That look of disappointment that you know all too well? Not this year.
Promising review: "I love my Imarku 8-inch chef knife! It is solid, perfectly weighted, and handles well. It arrived in a beautiful box, but more importantly, it is a well-crafted chef tool that performs. This is now my go-to all-purpose kitchen knife and I'm looking forward to purchasing more in the Imarku product line." —Kevin G Schoeler
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
Promising review: "This fits as expected, color is just perfect, and the more I wear it the more comfortable it gets because it loses the initial stiffness. I wore these jackets years ago as a kid, not sure why I stopped, but so glad to have this Levi's product back in my closet. If your thinking about buying you won't be disappointed." —Alex2018
Get it from Levi's for $62.65 (available in sizes XS–3XL and six washes).
Promising review: "In the growing world of growlers this hits the 'sweet spot' for me. In addition to just being a rugged, stainless-steel, vacuum-insulated, wide mouth, flip latch with a great rubber seal, it is the handle that has truly been the functional feature that sets it apart from many others. One hand pouring is often very appreciated while also tipping the receiving pint glass with the other hand." —Doug R.
Get it from Amazon from $50.33+ (available in two colors).
Promising review: "These are great boots. High quality, great craftsmanship. extremely comfortable. I got real picky on my next pair of boots wanted something of good quality that didn't cost $400 but also not made somewhere that took advantage of their workers. found these and it's nice to buy something made right! Go Peru!" —Matthew M.
Get them from Nisolo for $150 (available sizes 8–13 and three colors).
Promising review: "The absolute best turntable on the market under $400! Sound quality is outstanding, setup is a breeze, and it looks great! This unit has significant improvements over its $299 predecessor. It has a detachable RCA cable, a much-improved preamp, and a greatly improved anti-skate mechanism. The only give-up is the absence of reverse play which honestly almost no one uses." —Daniel J. Kobiljak
Get it from Amazon for $249.
Promising review: "Extremely high quality notebook for journaling or corporate/professional note keeping. Pocket in the back of the notebook for ticket stubs, photos, etc. Ribbon bookmark. High-quality pages and book bindings and an elastic to keep the book closed. Sleek and professional. I love the gridline version for my bullet journaling and this is the fourth notebook I have bought of this same one and I don't plan to change that." —Analei
Get it from Amazon for $17.28+ (available in four paper styles and 15 colors).
Promising review: "The workmanship on this item was really good. It has a nice leather smell. It's also the perfect size. It fit all my items with a tiny bit of room to spare. The double zipper at the top is really convenient and smooth. I also like that it didn't have too many pockets. I have bags with many pockets, but I've been trying to get away from buying those lately because it's too easy to lose things." —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my dad and he loves it. He has been using it almost daily for the last three years and carries it with him everywhere. It has proven its utility several times and the tool still looks as good as new. You cannot beat the Leatherman quality. There are some tools that are used more than others however, all the tools have been used several times by my dad and he loves it." —RJain
Get it from Amazon for $47.96.
Promising review: "This is the best sweatshirt I own. It’s durable, thick, and heavy but I can still move in it. The water-resistant protection works well and the extra pocket was a nice surprise. A must for heavy durable sweatshirts to work in! I highly recommend!" —James E.
Get it from Carhartt for $49.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and four colors).
Promising Review: "Like most people, I have a very busy schedule. When I get home, I don't feel like cooking and, I'm just an OK cook because I really don't have the patience when I'm tired after a busy day. But now I find myself looking forward to coming home and trying new things in my air fryer. I cooked a cornish hen in my 5.8 qt. fryer and it came out beautiful. I also did some chicken wings and they were delicious. I even baked a sweet potato and it was scrumptious. The fryer is very simple to use. Cooks quickly. Food tastes delicious and there is practically no clean up at all. I couldn't ask for more." —Celeste T

Promising review: "I bought my brother-in-law a subscription to Atlas and he loves it! He's always seeking out new beans on his own, so this was the perfect way to give him a variety of beans from different cultures around the world without him having to do anything! And on top of the convenience of the delivery, the coffee is amazing quality! So tasty!" —Becky L.

Promising review: "Two years in and these boots not only are holding up extremely well they are getting better. The leather and sole are now broken in and truly molded to my feet. Don't expect step-in comfort. Think of this as a high -quality baseball glove. Break-in takes time but is most certainly worth doing. Keeping up with monthly cleaning and conditioning is a joy knowing that these boots will last a lifetime. Craftsmanship is top-notch. No glue and chemicals holding everything together, just hand-guided machined stitching. Money well spent." —Orangeandblur
Get them from REI for $279.95 (available in sizes 9–12 and two colors).
Promising review: "Bought a pair of these for our long flights after growing tired of noisy EarPods and plug-ins that I had to stick into my ear. I will never go back! First, these are very comfortable over the ear. Second, turning the noise canceling on makes you realize just how loud an airplane is (very). Finally, the battery on these lasted for a very long time (made it through 13 hours of flights). I have no idea what the Bose or Sony versions are like for an extra $200-300 but I have a hard time believing they are noticeably better for a non-audiophile." —Adam B.
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
Promising review: "I loved the original Playoff Polo, but the 2.0 version offers even better feel and performance. Soft and stretchy, but firm enough to feel substantial and comfortable. The collar is soft and cool but still stands up nicely and doesn't flop over, looking sloppy. Excellent golf polo." —Shamme303
Get it from Under Armour for $65 (available in sizes S–3XL and 41 colors).
Dad talk: Randolph sent me a pair of their aviators to test out and I didn't give them much thought because I felt nothing could replace my Ray-Bans. I never saw myself as an "aviator" guy until I tried these on. I got an immediate Sylvester Stallone in the movie Cobra type of vibe (and that's a good thing IMO). Really digging how light they feel as well as the carrying bag that doubles as a smudge remover. Guess I'm a Randolph man now.
Get them from Randolph for $309+ (available in seven frame colors and 17 lens colors).
Promising review: "This shirt fits so well. I usually have a problem with the necks being too tight and the sleeves being too short on shirts. This shirt fits me really well, and the standard-fit gives me enough room to move, without me looking huge. The fabric has a thick cotton feel that's just rugged enough to feel sturdy and looks great freshly ironed. It usually comes out of the dyer pretty wrinkle-free, but I'll take a quick iron to it if I want to look particularly sharp." —Scott S
Get it from Everlane for $62 (available in standard and tall sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).
Promising review: "I've have been looking for a reliable wine bottle opener for my wine bar/cart. This looks very stylish and comes with a nice base. It comes with the foil cutter so you don't need to purchase anything extra. It stays lit up while it is on the charging base. I guess it doubles as a nightlight. Very easy to use and stays charged for quite a while. I left it off the charger for a few days and it still worked. Would be a great gift for a wine lover." —Bridget R
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
Promising review: "I love this robe. I first read the reviews which were really helpful for me to get the size and fit I was looking for. I am 6-foot-2 and 185 lbs., I wanted a hooded, long, somewhat plush soft robe to throw on after showers, to throw on to take the dog out, or just lounge around the house on pajama Sundays. I bought the XXL and it fits me like the model picture, the length is perfect hitting me around the lower shin line. The sleeves hit me just short of my wrist and the wrap is more than enough for my frame. I have already washed it several times and it's holding up well, no signs of any rogue threads just hanging around." —Michael D. Beck
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes S–6XL and 15 colors).
Promising review: "I've used the Bialetti stovetop every morning for six years and love the ease and minimalism — no cords, nice to look at. Finally upgraded from a six-cup to a nine-cup (which really makes two cups of coffee since I'm not making tiny teacups of espresso) and really happy. Make sure to follow the instructions and never immerse in cold water while still hot as this will warp the metal and affect the seal which will prevent the thing from working (trust me here, the voice of dumb experience)." —Vern Boggs
Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in six sizes).
Promising review: " I really love this cart. I have three of them now that I’m using for various things around the house. Bar cart for entertaining, printer cart for the office, and portable dishwasher cart for the kitchen. It’s made of a nice metal so it’s very sturdy. And if you want to put it away/not use it any longer it folds up nicely. If I have any other cart needs, I’ll be sure to look at this/buy it again." —Christopher D. Rogers
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two styles and six colors).
Promising review: "I installed one myself at my home earlier this year. I had no problems, and really liked how easy it is to control with Alexa. I ordered my parents this Nest thermostat for Christmas. Now they can monitor their home's temp and humidity even when they're away and can control their thermostat from their bed. They can even warm up the house before they get out of bed. My dad, who still cannot work the microwave and struggles with the Comcast voice remote, can figure out how to change the temp with the giant dial. Luckily for mom, he still doesn't know how to talk to Alexa, so she can win the temperature war." —EC
Get it from Amazon for $233.99+ (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "I will admit, I was pretty skeptical. I've had "space pens" before that could write upside down, but they were pretty poorly constructed and didn't really last. This pen, by comparison, is brilliant. It's quite small and rounded in the pocket with the cap on, which is nice and comfortable, but it also feels like a regular-sized pen when you put the cap on the other end. Also, it's sturdy. I can just drop it in my pocket and never worry about it." —Mrxak
Get it from Amazon for $24.65.
Dad talk: Growing up, I thought I'd have all this massive stereo equipment in my adult home, like speakers and subwoofers and such. But, nope, none of that. Just a Sonos One in my bedroom and a recently added One SL in the living room. I just stream my music and podcasts through my Spotify app straight to my preferred Sonos speaker. So easy. Takes up no space. I hardly notice them but when I do they always look great (and sound better).
Get it from Sonos for $179 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "I carry this thing literally everywhere I go. A funny thing about water: if it's in front of me, I'll drink it. Since this guy holds a whole liter of water, I drink several liters a day! I used to be chronically dehydrated, never drinking water because it wasn't staring me in the face. This has been such an awesome change-maker in my life. Plus, there's nothing as classic as a Nalgene." —Collegerepeat
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 21 colors).
Promising review: "I got this to charge my new iPhone 11. I have the OtterBox Commuter Series Case for iPhone 11 and have no problem charging through my case. You do have to have your phone centered on the charging pad, but it's easy to know when it's in the correct position because you will see a small blue light on the side when the pad is charging. It's extremely convenient and will be great for travel since it's so flat." —Echobunny
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
Promising review: "Tried the shirt on right out of the bag and the fabric before even a wash was amazingly comfortable. Great fit through the arms and chest and has a nice length to it. Incredibly light and smooth texture on skin. Most likely will be one of my new go-to T-shirts. I’m a new Everlane person, but they did not disappoint!" —Reframed12
Get it from Everlane for $14 (originally $18, available in sizes XS–XXL and 13 colors).
Promising review: "This thermometer is great! I used it today to cook a brisket. I put one probe in the meat and the other in the smoker. Set the alarm to go off at 160 degrees and it worked perfectly. I love having the receiver in the house while it cooks outside. Great product." —Jeffrey Erspamer
