Holiday Gift Guide

The Coffee Lover’s Gift Guide

Coffee lovers tend to fall into two distinct camps: There's the "but first, coffee" crowd who simply need their daily caffeine fix. And then there are the true coffee snobs—the aficionados who obsess over single-origin beans, precise grind sizes, and water temperatures down to the degree. This gift guide spans that divide with something for everyone on your list. Whether you're shopping for the friend who waxes poetic about "notes of dark chocolate and stone fruit" while photographing their perfectly poured latte art, or your dad who just wants a reliably hot, strong cup of joe—we’ve got you covered. From sleek mugs and pour-over essentials to unexpected caffeine-infused grooming products, these are the gifts that'll deliver a bold buzz. We'll raise a cup to that.

Drops to
Watch For
 
 

Birkenstock’s Boston clog hits the big 5-0 in 2026, and the brand is celebrating by linking back up with lifestyle favorite Kith for a trio of made-to-order pairs. But this fourth drop comes with a twist. The new Braided Clogs are open only to Kith’s loyalty members, tightening the gate around an already hard-to-get collaboration. The slides retail for $295, and are available now … only on the Kith App.
