Holiday Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List

With the holidays fast approaching, it's time to start thinking about gift shopping. It's especially important this year to get ahead of the rush and avoid unforeseen delivery delays.

Our gift guide has Christmas and Hannukah gift suggestions for even the trickiest-to-shop-for friends and family on your list. It's packed with unique, customizable gifts that won't wind up in the junk drawer.

Gifts for the Outdoor Enthusiast

This past year has seen a surge in outdoor activities. Many people are getting outside and exploring more than they ever have in the past. Being well-equipped for hiking, camping and other outdoor adventures can be the key difference between a great experience and a frustrating failure.

A tried and true outdoor companion is a Swiss Army Knife, of course, allowing your favorite outdoor enthusiasts to stash everything from a wood saw to a corkscrew without adding more than a few ounces to their pack.

A few Swiss Army Knives best for the outdoors include the Camper, Huntsman and the Explorer. Any one of these can be custom engraved by our in-house experts.

A Gift for the Smallest Swiss Army Knife Enthusiast

The Victorinox Bambino Toy Swiss Army Knife is the perfect gift for your tiny fan who has eyes on a Swiss Army Knife, but who isn't yet old enough to have a blade of his or her own. This toy, a large, plastic Swiss Army Knife, has tools that fold in and out, just like the real thing, but is equipped with implements that aren't sharp.

Gifts for the Well Groomed

For something a bit different, consider a gift that will get your dapper dad or handsome young adult started with wet shaving. Shaving brushes, shaving cream and safety razors are a great luxury (available at a reasonable price) that will help your favorite guys level up their morning routine.

Rockwell Razors, a Canadian brand, offers a starter 6 Piece Wet Shaving Kit that has everything you need to get started with a wet shaving routine, including a razor, brush, stand and their famous barbershop scent shaving cream, as well as replacement blades and a blade bank for used razor blades.

Switching to a safety razor not only allows for a better shave, it also saves money in the long run, as you can say goodbye to expensive refill blades and switch to economical double-edged safety blades.

If your favorite guy would prefer to grow out his facial hair and sport a beard, the Rockwell Razors Beard Care Gift Set is the way to go. This gift set for the bearded includes a beard brush to tame his mane, as well as beard oil to condition beards, mustaches and skin. The final piece in this 3-piece set is a beard bib to collect hairs as he trims his beard - keeping them off the counter and keeping his skin drain clog-free.
