That’s Hot

Especially on cold winter days, a Higher Dose wooden infrared sauna that’s installed in-home can feel like paradise. Devotees swear they emerge from sweat sessions feeling refreshed, relaxed, and detoxified. Starting at $7,500 at higherdose.com

Chic Cheers

Any type of tipple will look festive and beautiful when it’s served in Ghost tumblers designed by Maximilian Eicke. Precious stones inspired the handcrafted glasses, which come in six colors, and—incredibly—are safe for the dishwasher. $96/pair at maxidnystore.com

From Smoothies to Sous-Vide

We’ll always cherish our Vitamix, but we can’t get over all that the Thermomix TM6 can do. It’s a sleek all-in-one kitchen appliance that ferments, steams, blends, emulsifies, whisks, and caramelizes and will simplify the countertop so your favorite chef can focus on creating the most delicious holiday meal you’ve ever tasted. $1,500 at thermomix.com

The Boss Is Back

We all know a Bruce Springsteen superfan, and tickets are on sale now for his 2023 tour. The prices may make your head spin, but the Boss in concert never disappoints, and neither will the face on the lucky recipient who opens this gift. from $250 to $5,000 at ticketmaster.com

Always Charged

We’ve sung Anker’s praises before and confidently do so once more, now that we’ve tried the Anker 747 Power Bank. Never again will the workaholic in your life be without a fully charged laptop or phone—especially if you also give him or her a lightweight charger for emergencies. Check out Clutch—available for iPhone and Android. It’s the size of a few credit cards stacked together and will give a phone approximately one full charge. $200 at anker.com, $50 at clutchcharger.com

Cirrusly Great

Is someone in your life thinking about learning to fly? A Cirrus cockpit trainer from Noble Flight mimics the flight deck and allows for FAA-approved in-home training. Many of the hours spent with the trainer can be applied toward certification. $35,000 at nobleflightsim.com

Need a gift for someone who appreciates form as much as function? This Frank Gehry–designed Pito Kettle is a showstopper even when it’s not boiling water for tea. $610 at theglasshouse.com

Louvre Love

Here’s a way to wow the whole family: book a trip to Paris—and a tour with Paris Muse. The company offers a variety of spectacular private adventures, including a scavenger hunt inside the Louvre, a French Revolution Murder Mystery Tour, and a walk through the secret areas of Montmartre.

Fisher also makes personalized gold cuff bracelets and a variety of other baubles to fit every price point. jenniferfisherjewelry.com

The Coziest

Does someone on your list suffer from cold feet? Uggs will keep their toes warm, winter after chilly winter. We haven’t found anything softer, warmer, or more durable than these sheepskin boots, which Australian surfer Brian Smith created in 1978. The insoles can be easily refreshed as needed to allow for years of use. $170 at ugg.com

Fore!

Our resident golf expert has the sleek Samsung Galaxy 5 Pro Golf Edition smartwatch on his wish list, and we’re confident that the links lover on yours will appreciate it, too. Paired with an app on a Galaxy smartphone, it can track distance to the tee, map holes, keep score, and even log which clubs are used for which shots. All this info can also serve as fodder for lively post-game discussions in the clubhouse. $210 at samsung.com

Pilot-Level Protection

Lightspeed’s Delta Zulu Headset was created with pilots in mind, but it will make a great gift for anyone who appreciates the latest sonic technology. An app guides users through a hearing test, enabling Delta Zulu to customize sound for each ear, which is especially useful for people with hearing loss. This headset also has a built-in carbon-monoxide monitor and Bluetooth capabilities. $1,100 at www.sportys.com
