Sifting through a sea of gift ideas when none seem ideal is an experience everyone is familiar with. If you're wanting to avoid that headache this year, one of the best remedies can be to utilize the convenient, fast, and reliable perks of shopping on Amazon and its mountain of gifting options.
To make your last-minute shopping easier, we found 35 gifts for him that won't cost more than $100, but that he's still sure to like.
Most of these items are even available with free one- or two-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime, so you don't have to stress over whether it'll arrive on time (although a good rule of thumb, especially this year, is to order early to make extra sure you're able to avoid any delays).
Shop the 31 best Amazon gifts for him:
A minimalist leather wallet

Fast USB-C chargers for all his devices
iPhones no longer come with a charging adaptor in the box, so if you're gifting a new iPhone, you'll want to include an Anker Nano as a stocking stuffer. It charges three times as fast as the typical Apple charger and is physically the same size.

The base of the blade will contour to his face, allowing for a comfortable shave or trim without irritation — and it works for wet or dry shaving.

A charging dock for his iPhone and Apple Watch
