The 28 best Christmas gifts for him — from $10 to $200

Shorter days are upon us — but that doesn't mean he has less on his plate. Once the sun sets, he can throw on this beanie to light his way while he walks the dog, takes out the trash or tackles some outdoor chores. Get eight hours of light on a single charge, then power it back up with a standard USB charger before the next after-hours adventure. 

Sometimes, a problem solver is the best gift you can give. Enter this set of gooseneck lights, which can magnetically attach to any grill — Traeger, Weber, you name it — so he can actually see what's on the grates. He can set them up instantly since they come with AAA batteries — a rare feat in the gifting world! 

Now, I'm not saying this is what he looks like on the course ... but I'm also not saying that it isn't. Give your golfer a good laugh with a pair of these all-too-relatable socks that he can wear at home or on the green.

Sensing a theme here? The next time he does anything after dark — running, fishing, fixing up his car, you name it — he can slip on these gloves to see what's in front of him. One five-star fan raved that they are especially great in a "tight place trying to make a repair with little light in the area." They added: "The extra batteries and screwdriver are a nice touch."

Turn your silliest snap into an air freshener in one of 23 scents, then tell him he has to hang it up for all to see. They're only $6 a piece, so go ahead and make sure every family member is represented — pets, too! 

Your handyman is about to get a whole lot, well, handier. The next time they're doing a project around the house, they can slip on this wristband to keep nails, screws and drill bits within arm's reach. Thousands of Amazon shoppers say it's a must in any toolbox, including one reviewer who bought it for her husband and raved that it "saves him trips back and forth and he doesn't have to worry about screws or nails falling to the ground."

Upgrade his e-reading experience with this handy remote control, which lets him flip the page with a click of a button. That way, he can prop up his Kindle, get comfortable and read hands-free. Call it lazy, call it smart, but hundreds of five-star reviewers say it's a game-changer, with one bookworm boasting that it "makes my evenings so much better" since "it allows me to read in bed and keep my hands warm under the covers." (Psst, find more out-of-the-box gifts for book lovers here!)

He knows and loves him from The Bear. Or his hilarious (but highly entertaining) cooking videos. Or both. Regardless, he'll get a taste of the Internet-famous chef's signature flavors in his all-new cookbook, featuring 126 soup, salad and sandwich recipes. True to his nature, these dishes are anything but ordinary — from giant meatball soup to an over-the-top French toast made with homemade banana bread.

It's about time that he has his own lip balm (and, ya know, stops "borrowing" yours). Give him this top-rated trio, all of which have SPF 25 to protect his precious pout from the sun. He'll get three rejuvenating flavors in one go — classic shea butter, natural mint and pineapple mint. 

Yahoo readers are buying this little guy (seriously, it's under 3 pounds) in droves. Use it to prune trees, trim back branches or cut "small saplings like a hot knife through butter" (one Amazon shopper's words, not ours). Another boasted that it "recharges very quickly and is very easy to clean and maintain, all of which makes this 70-year-old sea witch very happy." Get it now for 20% off. 

If he spends more time in the sky than on land, then give him a "genius gadget" (Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida's words, not mine) to make his plane time way more enjoyable. He can plug this Bluetooth adapter into the airplane seat's audio jack to pair their AirPods (or any wireless headphones) with ease. Broida put it to the test and wrote that it "worked flawlessly, pairing easily with my AirPods Pro and remembering that connection from one session to the next."

He never grew out of his Lego obsession, and good thing, because the company has been dropping more adult-only builds than ever before. This 540-piece kit brings the Super Mario enemy to life — well, kind of. He can pose the head, mouth, stalk and leaves to make it look like it's moving just like in the video game. 

If a new bottle of whiskey is always at the top of his Christmas list, then why don't you see how badly he wants it? Stick his favorite liquor inside the cage, then tell him he has to answer themed trivia questions and solve puzzles to crack the code.

A solid speaker can cost hundreds — that is, except for the always dependable JBL. Dubbed a "powerful little thing" by one five-star shopper, this small-but-mighty speaker packs a serious punch — it's waterproof, travel-friendly and has seven hours of playtime.

Everything comes back around — vinyls included. This turntable mixes old and new, so he can spin records the old-fashioned way or pair a phone via Bluetooth to stream today's top hits. "Not only does it look super stylish with its retro design, but it also delivers excellent sound quality for its size," one audiophile wrote, adding that it's easy to switch between the three different speeds and sizes.
