First of all, no one is tied to their hand cream. It's not like you're buying them a new cleanser, moisturizer, or special serum. Second, the price is right. Third, it's just an incredible hand cream. Use it right before bed on your hands—I'm a freak who does feet as well—and wake up to soft extremities.

Classic Ray-Bans, upgraded for the future. Take pics, listen to music, make a call—all from the glasses.

Once New York's dreary winter season hits, nothing is more ubiquitous in the Esquire offices than the Davek Solo umbrella. Yes, it's expensive. But it will last a decade (no joke). It packs up tiny, but it's sturdy enough to handle the nastiest storms and winds.

If there's a teen or pre-teen in the family, nothing will be cooler to them than this Polaroid printer. Any image from their phone can be turned into a real photograph they can hold in their hand.

A lot of people have bad key chains, especially in my family. Hopefully they don't read this, because I'm getting everyone, five people total, a Leatherology hotel key chain. They'll all get a color that fits their personality and gold embossing for a personal touch.

For a long time, the cords behind our TV were held together by five or six zip ties. One day, my girlfriend got us a pack of these little things to replace them. We've never felt fancier.
