Editor’s pickLamy
For the note-taker and letter-writer
A piston-filling fountain pen in fiberglass and brushed stainless steel, with a 14K gold nib and small windows that show the ink level. A quietly modernist pen meant for years of notes and signatures.
Skip it if he wants the convenience of ink cartridges; this pen fills only from a bottle

Baxter of California
For the man who shaves wet
A natural badger-hair brush that holds water well, helping build a richer lather than fingers alone. A small upgrade that turns a daily shave into more of a ritual.
Skip it if he uses an electric shaver or keeps a full beard

Baxter of California

A fragrance-free, oil-free moisturizer for normal to oily skin that absorbs quickly and dries to a matte finish, which suits the man who dislikes the feel of lotion.

Bellroy
For the man with a worn-out bifold
A slim bifold in leather from Leather Working Group tanneries, with four quick-draw slots, room for 5–12 cards, a coin pocket and a hidden section for spare bills. RFID blocking is built in.

Fellow
For the curious coffee drinker
A plastic-free pour-over kit: the Stagg [X] dripper, a double-wall glass carafe and 20 filters, with a built-in ratio aid for one or two cups. An easy way into slower weekend coffee.
Skip it if he relies on pods or needs a full pot every morning

Time Resistance
For the frequent weekend traveler
Handmade in Italy from full-grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide with YKK zippers and a tear-resistant lining; one roomy compartment about ten inches long. Each piece takes on its own grain.

Bellroy
For the man who carries only cards
A heat-bonded leather card sleeve with a magnetic closure and an ultra-thin pull tab, holding six to eight cards once broken in. In our view, the cleanest swap for a bulky wallet.
Skip it if he still carries coins or a lot of cash most days

Fellow
For the pour-over devotee
A gooseneck electric kettle with to-the-degree temperature control, hold mode, scheduling and a brew stopwatch, designed for a slow, steady pour-over. Just as useful for tea.

UGG
For the husband who is always cold
A full-length hooded sherpa robe with a self belt and side pockets, cut in a relaxed fit. In our view, a warm robe is the kind of everyday comfort people rarely buy for themselves, especially for cold mornings.
Skip it if he runs warm or lives somewhere mild; sherpa fleece is a cold-weather fabric

Time Resistance
For the man who still carries a bag to work
Full-grain Italian cowhide with a cotton lining and YKK zippers; two compartments fit a 15-inch laptop and A4 files, with an organizer panel and a detachable shoulder strap.

A single-dose electric grinder with 64 mm flat burrs and 31 settings for pour-over, drip, French press and cold brew; it shuts off on its own when finished. Not made for espresso.

Bose
For the frequent flyer
Over-ear noise-cancelling headphones with up to 30 hours of play, spatial audio and USB-C audio for calls. In our judgment, the travel upgrade he'll notice most on a long flight.
