Something snazzy for every guy.

If you prefer to forego the traditional tie this year, the massive list below is packed with unique — and pretty objectively awesome — items that are sure to bring a smile to even the pickiest fella. And best of all, none of them will run you more than 35 bucks with Amazon Prime.

Whether the guy you’re shopping for's a grill master, a coffee fanatic, a handyman (or an aspiring one), there's something here for him. There are also cool items to trick out his car, office, kitchen, and bathroom. And, there are even some things to nudge him toward self-care. So scroll on and see what's asking to make the leap from your cart into his hands.

A great gift is one that frequently reminds your recipient that you care. And this handheld, high-pressure showerhead will make every shower better, which is a lot of reminders. The six spray modes boosted water pressure and the ability to stand under it or lift it off its mount for close-range showering will make for a better start to every day.

This stainless steel multitool can accomplish so much, without hauling out an entire toolbox. It has 14 functions — including pliers, screwdrivers, knives, a saw, a can opener, and a bottle opener. It comes with a custom case that will strap to a belt loop.

"I passed out roughly five of these [as] gifts and the response [...] was very good," said one reviewer.

This Bluetooth headband is the perfect accessory for running, doing yoga, hiking, or even sleeping. It keeps your hair wrangled and out of your eyes while absorbing sweat. And it does that while delivering your choice of music or audiobooks directly to your ears. It's stretchy, breathable, washable, and comes in 16 colors.

This magnetic wristband is super handy for anyone who likes to climb a ladder to install their own fixtures or open up the plumbing or car and DIY their own fixes. Strap it on. Then stick all the small tools, nuts, bolts, and parts you will need for your project to the 10 extra-strong magnets embedded into the ballistic nylon channels. You will go up the ladder armed and ready.

Give the gift of knowing how to help a razor burn problem; this pre-shave exfoliating brush is a simple solution. The firm but flexible silicone bristles exfoliate the skin to help prevent ingrown hairs and post-shave bumps. It's gentle, fits neatly in the palm to make using it easy, and has nearly 8,000 five-star reviews.

This glasses and contacts case is the perfect solution for anyone who wears, well, glasses and contacts. One side holds the eyeglasses when he's wearing contacts. The other side holds his contacts — and lens cleaning solution and tools — while he's wearing his glasses. It comes in seven colors.

This magnetic running pouch is the wallet that requires no pockets. Just hook the inside flap over a waistband and secure it with the magnets so it stays put. It won't bounce around or annoy you as you run, hike, climb, or do what you do. A hook-and-loop closure flap keeps your items secured inside. It comes in three sizes.

Shaving in the shower is the way to go. Hot water helps soften hair, which can make it easier to shave closely. But it's hard to shave what you can't see. So this fogless shower mirror is a gift that everyone who shaves will appreciate. Fill it with hot water to prevent the fog. It comes with a squeegee and a carrying bag so it's easy to bring along when traveling.

Snap this razor saver over the blades when you are done shaving and it will help preserve your blades by preventing the oxidation of the steel, which inhibits rust and degradation. You will likely get more shaves from a single blade, which saves time, money, and hassle. It also makes it easy to travel with a razor by covering the shape edges and protecting your travel bag and the blades.

Wallets are a classic gift. But this slim, trifold wallet is not a classic style. With an internal money clip, an external card slot that makes sliding out your favorite card easy, and a slim shape that fits in a front pocket, it is a very modern solution — especially because it blocks data-thieving RFID scanners, too.

"It is small, elegant, lots of space for cards, and very efficient," said one reviewer.

Forget fiddling with tiny wires, in the dark, every night. Drop your phone on this wireless charger instead. It holds your phone at an angle so you can glance at the time or notifications, charges your phone super fast, and works in portrait or landscape mode so you can watch movies on your phone while it charges.

Solving his battery storage hassles for life is a valuable gift. This battery organizer and tester holds 93 batteries. The lid is clear so you can see your entire inventory at a glance. It mounts to a wall or fits into a drawer. And it has a built-in battery tester so you will never waste time loading dead batteries into the remote. It comes in six colors.

Add this electronic organizer pouch to your laptop bag so you can always find the cord, battery, tool, or adapter you need when you need it. It rolls up small. But it has three mesh pockets for adapters or SIM cards, six elastic loops for cords and tools, and two open pockets for backup batteries or a mouse. It comes in six colors.

When you travel by bike, there is no reason not to bring the navigation, communication, and entertainment options you take in the car for a road trip. With this bike phone mount you can have all of that, right on the handlebars where you can use it while you pedal. A clamp grabs the handlebars. A clamp and silicone band system keeps your phone securely in the mount.

If the big water bottle you invested in does not fit in your car's cup holder, there is an easy solution that doesn't involve buying a smaller Hydro Flask. This car cup holder expander grows the holding size of your cup holder. Install the base into the current holder and set your cup in this one that can accommodate bottles up to 3.85 inches in diameter. Its clever design will also secure smaller cups.

When sleep evades you because of ambient noise (or that in your own mind), this white noise machine can help stop the distraction. Play your favorite of the six available sounds — rain, ocean, summer night, and more — at the push of a button. It will play all night or for the length of time — 30, 60, or 120 minutes — you choose. Plug it in or use batteries. It's sized for travel.

Attach this universal car mount to your dash or windshield to put your phone in glancing and tapping reach while you drive, so you can better follow navigation or answer calls. The telescoping and pivoting arm makes it easy to get the viewing placement and angle just right and the one-touch clamp holds your phone securely and then lets go of it easily. There are versions that attach to the air vent and CD slot, too.

Storing ties so you can easily select the one you want is a challenge without this pair of tie racks that hang in your closet and hold 20 ties (perhaps all the gifts from previous years?). The hook rotates 360 degrees so you can peruse your collection while it's hanging.

"A gift for the husband and he loved it," said one reviewer. "Great space saver. Holds the ties in place and it's easy to take the tie out."

Having a phone charger everywhere you might want to charge your phone is such a gift. And this set of three 10-foot-long iPhone charger cables makes creating that life hack easy.

If you know a man who loves his outdoor fire pit, he will also love having a cover for it. It will keep it from getting covered in leaves, dust, or bird poo while it sits outside. And it will save him from having to clean out a fire bowl full of wet ash before lighting the next fire. This fire pit cover assumes the shape of the fire pit and is a heavyweight, PVC-coated fabric that is durable, waterproof, and wind resistant. It has buckle straps to hold it securely and comes in square or round styles.

This blender bottle makes it easy to mix powders into liquids, make smoothies on the go, or even whip up some quick pancake batter. Just drop the metal ball whisk into the bottle and shake.

Whether his beverage of choice comes from a can, a keg, a growler, or any combination of those, he wants that drink to stay cold, right?

But if there's a keg or growler in the house, it converts to a 12-ounce insulated tumbler with a spill-proof sipping lid.

Pocket this hockey-puck-sized camping lantern and take it to the patio or the wilderness. It pops up when you need light and throws a diffused, bright glow to illuminate a meal or campsite. Charge it with the sun or by plugging it into a USB port. Set it on a table, hang it from the ceiling of your tent, or carry it as a flashlight. It will even charge your phone.

You don't need to be a clean freak to have a clean car. The trick is to keep a good trash can in there. This car trash can is the one. It attaches to the headrest, console, or side door. It comes with 20 liners but also fits plastic grocery bags and is waterproof and wipeable in case you run out of liners. It holds lots of trash and the magnetic lid stays closed but opens easily. It even collapses if you have passengers and doubles as a cooler.

Tuck this portable charger in your pocket as you head out for a long day, and don't fear that your phone will fail you before you make it home.

Give up the foam earplugs and upgrade your concert-going paraphernalia with these high-fidelity earplugs.

You can still hear the music. But you will also be able to hear when you leave the concert.

Choosing between handwritten notes and digital note-taking tools can be hard for those of us who enjoy the tactile feeling of pen on paper. But you don't have to choose.

It stores it neatly, pours it easily, strains out the bacon bits, and has a lid to keep the grease clean.
