by Audie Metcalf
Everything is dark and moody because boys are tough and like coffee and hot sauce and rugged outdoorsy stuff like wearable tech!
Ok, but like, they do. So we’re giving them what they want.
Let’s begin.
MORE OF OUR 2022 GIFT GUIDES
Apple Watch Ultra GPS + Cellular
Because every single guy we know who already owns one says it’s the best gift they’ve gotten, so we’ll take them at their word.
Truff Hot Sauce Set
Any human on earth who likes hot things and also likes to cook will flip for this set of truffle-infused hot sauce that’s taking Instagram by storm.
Off-White Industrial Belt Slides
Yeah they’re steep, but if you really love him, you’ll help him casually and gracefully graduate from his Adidas.
The Light Phone
A lovely news-free, social media-free option if his phone addiction is ruining your marriage. Aka every marriage.
Buck Mason Slub Curved Hem V-Neck Tee
The most flattering v-neck t-shirt that exists. You should throw out all of his pit-stained, ill-fitting shirts right now and replace them with these.
THE CANDIDLY 2022 GIFT GUIDES
Wavelength The Board Game
A strange and fun “telepathic” game where you all try to guess what the other team is thinking and therefore is entirely subjective, but which, when your spouse fails, you can punish and shame him for not being able to read your mind better.
Kinder's Seasoning Rub 3 Flavor Variety Pack
Guys like to grill! Ok, but they do. And this set is SO GOOD. The buttery steakhouse? Just like the name implies. Which is the only flavor we ever want in our mouths.
Blue Bottle Coffee Subscription
He likes coffee. Get him this coffee. Even coffee snobs like this coffee.
Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser
This will entertain him for hours while you binge Love Is Blind and compare all the worst guys to your spouse in a panic.
M Clip Aluminum-Inlay Stainless Steel Money Clip
This is actually quite chic. But it’s also minimal and gadgety “for him.”
AllBirds Men's Wool Lounger Woven
Yes. Another shoe. Most men’s shoes are goddamn hideous. But these are cute. And they “wick” away stink.
Lumen Metabolism Tracker
This device is pretty ingenious. You blow into it after you eat to track exactly how your body is storing and using carbohydrates and fat. Particularly ingenious for anyone who wants to learn about insulin.

Bose Sport Open Earbuds
These brilliant AirPods allow some noise to trickle through so he can safely hear cars whiz by him as he listens to the dulcet tones of Marc Maron.
