Non-Generic Gift Ideas for All of the Men on Your Holiday Shopping List
Gift ideas for all the males on your list that ~aren’t~ likely to get returned or re-gifted. …
Whether it’s your dad, distant uncle who you haven’t seen in a decade, or a new S.O. you’ve only been seeing for a couple of months, I personally that regardless of the relationship you have with the giftee in question, that males are far trickier to shop for when it comes to finding the perfect (or even suitable one, at that) gift compared to females. Sure, you can opt for one of the guy-gifting gold standards like a pricey bottle of hard alcohol, a warm pair of socks, or the latest Apple accessory, but these options are a bit generic, and there’s a good chance someone else will have already gifted him with the same exact thing.
Of course, you don’t always want to get too particular either—trying to do the guesswork to figure out what type of video game he’s into at the moment or, god forbid, what size of slacks he’s currently wearing is also a bit of a gamble. Sure, most retailers offer generous return windows and discreet gift receipts these days, but the goal is to avoid that scenario in the first place, right? Obviously, gift cards and gifts you can send online are a safe bet but, come on, they’re boring and can often times read as unthoughtful—which is never the goal with gift-giving in my humble opinion. Fortunately, if you’re at a loss this year with what to get that certain male in your life—even if it’s your socially-awkward boss—we’ve rounded up a few solid options that will surely earn his seal of approval this holiday season.

Allbirds Wool Loungers
Apparently, Allbirds are the coveted footwear brand of 2020. Everyone from my men’s lifestyle editor friend to my uncle have both invested in a pair of these cozy slip-on’s for themselves, so if the male on your list hasn’t gotten on board, help him out with this foolproof holiday gift.
MasterClass Online Courses
From cooking lessons with Gordon Ramsey to film 101 with David Lynch, Masterclass’s impressive roster of online classes taught by industry pros gives the wishy-washy giftee of yours plenty of unique options.

Shave Well Anti-Fog Shower Mirror
Okay, I know this seems random, but a lot of men shave in the shower and it’s hard to see with a regular mirror. I’ve given this exact model to my stepdad, dad, grandfather, and ex-boyfriend and all of them have reported back that it’s been a game-changer for their morning routine.
Buy: Shower Shaving Mirror $12.99

Raekwon Unveils “The Emperor’s New Clothes” With All-Star Lineup
Raekwon, a legendary rapper known for his role in the Wu-Tang Clan, has just announced his long-awaited eighth studio album, titled “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” set to be released through Mass Appeal. Although no singles have been shared yet, the album is already creating a buzz and is highly anticipated this summer. It’s been seven years since Raekwon last released a solo album, and this new project feels more like a grand return than just another release.
He’s teamed up with a mix of familiar faces from the Wu-Tang Clan and some fresh talent in hip-hop. Listeners can look forward to clever lyrics and captivating stories filled with raw emotion. Raekwon has invited his Wu-Tang brothers Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Inspectah Deck to feature on the album, ensuring a classic blend that fans love. He’s also brought in well-respected artists outside of the Wu-Tang family, like Nas and members of the Griselda collective, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, and Conway The Machine, who are known for their gritty style.
Adding to the variety, singers Stacy Barthe and Marsha Ambrosius will provide soulful vocals to complement Raekwon’s hard-hitting verses. The album’s production features talented names like Swizz Beatz, Nottz, J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, Frank G, and Roadsart, promising a rich, cinematic sound that matches Raekwon’s lyrical skills. Even with such an impressive lineup, there’s still a sense of mystery around the album. There have been no early songs or previews released, just the announcement itself, which builds even more expectation.
But for Raekwon, this is part of his journey. He has always delivered powerful lyrics and relatable street stories without much introduction. The title, The Emperor’s New Clothes, suggests a fresh start and a daring vision that might challenge the current state of rap. With his experienced flow and storytelling still sharp, Raekwon seems prepared to reestablish his place among the top artists in hip-hop.

Wendy Williams Makes Stylish Splash At Columbia Supporting Her Designer
In a delightful surprise for fans and fashion enthusiasts, Wendy Williams made a rare appearance at Columbia University on Tuesday, and everyone couldn’t help but notice her. The former talk show host was in high spirits as she showed up to support her longtime friend and fashion designer, Mel Maxi. Wendy looked fantastic in a stylish black-and-white outfit that included a Yankee hat and her trademark flair.
Designed by Maxi himself, her outfit was not just chic but also had a personal touch that highlighted her vibrant personality. In a heartwarming moment recorded on video, Wendy told Maxi, “This is amazing! This was specifically designed for me… this is really hand done.” Wendy came to cheer on Maxi, who was set to give a lecture about fashion design at the prestigious university. Her appearance was a meaningful moment between two creative friends who have supported each other for years. Wendy’s presence emphasized the importance of friendship and collaboration in the creative world.
As she walked by, a nearby fan shouted their love for Wendy, and she instinctively responded with her signature warmth and enthusiasm: “Thank you!” she exclaimed with a big smile. After being away from the spotlight for months, Wendy’s visit was a refreshing change for fans who have missed her lively spirit. There were no fancy events or flashing cameras, just Wendy enjoying the moment, supporting a friend, and reminding us all of the significance of showing up for the people we care about.
