Fleece sweatshirt in the perfect green, or a deep navy hoodie. $54.

Bergamot cologne. My guy friend wears this, and every time we hang out I can’t believe how good it smells. He told me he gets asked about it constantly. $150 (could go in with siblings/cousins).

Spicy chili oil, $22, for drizzling over pizza, pasta, and veggies. Made with organic extra virgin olive oil and some of the hottest peppers in the world.

Peanut butter brownie honeycomb ice cream (I discovered it last week and can’t stop proselytizing!), $12/pint.

The blackout mask I swear by. The memory foam is incredibly soft and breathable, so you don’t feel any eye pressure at all. Perfect for traveling. $13.

The new cookbook by that guy from the Bear! $24.

Japanese sock slippers that always sell out. From $34.

A rocket puzzle, $20, or a hypnotic magic wire, $8, to delight his niece and nephews.
