Your favorite guy deserves the best birthday gift. Whether you're shopping for your husband, your boyfriend, your brother-in-law, your father, or someone else, you want to get him a gift that shows you truly appreciate him. But there's no denying it can be hard to find a great present, especially if you need a gift for the man who has everything. We've rounded up the best birthday gifts for him, no matter what kind of guy you're shopping for.

After years of birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and more, you might feel like you've used up all your best gift ideas. One way to start is thinking about how he spends his time. For instance, maybe he's a music lover or loves kicking back with a book. Maybe he's happiest when he's firing up the grill or spending time outdoors. We also have Christian gifts for men, sentimental gifts, and food gifts he's sure to love. If you're working with a certain budget, we've highlighted gifts under $20 and gifts under $100. We've also included a few big-ticket items if he's celebrating a milestone year, whether it's his 40th birthday, 50th, or 60th.

Here are the best birthday gift ideas for him in 2023.
