A red beanie (everyone looks cute in one), $58, or gloves from an alpaca farm in Montana, $23, to keep him warm all winter.
A “rip-roaring” “gorgeously reported” book about New York from 1986-1990, $30, or one of the best novels you read this year, so you can hear his thoughts.
The Magic Eye book we all went nuts over in the ’90s. (Do you think we can still do it???) $10.
Taiwanese dried fruit you know he’d love, $31 for three.
A favorite photo, framed. From $26.
Candle table lamp, from $20, for cozy nights and mornings.
A pocket puzzle, like a ripple, love, or rocket. From $15.
A gorgeous monogrammed weekender bag. I absolutely love these (it’s on my wishlist, too!). I gave one to Freddie early on in our relationship, and he’s used it for so many weekend adventures, plus everyday errands and bookstore runs. They’re 100% cotton and come in nine colors, $195. (There’s a smaller “weekday” size, too.)
A brain-teasing book full of logic games, crossword puzzles, and Spelling Bee spin-offs, to enjoy together on lazy weekends. $38.
A donation in his name to Read Ahead, a non-profit that pairs volunteer mentors with NYC kids to read together weekly during school lunchtime.
A card saying how much you love him, since that’s all he really wants anyway. $5.50/priceless.
