Whether you're picking a present for a pal [1], parent, or partner [2], it can be more of a challenge since you know them well (vs. a low-pressure Secret Santa situation [3]). You want to give someone you love something they love, right?! But, when it comes to the men in your life [4], there also could be a fine line between what you think he wants and what you think he needs [5] . . . and, poof, indecision
Luckily, that's where Banana Republic comes in as there are plenty of luxe yet practical gift ideas that you can go in on with your siblings, plus sweet stocking stuffers [6] you can pick up in bulk, too. Whether he's more into lounge shorts or pocket squares, there's something here that suits him. (Oh, and speaking of suits, there's a packable option that folds up into small squares once it's safe to travel again.)
Plus, not that we need much encouragement to shop [7] with the holidays right around the corner, but most things are an additional 50 percent off now through Nov. 28 (with no code needed). Get the wrapping paper ready, and check out our picks for men from Banana Republic ahead.
Banana Republic Merino Sweater Hoodie
He already lives in his regular hoodie so why not upgrade him to a cosy-chic Banana Republic Merino Sweater Hoodie [9] ($109) this Christmas?
Banana Republic Washable Merino Slouchy Beanie
Yes, this Banana Republic Washable Merino Slouchy Beanie [10] ($50) will keep his head warm but we love that it's a washable wool so it stays (easily) clean, too.
Banana Republic Slim Packable Performance Suit
"Packable" is not an understatement with this Banana Republic Slim Packable Performance Suit Jacket [11] ($298) and Banana Republic Slim Tapered Packable Suit Pant [12] ($159). Both fold into their own pockets to slip into a bag (and are machine washable, too).
Banana Republic Slim-Fit Non-Iron Dress Shirt
This Banana Republic Slim-Fit Non-Iron Dress Shirt [13] ($80) has the magic words for many men: non-iron. Bonus: It also comes in dozens of colours [14] so you can pick his favourite.

Slipping these Banana Republic Sherpa Indoor Slippers [15] ($24-$50) under the tree offers toasty toes all year long.

Banana Republic Heritage Recycled Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater
Not only may this Banana Republic Heritage Recycled Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater [20] ($229-$249) be the softest option in his closet, it's also upcycled cashmere as a sustainable bonus.
Banana Republic Nubuck Leather and Merino-Blend Gloves
Banana Republic Nubuck Leather and Merino-Blend Gloves [21] ($99) will definitely come in handy this winter.

Banana Republic Heavy Flannel Shirt Jacket
Is it a shirt or is it a jacket? Well, that's up to him because technically the Banana Republic Heavy Flannel Shirt Jacket [25] ($90) is both.
Banana Republic Nicklas Leather Sneaker
While these Banana Republic Nicklas Leather Sneakers [26] ($138) come in several colours [27] with suede and canvas options, too, we especially like this slate grey choice.
Banana Republic Jaguar Sock
Socks can serve as stocking stuffers for men of any age and we love that these colourful and cheeky options [28] — like the Banana Republic Jaguar Sock [29] ($7-$15) — are fun to boot.

This Banana Republic Cosy Henley T-Shirt [30] ($20-$50) comes in neutral colours for someone who likes to stock the basics.

There's a pocket for pretty much everything on this Banana Republic Water-Resistant Field Jacket [32] ($229).

Banana Republic Wool Dress Scarf
This Banana Republic Wool Dress Scarf [34] ($60) looks polished and professional but still keeps him warm.
Banana Republic Merino Half-Zip Sweater
While a Banana Republic Merino Half-Zip Sweater [35] ($90) looks stylish on its own, it looks even better layered under the Banana Republic Motion Tech Quilted Vest [36] ($169).
Banana Republic Cosy Lounge Short
Don't these Banana Republic Cosy Lounge Shorts [37] ($50) look better than gym shorts for just lounging on the sofa?
Banana Republic Athletic Tapered Heathered Traveller Pant
