Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In partnership with Buffalo Trace
Among passionate whisky drinkers, Buffalo Trace needs no introduction. Not only has the distillery won countless awards, but they’re also behind coveted ranges like Pappy Van Winkle and William Larue Weller (to name just a few). Meanwhile, their flagship whiskey is pound-for-pound the best in its class and is also far more affordable than the rarer stuff. For the discerning bourbon lover, it makes for a perfect gift.
Buffalo Trace is widely considered the best overall bourbon for Old Fashioneds, but it’s no less rewarding when sipped neat or on the rocks. From each dram comes a nose of vanilla, mint, and molasses, followed by a smooth palate of brown sugar and oak spice and then a long, dry finish. This is the kind of whiskey that only decades of experience can deliver and Buffalo Trace has been in business for nearly 250 years. Do the math, people!
Oztent Thermal Hotspot
The outdoors are calling but the weather is really freaking cold. What do you do? What. Do. You. Do. You grab one (or more) of these portable hot pouches, that’s what. Free of batteries and cables, each one offers up to an hour of cosy heat and can be reused hundreds of times.
Hoka Ora Recovery Slide 3
Available in a variety of stylish colourways, Hoka’s Ora Recovery Slide 3 generates all kinds of beneficial comfort. Each pair features ventilated airflow channels, dual-density geometry, and injection-molded EVA midsoles. Your feet will thank you.
Therabody Wave Solo
Massage, anyone? This smart and compact vibration therapy device is duly up to the task, delivering targeted treatment to reduce tension and expedite muscle recovery. Choose between three vibration frequencies as you apply it to much-needed areas on your body, relishing its innovative texture and near-silent performance. Ahhhhhhh, that’s the stuff!
Oscar Deen Pinto Sunglasses
Quality construction meets conspicuous style on the Pinto Sunglasses from Oscar Deen. Mazzucchelli acetate frames ensure absolute durability while lightweight organic plastic lenses cultivate brilliant clarity and comfort alike. Each pair also comes with a custom-made case of recycled composite leather.
Apple AirTag
Practical gifts often make for the best gifts and Apple’s mighty AirTag is nothing if not practical (and also pretty sleek). Attach one to your keyring or backpack and use an adjoining smartphone app to locate it whenever the need arises.
NOBULL Men’s Rec Trainer
Minimalist by design but maximalist in performance, NOBULL’s Rec Trainers deliver prime comfort and support within a low-profile silhouette. Featuring seamless knit uppers, anatomical insoles, and EVA outsoles in a functional Herringbone pattern, this flexible footwear is ready for intense cardio workouts, casual strolls, and everything in between. No bull, indeed!
UE Wonderboom 3
We love the massive performance and go-anywhere attitude of this deceptively compact speaker, which runs for up to 14 hours on a single charge. It’s resistant to dust and water, equipped with one-touch bass boost, and able to sync with another speaker of its kind for two-channel stereo sound. This is how you bring the party outdoors, people!
Bellroy Hide and Seek Wallet
Australia’s own Bellroy are kings of leather goods and the Hide and Seek Wallet may very well be their masterpiece. If you can’t fit all your cards and bills inside this slim EDC, then you’re rolling with too many cards and bills. A hidden storage compartment and built-in RFID protection round out its signature allure.
Twelve South HiRise 3 Wireless Charging Stand
Equal parts sleek, smart, and space-saving, this compact stand can wirelessly charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch at the very same time. Kiss clutter goodbye and say hello to your new little friend.
Craighill Wilson Keyring – Enameled
This industrial-strength EDC puts your keys in one place and looks stylish in the process. Each one is minimalist by design, forged from sturdy brass wire, and further distinguished by an enameled stripe. And did we mention you can buy it for $20 or less?
Hanz de Fuko Claymation
Why settle for an inferior styling product when you can score this nourishing “clay-wax” hybrid instead? Chock full of all-natural ingredients—including jojoba oil, castor seed oil, and sunflower seed oil—it delivers a superb hold with the perfect touch of pliability for semi-matte hairstyles.
Nikben Terry Bowling Off White
Oh Nikben, you had us at “terry towelling fabric,” the soft and breathable material from which this unisex short sleeve is made. Offered in a relaxed fit with pearl buttons and a solitary chest pocket, the shirt is an instant wardrobe staple and an ultra-clean one at that.

Cognac leather construction with premium crocodile coating lends this handsome belt its eye-catching aesthetic. To wear this accessory is to declare yourself a man of serious style who’s not afraid to get playful every now and then.
Berkeley Shirts Pablo Blake Oxford Tailored
Apparel brand Berkeley updates the classic Oxford shirt with this stylish and modern iteration. Each one is made from GOTS-certified eco-cotton to deliver the best in comfort and durability alike.
Jack Daniel’s Zippo Lighter
You don’t have to love Tennessee whiskey maker Jack Daniel’s to love this windproof zippo, though it certainly wouldn’t hurt. Crafted from brass metal with the iconic brand emblem on the front, it’s easy to refill and backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Man of Many Single Malt Whisky
Our very own co-founders teamed up with leading American distillery Westward to offer this one-of-a-kind single malt whisky. It comes straight from a single barrel and rides over the palate in waves of sweet malt and citrus fruit, with a subtle effervescence and glorious stout-like finish.

Grovemade Monitor Stand
Available in either maple or walnut, Grovemade’s wooden Monitor Stand will boost your productivity, posture, and decor in a single swoop. Each one is made by hand in the USA with the brilliant grain detail to show for it.
LEGO Creator Ford Mustang 10265 Building Kit
You can’t buy a sweet 1960s Ford Mustang for under $200, but this life-like LEGO building kit may be the next best thing. It not only replicates the muscle car to perfection, but even has customisable features like a detachable roof panel and optional add-on parts.
UGG Slippers
The name is UGG but it should be “AHH,” as in the sound one makes when rocking these plush and cosy slippers. Each pair is made from soft Australian suede with sheepskin collars, natural wool interiors, and thick EVA soles.
Christian Dior Sauvage Parfum 100ml
French luxury house Christian Dior drew inspiration from unspoiled land and crackling fire beneath an epic night sky when formulating this acclaimed fragrance. It opens warm and fresh and reveals notes of mandarin, tonka bean, and sandalwood as it unfolds.
Hammerling Wines’ Sunset Debris
From the heart of California’s Monterey Wine Country comes this effortlessly sippable sparkling rosé. Aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, the wines were then blended together and aged again inside the bottle, this time for 16 months. Effervescent notes of golden raspberry and citrus fruit demonstrate the fruitier side of Pinot Noir grapes without overwhelming the palate. This is sparkling wine done oh so right.
Trailhead Pants
We’ve just discovered the ultimate outdoor pants and we’re passing the knowledge on to you. Featuring four-way stretch and an eco-friendly DWR finish, the Trailhead Pants are waterproof, breathable, tear-resistant, anti-microbial, and ready for anything. They even pack down into the front pocket for easy transport or to double as a makeshift pillow. Like we said: ready for anything! Choose between a variety of colours and take off on your next adventure in seamless comfort and style.
Things to Consider for Under $200 Gift Ideas
When it comes to affordable gift ideas, simply wrapping a bow on a new fragrance isn’t quite enough. In fact, if you want to get the special occasion right, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Price: Perhaps the most obvious consideration, the price will inevitably play a factor in your purchasing decision. While you may want to splash out for a significant birthday or gifting event, more often than not, you’ll be aiming around the $50-$100 mark. To get the most out of your alcohol gift idea, don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price.
- Interests: Before you pull the trigger on a cheap gift, it’s important that you consider the giftee’s interests. While some ideas might be frugal, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are good.
