50 Best Gifts For Uncles That'll Make You His Favorite Family Member

Become the best gift-giver in the family.

By and

Uncles. They're the unsung heroes of dull Thanksgiving dinners. They're the ultimate drinking buddy. They're always up to watch a game, throw down some money, and let the best team win (if it's theirs). They're the secret backbone of the family, keeping an eye on aunts, cousins, and parents while being seemingly aloof. They're there when ya need 'em and even when you don't.

Aside from that, they're also notoriously hard to shop for—as it seems is the truth with all men. Luckily, we just happen to know exactly what kind of gift to get them, no matter if they're the rich uncle who has got it all, the athletic uncle who only cares about sports, or the everyday uncle who wants nothing more than to crack open a cold one.

With that said, allow us to show you the best presents on the market for any kind of uncle. For the one who likes tech gadgets, how about a levitating Bluetooth speaker? As for the guy who can't get enough nights of grilling in the backyard, what about a box that'll give him all the meat he could ever dream of? And for the uncle that swears he doesn't want anything, we're positive he wouldn't turn down the most comfortable hoodie of all time. You're only one present away from being his favorite member.
