Less Gag, More Gift: 7 Upscale Men’s Gifts We Found at Atlanta Market

Shopping for men’s gifts is changing. What once was looked at as an opportunity solely for gag gifts and pun-related apparel has been elevated to include upscale hobbies, décor and personal care. As our team walked through Atlanta Market last week, we saw a growing trend in items for men.

From beard care to barware to masculine journals, here are a few of our favorite men’s gifts finds from market:

Zootility’s Wooden Journals

These journals are a different take on the traditional stationery mainstay. The wooden covers are a fun twist while still providing a space for the user to jot their thoughts, exercise routines, dreams and more.

Whiskey River’s Do Not Eat Soaps

These soaps look like iconic foods, but they are anything but! Each soap is handmade with a vegan blend of ingredients and with fragrance blends to match each concept. It’s a nice way to give a gift that looks fun and silly while still offering quality products.

Jack Black’s The Clean Team

Men’s personal care is in an upswing as it continues to become more socially acceptable for men to outwardly use quality products. The Clean Team gift box comes with an all-over wash, body & hair cleanser and an energizing turbo wash.

Corkcicle’s Whiskey Smoking Kit

A great way to elevate the home bar scene, this whiskey smoking kit comes with three different smoke fuels to give a variety of tastes to any home drink.

Grit’s Hand Repair Balm and Beard Balm

Beards are in and men are looking for products to help keep them looking great. This made-in-America brand offers multiple scents to appeal to every man and they also offer a hand balm for those who work with their hands!

Mad Man’s Table Games

The Mad Man brand offers a variety of tabletop games designed for the masculine consumer with its packaging and colors. Plus, the company donates a portion of its profits to their orphanage in the Dominican Republic that helps at-risk youth.

Two’s Company’s “Don’t Ask” Double Old Fashioned Glass

Okay, this one may still fall into the joke category a little bit, but it’s a much more elevated take on the traditional joke men’s gift. The quality of the glass felt nice and would be a solid addition to any bar set.
