Supreme Scandal: Unveiling The Perks Of Clarence Thomas’ Secret Gifts
What we KNOW; SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas thinks it’s morally okay to receive millions of secret financial gifts from a reported Hitler-highlighting MAGA mega-donor…whew!
According to The Hill, supremely sunken Thomas accepted a WHOPPING $4 million.
Is This An Honest Friendship To Trust?
Source: Alex Wong / Getty
BOSSIP previously reported that Justice Clarence Thomas, w significant figure in the Supreme Court since his nomination by former President George H.W. Bush, defended the gifts by emphasizing his long-term friendship with Crow. Thomas further justified his actions by stating that he had sought guidance early in his tenure on the Court.
If these trips were “nothing more than personal hospitality from close friends,” why did it take news outlets so long to uncover what is lawfully supposed to be public record? This unethical behavior coming to the limelight years later further just exposes the gravity of this predicament. And this is only one of many contested conflicts of interest for Thomas.
Thomas’ dear friend, Harlan Crow, defended his actions by asserting that his hospitality extended to the Thomases was no different from what he offered to his other friends.
What a friendship…
Media Coverage & Public Outcry For Justice Thomas To Resign
Source: Alex Wong / Getty
Democrats and legal experts have voiced concerns over Thomas’s ability to interpret and follow basic codes of conduct. There are growing demands for stricter judiciary oversight to prevent potential corruption.
The Hill states that this scandal has sparked a statement by Fix the Court’s Gabe Roth.
Justice Antonin Scalia received $210,164 in gifts from January 2004 until his death in 2016 (the second-highest recipient)
Justice Samuel Alito received $170,095 from January 31, 2006, to the present day (the third-most gifts)
All these numbers and things still aren’t adding up in the US government system. Many platforms are demanding reform. BOSSIP continues to update this story.
The Aulumu M01 looks like a cyberpunk gadget, but it’s not all style. It has a MagSafe wireless charger at the top, a 5W Qi wireless charger, plus a 10W USB-C charging port on its base. It also has a slick LED nightlight with three brightness levels. The M01 folds flat, and its MagSafe charger rotates 148° so you can prop your phone at different angles.
When planning a wedding, there’s a lot to think about, from the dress to the venue to the seating plan—and you’ve helped your teen every step of the way. Let us help take one thing off your plate with this guide to the very best wedding thank you gifts to thank anyone who has given some extra support for the big day (you included!). We’ve scoured the internet, queried our friends, and pulled from our own gift-giving expertise to put together our list of the most thoughtful, unique, and creative keepsakes to buy for bridesmaids, groomsmen, ring bearers, flower girls, and just about everyone else who pitches in on the big day.
You won’t find the same old engraved cutting boards or customized cufflinks on this list, either: These are the kinds of wedding thank you gifts that family and friends will truly love getting and will use for years to come.
Note: We are a reader-supported site and may receive compensation from purchases made through these links.
Who doesn’t love a chic pair of pajamas? One of the few traditional bridesmaid gifts we can actually get behind, a customized PJ set is useful on the wedding day and beyond. After all, friends don’t let their capable adult friends go to bed in some ratty old college T-shirt and a pair of yoga pants.
Help the bridesmaids step up their nighttime game up with something personalized, like this Birdy Grey Jonny Pajama Set, which ranges from XS to 3X and comes in over 15 colors, including muted pink, black, deep red, and a rich emerald green. Get them plain for $44, or fork over the extra $6 to put their name (or nickname) on the back, creating a keepsake that they’ll appreciate every time they drift off to dreamland.
Weddings are, in some ways, a celebration of growing up. They’re taking a big step in adult life, and doing it while surrounded by longtime best friends. Why not help the groomsmen down the path toward adulthood themselves with a smart, grown-up wallet?
These days, there’s really no need to carry anything bulky or that can be stuffed full of receipts, so we recommend the Smythson Flat Card Holder, which is made of soft, timeless leather, has five card pockets, and comes in five smart colors, including a bright red. While it’s lovely as is, for a wedding thank you gift, we recommend going the extra mile and having it personalized with their initials, their zodiac sign, or even a little drawing of a cat or dog.
While the flower girl and ring bearer might be the youngest members of any given wedding party, it can be nice to show them a slightly more “grown up” amount of respect when it comes to their thank you gift. For a flower girl, for instance, we love the idea of a matching jewelry set, plus a card that thanks them sincerely for their help and makes clear their importance to both your ceremony and your life.
This Green Peridot set of daisy-themed jewelry comes atop a nice message that both thanks the flower girl and lets her know that she’s “amazing and very, very special.” Customize the set based on the flower girl’s age and whether she has pierced ears or not.
Give the ring bearer something to do after the ceremony with their own kid-friendly digital camera. This Kidamento Digital Camcorder takes photos and videos, comes in two cute animal-friendly styles, and is wrapped in a soft silicone casing. With six hours of battery life, the camera should be ready to rock and roll right out of the box, meaning the ring bearer can start capturing memories at the reception—something that might also be a present to his parents, given that it means he’ll have something to do.
Just make sure to ask for a link to the pics he takes: While some are sure to be blurry thumb snaps, there just might be some candid gems in there that they’ll want to add to their wedding album.
Being a wedding planner is a lot of hard work, so don’t overlook them on your wedding thank you gift list. Thank them for all their time and trouble with a box of 12 Milk Bar cookies, which come individually wrapped so they can either keep all the goodness to themselves or spread it around their staff. The reusable windowed tin is packed with four of Milk Bar’s best-selling flavors, including the Compost, Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow, Confetti, and Chocolate Confetti Cookies—all of which are both delicious and a little bit decadent.
Weddings can be hard on moms (if you’ve been there before, you know). A good many of them have been waiting for and dreaming of this day, but the ceremony also means that, in some sense, their little baby is even more grown up. Remind mom that she’ll always be number one with a beautifully bound customized layflat photo album from Artifact Uprising. Available in six different sizes and three different page counts, this book can be filled with photos from all the best days with Mom, from the day she gave birth to her first Mother’s Day to college graduation. Tuck a couple of selfies in the back from the run-up to the wedding to let her know that she’s always at the top of her mind.
If there’s a fact universally acknowledged about weddings, it’s that the bride or groom’s dad will probably cry. Sure, that kind of weepiness is often attributed to moms, but more than a few dads have been known to shed a tear or two—especially when they’re walking their formerly little girls down the aisle. Why not tuck a crisp white handkerchief into a sleeve or pocket and present it when the time arises? Amazon has plenty of fun embroidered options, from ones that say “father of the bride” to ones that remind the holder to “keep [their] stuff together!”
These days, everyone’s trying to drink more water. That’s especially true the morning after a long night of boozy wedding revelry. Help everyone hydrate with a customized Yeti Rambler, which comes in eight great colors and holds up to 42 ounces of life-giving ice-cold water. This dishwasher-safe mug is cup-holder compatible for the ride home and has a reusable straw for when even tilting a cup back to drink is too much work for a tired, danced-out body. Take this wedding thank you gift to the next level by personalizing the cup with a set of initials, a monogram, or even a piece of clip art or a custom design for a creative touch.
It’s not uncommon at modern weddings for a bride to have men in her wedding party or a groom to have women in his. If a bridesman is on the wedding thank you gift shopping list, opt for a fancy, long-burning Boy Smells candle. We’re partial to Cedar Stack, which is woodsy and mysterious while also kind of neutral. This is the kind of luxury item that a lot of men (and, let’s face it, women) might not buy for themselves on the regular but that they’ll really appreciate.
While it’s possible a groomswoman would like the same customized card holder we suggested gifting above, for something a little different—but still entirely personalized—we suggest the Mark & Graham Small Jewelry Travel Case. Available in an array of colors and patterns, these square, zip-up cases are made of pebbled vegan leather with a soft linen lining, and there are multiple compartments inside for holding earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. There’s even a little mirror. To up the luxury ante even more, these can be monogrammed, which makes a very fun and necessary travel addition feel a little more luxurious.
Whether the ceremony is officiated by a priest or a pal, it’s a nice gesture to slip them a little thank you gift, like these Papier personalized notecards. Custom stationery is the kind of thing that most people probably won’t ever buy themselves, but once they get it, they’ll never want to be without it again. There are a ton of different designs to choose from, including frolicking foxes, delicate bows, and plain old black and white, so there’s sure to be something that will fit the officiant just right.
Sunday is Mother’s Day – the day mom are celebrated for all the extra effort they do to make kids life special. First celebrated in 1907, it became official in the US in 1914 and Canada in 1915. Between the two countries, spending is expected to reach an all-time high of $35.7 billion this year. Some of it will be enjoyed, some may not. Here are the 5 best Mom’s love language gifts (and one might be weed!).
This love language is all about verbal acknowledgments of affection, compliments, words of appreciation and encouragement.

Words of Affirmation
Try a special way to tell her you love her. Make a book (easy to do online) of special pictures of the two of you. Write her a letter about what she means to you. You can get her favorite podcast host or even reality TV star to send her a special Mother’s Day shoutout (check out Cameo and all the celebrities they have available). Or consider compiling a video from all the kids and family answer the question ‘why we love you.’
Receiving Gifts
These people enjoy receiving gifts and symbols of love. Monetary value is usually not important but more so the thought and reflection behind the gift.
You can spoil her with luxury and a gift she would never buy herself. While gifts don’t need to be expensive, treat her to something luxurious that you know she wouldn’t want to spend the money on for herself. Think of what she loves and work around it. Gift cards for books, music, travel, etc can show you want her to enjoy life.
Another thing, what about giving a gift which could help their sleep, mental health or manage pain. A gummy or edible would be a perfect gift. Maybe a CBD cream which could help with muscle soreness?
Quality Time
People who enjoy this love language want someone to spend uninterrupted time with them, make plans and be fully present in their conversations during these times. Give a gift of an all-inclusive day. Give a Saturday which could include brunch, a walk, and more.
Gift a unique experience. Anyone can plan brunch or a wine tasting but what about surprising mom with something special. Some ideas include a picnic or colorful charcuterie board with all her favorite foods, a self-portrait session or a local food tour.
Acts of Service
This love language includes doing favors or taking the burden off the person you are showing love to. Will cook a special meal, take them a car trip, doing garden together, anything which your Mom would love to do.
Touch
These people feel loved when they receive physical signs of affection, including kissing, holding hands, and cuddling, to name a few.
Spoil her with a gift that will make her senses go crazy. While a spa day may seem obvious here and certainly fits the bill, you can also try something unique such as dance classes or something to make her feel extra cozy such as a weighted blanket, robe or new luxury sheets.
There are many new and fun ways to spoil mom this year. Take it to the next level this time around by considering what will make them feel most loved.

If there’s one holiday that always sends me into a tailspin, it’s Mother’s Day. A whole day dedicated to my incredible, iconic and inspiring mom should be perfect and include the perfect gifts. This is why it’s so stressful coming up with something each year that’ll do her justice. Heck, I’m a shopping editor who lives online and spends hours a day scouting out the best skincare and fashion essentials around. I think my biggest issue is narrowing down what to get her. There are so many things out there! But my indecisive mind can be a good thing sometimes. Right now, for example, I rounded up every single one of my stellar gift ideas for you and everyone else online to take or use as inspo. Being flustered isn’t all bad.
I’ve learned over the years that the best Mother’s Day gifts are things that she can use and be reminded of daily. They don’t have to be lavish—though that certainly doesn’t hurt—they just have to be something that she actually likes and can appreciate. While bathrobes are always a kind thought, take your brainstorm up a notch and really think about who she is and what her daily routine looks like. If she has been in a baking mood lately like my mom has, consider gifting her with a new pan or bread mold that’ll take her creations to the next level. If she’s always keen on listening to classics, why not get her a record player and records of her favorite artists? Did she just get a well-deserved promotion after spending way too many hours a day in the office? How about giving her an adorable new work tote that she can show off to her colleagues?
See, it’s really not that hard when it comes down to it. But don’t worry. I’ll guide you through even more picks below. Whether you want a last-minute Mother’s Day present from Amazon that’ll ship to your house in 2.5 seconds, or finally have the revenue stream to gift her a luxury fragrance she’s been (not so subtly) hinting about, you’ll find the most on-brand gift for your mom below. In fact, you might even find things for your step-mom, mother-in-law and grandmother to enjoy. The more, the merrier!
Check out the best Mother’s Day gift ideas below before you’re left scrambling for something at the drugstore like last year. Yes, she could tell. No, she wasn’t mad. But it certainly should be made up for this year.

, especially since the second-generation version is on sale for under $100 on Amazon.
Apple iPad 10.9-inch Wi-Fi (2022, 10th generation)
Take it from me, moms love iPads. Every time I call my mom she’s scrolling on hers and I’m sure she goes right back to it as soon as we hang up. Surprise her with a new model or her first iPad ever, and she’ll definitely remember it as the best Mother’s Day gift of all time.

Ipsy Glam Bag
If your mom is stuck in her old beauty ways and is constantly asking you or the internet for advice on what’s hot, she’d be the perfect recipient of an Ipsy bag. It’s a beauty and skincare subscription where you can get five products a month starting at just $13. I can’t even find one beauty product at that price. These aren’t tacky or outdated items, either. Jennifer Aniston’s go-to Tatcha and Drew Barrymore’s fav Sunday Riley are just a few of the options you can include.

Lake & Skye Iris & White Orchid Candle

I’ve never seen an eye mask this large or tried one this effective. Murad’s retinol eye masks transform dull and droopy in one use, and after consistent use, can seriously get rid of hard-to-combat fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles. Trust me, I’m a fan.

Skin Gym Blue Liquid Cryocicles
These weird-looking skincare tools are actually incredible at de-puffing under eyes and treating everything from headaches to zits. Expert hack: tell your mom to place these in the fridge or freezer before use for a cooling, soothing effect.

Paint Your Life Portrait
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind Mother’s Day gift for your sentimental mom, a portrait from Paint Your Life will be a home run. They take real photos and turn them into art that can proudly be displayed for years to come. You might think that something like this would cost a fortune, but prices start at $199 and come with payment plans, so you would really only have to spend $40 if you ordered one today. What’s more, you can use code STYLE70 for $70 off your purchase to make it even more affordable.

Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Tinted Moisturizer with Niacinamide and SPF 40
I simply won’t even look at a foundation or tinted moisturizer unless it has SPF packed in. This one from Dr. Jart+is my absolute favorite. It makes my skin look dewy, moisturized, and it stays put all day. Plus, it’s not drying like some other foundations can be. I’d recommend this to anyone who has a beauty-loving mama out there.

Apple Watch SE
I don’t know what it is, but moms love Apple Watches
. They just do. If you get your mom one, you’ll become her favorite and stay that way, as long as you continue to help her with updates and new settings. I’m speaking from experience in case you couldn’t tell. It’s currently on sale for $20 off, so don’t dilly-dally!

Nourishing & Exfoliating Body Skincare Kit
Tula’s top-rated moisturizer and body exfoliator are included in the brand’s Body Skincare Kit which reviewers say is a “holy grail” for dry, patchy skin. It scrubs away flakes to unveil glistening, vibrant skin. It’s the closest thing your mom will get to a spa treatment at home—and for under $60.

Ray-Ban Rb4259 Round Sunglasses
Whoever started putting moms in the unfashionable gift corner needs to be prosecuted. Stop going for the fluffy, outdated-looking gifts and get her something as cool as she is. These Ray-Bans are sleek as hell, and match everything there is. She’ll look like the badass she is wearing these Reese Witherspoon-approved sunnies.

Lafco Blush Rose Diffuser
Flowers are nice, but this rose diffuser will give her space a beautiful scent that will last a lot longer. The Rose Diffuser from Lafco is made with damask rose, bergamot and may rose to create an authentically unique aroma. It lasts for up to four months and would look lovely in any room.

Nothing says downtime quite like a wellness routine.

Coco Mademoiselle Body Oil
If she loves fine fragrances, she’ll undoubtedly enjoy this luxe body oil. Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle is a classic among perfume aficionados and newbies alike. The orange, floral jasmine and rose notes are great to wear for the summer. No wonder it’s a Keira Knightly favorite. Save money while still smelling like the rich scent by opting for the body oil that’ll still give a lasting aroma.
Smeg Drip Filter Coffee Machine
Gift your coffee-loving momma something she’ll use and love to see with this Smeg machine
. It looks like a piece of artwork and is equally an appliance and a piece of decor.

Cariuma OCA Low Sneakers
Mom deserves only the best when it comes to staying comfy, and these sustainable sneakers will do just the trick. Their lightweight cushion technology and classic cap-toe design might turn these shoes into the only pair she walks out of the house in. We tried them ourselves and our feet can’t get enough of them, either.

Aura Carver Frame
We know moms love pictures of their family and friends, but printing and framing a bunch of images isn’t always that easy. Instead, level up with Aura’s Carver digital picture frame . You can upload images to the frame from anywhere and at any time. She won’t be able to take her eyes off of the precious memories you’ve carefully curated for her.

Artifact Uprising Photo Desk Calendar
If you’ve already given your mom several photo albums and want to try something new this year, give her a personalized photo calendar. She can display it on her desk to check the date, but she’ll also be reminded of her favorite memories with you.

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle
Your tea-loving mom might already have a kettle she uses every day, but does she have one that also happens to be Kourtney Kardashian-approved? This electric kettle will help make Mom’s life so much easier in the morning, since all she has to do is turn it on, choose a temperature for her water, and wait for the built-in timer to let her know when she can start enjoying her tea.

When it comes to celebrating your mom for all she does, you want to choose a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift. And while every mom appreciates any present from her kids, it’s the creative and unique Mother’s Day gifts that hit the sweet spot!

For this Mother’s Day list, I included some tried-and-true favorites that I love having in my own home, and as some unique options from small businesses.
Celebrate Mother’s Day with unique gifts that show how much you care. From heartfelt jewelry to pampering self-care items to cute home decor, there’s something special for every mom. Plus, by choosing these gifts, you’re also supporting talented artisans and small business owners!
This cute, monogrammable zippered jewelry case makes a lovely gift for moms who travel, are often on the go, or need a safe place to store jewelry while working. Made from vegan leather, they are available in several colors and can be customized to include mom’s initials.
These Mystery Date Cards from an Amazon small business, Da Vinci’s Room, do double duty as a gift for mom and her partner. Choose from the “Staying In” or “Going Out” editions, which each offer 52 date ideas and conversation starters for couples to enjoy quality time together and break away from routine while deepening their bond and creating lasting memories.
The faux fur throw blanket from Saranoni is an ideal Mother’s Day gift, offering unparalleled luxury with its soft, lush fabric. I have them practically everywhere around my house! Its extra-large size ensures maximum snuggle potential for cozying up during movie nights or adding a soft touch to any bed or sectional. Even better: By shopping at Saranoni, you’re supporting a family-owned business begun by a mom to help cover her daughter’s medical expenses.
The Staub 3-Piece Ceramic Baking Dish Set makes an excellent gift for moms who love to cook (which, if you’re looking for a gift on my site, I have to assume is true of your mom). With three nesting rectangular dishes in different sizes, it provides options for various culinary needs (I use mine all the time). The glass porcelain-enamel finish in red or navy not only adds a beautiful touch but also ensures high scratch resistance, but what I especially like are the easy-to-grip handles. It’s simply one of the best ceramic bakeware sets you can find!
This slim wooden caddy elevates Mom’s precious bath time with compartments for holding her essentials like a book, tablet, wine, snack, or her phone. Its waterproof and non-slip design is crafted from natural bamboo with elegant wood grain details, providing durability and safety in any bathroom sanctuary.
Begun as a passion project by a new mom, Made by Mary jewelry is a gift you’ll feel good about giving. The Love Disc Necklace offers elegance and personalization. With the options to customize with two initials and a symbol and to choose from two disc sizes, two necklace lengths, and three finishes—sterling silver, gold-filled, or rose gold-filled—it’s a meaningful keepsake that allows moms to carry cherished memories close to their hearts.
Some moms are old-school when it comes to cooking, preferring books to blogs (shocking, I know!). If this describes your mother, this cookbook holder’s slanted design and metal ledge allow easy reading and keep cookbooks securely in place. The natural wooden finish and metallic accents add farmhouse-inspired charm to any kitchen. And if she needs a cookbook to go with it, I might be a little partial to this one!
The portable design of the Resteck Neck and Back Massager makes it a great gift for on-the-go use, whether during road trips, traveling, or at the office, providing Mom with much-needed relaxation wherever she goes. She can choose from several kneading sensations as well as whether to put the heat on or off to make the most of any downtime she has.
Whether filled with nourishing smoothies, refreshing iced teas, or decadent coffees, this set of four classy bamboo-lidded glasses with glass sipping straws makes drinks look as good as they taste. And with no plastic in sight, your mom can feel good about serving her latest concoction to friends and family.
You can’t give Mom a fountain of youth, but you can make her feel like a million bucks with these under-eye patches infused with actual gold! They tout anti-aging benefits by preventing wrinkles and sagging skin, while also targeting puffiness and dark circles with hydrating hyaluronic acid. But perhaps the most precious gift is the 20 uninterrupted minutes she gets to spend with her eyes closed while they do their thing.

This cool, single-purpose device connects to your phone and displays album art. Instead of a standard screen, it uses a grid of 4096 individual RGB LEDs to create artful, pixelated images. It works with iOS and Android devices and is compatible with Spotify, Apple Music, Sonos, and last.fm.
Trying to find the best gift for guys in their 20s can be a challenge, to say the least. Whether he’s a new graduate, a new husband, or even a new dad, he can be very particular about the things he uses and wears. He likes what he likes—and in some cases, he’s still trying to figure out exactly what that is. Maybe it’s some cool new joggers for hitting the gym, or maybe it’s the latest AirPods for when he’s gaming with his buddies.
To help, we’ve rounded up the best gifts for guys in their 20s, whether you’re shopping for your son, son-in-law, or boyfriend. No matter what he’s into—from cooking and eating to traveling and working out—he’s sure to love any one of these ideas. Even better: There’s something for every budget, including a few inexpensive options should you want something small.
If he’s still rocking knock-off AirPods or, worse, corded headphones, now is a great time to upgrade him to the real deal. The latest AirPods are both sweat- and water-resistant, with an impressive battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge. More importantly, they have incredible audio quality for when he’s jamming out to the latest Drake album, making them one of the best gifts for guys in their 20s.
Vuori has become the activewear brand this year—and the brand’s top-rated Sunday Performance joggers are proof of why. They’re made of a stretchy and moisture-wicking polyester blend that’s just as good for hitting the weight room as it is for lounging around the house. Plus, they have pockets galore for all his things. Available in seven colors—from charcoal to dusty pine—the pants come in men’s sizes S to XXL.
When it comes to drinkware, you really can’t beat a Yeti. And the Rambler tumbler is one of the brand’s most popular cups in its line-up. Available in 19 colors, including camp green, charcoal, and navy blue, the stainless steel double-insulated tumbler will keep his drink of choice ice cold or piping hot for hours and even days on end.
If he’s like most 20-somethings, his phone is his most prized possession. Help him keep it charged no matter where his travels take him with this Anker power bank. Its super slim and lightweight design makes it easy to toss in his bag or pocket as he heads out the door, and it’s powerful enough to keep all his devices running on full battery all day long.
Maybe he already has a skincare routine or maybe, well, he needs one. Regardless, this set of essentials from Jack Black is worth adding to his bathroom cabinet. It includes a facial cleanser, face moisturizer, lip balm, and exfoliating face scrub—all in TSA-approved sizes, so it’s even great for travel. One of the best gifts for guys in their 20s, this is something he’ll appreciate after graduating from Axe.
This isn’t your average belt. Made of tactical-grade webbing that’s as tough as it is comfortable, the Groove Life belt features a unique magnetic clasp that makes putting it on and taking it off a breeze. It’s available in 17 buckle and belt color combinations, with hues ranging from black and stone to bronze and flat earth.
The name says it all: This blanket is big. Measuring 10 feet by 10 feet, it offers more than enough room for him and whoever he’s deemed worthy of movie night, whether that’s his significant other, his whole family, or his buds. The soft and stretchy throw—which also happens to be temperature-regulating—comes in a variety of colors and prints.
Socks may sound like a boring gift, but hear us out. These Bombas calf socks are made of quality moisture-wicking Merino wool that will keep his feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They’re stylish enough to wear with dress shoes, yet comfy enough to rock in athletic sneaks, too. Bonus: For every pair of socks purchased, Bombas donates a pair to those in need.
Give him the gift of a better shave with a subscription to Dollar Shave Club. To start, he’ll get the brand’s famous stainless steel razor blades—which have a built-in beard trimmer—along with a diamond grip handle and assorted shave products. From there, he’ll be treated to replacement blades delivered right to his doorstep every month.
Few hats are as iconic—or as trendy—as the Carhartt beanie right now. Everyone from workers and outdoorsmen to influencers and celebs are wearing it. Made of a stretchy rib knit material, it’s equal parts breathable and cozy, so it’s one of the best gifts for guys in their 20s. Even if he already owns one, he could definitely use another, especially since the hat comes in 40 colors, from classic Carhartt brown to atomic blue.
When he’s working from home or just kicking back on a lazy Sunday morning, he’ll want a pair of cozy slippers. And it doesn’t get much better than the Ugg Ascots. With a durable suede exterior and rubber outsole, they’re lined with Ugg’s famously soft and plush shearling that’s the equivalent of walking on clouds. The slippers come in eight colors, including black, chestnut, and forest.
There’s a reason Solo Stove fire pits have gone so viral—they’re just that good. If he lives in a house or apartment with an outdoor space, the smokeless Bonfire fire pit is the perfect excuse to have his buddies over for a beer. It’s easy to light and even easier to clean, and gives off more than enough warmth for those chillier fall evenings.
Any beer drinker would be thrilled to unwrap the GrowlerWerks uKeg. Thanks to the double-wall insulated stainless steel and pressurizing carbonation cap, it keeps beer fresh for weeks. He can enjoy a cold one on tap without ever leaving his house, and can even switch out the tap handle for that of his favorite lager.
If he’s the person who’s always losing his keys or who can never find his wallet, there is no better gift than an Apple AirTag. The 1-inch disc connects seamlessly to his iPhone (or any Apple device) so he can track whatever it’s attached to, from his luggage to his laptop. Not only can he see its location at all times, he can use the alert feature to notify him whenever it’s not where it’s supposed to be.
He puts hot sauce on everything, thinks Sriracha should be its own food group, and is obsessed with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. To put it simply, he loves spice. And so he’ll love this hot sauce sampler set, which comes with 30 mini bottles of gourmet hot sauce. Some of the varieties he’ll get to test out include ghost pepper, mango habanero, and chipotle cayenne bacon.
There are speakers, and then there are Sonos speakers. The sound quality of the beloved Sonos Move is almost unbeatable for a portable Bluetooth speaker. Not only is it weather-resistant with 11 hours of run time, but it also has Amazon Alexa built-in, so you can operate it hands-free (great for backyard parties!). It’s expensive, sure, but well worth the splurge.
If he fancies himself a pitmaster or even if he just loves having people over for a backyard barbecue, he will love the Meater Plus. This smart meat thermometer is completely wireless, so he can monitor his meat—whether he’s grilling, smoking, or roasting—from anywhere right on his phone through the app. The Meater is incredibly easy to use and has a range of over 1,000 feet. It even gives him updates on cook times and notifies him when his meat has reached a safe temperature.
The Lululemon men’s section is full of hidden gems. Like the Pace Breaker linerless shorts, which are made of the brand’s famous sweat-wicking fabric. Designed to move with you, the shorts are great for any physical activity and even feature hidden no-bounce pockets for added convenience. They come in 13 colors and prints—including chambray and abstract multi-colored—and in three different lengths.
Help him start—or complete—his home gym setup with a pair of Bowflex adjustable dumbbells. Each one adjusts up to 52.5 pounds with just a simple twist of a dial. Not only are they easy and comfortable to use, but they take up a lot less room than a full rack of weights, making them ideal for any guy with limited space to work with. Now he has no excuse to skip leg day.
The Ridge wallet just might be the most unique—but also the coolest—men’s wallet. Made of scratch-resistant aluminum, it’s sleek and minimalist, with enough room to hold up to 12 cards plus cash. The elastic expands to make room for whatever he needs to carry with him. Most importantly, it’s RFID-blocking, so he’ll stay protected on the go.
Fact: Every man needs a good multitool. And it doesn’t get much better than the Leatherman Wingman, which is crafted of premium stainless steel. It has 14 tools in one, including wire cutters, pliers, screwdrivers, and even a bottle opener. It’ll come in handy for camping trips, outdoor adventures, or even just everyday tasks.
There’s no such thing as owning too many sweatshirts. Add to his growing collection with this classic Vineyard Vines quarter-zip, which is the brand’s most popular pullover, and one of the best gifts for guys in their 20s. Embroidered with the signature whale logo, it’s made of the softest cotton blend and comes in a variety of preppy hues and prints, from sky blue to nautical stripes.
Duck, venison, even alligator—those are just a few of the jerky varieties he’ll find in this exotic meat box from ManCrates. Dubbed “the feast of the beast,” it has six unique jerky flavors, along with nuts like juniper rosemary peanuts for snacking. He’ll have a blast sampling all the meat the next time a midnight snack craving hits.
He has the iPhone, the Apple watch, the iPad—now he just needs somewhere to charge them all. Give him just that with this classy charging station from Etsy. Made of solid wood, it has enough room for all of the above, along with additional hooks and slots for pens, keys, and the like. You can even have the dock engraved with his name and/or monogram.
Ray-Ban sunglasses are almost guaranteed to never go out of style, so they are one of the best gifts for guys in their 20s. Where there are a bunch of timeless frames to choose from, the Clubmasters are a fan favorite for their retro-chic silhouette, lightweight, and 100 percent UV protection coating. Bonus: They come in a wide range of frame and lens color combinations, so there’s something for everyone.
Whether he’s an avid gym-goer with constantly sore muscles or a 9-to-5er who is always complaining about his aches and pains, he can benefit from a Theragun. This mini massage gun has three different attachments and three speeds designed to relieve soreness and knots in even the toughest-to-reach places. The compact portable design makes it ideal for travel or tossing in his gym bag, too.
For the gamer in your life, the Nintendo Switch is an obvious choice. It’s arguably the gaming system of the last year, and it’s finally back in stock. Whether he’s into Mario Party or Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (or something else entirely), he can play all his favorite games at home or on the go with the portable handheld Switch. It has a bright OLED screen, a large storage capacity, and a long battery life.
Save him from both an expensive daily Starbucks habit and a subpar cup of coffee at home with this portable espresso maker. It’s incredibly easy to use and doesn’t require any batteries or electricity—it’s completely hand-operated. He can brew up the perfect espresso in seconds, whether he’s on his daily commute or hiking in the backcountry.
Goldbelly is, well, the gold standard when it comes to food delivery services, making it one of the best gifts for guys in their 20s who love food. From a filet mignon dinner to boozy ice cream to an authentic New York City bagel brunch, there’s something for every foodie to enjoy. He can choose from hundreds of gourmet goodies from top restaurants and bakeries all around the country, including treats from famous chefs like Guy Fieri and Geoffrey Zakarian.
Owning a genuine leather weekender bag is basically a rite of passage for a 20-something man. This Mark & Graham duffel is made with some of the highest quality leather and features both a carrying handle and an adjustable shoulder strap. You can also have it monogrammed for a personal touch. It comes in four colors: chocolate, camel, rustic brown, and deep green.
Valentine’s Day is one week away, so needless to say, it’s crunch time. Not to stress you out or anything, but the time to order those last-minute gifts is now. I know we’ve all barely recovered from holiday gift shopping, but time marches on. The deadline has already passed on some retailers’ sites but there are still plenty of options that will arrive before February 14—from the likes of Shopbop, Nordstrom, and Net-a-Porter, to name a few excellent ones.
Valentine’s Day gift shopping is a little tricky as stereotypical “cutesy” gifts can be difficult to avoid, but I think I did a great job of finding cool gifts for the holiday, if I do say so myself. So scroll on while there’s still time to get something good for your loved ones—or treat yourself to a Valentine’s Day gift of your own choosing. You deserve it.
A guest of mine who I made a good impression on, apparently, decided to gift me this gold plated dollar bill. It’s legal tender in several places, honest to god, but I’m going to get it graded and then professionally framed and put in my office. With this and the Lions winning tonight, I’m doing pretty damn good lately.
Pro tip: The end of the holiday season is, by far, the best time to find beauty gifts at smart prices (and we know there’s a good chance you’ll still be giving presents well into the New Year). December comes and goes in a flurry, often resulting in a missed opportunity for a heartfelt gift or two, but who said holiday shopping should be stressful or challenging? Sometimes, the best finds come when you least expect them.
With the help of my fellow beauty editors, I’ve compiled a list of the 25 best makeup, skincare, haircare, and fragrance products to consider gifting a loved one with across a wide range of different price points. We’ve even provided customer reviews to ease your decision-making process.

You ask the average person in London what Boxing Day is and you get a variety of answers. It is the day you get drunk with the people you like, or it is the day you recover from family. Or is it a holiday where you can rest after Christmas? What is Boxing Day and how did it start? It is definitely more than another holiday shopping day. But why did come about and do only the Brits get to enjoy it?
For Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other Commonwealth countries it is public holiday. Most offices are closed on this day if it is a weekday and adds to the nice long Christmas break.
In parts of Europe, such as several regions of Spain, the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Romania, Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Slovakia,[4] Slovenia, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, and in the Republic of Ireland, 26 December is Saint Stephen’s Day, which is considered the second day of Christmas. But is is a different holiday and background than Boxing Day.
During the Victorian era, the upper class and aristocracy would box up leftover food, money, gifts and goods and give them to their tradesmen, servants and others who provided reliable service all year.
It is a wonderful sentiment which has been a bit forgotten. Today, Boxing Day in the UK and Commonwealth is more known for leftovers, relaxing and the Boxing Day Sales.
It was more philanthropic and family oriented up until WWII. A gradual shift occurred during the economic boom after the second world war as the British slowly got back on their feet. Retailers realized it was a chance to drive traffic and sales. By the mid-1950, consumer expenditure increased and the competition between retailers intensified. Now it is similar to Black Friday in the US with stores opening early, big markdowns on a few products and big crowds.
So today is a day to either kick back and join the throngs of shoppers. Either way – have fun!
