We’ve got the season’s best gift ideas and everyone’s checking it twice: once for the stuff they want, once for everyone else. Even Fido gets his due.

Keep Him Warm

Men won’t always admit when they’re cold. Keep your honey warm in extra frigid temps by gifting the made-in-Portugal, 100% lamb wool Barbour International Triumph Collection Endo Roll Neck sweater. If the man in your life is more of a t-shirt and jeans all year ‘round kind of guy, this Carl Gross wool jacket with removable collar will replace that peacoat that’s been hanging around for way too long. It’s perfect for any attire. Available at RENEE’s, Mattituck, (631) 298-4223
