From keepsake-worthy jewelry and accessories to the one-off luxury garments that they'd probably never spend their own paycheck on, these are the gifts that will be remembered and used for many years to come.
To round up some extra-special gift ideas for men, or those who identify as masculine, we searched the internet for the latest and greatest in fashion. We picked out 10 goodies that'll bring much-needed holiday joy.
Scroll for some ideas on the best gifts for men, or anyone, this holiday season.
