Whether he drinks it neat, on the rocks, in a simple highball, or in a refreshing cocktail, he’s sure to enjoy every sip.
For the home chef
Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Stainless Steel Air Fryer
How does an air fryer work, exactly? Does it even matter, when it crisps potatoes to perfection, sizzles coconut shrimp, and melts grilled cheese into ooey-gooey goodness? The Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Stainless Steel Air Fryer is a six-in-one kitchen gadget that air-fries, roasts, broils, bakes, reheats, and dehydrates.

For the softie
Cozy Earth Ultra-Soft Bamboo Jogger Pant
Can’t stand those ancient sweatpants of his? Instead of bugging him, simply present him with Cozy Earth’s Ultra-Soft Bamboo Joggers and watch how quickly he ditches the old ones. Nobody does comfort like Cozy Earth, and these joggers will become his everyday wear. Made of super-soft, bamboo-based fabric, they are so comfortable, they could just as easily be called loungers.
