If you’ve reached a point in your gift-giving journey for the guy in your life where you feel as if you’ve purchased every cologne, dopp kit or piece of sports memorabilia, it's time to shake things up. To help, we tapped stylists, fitness pros and other tastemakers for their best suggestions for what to find gifts for guys who truly seem to have everything. From the cocktail gadget that will level-up his drinks to the ultimate undershirts, these are presents you can purchase with confidence—no gift receipt required.
$150 at Nordstrom
$160 at Sunspel
Sure, he has polo shirts, but if he doesn't have this one from Sunspel, he's in for a treat. This cotton-mesh shirt from the British luxury brand founded in 1860 boasts a wide-weave fabric (which the brand refers to as its Q75 Cotton Warp Knit) that is 100% cotton and offers superior breathability while keeping its shape. He’ll wear it once and become a convert, whether he's sporting it for activities or just lounging around. Available in many colors; we like Port, Space Blue and Pastel Blue.
$15 at Fly by Jing
Give your favorite heatseeker some Sichuan-style chili sauce from the popular small-batch purveyor Fly by Jing. If he loves it as hot as it gets, go with the Xtra Spicy Chili Crisp, which combines what the company calls one of the hottest Chinese chilis on the market with that distinct numbing sensation that comes from Sichuan peppercorns.
$29 at Amazon
Even if he's already carefully curated his dream closet, he could still use a pack of what the Mr. Davis brand boasts is "the world's best undershirt." Consider Chicago-based personal shopper and image consultant Jennifer Lund, who owns A Sharp Dressed Man, among those convinced. "I love the bamboo viscose and spandex fabric, which makes it soft and comfortable because of the stretch," she says, noting that it's long enough to stay tucked in too. While both the V-neck and crew come in black, white and gray, she prefers the beige shade because it doesn't show under a white shirt.
$280 at Amazon
$299 at Huckberry
A game that was a lark as a kid takes on a new, fun intensity now that he's paying more attention to the real-estate market. The Monopoly Luxury Collection is far from the flimsy board you remember. This edition has a wood cabinet with metal plaques, die-cast metal houses and hotels, gold-foil stamping and money-holding drawers. The recessed, faux-leather rolling area keeps dice from escaping.
$298 at Bonobos
Like the little black dress of menswear, this casual blazer made of knit cotton will take him from the office to date night. "It looks great with jeans or a pair of 5-pocket pants," notes Lund, "and it's really comfortable due to the flexibility of a knit versus a woven fabric." Lund also loves that it comes in three fits—slim, standard and athletic—so it works for most body types.

He may be proud of his home bar, but sometimes even cocktail connoisseurs need a break from preparing drinks. Enter the Black & Decker Bev Cocktail Maker Machine. Buy Side's favorite automatic cocktail maker works with pre-measured pods and his favorite spirits to dispense cocktails at the push of a button. So whether it's one preprandial Manhattan or different drinks for everyone at a party, he can serve them up with little effort.
$150 at Amazon
$150 at Breville
Here's an unexpected gift "for anyone who enjoys experimenting with kitchen toys and flavors," says Hard Rock Hotel New York executive chef Oscar Gonzalez, who raves about this hand-held gadget. It allows amateur chefs to add layers of natural, cold smoky flavor to food and drinks (meats, vegetables, Old-Fashioneds and more) in minutes "without the mess and hassle of a huge industrial smoker," he says. Plus, it's portable and cool looking.

OK, he may already own a pair of slippers, but people are allowed to have more than one pair and these slippers bring style and comfort in a superior way with cushy EVA soles and pebbled leather uppers. One of the style experts in our guide to men's slippers likened it to slipper James Bond would wear while staying in a glamorous Swiss chalet.
$800 at Victrola
A great record collection can be a point of pride. But isn't it even better if he can listen to that vinyl on high-quality speakers throughout the house? Victrola's Stream Carbon Works with Sonos Turntable allows for just that: It's the first record player with built-in Sonos support. After a simple setup process, it's ready to broadcast music to any combination of Sonos speakers your recipient already has, with playback control from the smartphone app. For more great gadget ideas, check out our roundup of the top gifts for your favorite techie.

The beauty of this weighted throw blanket is that it doesn't immediately shout "weighted blanket" so it's suitable for a chic living room. That lack of bulky appearance, along with its machine washability are reasons we named it "best throw-style" in our ranking of weighted blanket. It has a unique bead and quilting construction that makes it feel more like a thin comforter, while offering enough cozy pressure to help him relax at the end of a long day.
$160 at Grid Studio
If he's a big Apple guy, it's likely he upgrades his iPhone every year and trades in the old one. Help him celebrate his favorite models of years past with one of Grid Studio's torn-down, mounted and framed handsets, including the Grid 5, which highlights the iPhone 5. Each is made from an actual used device.

If he can still recite the Boy Scout pledge from memory, he’ll appreciate this portable backup battery, especially the next time he loses power. "What's nice about it is that it doesn't use gasoline, so you can use it in the house," says innovation and technology expert Steve Greenberg, host of the YouTube gadget game show "What the Heck Is That?" And whether he plugs it in, connects it to his car or uses the accompanying solar panels, it keeps the charge for a year, Greenberg says, and enables him to keep his iPhone and air conditioning on for up to seven days.

Save him that morning run to the juice shop. With the touch of a button, this rechargeable, 18-ounce gadget whips up smoothies, iced coffee and other tasty blends in roughly 10 seconds. And because it's the size of a water bottle, says Greenberg, "it can go anywhere—throw it in a backpack and have that smoothie when you go bike riding or walking around or at the gym."
$150 at Amazon
Hey, Alexa, can you play my favorite bedtime wind-down music, set several different alarms and tell me tomorrow's weather? With Amazon's voice-activated assistant built in, this bedside appliance does just that. But Greenberg's favorite feature is the lineup of six USB ports in the rear. "I’ve seen other devices with USB ports in the back, but then you have to run the wire along the side or over the top," he says. "This one was smart enough to create a little gap at the bottom, just enough so the wires fit through—I have six things charging every single night."
$60 at Amazon
Who doesn't love a good party game? Klask, which plays like a tabletop version of foosball combined with air hockey, is the perfect game to pull out at home or bring to a brewery—each player tries to knock the ball into their opponent's goal without getting the magnetic "biscuits" stuck to them. It takes seconds to learn and entails some skill, but there's also an element of chance that keeps it interesting. He’ll be planning tournaments after the first game.
$169 at Nordstrom
A classic for a reason, this comfortable button-down made of ultra-stretch cotton is the sort of item you can't have too many of, says Lund, and therefore a foolproof present. Thanks to a mercerized, double-knit fabric designed to dry quickly and provide a consistent body temperature, it's also "more breathable" than a polyester-spandex blend, she says, and wrinkle-resistant enough to travel well.
$329 at Therabody

There's a reason everyone from Chris Hemsworth to the guy in the locker room at the gym has been raving about this muscle-soothing device, which makes an endlessly useful gift. The vibration and force of percussive therapy can aid recovery, explains certified personal trainer Luke Milton, founder of TrainingMate in Los Angeles, who relies on his to relieve tight iliotibial bands and warm up his glutes and hamstrings before a workout. The "worthy investment" is a hit with his clients as well, helping to not only warm them up before workouts but also "alleviate the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness."
$150 at Amazon
Clorox wipes are so 2020. Your favorite germ fighter can now rid his home of bacteria using this UVC light sanitizer. Developed by a team of medical professionals, the device attaches to any smartphone and emits a mercury-free, LED UVC light that destroys the bacteria that lingers on your keyboard, door handles and other high-touch surfaces. Using the brand's app, says Greenberg, "you can actually see what is being disinfected in real time and receive a notification when the object is 99.9 % sanitized."
$150 at Bloomingdale's
Now that we’ve brought back the fanny pack (sorry, waist bag), Lund would like to make a push for the adult backpack. Tumi's nylon version is a crowd-pleaser present for its sleek design and ability to travel well, she says. At just 4.5 inches deep, it still has pockets for a laptop, phone, pens and other essentials, plus it comes with a strap that fits over a handle on a rolling bag.

When Kat Hantas, the San Francisco-based co-founder of 21 Seeds Tequila, wants to raise the bar of a friend's liquor collection, she reaches for this botanical-infused gin. With hints of juniper, cardamom and dried orange peel, it's a beautifully versatile and mixable spirit, Hantas says. Give it on its own or as part of a kit with glasses; either way, a portion of proceeds from each sale benefits Bahamian nonprofit The Exuma Foundation.
$85 at Hedley & Bennett
$98 at Search & Rescue Denim Co.
We can't promise a professional-caliber smock from Hedley & Bennett or Search & Rescue Denim Co. will make his aperitifs taste smoother, but the S&R one Charles Joly, James Beard Award-winning bartender and co-founder of Crafthouse Cocktails, was gifted years ago remains a favorite. Available in what he calls "a dizzying array of fabrics," including leather, vinyl, canvas and a poly-cotton blend—with options to customize everything from the color of the embroidery to the hardware to the pocket placement—"each is handmade in Vancouver with superb attention to detail," notes Joly. Even better, the jean material "came ready-to-wear with no awkward break-in period, plus a custom liner."
