Sustainable pick
Ocean Bottle Brew Peak 20oz

A bottle that gives back

We weren’t convinced this would be the easiest bottle to clean- until we realized the lid separates into two pieces, making it surprisingly easy to clean. We also loved the 360° drinking spout- you’re never hunting around for the “right” spot to sip. The secure seal means you can toss it in your backpack without worrying about leaks. Ocean Bottle’s thoughtful design is matched by its mission: every bottle purchased funds the collection of 25 lbs. of plastic. Available in 12 oz. and 20 oz. It only comes in a couple colors, but this one was worth every penny.

Runner up pick
LUX Interlock Heavyweight Combed Cotton T-Shirt

One of the softest tees we've ever felt

If you want to impress your recipient, may we introduce you to the Lux line? With inspiration from high-end athletic apparel, this tee was created with extremely soft material and a drape that suggests it’s a lot more expensive than it is. It only comes in 6 colors, but it does range in size XS to 3XL. Read Review

Performance pick
Custom Drift Hydro Hat

Where athleisure and headwear meet

We took this bad boy kayaking, running, on the golf course, and to happy hour- it truly did it all. Lightweight, breathable, easy to clean, and completely customizable, you can choose everything from the fabric and colors to the finer details to make it truly yours. It has just enough structure to keep its shape without weird puckering or lumps. Just plan ahead, building your custom hat from the ground up takes about 90 days!

Top pick
Kotis Custom Beanie

Completely custom without sacrificing quality or budget

We tested a LOT of beanies, and we’re not bashful about our top pick being a Kotis item. The customization is next level: the whole knit in pattern can be whatever you want, along with decoration options like patches, embroidery, or a pom. It’s soft enough for all-day wear without feeling itchy, fits just about everyone we handed it to, and somehow keeps its shape. The minimum order for a fully custom beanie is 250, and the production time is about 6 weeks. But hey- all good things are worth the wait. Read Review
