Holiday shopping for guys can be tricky, but a good rule of thumb is to choose a gift that aligns with their interests. If your dad loves music, get him a vinyl album by his favorite band. Even if he doesn't have a record player, he can use it as decor. Or say your boyfriend is super into cooking. He would probably be excited to unwrap a personalized apron or a new sauté pan. Similarly, if the guy in your life is a running enthusiast, you're in luck — there are tons of great gift options out there for the fitness obsessed.

When you're shopping for a runner, there are a few different ways to go. You can keep it classic with activewear, such as joggers or workout tees. You can also opt for a tech-oriented product to help him track his personal progress. Regardless of what you have in mind, you are sure to find something perfect in this gift guide.
