50 Unique Gifts For Men Under $50

Amazon / Bustle

If you struggle to pick out affordable presents for the men in your life — whether it’s your brothers or your best bros — you're not alone. Finding unique gifts for men under $50 is no easy task, especially if you want to find something that they will really, truly get excited about.

It’s also fairly rare that the men in your life have the same interests: they range from nerdy to the outdoorsy, to the novice bartender all the way to the world traveler, and you want their hobbies to be reflected in your gift-giving choice.

That said, not everyone has an easy-to-buy-for hobby, so it’s sometimes better to go broad with a solid gift that any man could use. Any guy (or person!) could benefit from a tracker that keeps him from losing his keys or from a set of gym towels that somehow resists bad odors. And who wouldn't want a smart plug that lets you turn the lights off without getting out of bed?

I've assembled a list of gifts for men under $50 that is applicable any time of the year. Some will immediately make you think of specific guys who would be delighted to receive them, while others fit perfectly into that category of universally dude-approved. And, best of all, none of them will deplete your wallet.

3. A Shampoo That's Actually Made From Real Beer

Duffy's Brew IPA Craft Beer Shampoo, $20, Amazon

This craft beer shampoo is made with hops, roasted barley, and malt, ingredients that actually offer vitamin B, proteins, minerals, and amino acids — because beer is surprisingly nourishing for hair.

5. This Gizmo That Speeds Up Steak Thawing Time

Thaw Claw, $13, Amazon

Using this thawing tool to defrost frozen meats in the sink speeds up the process while also keeping you safe. While its prongs hold the packaged meat in place, its suction cup keeps the meat submerged in water — instead of occasionally floating to the top, which causes uneven defrosting and isn't as sanitary. This way, you can still safely but quickly defrost a steak for dinner even if you forgot to move it from the freezer to the fridge the previous day.

This whiskey wedge set comes with a whiskey glass and a silicone mold to make a wedge-shaped ice cube that helps to keep liquor cold the entire time you drink it.
