The Gift Guide: 10 Gifts You'd Be Glad to Receive
View the full The Gift Guide collection →The test of a good gift is whether the recipient would have bought it for themselves, knowing what it is. Most gifts fail this test. These ten pass.
This list skips the obvious categories — no bottles of wine, no scented lotion assortments. It's the gifts that survive the one-month check: still in use, still on the counter, still getting compliments. Priced from forty dollars to seven hundred fifty, so there's a right pick for most occasions.

Turkish cotton robe that launders into something softer at month six than month one. The weight is substantial without being heavy — the detail that separates hotel-grade from mall-grade.
