How We Made Our Decision

First-hand Testing

I’ve noted the products where I, or my co-workers, have personally tested and recommended a product. We intend for every recommendation that comes from us to have a personal stamp of approval - and it should be something we would highly recommend to our friends and family. In this roundup, we included the Leatherman Mini Tool, Vans, minimalist wallet, and a handful of tech gadgets that we’ve had personal experience with (and gifted) in the past.

Functionality

We love a unique dust collector like anyone else, but we know that the men in our life tend to value practicality. Many of these gifts are designed with purpose, and some of these options were suggested by male colleagues who raved about the gifts they’ve received from loved ones in the past.

Price

We included a variety of price points of every budget, from small knickknacks to gifts that might be considered more of an investment.

Reviews

If a product has few (or no) verified reviewers, or the complaints outweigh the purpose and price of the product, we won’t feature it in our lists.
