Loewe

For the Outdoorsy Type

Rei Adventures Lost Coast California - Backpacking

So they don't want another thing... Why not send them on a backpacking trip? California's Lost Coast is the most beautiful stretch of land in America. They'll watch the sunset over the horizon, sleep to the sounds of waves, and get incredible once-in-a-lifetime vista views.

For the Parks Lover

America the Beautiful Pass - 2023/2024

For a bit more open-ended adventure, just snag them an America the Beautiful Pass. It gives admittance to all our national parks, and about 2,000 other federal wildlife sites.

For the Amateur Shutterbug

FujiFilm QuickSnap Flash 400

Who doesn't love a disposable camera? If you really want to incentivize them, give them an assignment: Say, use this camera for a photographic study of your family, hometown signage, or whatever. Makes it a bit of a fun game.

A Fail-Proof Gift

Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro

Now 50% Off

You should do this: Gift him Ruffino's phenomenal Chianti Classico Gran Selezione—the highest level of this state-protected wine—and say they have to drink it with you before the holiday is over. Selfishly, you get to partake. But more importantly, it ensures that this gift isn't going to take up space on a wine rack when they go home.

Best Spirit to Gift

Campari

Campari has redone its bottle for the first time in a long time. The flutes make it standout on a bar cart, and it's a great excuse to say "Oh, well you don't have one of these bottles yet."

Easier to Store than Candles

Aesop Murasaki Aromatique Incense

As someone who is part of the "Don't get me anything," crowd, I love candles. Anything that's a usable scent, really. But all that stuff takes up shelf space. Incense is a great swerve, because I can store it in a drawer somewhere.

A Luxury They Didn't Ask For

The Caviar Co. Royal California White Sturgeon Caviar

When gifting, the best thing you can be is over generous. They say, "Don't buy me anything," and you rebuttal with "How about the most luxurious food out there?"

A Classic Gift

Diptyque Coton (Cozy cocoon)

Now 22% Off

A candle is always the go to in this scenario. It doesn't take up a ton of space, it improves their home, and once they're done with it, they don't have to think about it ever again.

Best Foodie Gift

Mercado Famous Whole Jamon Serrano

Does anyone need a whole leg of jamón? No. But, it comes with carving instructions and it's makes for a great party centerpiece.

A Candle Alternative

Loewe Tomato Leaves Room Spray

I'm a self professed "Don't get me a gift," guy, but I'd love a room spray. There's no smell on Earth I love more than tomato vines. I want this room spray so my home can always smell like my southern summertime Elysian Fields.

Best Sleep Gift

Brooklinen Fabric Refresher

I actually own this fabric spray, and I use it on my bed everyday after I wake up. It keeps it fresh in between washes, but there's nothing more luxurious than putting your head down on a perfectly scented pillow every night.

A Frivolous Non-Necessity

Acqua di Parma Scented Matches

Scented matches are a frivolous thing no one really owns. Instead of smelling like a normal match, these smell a bit incense-y. It just makes lighting a candle feel even more luxe.

Most Meaningful Gift to Give

Donate to a Charity

This is actually the best option. You know them well enough to find a charity that speaks to them. Here's an example, everyone close enough to get me a gift knows I love soccer, and I am from Georgia. So, they should send some money to Soccer in the Streets, who is dedicated to building public transit accessible soccer fields throughout the Atlanta metro area.
