COME ON BABY...
The BioLite Firepit Plus has been featured everywhere so I am going to list it. In the company words: Enjoy the warmth, smell, crackle, and feel of a wood campfire, without any of the smoke. Our latest upgrade creates hyper-efficient flames with patented airflow technology and gives you a front-row seat to the magic thanks to the X-Ray mesh body.
PICK THIS GIFT
Remember how fast Dexter got into anyplace with a lock? Watch detective shows and wonder how they do it? Not sure how good this lock pick training kit is but for the right guy, this should light him up upon opening and have him wanting to give it a try right after the holiday dinner.
There's several if you Google and want to check it out, but this one has 3 different type of locks that are see through so they can understand what tool is doing what. And comes with a case of tools by VearFir for $34 on Amazon. No reviews yet, but you have the idea if you want to research it more!
Nothing seems to come with a guide, so I found one for $11.99 from LockPickingWorld. Again, I'm sure there are more if you're up for a little detective work yourself!
LIQUID LUXE
This came highly recommended by a friend who knows his whiskey, and enjoys discovering top notch brands - this one is very good, kinda special and so a good gift. Explore four different kinds - all in really great looking bottles at Four Roses Single Barrel and small batch bourbon. It's generally under $50.
COCKTAIL SUAVE
Here's another good choice: A pair of Leather covered Rocks glasses. With full grain leather, solid brass rivets and thick stitching these are very nice for $89 from from Clayton and Crume. Obviously monogramming is possible - check your dates. With or without they're quite handsome.
CONVERSATION STARTER
These compact fire starters are small but deliver. If he can't find tinder to start with a striker, or just wants to carry some in a back pack or with camping gear to use with matches, these could be life savers. Small, water proof, light immediately and burn for five minutes straight. Get them in a bundle of 30 for only $9.95, or up to a 200 pack. You can also make a bigger gift with add ons like the tin below or a flint starter. Check out all your options on BigFootBushCraft.com

SWEATS with POCKETS!
For the guy with classic tastes: He loves his worn our sweats, bu really could use something new. These have a nice fit and feel. Not skinny at the bottom for fashion's sake, and the ankle band isn't a nuisance. Won't shrink or fade in the washer. BONUS: This specific model (Style O8389) has side pockets AND a back pocket! Score. So soft, from recycled plastic turned into thread. Home tested and approved! Comes in four colors. The Hanes Men's Eco-Smart Jogger Sweatpant with Pockets is on sale for only $13.50 at Hanes.
For Sharp Casuals: A little more polished look as he works from home, these are an enticing option. They are a little more of a fashion cut, without being too skinny at the ankle. The fabric is textured, and they hang beautifully. Light and soft, they look a little more polished while still delivering the comfort guys like. Definitely neat enough to go out in too. The Apres Pant at Huckberry for $118.
YOGAGA
The 3 piece Yoga Kit. If he's been wanting to practice Yoga but not really gotten to it, or needs upgrade from the schwetty stuff he'd been using through lockdown, this 3 piece from LuLu Lemon is nice - a mat, a block and a little towel makes a nice package. You can buy another block if he's got a solid practice and may use one. Belts too. Choose from 4 color combos. This has navy backing, another has a nice red with grey and black, for $108.
Or, go for these superb cork mats, which are slip proof and absorb sweat. I can personally attest to their quality. Most are 5 mm thick, and hold up well, especially in hot yoga. You can also get a cork block, though I recommend a duo set if he's seriously into it. Great for any use. Red Bird offers 100% recycled cork, that's free of PVC's, for $65. BONUS: They offer a long mat called The Robin for tall folks at 85" long for $84. TIP: Get 10% off by signing up for their email.
FUNCTION TRIFECTA
City Keeper Gloves come in three colors and have three features that are hard to find together. They are water repellant on the back, have a thin layer of Primaloft for warmth - AND are effective touchscreen gloves. Not to mention they look great. These are ones he does not want to lose so there's a discreet clip to keep them together. Get them in sizes SM/M or L/XL at LuluLemon. com for $78.
GREEN SMOKE
es, it's a throwback but today people are looking to reduce their footprint. This Corncob bowl has a birch stem and no plastic or metal. It comes in a biodegradable packaging as is the product itself. By the Cannibis Co, but don't let the name fools you. Tobacco works just fine in it. Find it on Bespoke Post for $26.
