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.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
