A Huckberry Gift for Every Person on Your List

There may be no annual tradition more daunting than finding the perfect holiday gift. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a partner, a neighbor or your crush, the internet is rife with options so plentiful that we often find ourselves both irritated and intimidated by the idea of finding that one perfect thing. If you’ve ever asked someone what they want for the holidays only to receive an “I really don’t need anything this year” response, then you know what it feels like to aimlessly look for a gift without a shred of hope that you’ll find something unique.

This year, we’re here to help you find the gifts that will never go unappreciated, and we’re relying on Huckberry’s vast collection of gear and apparel to help us out along the way. If your partner is a wannabe chef, we’ve got you covered. If your neighbor is an aspiring novelist, look no further. And if your friend has a peculiar adoration for birds, we’ve got something for them, too.

Below, our 2021 Huckberry Holiday Gift Guide with a present for every single type of person on your list.

For the Wannabe Chef: Flint & Tinder Apron

More often than not, we gift cookware to the aspiring chef in our life but an apron, while simple, adds a hint of legitimacy and sophistication to a cook’s ensemble. This one is built with waxed sailcloth from New Jersey that patinas over time, giving it an appearance that’s as refined as your cooking skills. Chest pockets, utensil pockets and a tool strap allow you to keep essentials within reach.

For the Hipster: Huckberry Beanie

Okay, so beanies aren’t solely worn by hipsters but there does seem to be a connection between those that follow the latest trends and the relentless survival of the beanie. Regardless of our opinions on fashionable headwear (or hippies), Huckberry’s beanie is equal parts soft and thick to trap much-needed warmth when you’re adventuring in the cold.

For the Writer: Bellroy Notebook Cover & Mini Pen

We have a habit of taking notes in our phones nowadays, but there’s something to be said about an old-fashioned notebook that unites pen and paper for the sole purpose of recording a thought. For story concepts, musings and random scribblings, gift Bellroy’s leather notebook that features a magnetic snap closure and room for a small pen. We also recommend picking up a three-pack of Field Notes that fit inside for countless entries.

For the Nature Lover: The Jonsteen Co. Redwood Grow Kit

The plant-lover in your life is always looking for another seedling to sprout, which is why you should gift this all-in-one Redwood grow kit. It ships with everything you’ll need to get started alongside detailed instructions, and The Jonsteen Company will replace your seed for free if it dies or fails to germinate.

For the Handyman: Leatherman Free T4

The Leatherman FREE T4, first unveiled in 2019, stands out for its slim profile and magnetic locking system that reduces friction when opening and closing tools. But more than that, it’s one of few multi-tools we can deploy with one hand thanks to the specific placement of tools on the outside as opposed to the traditional multi-tool design that hides features inside. Pick it up for the handyman in your life that’s always working on projects around the house.

For the Whiskey Drinker: Whiskey Peaks Decanter

Equal parts decanter and conversation piece, this Huckberry-exclusive vessel is made from 100 percent lead-free, handblown glass which is lighter than leaded glass and equally durable. With a hefty 34-ounce capacity, you’ll have plenty of whiskey on-hand for celebrations and casual sips alike.

For the New Homeowner: Onsen Bath Bundle

Is everyone in your life suddenly buying a home? Are you equally excited for them and worried that you’re falling behind? Then be sure to gift Onsen’s bath bundle that includes two bath towels, two hand towels and two face towels. The oversized waffle weave delivers superior absorbency and dries quickly to prevent unwanted funk, not to mention it gets softer after every wash. Enjoy these towels when you sleep at their house, which you surely will because it’s bigger and better than your studio apartment.

For the Stocking Stuffer: Flint & Tinder Wool Camp Socks

As kids, we detest the packs of socks that overfill our stockings because they feel more like a cop-out than a gift, but all that changes by the time we reach adulthood. At some point, we find ourselves craving new, fancy socks like Flint & Tinder’s Wool Camp Socks that feature the perfect blend of wool and synthetics to wick moisture and regulate temperature. The double-stripe design reminds us of days gone by when vintage socks were a statement piece.

For the Pitmaster: Looft Charcoal Lighter & Firestarter

Looft’s electric lighter and firestarter directs superheated air to ignite charcoal grills, pizza ovens and fireplaces within 60 seconds. The safety casing that reminds us of a hair curler is designed to quickly dissipate heat, ensuring your next fire won’t leave an unwanted burn. Looft added a bottle opener into the stand not because they could, but because brews and a warm blaze go hand-in-hand.

For the Friend That Has Everything: Little Building Co. Guggenheim Museum Kit

Your friend that has everything doesn’t have a 1:500 scale model of the iconic Guggenheim Museum, but they can and they should. This complete model includes exterior and interior details and comes with easy-to-read illustrated instructions to ensure they construct it right the first time. And the raw materials are sustainably sourced whenever possible. Wood glue not included.

For the Birdwatcher: Nocs Provisions Zoom Tube

No larger than a can of pop, the Zoom Tube is built with a rubberized housing that’s water-resistant and shockproof to improve durability, while the multi-coated lens offers a wide field of view to find your subject, from birds to sleepy mountain towns. Consider this for someone in your life that’s always getting lost in the woods, sometimes intentionally but mostly by accident.
