Watches, Coffee, Electronics, oh my!
“The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value”. — Charles Dudley Warner
A great gift is about much more than a price tag. Here are 10 gifts someone on your list will love at various price points under $200.
Timex Marlin Chronograph
The Timex Marlin Chronograph is a watch that punches well above its weight class. It keeps good time, looks cool to the novice and will catch a compliment from many watch aficionados. This automatic watch features a full face with a tachymeter and chronograph.
Bonus idea: The Orient Bambino is a minimalist go-to at a similar price point.
Sonos Roam 2
”Pump up the jam” with the Roam 2. It’s a great way to “whoa, listen to the music.” If you ever hear a friend say “I can’t get no satisfaction”, maybe it’s because they have subpar speakers. Gift Sonos speakers this year and they may respond with “I will always love you.”
Kindle Paperwhite
That special someone in your life can have a library at their fingertips with the Kindle Paperwhite. Perhaps this is just what they need to live up to that resolution to read more books.
MAG:3 Classics Charger and Tray in Italian Leather
COURANT’s Italian leather charging tray adds a little class to the tabletop nest of cords and essentials. With space for a phone, earbuds and other essentials, this tray is big enough to hold what is needed without being overwhelmingly large.
Temperature Control Smart Mug
“The powers of a man’s mind are directly proportional to the quantity of coffee he drinks.” — Sir James MacKintosh
For the friend who always has a cup in hand, Ember’s Temperature Control Smart Mug will be a revelation. No longer must one carefully time the temperature sweet spot as that zone of morning tranquility extends for hours.
Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker
Of course the cup warmer is only helpful if something perfectly brewed is poured into it. Consider the Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker from Nespresso as a home or office companion that brews single servings of coffee or espresso. Note: does not include George Clooney (or the guy who looks like him).
High Fidelity Belt Drive Turntable
Nothing sounds quite like vinyl. What we love about this turntable with built-in speakers is the versatility it provides. It can be set up on it’s own or connected to a larger audio setup. It can play records or connect to a phone via Bluetooth to stream.
Callaway Golf Rangefinder
Beginner and experienced golfers alike will appreciate Callaway’s Rangefinder. Accurate with elevation changes, easy to use and functional, this will help with the mental side of the game if not someone’s swing. One of the coolest functions is that it emits a vibrating burst when locked onto a pin.
Ralph’s Club Eau de Parfum
Looking for a modern, versatile, crowd-pleaser of a scent? Look no further. Ralph’s Club Eau de Parfum is an updated take of traditional favorites. It starts with a burst of lavender before mellowing into notes of cedar with long-lasting base notes of vetiver. Any man can feel confident wearing this one.
Ode To Anubis Rust/Kohl
Our Ode to Anubis in Rust/Kohl pocket square often starts an evening in the pocket, but the glimpses of detail around protruding corners can lead to it becoming a centerpiece of conversation. Handmade in Como, Italy, the collection of natural hues look great with many winter outfits.
The Bottom Line
“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” — H. Jackson Brown Jr.
