24 Gifts For Every Hard-To-Shop-For Guy On Your List

Tis officially the season for gift-giving. For us, that's a full month in which we'll be providing gift ideas for everyone on your list with our Unwrapped holiday gift guides. So make your holiday shopping a breeze this season, and let us help you find gifts for all the people in your life.

If the men in your life are typically the last people you shop for come the holidays, you're not alone. Whether it's because they are picky about what they want, or claim they never want anything, or are even borderline-undeserving of you braving the crowds in search of a perfect gift, there's always some reason they're the ones we're scrambling to find presents for in the dwindling days before Christmas.

With that in mind, this year, we started our search early, keeping in mind every hard-to-shop-for male, whether it's a foodie dad, a sci-fi-obsessed brother, or an outdoorsy new significant other.

Ahead, 24 picks that will allow you to get your shopping done in a single sitting, so you can get back to actually enjoyable gift-giving for the fuss-free ladies in your life.
