Listen, no one is better than Esquire at finding cool products for your loved ones; we'd bet on that. That said, we love the Google Holiday 100, an incredible gift-giving resource. The list creates Google's 100 best gifts based on the year's most searched trends and real shopping search data. For us, it's a tool to confirm our biases—yep, the Switch 2 is going to be popular this year. For you, it's a great starting point for anyone on your gifting list, and the price-comparison tool makes sure you get the best deal possible. To get you started, we pulled six standout products that any guy would love to receive. — Luke Guillory, commerce editor |

These are easily some of the best earbuds on the market. Adaptive audio adjusts to the world around you, and the 30-plus-hour battery life is the industry standard. If you've got a traveler in your family, they're perfect for long-haul flights and multiple layovers. For public-transit commuters and gym-goers, that same combination of high-end sound and long-lasting battery makes these a no brainer. |

We love all things travel hack-y, and Tumi is the one company we always turn to for that. The Split Travel Kit can be used in a few different ways, depending on what you want. It can hold all your cords and tech accessories. It can be a toiletry kit. It can be a personal item that organizes your phone, diary, journal, passport, etc. Again, if someone on your list is a frequent flier, there's not a more elevated or more practical way to keep travel essentials organized. |

Broadly speaking, this is going to be the gift of the year. If it were two decades ago, there would have been physical lines (and physical altercations) outside Best Buy locations for the Switch 2. In the eight years since the original Switch released, it's become one of the most beloved consoles of all time. The Switch 2 isn't changing any of that. It's simply giving the form factor a facelift—with more power, better ergonomics, and a nicer screen—for the next decade of Nintendo's top releases. |

Another Esquire favorite. We've been recommending Therabody's line of skin-care devices for years. This is the original, high-powered LED light mask, but there is a brand-new version called the TheraFace Mask Glo for about half the price. The original TheraFace is for your skin-care obsessive, someone who is into all the right K-beauty products or a guy who's using night serums. The newer, less powerful Glo is for the person who just needs a little tightening and firming on the face—your brother who is dating again, your mom who doesn't want too much tech to deal with, your nephew in high school who shouldn't be the sole owner of a $650 product. |

Merino wool is the world's best sock material; it's God's gift to sheep (and human feet, by extension). High-end boot socks and military-grade socks almost exclusively use merino blends. It's warm in cold weather but wicks moisture incredibly well to avoid any bacterial nastiness. That moisture wicking also makes it a great summer pick. What I'm saying here is that socks are not a boring gift. A four-pack of Bombas is a life-changing experience. He'll never go back to regular old cotton and polyester. |

If merino is God's gift to the world, a Polo cable-knit sweater is Ralph Lauren's contribution of near-equal importance. You get 90 percent regular wool with 10 percent cashmere woven in. The result is an affordable sweater that performs well beyond its reasonable price tag. If your gift is for Christmas, stick to the reds and greens. If this is for Hanukkah, the light blue and heather gray—which looks more luxe than heather gray makes it sound—are just as beautiful. It's a classic, timeless piece of menswear. |
