Men
Lululemon ABC Pant
The everyday pant we keep buying. We have worn Classic, Slim, Trouser, Jogger, and Golf styles for more than two years. They are not cheap at $128 to $148, but the cost-per-wear math works when someone lives in pants.
Read our ABC Pant review.
- Super comfortable ABC Technology (Anti-Ball Crushing), yes, you read that correctly.
- Comes in a variety of styles, colors and fabrics
- A great all-around pair of pants
- The only thing we don't like? The seam behind the knees and some inconsistent sizing (but lululemon has SUPER easy returns).
Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Tee
Our go-to tee after four-plus years of wash and wear. They hold shape and color better than a basic pack tee, without jumping to $60 boutique pricing. Easy gift when you know his size.
Read our Buck Mason tee review.
While they no longer make our favorite Tri-Blend Tee, this is almost an exact duplicate. And, it's made in America!
Amberjack Low Tops
Dressy leather sneakers that sit between ultra-casual shoes and real dress shoes. We liked them for jeans and chinos when Allbirds felt too casual. Pricier than basic sneakers, and that is the honest trade.
Read our Amberjack sneakers review.
Women
Our Women section is thinner than Men on recent full reviews. These three still have real wear notes on the site. We did not invent extra women’s products to fill the grid.
Rothy’s
Washable everyday shoes we have bought for more than four years across Points, sneakers, and Mary Janes. Recycled-bottle construction and machine washability are the real gifts. Size up half a step.
Read our Rothy’s review.
The classic Rothy's Flats. The shoe that started it all (with the Point, of course). This shoe is the classic flat that started the Rothy's brand into the stratosphere!
Lilysilk
Machine-washable Grade 6A silk we tested as a blouse, wide-leg jumpsuit, and wireless bra. The soft sleep and lounge gift that still feels special. Quality silk costs more than fleece, and we say that up front.
Read our Lilysilk review.
Vuori Performance Jogger
The softest women’s joggers we tested, softer than Lululemon Align Nulu in our wear notes, at about $84 to $88. Four-way stretch and a true-to-size fit. A favorite lounge and errand pant.
Read our Vuori Jogger review.
Kids
Kids inventory is also thinner than Men. Every pick below still has its own review. We skipped products we have not reviewed, including a few gift-guide favorites that only show up in old roundups.
Wonderbly personalized books
Personalized kids books our kids ask for by name. Thick pages survived toddler abuse in our house. Standard shipping ran about 11 days in our review, so order early for holiday delivery.
Read our Wonderbly review.
The perfect book for kids...and even some custom books for adults...
We could tell you how much we love Wonderbly. But the best Wonderbly Reviews come from our kids: they simply love seeing their own names and caricatures in their own books.
Warmies
A microwaveable comfort plush with lavender warmth. About 45 seconds in the microwave was enough in our test. Surface-clean only. Machine washing ruins the heating gel, and that catch matters for parents.
Read our Warmies review.
What's better than a stuffed animal? A warm, plush stuffed animal that smells like lavender. Get Warmies for the kids in your life. Our son gave this 114.5 thumbs up!
Bombas socks
Soft socks that actually get worn, including kid sizes in the line we tested. Easy wrap under the tree. We still stand behind the comfort and the buy-one-give-one pitch we covered in the review.
Read our Bombas review.
What you need to know:
- Super Soft
- A Wide Variety of Colors/Styles
- Great, social mission
- High-quality socks that last
- Incredible customer service
House
Hearth Display
The family organizer we check every morning. It beat the Skylight Calendar we tried first: faster, clearer, and our kids actually use it. Basics are free. Premium extras like weather widgets cost about $9.99 a month.
Read our Hearth Display review.
Featuring integration with virtually every calendar, an well-design app and even a chore chart, this is a game-changer for busy families. Use code WETRIEDIT12 to save!
Pura smart diffuser
Name-brand scents on a schedule, run from an app. After years on our wall and dozens of fragrances, it is still the scent gift we recommend when someone already likes candles. Skip it if they will never open the app.
Read our Pura review.
What's better than candles? Something that smells EXACTLY like a candle and is less expensive. We've found the world's best smart diffuser, Pura. Get Pura and enjoy scents you already know and love, like Capri Blue and many, many more.
- Many scents that you already know and love
- Inexpensive device
- Holds two scents - not just one
- Programmable with your Smart Phone
- Nightlight
- Limited coverage (but can always buy 2)
- Diffuser is frequently out of stock
Ninja CREAMi
A genuine hit in our kitchen for months. The 7-in-1 machine let our picky crew make custom ice cream and sorbet at home. It takes freezer space and a little planning. Families who will use it weekly get the value.
Read our Ninja CREAMi review.
Love ice cream but hate spending money on pints of ice cream? Get the Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker. It's We Tried It Approved.
- Easy to use
- Great for picky eaters
- A great for watching Macros
- Cheaper than buying ice cream at store
- A bit loud
- Need to freeze 24 hours before making
Gear
Two big-ticket eBike picks sit here on purpose. If the budget is smaller, jump to the XNITO helmet.
Velotric Discover 2
Comfort-first eBike wow gift. In our review the Discover 2 stepped up with a 750W motor, 28 mph top speed, and long claimed range. Best for city commuting and casual trail riding when you want a real upgrade, not a stocking stuffer.
Read our Velotric Discover 2 review.
How do you improve on the great Velotric Discover 1? It's not easy, but somehow, Velotric managed to make this bike go farther, faster, and more reliable.
RadRover 6 Plus
Fat-tire flagship eBike we scored 9.1 out of 10 in our review at $1,999. Custom-tuned motor, hydraulic brakes, and about 35 miles of range we actually hit. The second wow pick for someone who wants a trail-ready bike.
Read our RadRover 6 Plus review.
The flagship RadRover gets a massive upgrade. From a brand new frame to the dual-screen Rad User Interface, this bike keeps the spirit of previous RadRovers and but innovates in all the right places.
XNITO helmet
Our pick for Class 3 eBike riders who want speed-rated protection. Dutch NTA-8776 certified in our review, with built-in LEDs we used on evening rides. The Thousand helmet’s magnetic latch is slicker for quick on-off, and we said so.
Read our XNITO helmet review.
Our best pick for eBike Helmets. Lightweight, safe and built-in lights make it the perfect choice for eBikes and Scooters. Use code TRIED to save 10%.
