How to pick the right gift
- The cook: tools that last for years beat gadgets.
- The commuter or traveler: trackers, headphones and chargers.
- The desk worker: comfort upgrades he'd never buy himself.
- The weekend host: a good portable speaker.
If he's hard to buy for, pick something he'll use daily. Useful beats clever.
