40 Super Duper Christmas Gifts for Quirky Guys

1. Leather & Beaver Fur Trapper Hat

Did someone say “most unique gifts”? We’d have a hard time coming up with one to top this leather and up-cycled beaver fur trapper hat…

If you live in a cold climate and he happens to love hats, then you can’t go wrong with a great gift like this. A little bit old school, a little bit mountain man, a little bit hipster, he’ll be channeling his inner Davy Crockett in no time.

The cool thing about these hats is that the furs are up-cycled, so no cute beavers were harmed in the making (and that’s something we can get behind.)

2. Bolt Action Engraved Pen

How cool are these bolt action brass pens? If you’re looking for gift ideas for men who have everything (we know you have at least one or two on your list), then don’t pass these up.

Everyone needs a good pen to keep handy, and these can be conveniently clipped to a keyring, backpack, laptop case, etc., and they can be engraved with their names, too!

A neat little novelty gift that is every bit as functional as it is cool.

3. Untitled Goose Magnetic Key Holder

Have you heard of the PC game Untitled Goose? Well, your gamer has. 

In this silly but super-fun game, the goose picks up items with its beak. These key-holder figurines have magnets so your goose can hold items under its beak just like in the game.

4. The Campfire from Solo Stove

Now this is both a thoughtful gift and a great way to encourage him to spend some time out in the great outdoors.

Solo Stoves are lauded for their practicality, durability, and ease of use, and he’ll be blown away by how powerful these little camp stoves are! The definition of small but mighty for sure.

5. Custom Cartoon Portrait

There’s just something about cartoon caricatures that has always captivated humans and our imaginations.

Imagine your man, for instance, in his natural habitat (camping, the gym, playing with his kids, even relaxing on the couch with his doggo), but in cartoon form, and you’re instantly enthralled.

Now it’s easier than ever to turn a fave photo of your man into a comic that he can show off to his friends (as well as treasure forever, of course).

The artists at Make Me a Comic can create a hand-drawn masterpiece, featuring your man and befitting of his office, man cave, or mantle centerpiece, just by looking at a pic you send them.

Choose from several different print sizes as well as digital download.

6. Jordan Shoes Headphone Stand

This Jordan shoes headphone stand will make your sneakerhead leap for joy when they unwrap it on Christmas morning. Maybe he won’t get Jordan’s 4 foot vertical, but he’ll sure try.

7. Rubik’s Phantom Cube

Every guy has a soft spot for the Rubik’s Cube, because every guy secretly believes he is a budding genius.

So whether he’s a Rubik’s fan, someone who loves a good challenge, or has an entire shelf devoted to quirky collectibles, the Phantom cube is the perfect Christmas gift for him.

Designed to react to thermal touch, the Phantom block will reveal it colors only at the warmth of your fingertips, making it one of their most challenging blocks yet.

8. Brainy Dress Tie

My goodness, these planet lollipops are almost too pretty to eat! We said almost. Tasty and clever, they’ll give your boi a rush of sugar and appeal to all five senses. 

10. Triangle Peg Game (.45 Caliber)

The nostalgia of the classic triangle peg game, played around the fireplaces of a certain American diner for decades, has been given new life.

If your man still loves that old game, maybe it’s time to level him up into something more of his…caliber. See what we did there?

This set kicks things up a notch by trading in the classic wood tees for something a bit more hardy — .45 caliber bullet casings. (And don’t worry, the real walnut base will keep all that glorious Cracker Barrel nostalgia intact.)

Also ideal for hunters or gun collectors.

11. Fishing Pole Campfire Roasting Stick

A fishing pole campfire roasting stick makes the perfect holiday gift for the camping enthusiast, fisherman, or the guy who’s both.

This fun man toy will roast up to four marshmallows at a time, OR two hot dogs.
