Holiday gift guide 2026
Gifts for your dad, husband, brother or friend. Grill, coffee and gadget picks.
By Truly Good Finds · Updated October 27, 2026 · Researched picks, testing in progress
Skip it if you grill far from the house: check its real-world range first.
Look for: Range, and whether you want one probe or a multi-probe set.
Skip it if you want the slickest app.
Look for: The booster or display unit and the number of probes.
Skip it if they already own a burr grinder.
Look for: Burr (not blade) grinding and a good range of grind settings.
Skip it if you hate charging or swapping batteries.
Look for: Adjustable coarseness, a rechargeable base or long battery life, and a built-in light.
Skip it if you use Android: pick a tracker made for it.
Look for: A holder or keyring, since the tag itself has no loop.
Skip it if you want something that fits a bag pocket.
Look for: Size, a lid you can clean easily and whether the straw lid suits how you drink.
Skip it if you want a bright, sharp picture in a lit room: a TV wins.
Look for: Native resolution (not just “supported”), brightness and built-in apps.
Skip it if you only want the odd waffle: a mini maker costs far less.
Look for: Plate size, nonstick plates and how it stores. Check the listing for the current model.

Skip it if they live somewhere warm all winter.
Look for: USB-C charging, a few heat levels and an auto shut-off.
