For big-ticket picks McGoff recommends AirPods (Pro for extra features) and ring-style fitness trackers, calling out Oura and Ultrahuman (noting Ultrahuman’s no-monthly-subscription advantage). He praises an EDC/watch storage box (Huckberry carry option that holds ~10 watches and includes a bottom drawer and cord pass-through) and a waxed trucker jacket — citing the Last of Us (2023) as a style catalyst. He flags cologne, watches, and wallets as risky unless you know the recipient’s exact preferences, suggesting refills, sampler sets, or gift cards instead. His reliable gifts include a well-made leather belt (Flint & Tinder 365), high-quality tees and loungewear (shorter inseams for shorter men), and durable slippers. He closes by stressing the most important gift: spending focused time with loved ones over the holidays.
