Jaybird makes some of the most trusted wireless headphones, and we think its Vista earbuds are the best version yet.

Fully charged, he'll have six hours of audio play and, with the case, an additional 10 hours.

50 years of iconic photos and articles from "Rolling Stone"
50 Years of Rolling Stone: The Music, Politics and People that Changed Our Culture, $41.29

If he's into music, this coffee table book from "Rolling Stone" is a good candidate for something he'll love to own but would probably never buy for himself. It distills the last 50 years of music journalism and cultural criticism into one volume with plenty of pictures from the 1960s to now.

A weighted blanket for better sleep

A weighted blanket for better sleep
YnM Weighted Blanket, $64.90

YnM's weighted blanket is an affordable loophole in a relatively pricey category, and it's one of the more breathable versions out there. The idea is that weighted blankets create more restful sleep and can help decrease anxiety by creating the sort of comforting pressure used when swaddling babies or in thunder jackets for dogs. Pick up one that's about 10% of his body weight. You can find a full review here.

Lavish shaving cream

Lavish shaving cream
The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream Sandalwood, $23.72

Sometimes personal upkeep is the only ritual we have that's just about us, and a little upgrade to daily grooming can make an outsized impact. The Art of Shaving makes a luxurious cream that softens the beard for a close, comfortable shave that protects the skin from razor burn. Even if he wouldn't buy it for himself, he'll probably like using this.

Say it with food. Maybe also pick up tacos.

Great soaps that support active-duty military members and veterans

Great soaps that support active-duty military members and veterans
Duke Cannon "Great American Frontier" Men's Big Brick of Soap Set, $26.42

Duke Cannon makes military-inspired grooming products that go beyond gimmicky. We actually really like using them, and the company supports active-duty military members and veterans by donating 5% of its net profits to causes that benefit them. In the past, that's included K9s for Warriors and Fisher House. While we stand by the products and the mission, the branding can be pretty heavily macho and a little off-putting for some. If that's not on-brand for your boyfriend, skip it.

Sleek and functional leather touchscreen gloves will let him use devices in the bitter cold. Plus, this pair has touchscreen tech in all ten fingers and palm rather than a couple of fingers on each hand.

A powerful portable phone charger
Jackery Portable Charger, $32.99

It may not be the most surprising gift, but it's definitely one of the most convenient and useful. If he's always leaving the house with a half-dead phone or has the sort of long days that outlast a single charge, this will keep him with backup on commutes or travel. We ranked this one the best portable charger iPhone users can buy.
