Even if you're an A+ gift giver, you have to admit: shopping for the men in your life—be it your dad, brother, bestie, or significant other—can be a challenge. 

It's not that they won't like whatever you wrap up—they're pretty consistently grateful with a smile and "thank you"—but it feels rare to really impress. Not to mention there are only so many times you can wrap up a new putter or polo. Lucky (for you!) we have plenty of fresh inspo that will make your holiday shopping so much easier this year. 

Whether your boyfriend's obsessed with cooking or your dad's in need of a closet refresh, we've rounded up the absolute best gifts for men—starting at just $15. Think: a cast iron pan that will heat your pizza crust to perfection, a two-in-one gym bag-slash-travel duffel, and a watch roll for his beloved pieces. 

Keep scrolling to shop our 10 faves—which soon will be his faves too.
