Shopping for him gets easier with one question: what does he carry, use or complain about every day? The best gifts upgrade one of those things.

Leather wallets and black onyx jewelry were among the fastest-growing men’s gift searches last holiday season, and practical tech like key finders always wins.

Add a handwritten line like “For your early-morning coffee”. It turns a useful gift into a thoughtful one.

Something that upgrades what he already uses daily: a smart mug for his coffee, a key finder for his keys, a charging station for his nightstand.

What’s a good gift for him under $50?

Key finder tags, rechargeable hand warmers or a 3-in-1 charging station are all in that range at most retailers.

Are smart gadgets hard to set up?

Most connect through one phone app in a few minutes. Check that the device supports his phone (iPhone or Android).
