Everyone wins. Let's be honest, gifts for men don't really need to be over $50. Does he want something luxury? Does he want the hottest tech or the best gadgets? Maybe he wants bottle of whiskey or one of Esquire's drinking experts' favorite bottles of alcohol? You know what he should do if that's the case? Get a job! He's a man. Why are we, as men, sending out Amazon wishlists or links to Esquire's editor-picked gifts and favorite products (both great resources). If you want something, grind harder, make some investments or something. Buy it yourself. Everyone else can just get men an inexpensive gift for under $50. I'm joking, obviously. It's ok to get a man an expensive luxury gift. That said, sometimes you just don't need to spend big on a gift for the man (or men) in your life. If that's your situation, it can feel tough to get something special. You might be at an impasse while searching for a little something that'll really wow him. But don't worry, our gift giving expert editors did all the work for you. Below we've rounded up the 46 best gifts under $50. These things are just as good, just as useful, just as heartwarming as anything you'd spend an entire paycheck on, and they'll make great gifts for the holidays, your man's birthday, or any sort of anniversary. A discreet one-hitter will be a magical addition to any stoner's arsenal. Re-up his underwear drawer. The perfect vessel for his morning cup of joe. It's the best water of all time, full stop. We love the entire Whiskey Peaks lineup, but the Grand Canyon glasses have a certain Western je ne sais quoi. He needs something to carry all his toiletries and skincare gear. Designer socks always make a great little luxury gift. How have I never seen a lunchbox with a water bottle holder before today? Not the sexiest gift, but our favorite electric toothbrush is a damn good gift. Any Frank Ocean fans out there? Perfect for the guy that tends the vibes no matter where you are. Pop one of these in his suitcase and he'll never have to worry about lost luggage again. The ultimate Instagrammable olive oil, for your foodie friend who's perennially online. If his lunches are more three-course meal, less sandwich and chips. $50 at Wrangler A dressier, fashion-forward take on the pair of jeans every man should own. A style accessory he's always wanted to try, but could never justify. Give him the push he needs to soar. This is another grooming awards winner. It's the spa experience, bottled in the form of a super light lotion. Few things are as enjoyable as a disposable camera. More men should carry a beautiful pen. Pros: Super convenient for all his essentials, great for hikes, days around town, etc. Cons: Kinda makes you look like a dude at Coachella.
