Men are impossible to buy for, no?  Men’s practicality is at best bizarre. They are practical beings for whom gifts must have a practical use and be far from extravagant. The following list is a compilation of the 25 Best Gifts for Adventurous Men according to males across the globe. Every gift on this list is pragmatic, if not a bit on the lavish side.

Adventurous men likely subscribe to the idea of minimalism and frugality. They see little need for indulgence, instead opting for the thrifty essentials. But, my friends who love beauty and opulence, the holidays are the optimal time to gift your man some higher-end gear that he will both use and enjoy. The holidays scream indulgence and allow us the gift of lavishness. Below, find the best practical, sophisticated gifts for adventurous men.

And, don’t miss our recent Gift Guide For The Adventurer … more practical, more essential gifts for on the trail, the river, the cliff, etc!
