Finding the perfect gift is never an easy task, so we asked men in the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what they ~actually~ want for the holidays. Here are the must-have results at every price point.
Note: Not all submissions are from Community users.
While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are especially tricky this year and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!

A pair of Jambys from Jambys, which are truly the softest pair of underwear (with pockets!!!) that you’ll ever have the privilege of wearing.
Jambys, @Jambys / instagram.com
I was gifted some Jambys a while back, and now they’re all I wear when I’m at home (I’m literally wearing them right now). I truly can’t express how soft and breathable they are, and having pockets is a complete game-changer. Like, you’re probably reading this and thinking, “Yeah, okay. Shut up, Spencer,” but I promise you they’re worth it. I also gave a pair to one of my buddies, and he praised them as well, so just trust us on this one.
Get a pair from Jambys for $35 (available in several colors and in XS–XXL).

A personalized leather toiletry bag from Etsy, because everyone deserves a stylish and convenient container for grooming supplies (that ~isn’t~ a plastic baggie).
Etsy
The truth is that men have a lot of random grooming products, so this is perfect for overnight travel or to keep stuffed in your gym bag. Each carrying case looks way more expensive than it actually is, and you can even get it monogrammed with your initials or name. Hey, it’s a best-seller on Etsy for a reason.
Get it from JungleGiftsStore on Etsy for $22.87+ (available in seven colors).

A fitted sweatshirt from Tact & Stone, which will quickly become your go-to piece of clothing for extreme comfiness around the house.
Tact and Stone
I’ve had this sweatshirt for over a year, and it’s still one of my favorite pieces of clothing. I’ve truly worn it half the time I’ve been in quarantine these last nine months because it’s that comfy. The fit also makes me look more put together instead of like a lumpy mess (even if I may feel like one). And, as a bonus, the company is super environmentally friendly, so the hoodie is 100% recycled.
Get it from Tact & Stone for $78 (available in grey and black and in S–XL).

A container of protein powder from Promix, which will help you hit any type of fitness goal you have in quarantine and beyond.
Promix / instagram.com, instagram.com
I’ve tried a lot of protein powder over the years, but Promix has been my favorite. I used it when I first started bulking up (over time I gained about 20 pounds of body/muscle mass) and have consistently used it to keep up with my fitness journey. The raw chocolate flavor is honestly so good on its own that I usually just mix it with water instead of milk or in shakes/smoothies. Everything is grass-fed and gluten-free, so it’s especially good if you have dietary restrictions.
Get a one-pound container from Promix for $19.99 or a five-pound container for $79.99 (available in five flavors).

A warm and stylish sherpa jean jacket from Madewell, along with some fitted jeans in any color to match.
Madewell
Madewell has a pretty impressive collection of denim, and you can’t go wrong with some black or light blue skinny jeans (you know, the kind of fit that’s not too tight on your body but also doesn’t sag or look frumpy). Their sherpa jean jacket will also keep you extra warm, is super durable, and just looks really nice, tbh. A win-win.

An ARENA mobile smart gym, which provides resistance training of up to 200 pounds, takes up less space than a yoga mat, and will give you a better at-home workout than a personal trainer ever could.
@ARENA / instagram.com, @ARENA / instagram.com
To be honest, I think ARENA is going to revolutionize fitness, especially in the time of COVID, quarantining, and closed gyms. It’s basically a lightweight smart gym that lets you do every exercise you’d ever need (deadlifts, squats, curls, etc.), all from the comfort of your own home. It comes with multiple attachments and provides resistance of up to 200 pounds, which you can control via an app. The app also comes with hundreds of exercises and workouts, so you’ll never need to buy expensive personal training sessions or gym memberships again.
Get it from ARENA for $1,500.

A pair of stylish, high-quality shorts from Olivers, which are absolutely perfect for working out, lounging around, or just running errands.
Olivers
There’s a reason why these are called “All Over Shorts” – they’re truly great for all-purpose, everyday use. To be honest, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better pair of shorts that keeps its quality and comfort after consistent use. They’re also available in different lengths, which is great because I typically go for shorter styles and have a harder time finding ones that fit my preference.

A pair of Cloudflow shoes from On, which are extremely lightweight, fully-cushioned, and great for all types of fitness levels and activities.
These shoes are specifically designed for running, but after reading hundreds of reviews online I’ve seen people praise them for general workout activities (and even just walking) as well. They’re apparently so comfortable that you don’t even have to go through that whole “breaking them in” phase, which is a huge plus.
