Holiday gift shopping has begun! Shopping for men is one of the more difficult things I do this time of year, whether it's finding a perfect gift for my husband, my dad or my best friend. Every year, I'm looking for something they'll actually use and enjoy, and that (hopefully) won't spend its lifetime in a drawer.

The good news? The USA Today Shopping team has curated some of the best gifts this year, and there isn't a single pair of socks or custom wallet on this list (cue the collective sigh of relief). There are some usual suspects like sports gear and tech gifts, but there are also options for the man who always has a tee time, the sneakerhead and more.

Below you will find our top 15 gift ideas for men that you can shop this holiday season.
