Gift Guide for Non Musical Men Under $100 (And Sober)

Gift Guide for Non Musical Men Under $100 (And Sober)

De-Fi is a company that makes products for studio creatures, so it may be off brand for us to venture into the realm of non-musical men. However, we've noticed that most gift guides for men seem to assume they're all lushes who only enjoy goods made from flannel and leather that aid in concocting an Old Fashioned. What about men that are into flannel and leather, but not the booze? We've decided to take a break from our studio gift guides to fill that void. 

Finding the perfect gift for a man—whether it’s your partner, dad, brother, friend, or that elusive “guy who has everything”—doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. This curated guide highlights 20 thoughtful, useful, and stylish gifts under $100, all booze-free, organized by category to make your life easier.

From tech gadgets to grooming upgrades to workshop essentials, this list covers every type of guy.
