Not sure what to get as gifts for him? I used to have that problem too.
For me, it’s harder to shop for men. Their ideas, their taste, everything, it’s all different. What I think is really cool is unusual to them, and what they think is a great gift, I just don’t ‘get’ it.
Thankfully, I had a friend put this list together for me or I’d still be stuck! lol. For all of you out there that just get stuck when it comes round Christmas or birthday time, here are 10 best gifts for men under $30.

#3 – Stainless-Steel RFID Blocking Travel Wallet
Do you think you’re safe against identity theft, with your wallet tucked under your arm, or in your back pocket? Think again. From a distance, anyone with the right equipment can read and steal whatever content they please. He can tell your name, address, nationality…you name it! So, one question remains: You lock your car, and your house — why not lock your personal data as well? A bad guy can walk by you with a RFID scanner, scan your credit cards, passport, anything with a bar code type RFID tag — and do so without you even knowing. Ten minutes later, he could have wiped your bank account clean. Or worse, max out your cards. But, no worries, you can prevent the scanning of this data by using the quality BRYK RFID Blocking Travel Wallet.

I always have a hard time buying smaller presents for my husband. These are great ideas! Going to share on my social media.
Sarah says
Glad it is helping you Hilary! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Diane says
How do I get the prices shown above? A few of the links above don’t have the prices as shown. I love some of these ideas though!!! Thanks!!
Sarah says
Amazon constantly changes their prices, so some may be higher, some may be lower.
Janeen says
Diane, as Sarah said, Amazon’s prices change constantly. If you’re interested in any of the items, you can use camel camel camel (google it) to track the price and receive an email when the price has dropped below whatever threshold you set. Funny name, I know. I put all of my gift ideas into my Amazon wishlist and then camelcamelcamel emails me when the price drops and I get the best deal. Happy shopping!
Sarah says
Amazing Tip Janeen! I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Anna says
Thanks for a great list. I totally agree with you- that men are hard to buy for. This wonderful list gave me a couple of ideas for my father-in-law – the hardest person to buy for on my list! Thank you!
Kim Anderson says
Thanks for the link love Sarah! You have some good ideas in here!
Sarah says
You’re welcome Kim. Yours is good too. 🙂 Men are so hard to shop for. When my husband was home, one year I got him a whole car set. He likes the Giants baseball team, so it was like, a Giants steering wheel cover, license plate cover, seat covers, floor mats, the whole 9 yards. I had it custom made on eBay and Amazon to make the set. He loved it. 🙂
Raymond says
That Sardine Survival Kit looks like a great deal for the price. 🙂
Julia says
I love the variety in this list! Although I think my hubby would just be happy that I kept it under $30 😉 LOL, thanks for sharing!!
Sarah Titus says
Glad you like it Julia! 🙂
Brittany says
Great gift guide. My dad really likes the Black & Decker pro. I have some suggestions on what men like getting from Christmas my dad and husband have always been hard to shop for. They however like getting leather belts, leather wallets, pocket knives, blue jeans, socks, camouflage jacket, ohh a giant Hershey kiss would be a great idea.
Sarah Titus says
Great ideas Brittany. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Dan W says
That fogless shaving mirror is serious the best thing ever! I have one and use it religiously in the shower. Had it for a year now and no issues. Great pick!
