- He can use these Italian sour cherries to make the best Manhattan cocktail, or to pair with a sharp cheddar on the prefect cheese plate. (My guy would do both.) They’re so delicious.
- And, if the time is right, get him a set of Tritan Crystal Glassesfor that cocktail. These are practically unbreakable—amazing for crystal.
- A wooden-soccer table. (Is a toy or puzzle ever a bad idea? See post script.) [Update: similar]
- A 36 Hours travel book. End the “What do you want to do this weekend?” debate once and for all. Afterall, it’s still a gift even if you stand to benefit.
- Everyone needs a really good waffle iron.(Again, it’s still a gift even…) Make these with it.
- The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. He’ll pore over this beautiful book, full of archival detail. (Not a nature guy? Perhaps try thisinstead.)
- A beautiful, subtly masculine leather and canvas tote for his laptop etcetera. (This would also do.)
- Aron and our friend raved about Kraken Black Rum on our trip to Cayman last year. (Optional: throw in a Ginger Beersyrup that he can keep on hand for a dark-and-stormy.)
- Does he have a Grid-It Organizerfor all of his charge cords yet? They’re invaluable. We love ours, even for the drawer at home.
- Form and function: a sleek Bento box that’s both microwave- and dishwasher-safe. [Update: Similar]
- Unleash his inner Bear Grylls. He needs a LifeStraw Personal Water Filterfor all that time he spends roughing it in wilderness.
- This insertturns any old sack into a first-rate camera bag.
Or play it safe: A gift card to Nordstrom. Their half-yearly Men’s sale (one of the best all year) starts the day after Christmas.
P.S. Last year’s guide. And the year’s before that. (That toy helicopter remains my favorite go-to gift suggestion for guys.)
