Hi, lovelies! Emma here and let me tell you… picking out a gift for guys isn’t always the easiest task. I have gotten pretty great at gift-giving for Andrew (if I do say so myself), but that’s after years of practice. Finding unique gift ideas for men isn’t always easy, but today gift-giving is a no-brainer thanks to our list!

If you’re shopping for any men in your life — fiance, boyfriend, dad, brother, brother-in-law, colleague, friend — for the holidays or as a thank you gift for your wedding, we’re here to help. We’ve identified thirty of the best gifts for him UNDER $30 — and we bet he won’t already own any of these fantastic gifts.

To help you narrow down the best gift ideas for him, we’ve compiled this list of gift ideas for men that you’ll be totally excited to buy because they fit three seriously specific criteria: 1) They’re unique, so he doesn’t already own it; 2) Each one is handmade, so it’s custom just for him, and 3) Each gift in this list is UNDER $30. You have a wedding to plan, so we’re saving you a little money along the way! And to top it all off, these gift ideas are great for the holidays and beyond.
