These wool slippers are obviously first on the list and you’re not surprised; they’ve been on every geezer holiday guide since 2020 and for good reason (they last forever).
No smelly or sweaty feet in these. trust us when we tell you that’s the true key to long-lasting love.
Tip: If you think these will find their way outside the house, opt for the rubber soles. ($130 before coupon eligibility at BackCountry.com)
There’s a $10 multi-tool that hits our stocking stuffer list every year to great fanfare. If you’re looking to upgrade, this is our rec: It’s a one-and-done purchase that will last a lifetime, because the wave+ is a stainless steel powerhouse.
Among 14 other tools, it’s a wire stripper, can opener, screwdriver and a knife. ($118, Amazon)
We weren’t expecting this, but after so many of you bought yourselves the Currentbody LED mask — good choice, btw — we heard that your partners have been dropping hints that they want their own.
Everyone deserves to have their best skin. This stick on mini LED patch from Omnilux doesn’t carry the hefty price of the mask but still gets the job done on dark spots, marks, and fine lines.
Plus, you can use it too. ($95, Omnilux)
If your partner is into both home decor and home workouts, these spiffy 3-in-1 weights look more like sculpture than a gym kit — that is, you won’t mind when they leave them out. Ok, you still might. But you’ll mind less.
They’re kettlebells, dumbbells, and push-up stands in one, and keeping them on a yoga mat next next to the home office desk is a near guarantee to get a couple of sets in each day. ($50-95, trxtraining.com)
This piece is the definition of approachable luxury, and it’s currently a steal at 50% off. Todd Snyder takes his materials seriously, and his cashmere hoodie is so soft a baby could sleep in it. As an off-duty top, it’s perfect for travel, WFH, or a night out with friends (Usually $428, but $214 at toddsnyder.com)
PS: For a foolproof gift option that’s a little less pricey, Everlane’s cashmere sweater is another secret weapon.

Vacation season is upon us (and may we just say, thank g-d), and some swimsuits may need replacing. We won’t say whose. That would be rude.
These trunks by Ricki Beach Club come in 5 colorways, have a 6.2" inseam with a mesh lining, and are made from literal plastic bottles from the ocean.
Plus, we got you, our beloved Gee Thanks! newsletter subscribers, a 50% off deal! Which means that this $74 suit will cost you just $37. A small way of saying thanks for being here — and have fun on vaca! Also, take us with you!
My friend (and Geezer) Cooper says when in doubt, the answer is Aesop body and skincare.
“This holiday gift made my winter mornings infinitely more pleasant and I feel like a prince when I use the tips of my ring fingers (as my wife taught me) to gently dab Aesop sunscreen (pictured) and Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream under my tired eyes. Part of being a grown man is indulging in lovely-smelling face goop that protects you from UV rays! Look, I don’t make the rules!” ($60, but use code GEETHANKS at newsletter sponsor Dermstore for 15% off!)
