but well balanced, so writing for long periods of time is comfortable. The retractable, spring-loaded mechanism is fast, simple and easily operated with one finger or thumb from either right or left hand. There are no parts to wear out so it will give trouble-free service. The refill is the Itoya, Black 0.7 mm. The pen was designed to have a simple but elegant look. It is quite unique and is suitable for everyone. Proudly made in the USA.
Need a quick and dirty gift for the stylish guy. Get them a pair of Ray Ban Aviator Men’s Sunglasses ($112). Pretty much everyone looks great in Ray-Bans and you can relax knowing the quality and warranty will be on point in case they want to return them.
This is our most affordable gift on our list, but it still comes from a great company with an excellent reputation. The Tanner Goods Key Lanyard ($55) features a secure gated clasp, releasing keys quickly on the fly. The body of the lanyard wraps around a belt and fastens with a simple yet secure custom button stud. It’s available in a stainless or black finish and held in place by durable double-cap rivets. A perfect gift that anyone could use regardless of style or hobbies.
For the guys who are handy and always like to keep a set of tools within reach the Victorinox Swiss Army Spirit Plus Ratchet Multi-tool ($150) is a no-brainer. It has 34 tools that can be used for cutting, crimping, stripping, and much much more. It features one-step access, no clumping, and an easy lock and release button.
So we’ve listed all of our top ten everyday carry gifts above, but I felt this list would be incomplete if we didn’t offer just one more gift idea. If the folks you’re buying for are a little absent minded like me then you have to pick up some Tile Wallet and Key Trackers ($25+). Just clip them on your keys or place them in your wallet, install the app and if you lose your item just activate the find function in the app and they’ll make a sound. There are other functions including community locate and a phone locator. So check their site for more details. I own the Tile and it’s saved me hours of searching over the years.
