From stylish upgrades to unique tech finds that he'll get excited about. (Amazon, Walmart, Bombas)

It often feels like it’s way easier to find gifts for friends than your husband (ya know, the guy you've known and loved for practically forever). He’ll insist he doesn’t need anything new, though he’s been carrying around the same worn-down wallet for the past eight years. Or, maybe he’s a little more particular when it comes to clothes and accessories, so he’d rather pick them out himself. But as Yahoo’s resident gifting expert, I spend my days studying gifting trends and learning about new products. So I put together the best gifts for husbands below.

Not all husbands are equal, so I made sure to include gifts for all types of men, whether he’s a golfer, likes to spend time outdoors, or enjoys testing out new technology.

The best part? You can easily find these gifts at popular retailers that offer quick shipping, like Amazon or Walmart, so you can shop right from your phone if you’d prefer.

Best gifts for husbands by category:

If the couch is his second home (kidding ... kind of), then get him this silicone cupholder so he always has something to sip on within reach. Just slip it over any couch arm, and it will stay put.

Maybe he’s into board games, or maybe he’s into birdwatching. Whatever the case, he'll appreciate this highly-flying game that he can play solo or with up to four friends. Keep in mind that it has a longer play time of around 40 to 70 minutes.

Now he can make espresso right at home. Over 6,000 Amazon shoppers bought this machine in the past month — and it's no wonder. It comes with a milk frother and steam wand, plus it costs a fraction of other name brands on the market.

Fuel a fire and watch it burn from just about anywhere — the couch, on the patio, you name it. Since it runs on ethanol instead of isopropanol or rubbing alcohol, he'll notice less smells and soot, plus it has a 1-hour burn time.

He can only wear one watch at a time, so he might as well display the others until it's their time to shine (on his wrist, of course). This wooden case — available in oak (shown here), walnut, black and more — has four designated spots for watches, along with a pull-out drawer to hold cufflinks, tie clips and other accessories.

This portable putting green is key if he's trying to improve his short game. Just place it on the ground, choose a target and try to get a hole in one while avoiding the built-in sand trap cutouts.

Once he sets his ideal drinking temperature (anywhere from 120°F to 145°F) in the Ember app, he can enjoy up to 80 minutes of perfectly warm coffee or tea. It'll last even longer if he places his mug on the charging coaster. (Want to know more? Read why it topped our tech editor's list of the best smart mugs.)

Beloved by both home cooks and professionals, this cast iron pizza pan is what he needs to "achieve the legendary New York-style texture that crunches as you bite into it," wrote one pizza pro.
