I'm going to be straight with you here: No one knows gifting better than our Esquire editors. Gifts for wives, husbands, dads, girlfriends, golf people, outdoors people, and whoever else you've got on your list, we know exactly what every one of them wants. And when it comes to gifts for men, men with above average taste, and men who are tough to shop for, oh baby that's our wheelhouse.
So, we weren't phased when our data-people told us the internet wants to know: What are the 45 best Christmas gifts for anyone on my list? We were pleased to hear everyone is in the holiday spirit, and we gladly rounded up the absolute best gifts to give for Christmas 2023.
