Golf gifts are our favorite presents to buy come holiday time. Why? The gear is specialized. While generalized gifts for her, gifts for Mom, and gifts for Dad cover a whole spectrum of hobbies and interests, golf gifts for men and golf gifts for women are blissfully specific (read: practically fool-proof). 

Golfers are pretty easy to buy for since most of them are gear junkies, according to Ben Helmrath, PGA TOUR Superstore’s vice president of Hard Goods. 

“Every golfer needs gloves, a hat, and balls,” Helmrath says. They may seem basic, but balls get lost or scuffed, gloves wear out after a few rounds, and everyone loves a dope new lid. You can deftly add a little something to make the gift special. “Personalization adds a more thoughtful touch to gifts,” he says. “It creates a fun opportunity to put a message, logo, or symbol for a loved one or friend.”

Of course there are universally loved golf gifts, too, like new clubs to fight the common slice and a golf bag with a built-in cooler to keep water, beer, or non-alcoholic drinks chilled.

Everyone from casual players to fanatics are universal in their love for new golf gifts and we’ve yet to meet the player who has everything. So, whether you’re gifting the club champion or someone who embraces the game as more of a chance to hang with friends, here are 40 great golf gifts sure to please this holiday season. 

Best Golf Gifts for Everyone on Your List

The top golf gifts include clubs, tech, and equipment to improve everyone’s game.

PING G430 Max Driver

When in doubt, go for golf gifts that make an impact on performance. “Every golf junkie wants a new driver, no question,” Helmrath says. But because of the price point, some players elect to hold off on buying one for themselves. This season, treat your player to PING G430 Max Driver. It’s one of the most popular drivers with players of all stripes, thanks to better than 10K MOI, which refers to the club’s forgiveness. In the case of 10K MOI, 10,000 g-cm² is defined as the moment of inertia—in essence, the club’s resistance to twisting. Mishits fly farther and straighter than they would from a club without this technology.

Cobra Aerojet Driver

Cobra AeroJet Max uses perimeter weighting with bias toward the heel to help players hit the ball straighter off the tee. Sharper edges, a raised skirt, and symmetrical shaping all help golfers swing faster. And, as a bonus, the designers enhanced club head aerodynamics to yield three extra yards, on average. Golf is known as a game of inches, so even a few yards is a welcome advantage. 

Callaway Opus Chrome Wedge w/ Steel Shaft

If a wedge’s grooves are gone, it’s time for a new set. Those grooves provide spin and control; when they’re worn out, the precision and consistency fall-off is dramatic. Callaway Opus Chrome Wedge w/ Steel Shaft uses a new design that puts more grooves on the face, smaller offset grooves in between the traditional ones for spin on open-face shots, and a new aggressive face blast finishing, so partial shots grab hard. It’s spin for the win!

LAB Golf DF3 Putter

It’s an old golf cliche, “You drive for show and putt for dough,” but it’s true. And that makes a putter the most important club in the bag. “The putter is a fun gift because players don’t often change them out,” Helmrath says. It’s a gift that will stay with your duffer for a long time. Plus, “they’re beautiful works of art, and [brands] keep coming out with new technology.” Lie Angle Balance, or LAB putters, is a small company based in Creswell, OR, and currently one of the hottest names in golf. LAB Golf DF3 Putter is hand-balanced so the club face stays square through the arc of the stroke and at impact, helping your duffer put a better roll on the ball.

Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2

Putters are a bit like wands in the Harry Potter universe. Sometimes the wand chooses the wizard. In the instance of Scotty Cameron, the classic blade-style putters have worked their magic for some of the best players of all time. While there’s no phoenix feather or unicorn hair inside, Super Select Newport 2 is carved from 303 stainless steel, and features an I-beam neck, adjustable tungsten sole weights, and a twice-milled solid face for better roll. In layman’s terms, your player can make their ball disappear in fewer strokes.

Vokey Design SM9 Wedges

Titleist Vokey SM9 Wedges now come in more than 25 loft, bounce, and grind combinations so players can dial in performance based on their game and typical conditions. Crafted with wedge designer and revered short game advisor Bob Vokey’s three keys to great wedge play, these maximize spin, provide added distance and trajectory control, and offer shot versatility. For added personalization, the brand also offers hand stamping and engraving with numerous options of paint fill colors to match personal style. If you’re seeking custom golf gifts, look no further.

PING Hoofer 2023 Stand Bag

A good golf bag is essential for the walking golfer. But many players won’t shell out for a new one. “A lot of people think, ‘Oh, this bag is fine. I’ve had it for years and it hasn’t broken or ripped,’ ” Helmrath says. But it’s a category that’s gotten better over time: greater functionality, higher-quality materials, better designs. At 5.5 pounds, PING Hoofer 2023 Stand Bag is lightweight, features 16 pockets for gear, and comfortable padded straps to lighten your player’s load during the round. 

Callaway Chrome Soft

Golfers can never have enough balls. Even if they don’t lose them, a ball should be swapped out after nine holes—or as soon as it’s scuffed—for optimum performance. Callaway Chrome Soft balls marry a hyper-fast, soft core that yields faster ball speeds with an aerodynamically refined dimple pattern for high ball flight and low spin. The ball also features the brand’s triple track alignment aid printed around the surface to help players get their putts started on the correct line. 

Titleist ProV1 Golf Balls

Every golfer needs a reload. Fill their bag with a dozen (or two) ProV1s. The 2023 version uses a firmer outer layer wrapped around a soft inner core for added distance. The new recipe also enhances performance with flatter ball flight and less spin off the tee. That should help your duffer find more fairways and spend less time combing the rough for the ball you gave them. This is an excellent option if you’re looking for affordable golf gifts. 

Bushnell Tour V6 Shift Laser Rangefinder

“Anybody who takes golf seriously, from the most avid to somebody brand new, needs to know the distance they’re shooting to,” Helmrath says. “And a rangefinder is the way to do that.” Not only does it give golfers target distances, it provides that info so quickly it picks up the pace of play. Bushnell Tour V6 Shift Laser Rangefinder uses math to adjust the distances for elevation changes and includes a switch to turn that calculus off during tournaments. It’s water-resistant in case it rains and offers players a 6x magnification viewfinder. It’s accurate within inches of the target and vibrates when it locks onto the pin. There’s also a strong magnet that can hold onto the side rails of a golf cart.  

Titleist Players Golf Glove

Gloves wear out and players should always have a spare or two in their bag. We love Titleist Players Golf Glove. It’s made from thin Ethiopian cabretta leather for a snug, unencumbered fit that flexes with the hand. Moreover, the stitching is precisely placed for maximum connection to the club. 

PGA TOUR Superstore Lessons

PGA TOUR Superstore Lessons couldn’t be a better holiday gift for the golfer in your life. Everyone can benefit from an evaluation from a PGA-certified instructor. Choose among private lessons for one-on-one instruction, structured group programs, or a monthly clinic depending on skill level and preference. Read all about the benefits of a golf masterclass from PGA TOUR Superstore’s performance director to see why this is a gift that keeps on giving (and giving).

Arccos Starter Bundle

Today’s professionals use data to harness strengths and target problem spots in their game. Why shouldn’t your golfer? Arccos Starter Bundle comprises the Arccos Link (GEN 2) wearable shot tracker, as well as 14 Arccos Smart Sensors (GEN 3+), which sync with the award-winning Arccos Caddie app. The sensors screw into the top of each club grip to track every shot during rounds. The numbers are then distilled into shots-gained metrics that allow your golfer to better understand the state of their game. Arccos also offers a digital caddie subscription that gives advice during the round using the player’s history—plus every shot anyone has ever made using the app—to chart the best path to success. As far as high-tech golf gifts go, this is your best bet.

Clinch Birdie Brew Buddy Can Chiller

There’s nothing worse than a scorching-hot day rendering on-course beverages lukewarm after two holes. A collaboration with MiiR, Clinch Birdie Brew Buddy keeps beverages cold, adult or otherwise (no judgement), with double-wall vacuum insulation. Simply untwist the rubber gasket, drop in any 12-oz can, then screw the gasket back on. A powder-coat finish makes it easy to grip and keeps their glove from getting wet. This is also a golf gift to feel good about giving: Every MiiR product sold helps fund nonprofit organizations that empower communities and invest in the health of the planet.  

Golf Pride CPX Grips

Grips, like the tires on your car, need to be replaced every so often. Hands transfer heat, dirt, and oils, degrading the effectiveness of grips over time. A set’s lifespan is roughly 40 rounds or range sessions (aka most players need a new set annually). Golf Pride CPX Grips feature a diamond-quilted pattern in soft, subtly tacky rubber to keep hands comfortable, and grip pressure and performance consistent. This is a great stocking stuffer for golfers—not to mention it’s incredibly affordable.

Titleist Tour Double Canopy Umbrella

Not all golf gifts are sexy. Go the utilitarian route with a rock-solid umbrella. It’s essential when the weather turns unexpectedly. I like Titleist Tour Double Canopy Umbrella for its tent-like coverage. It not only shields players from precipitation with 68 inches of coverage, but a UV protective coating also protects against overexposure of sun on hot days. The foam handle stays put in a cart’s umbrella holder, plus reinforced struts and ribs keep its integrity in blustery conditions.  

WearSPF Course Essentials

Sun protection is an important precaution for any outdoor activity, especially one that lasts four or more hours. WearSPF is a sunscreen brand founded by PGA superstar Justin Thomas after his doctor discovered early-stage melanoma on his leg. To protect your player from the dangers of UV rays, hook them up with WearSPF Course Essentials—a three-pack of products to shield their face, body, and lips. The Lip Balm is minty and cooling, offering UVA/UVB SPF 30 protection. The pocket-size, water-resistant Sport Stick boasts broad-spectrum SPF 50 and is the easiest way to re-apply to the face every 80 minutes without mucking up hands. And, the broad-spectrum SPF 50 Sports Spray is stellar at protecting the arms and back of neck. Nourishing ingredients like aloe leaf juice and avocado oil keep skin feeling hydrated, not sticky.

Golf Gifts for Men

Choosing the right golf gifts for men requires a bit more familiarity with their sense of style, as well as what size they wear in apparel and shoes. 

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low G Golf Shoe

Want to give your player a bit of swagger on the course? Nike Air Jordan 1 Low G Golf Shoe puts a dose of confidence in their stride. Just like the basketball kicks, this golf version uses encapsulated air in the heel to soften every step. But as golf is a game played on grass, the sole uses an integrated traction pattern to add grip during every swing. With six colorways to choose from, finding a pair to match their unique sense of style is a sure shot. 

FootJoy Quantum Golf Shoe

For players who want a little more of a technical golf shoe, consider FootJoy Quantum Golf Shoe. They’re lightweight, breathable, and incredibly cushioned. On the inside there’s an OrthoLite impressions FitBed that molds to the foot, so your player won’t be limping by day’s end. The soles use multi-dimensional traction targets to stay planted to the turf as your player rotates through the ball.

Adidas ZG23 Vent Golf Shoes

For players who prefer traditional traction, Adidas ZG23 Vent Golf Shoes grab the ground with hard plastic spikes. Incredibly lightweight, the midsole is springy and supple. The breathable mesh upper is woven with at least 50 percent recycled plastic so not only do they keep feet fresher, but the oceans as well.

ECCO Biom C4 Shoes

For players who prefer soft spikes, ECCO makes some of the best around. Thanks to GORE-TEX technology and performance leather, ECCO Biom C4 Shoes are 100 percent waterproof while an exhaust grid in the sole vents air and moisture. Well-cushioned to keep your player’s feet comfortable, the shoes interact with the turf using three different traction patterns to boost stability and rotation through the swing. The brand now offers this model with a BOA closure rather than laces for more consistent support and easy adjustments (they just have to turn a dial).

Adidas Ultimate 365 Textured Quarter Zip

Layering is the key to late-season golf. But according to Helmrath, not just any sweater will do. Players need one that’s not just comfortable but stretches and flexes. “You want it to be something your person can easily swing in and not feel hindered.”Adidas Ultimate 365 Textured Quarter Zip is just the golf gift to keep them warm on the links. It ticks all the boxes for a golf layer: Lightweight, soft, flexible, and machine-washable. The contrasting panels on the cuffs and hem are a nice touch, too. 

Puma Boulder Quarter Zip

Puma Boulder Quarter Zip is a handsome addition to any golfer’s wardrobe, thanks to the textured double-knit jacquard fabrication. The piece will keep your player nice and toasty during a chilly round, plus it’s sophisticated and versatile enough to wear in the wider world beyond the golf course.

Radmor Douglas Stadium Pique Polo

One of the easiest golf gifts for men is a stalwart in the uniform. Golfers can never have enough polos, but most players already have a wardrobe full of solids. Consider gifting one with a pattern or a bit of panache, like Radmor Douglas Stadium Pique Polo. The contrasting color and shoulders will set your duffer apart on the course, even if their game can’t. 

Ashworth Long Sleeve Innovation Interlock Polo

Don’t call it a comeback. After Adidas pared down its golf business, Ashworth was left a bit neglected. But the brand has returned and it’s time to give it a second look. This long-sleeve polo is an iconic return to form of the original Ashworth Fred Couples polo. It’ll make a handsome addition to any player’s rotation. 

Greyson Koko Hoodie

There was a time when wearing a hoodie on the course would yield a rebuke from the marshall and perhaps an invitation to the pro shop for a compulsory change. Today, dress codes are less rigid and athleisure is everywhere. Greyson Koko Hoodie is woven from a blend of premium cashmere and wool that’s both soft and warm, perfect for a late autumn 18. This is the rare instance of golf gifts for men that go beyond the green.

Kentwool Monochrome Classic Ankle Socks

Kentwool Monochrome Classic Ankle Socks are our favorite golf socks. They have a low profile, so players can wear them with shorts or pants—plus they’re soft, comfortable, and breathe beautifully. Woven in the U.S. from merino wool, Kentwool socks stand the test of time. I’ve had a couple pairs last me years. Consider this a stocking stuffer among your golf gifts for men. 

 

Puma Arnold Palmer Thirst Quencher Adjustable Cap

Golf gifts for men don’t have to be so serious. Arnold Palmer Thirst Quencher Adjustable Cap is a cheeky tribute to the late golf legend with an embroidered image of his iconic beverage. We’d bet the bar tab he would have loved the design, however he would not have approved wearing it into the 19th hole. Remind your golfer to remove their lid when they walk inside. 

Scully and Scully Old Course Needlepoint Belt

Scully and Scully makes a number of fun, hand-stitched needlepoint belts that can play to your golfer’s other hobbies whether it be hunting, fishing or whiskey (that counts as a hobby, right?). But the Old Course Needlepoint Belt—a tableaux of the Old Course at St. Andrews backed in full-grain leather with a brass buckle—is one of the best golf gifts for men that all golfers will admire. 

Clinch Tactile Golf Glove

Clinch Tactile Golf Glove has become my go-to. Rather than traditional leather, Clinch uses a proprietary CrushGroove fabric with poly-spandex. That makes it both highly breathable and flexible; the glove moves with the hand as it grips the club. Also, unlike ones made from cabretta leather, these gloves are machine-washable and touchscreen-compatible.

RLX Long Sleeve Fleece Bear Crewneck Sweatshirt

The RLX Long Sleeve Fleece Bear Crewneck Sweatshirt from Ralph Lauren’s golf apparel line will keep your player nice and warm during cooler rounds. The iconic Ralph Lauren teddy bear injects an instant air of preppy style.

Golf Gifts for Women

The same rules apply when buying golf gifts for women as it does to men. These are great presents if you have a close relationship with the golfer and are comfortable shopping for uniform essentials. The best golf gifts for women include everything from a cashmere sweater for brisk rounds to specialized shoes that can elevate her game.

Smith and Quinn Peggy Long Sleeve Sweatshirt Pullover

Retro is always cool. Smith and Quinn Peggy Long Sleeve Sweatshirt Pullover‘s stripe design evokes a late ‘60s vibe. Constructed in a mid-weight French terry cloth, it’s a timeless throwback perfect for an autumn round or anywhere else your player might need an extra layer.

G/FORE DBL Knit Stretch Trouser

G/FORE DBL Knit Stretch Trouser is all business…the business of making birdies. These high-waisted trousers are highly stylish and incredibly versatile with a tapered leg. The fabric has four-way stretch, is water-repellent, and even boasts UV protection, making it perfect for the course. The silhouette is sophisticated enough that she can stroll straight into work after an early-morning nine and her boss won’t be none the wiser.

Le Lis Women’s GOLF V-Neck

Le Lis Women’s GOLF V-Neck is a perfect staple for your player’s wardrobe. The modern fit and long sleeves pair well with nearly any pant or skirt. The V-neck design and stretch construction makes it easy to put on if the temperature dips or take off when your golfer’s game catches fire.

Lacoste Sport Ultra-Dry Golf Skirt

Classic and versatile, Lacoste’s Sport Ultra-Dry Golf Skirt is an excellent addition to your golfer’s kit. Available in white, green, and navy, the elastic waistband and fabric are made to stretch and move with the player. Best of all, it’s got pockets. If pant sizing stresses you out, this is an easier piece of apparel to determine fit as far as golf gifts for women go.

Tory Burch Ruffle Tory Golf Sneaker

Tory Burch Ruffle Tory Golf Sneaker lends retro flair to the traditional golf shoe. Inspired by ‘70s track shoes, these are lightweight and soft, crafted from tumbled leather with suede accents. The studded rubber sole provides plenty of traction while a ruffle detail brings the panache.

PXG RP Signature Polo Dress

With a ribbed jacquard collar and sleeves, PXG RP Signature Polo Dress exudes quintessential country club style. Boasting a contemporary sports fabric and a back scorecard pocket, it’s a piece ready for the links. There’s even a detachable biker short built in for extra support and modesty during the round. This is one of my favorite golf gifts for women if they like to stick to traditional styling on the green. 

lululemon Women’s Power Stride Tab Socks

Socks are a cliche holiday gift, but everyone needs some. lululemon’s Power Stride Tab Socks have anatomical left and right toe designs and 3D-knit, stretchy fabric to better wrap the foot for activities like golf. 

Tory Burch Printed Performance Pleated Dress

The aesthetic of the 70s made a comeback in the 90s (trust me, I was there). Today, the 90s are performing their encore, which means the 70s have boomeranged once again…something only Lenny Kravitz could have predicted. Tory Burch Printed Performance Pleated Dress is retro-inspired but made the modern way with four-way stretch baked into the moisture wicking, machine-washable fabric. 

RLX Rib-Knit Cashmere Half-Zip Sweater

Ralph Lauren has been the first and last name of preppy chic for decades, but the brand knows how to make clothes that perform as well. RLX Rib-Knit Cashmere Half-Zip Sweater is a perfect layer for cooler rounds. It’s tailored in a slightly relaxed fit so it’s easier to take on and off as the weather shifts. If you want golf gifts for women that transcend sport, this is a luxe option.

Royal Albatros Golf Glove

Golf gifts for women that speak to a player’s personality is always a good move. For those who prefer a leather glove, Royal Albatros uses 100 percent precision-cut cabretta leather sealed with an adjustable velcro strap. There are plenty of vibrant colors to select. 

FootJoy MyJoys Premiere Series Issette

Only the coolest kids wear kilties! FootJoy MyJoys Premiere Series Issette golf shoes are one of our favorite golf gifts for women. They’re made of full-grain leather and are 100 percent waterproof. The outsole uses hard plastic spikes combined with rubber traction elements to maximize traction while maintaining comfort. FootJoy also offers customization, so you can dial in the perfect pair for your player’s on-course vibe. You can shop a variety of designs. I love the pop of color seen in these white and navy shoes with the fuchsia kiltie (it’s removable) and fuchsia/navy houndstooth detail on the heel. That said, you can custom design your own creation.

Radmor Michele Block Stretch Pique

The color-block sleeves, rib knit, contrasting collar, and tailored fit of Radmor Michele Block Stretch Pique polo elevates the ordinary golf uniform. But it’s still built for the game. There’s a tiny bit of elastane woven into the fabric so it stretches. The underarm is cut to enable an extended range of motion, too.

What to Look for in the Best Golf Gifts

Clubs make great gifts, but they can be difficult to get right. “The better you know your golfer and the more you know about their game, then you start getting into a club like a driver, wedge, or putter,” Helmrath says. If you aren’t confident in picking out sticks, tech, apparel and shoes work and there are racks and racks of options.

Why You Should Trust Me

I’m gear-obsessed. I’ve been reviewing golf equipment for Men’s Journal for nearly 10 years, regularly frequenting some of the top golf courses in the U.S. to test golf clubs, golf shoes, and golf tech. Like most, I’m still searching for my first hole-in-one, and these items are helping me on that quest.

While fall may be an excellent time to get outdoors, sometimes the weather isn’t optimal, and that means working out inside. Luckily, Amazon’s recent discounts make this easier than ever, with tons of great fitness deals on everything from Asics running shoes to Bluetooth earbuds and even full-sized rowing machines. But the one deal we’re most excited about is this walking treadmill that enables you to stay fit while working simultaneously—and it’s currently $180 off.

DeerRun’s Walking Pad Treadmill is now on sale for only $110 thanks to an on-page coupon that offers an additional $10 savings, making it 62% off its regular price of $290. This compact treadmill has earned well over 300 five-star ratings from shoppers who have noted that “it was ready to go right out of the box.” Over 700 have been purchased in the last month, and it currently sits as one of Amazon’s top 10 bestselling treadmills on the entire site.

DeerRun 2024 Walking Pad, $110 (was $290) on Amazon

The ultimate under-desk treadmill, this walking pad ensures you get in your daily steps, even while on the job or when inclement weather decides to rear its ugly head. Unlike tiny models from other competitors, this one is amply big enough with a spacious 20-inch width and a weight capacity of 300 pounds. It’s also very light, weighing in at just 41 pounds, which makes moving it around a breeze. Its non-slip running belt provides comfort, knowing your feet will remain under you, while the shock-absorbing pads help provide a smooth and comfortable stride. It’s portable and space-saving, and can even be controlled from an app, so you can easily track your progress.

Tons of shoppers highly recommend this walking pad. “I plugged it in and turned it on and used the remote control to get it started. It’s very quiet and smooth,” a shopper said. They also noted its durability: “I am heavier, and this walking pad was easily able to handle the weight. It’s not too heavy and easy to roll away when not in use.”

Another shopper who loved it also commended its durability. “It’s a good size, and it is sturdy,” they said. “It’s easily movable for storage, and I love that it comes with a remote.”

Watch lovers have been reveling in all of the great deals Amazon has been firing up on high-quality but very affordable watches lately. The retail giant has been bringing lots of discounted timepieces to the site from brands like Bulova, G-Shock, Seiko, and others, but there’s no brand with better deals right now than Citizen. While Amazon’s deals on Citizen watches run the gamut, the best one right now is on a classic chronograph that makes for an excellent daily driver, and it’s now under $200.

Citizen’s Garrison Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch is on sale for just $179, which is 52% off of the regular price of $375. This light-powered chronograph has earned over 500 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say that the watch is “comfortable to wear,” “keeps perfect time,” and never needs a battery. Amazon also has a slightly more upscale Citizen on sale for under $250 if this one isn’t quite what you’re looking for.

Citizen Garrison Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch in Silver, $179 (was $375) on Amazon

This beauty from Citizen will be a great addition to your everyday carry loadout because of two main factors: It’s really handsome and it never needs a battery thanks to its Eco-Drive light-powered tech. But those features are just the icing on the cake—the watch also has a stainless steel 43mm case, three-hand analog display, three subdials, a date display, and is water resistant to 100 meters. The navy-and-black dial nicely contrasts the brown leather military-inspired strap. The Eco-Drive technology will charge the permanent lithium-ion battery using any light source, and it will even store surplus energy in the power cell so it can run for months, even in the dark.

Happy shoppers have been stunned by this watch’s good looks upon opening the box. “Day one of wearing it and I have had people compliment the watch already,” a shopper said. Another shopper noted the watch strikes a nice balance of “manly yet elegant,” a testament to its versatility.

Other satisfied customers marveled at the watch’s construction for the price. One shopper called it “a well-designed, accurate watch with a chronograph function at a reasonable price.” Another shopper summed it up by saying: “The watch looks big but is the perfect size—it is surprisingly light and not bulky.”

You can never have too many watches, and this chronograph is the perfect, inexpensive, and premium-quality watch to add to the collection. It’s lightweight, great-looking, and has the legendary Eco-Drive system that will keep it ticking for a long time without the need to change the battery—plus it’s almost $200 off, so pick it up soon before the massive discount disappears. 

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was Halloween? We got back home just in time to celebrate. The fam came over, I made some tacos, and we trick-or-treated around the neighborhood. It was low key and lovely; the perfect celebration after a whirlwind of Orlando adventures.

(On our cruise, 9 of us were Wizard of Oz characters. Please take a moment to appreciate the Pilot’s Lollipop Guild costume lol)

I have SO much to say about the trip (the Reimagining Health Summit and our Disney cruise) and will put everything together into some recap posts next week. My plan was to finish them on the plane but I ended up sleeping all the way home! I was completely zonked.

This weekend is going to be a lot of fun, too: it’s the Pilot’s change of command (after three years as commander, he’s done!), our school auction, and a big event for National Charity League. Here we gooooo. I’d love to hear what you have going on!

(Wanted to share some pics of the ofrenda I put together for this year’s Día de los Muertos. I wish I could keep it up all year!)

*Also a friendly reminder to VOTE! Election Day is the last day to vote but I’m going to go today after I pick up the crew from school.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

11.1 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

My lips have been super dry with the colder weather – Tucson went from 105 to 70 overnight – and this is my go-to lip balm.

J Crew is 30% off right now and I’m looking at these straight leg jeans.

This dress!! I got it from Rent the Runway for the awards dinner at the summit, and kind of want to keep it. Perfect to dress up for a classier event, a dinner, or even dress down for work. The fabric was so dreamy, too. In stock here in black.

Read, watch, listen:

Plucking my way through Outlive. It’s very good, and I love how thorough it is, but it’s verryyyyyy dry so far. I like when authors inject a little personality, wit or humor into their work, and this one is taking me forever. Definitely ready for some fluffy fiction after this one. 😉

What tattoo would you get? I’m definitely one and done over here… and honestly regret mine a little. I like it sometimes, but also wish I could remove it for fancier events. Usually my hair hides it.

Updating your life and career to match who you are now.

Fitness, health, life, and good eats:

These bars! They were out of stock for a while because EquiLife was sourcing a new baker… and now they’re back and the texture is even better. They’re soft and cake-like, with all real ingredients, and the kids love them, too.

The chocolate is my fave, but we all love the apple cinnamon as well. If you place an order here over $149, you get a box for free! I would do a detox kit to prepare for our January detox, a full-spectrum magnesium, and an extra container of Daily Nutritional Support (I have this every single day). My code is FITNESSISTA10 if it’s your first time ordering!

The Therasage weighted blanket. I don’t think I’ve ever given this one a proper shout out on the blog, but I LOVE this thing, especially in the colder weather. I’m the type of person who can’t sleep without a real duvet – I always ask for extra blankets when hotels have just sheets on the bed, and I pack my travel weighed blanket- and the extra weight helps me get better sleep at night. If you’re an anxious person, or find yourself tossing and turning, I can’t recommend it enough. This one has crystals instead of beads, and added EMF protection. Use the code FITNESSISTA for a discount!

It just stays on my side of the bed like this:

GLP-1 impact on muscle retention.

Total body slider workout.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today!

xoxo

While travelers these days have lots of options for luggage, it’s hard to beat the simplicity and versatility of a classic duffel. They can swallow a ton of gear, and their soft sides make them ideal for stuffing into a tightly packed trunk or overhead bin. We’ve seen some great deals on duffels lately, but today we’re stoked about one in particular: REI’s highly-rated Pack Duffel Bag, which is now under $40.

The REI Co-op Pack Duffel Bag is on sale for only $35 right now, a 30% discount on its normal retail price of $50. This abrasion-resistant nylon bag has earned nearly 100 five-star ratings from REI shoppers who say it “holds a ton” and “works great as a checked bag,” too. It’s only available in one color—matte black—but REI also has its Big Haul duffel on sale, and that one comes in yellow and red.

REI Co-op Pack Duffel Bag in Asphalt/Black, $35 (was $50) at REI

The REI Co-op Pack Duffel Bag was intended to house a hiking backpack or a child car seat, but it can do so much more than that. It has a unique design compared to most other duffels. There’s a single zippered opening at one end (rather than along the top) to facilitate quick loading and unloading. It’s made from a stout nylon fabric for good durability, and when fully loaded, it measures 32-by-15-by-13 inches in a roughly rectangular shape. A carry handle and shoulder strap help you lug it around when in transit, and a clear ID window on the outside makes it easy to identify on a luggage carousel. But what’s most appealing about this multi-purpose duffel is that when you arrive at your destination, it packs down into its own internal zippered pocket for convenient storage. If you’re heading on a trip and think you’ll have more to come home with than when you left, this bag is a must-have.

The Pack Duffel has earned top marks from REI shoppers for its durable design and no-nonsense functionality—it works as advertised. “It held up well to travel and is sturdy,” said a shopper. “It also folds up fairly small, which is convenient.” Another shopper agreed, saying, “This bag is reasonably priced and does its job very well.”

One reviewer took their Pack Duffel all the way to Everest Base Camp. “Not the intended use, but the pack performed great,” they said. “It’s also excellent for getting a backpack through the airport in style, and more than worth the cost.”

While the Pack Duffel is designed for carrying an adventure pack, you can use it in all kinds of scenarios—its spacious interior can tote whatever gear you toss inside. And at just $35, it’s an affordable way to get some extra storage and luggage space. But that killer pricing won’t last forever, so don’t miss your chance to get this top-rated bag at a significant discount.

Heidi Klum held her first illustrious Halloween party in 2000. Fast-forward 24 years and the supermodel’s annual bash is more extravagant than ever. That goes for her costumes, too. Forget naughty school girl. Think outside the box—way outside—like thousands of years into the future or past. The German beauty has donned a Garden of Eden-inspired look, transformed into a futuristic alien, and even stripped down (layers of skin, that is) for a BODIES exhibit-inspired outfit.

Here are our favorite Halloween looks that Klum has rocked over the years. You won’t find easy Halloween costumes for men, but you will find some incredible partner get-ups and admire Klum as the Queen of Halloween.

2000: Dominatrix

To kick off her first Halloween party, Heidi Klum went with a dominatrix look that was sweet yet sultry. It paved the way for more elaborate costumes over the next 20 years.

2001: Lady Godiva

What better way to make an entrance than to arrive on horseback? Klum paid homage to the late Anglo-Saxon noblewoman with this getup. She donned a crystal-bedazzled bodysuit and long blonde wig to get in character.

2002: Betty Boop

Klum brought the animated cartoon Betty Boop to life for 2002’s bash. The signature curls, extra-long eyelashes, and vampy red dress were unmistakable. 

2003: Gilded Alien

One of the more abstract concepts in Klum’s array of costumes, this alien number turned heads with its shimmering gold body glitter, braided hair, and elaborate head piece. 

2004: Witch

Most people go the all-black route for a witches costume, but Klum committed to fire-engine red. Lace-up boots, a dramatic wig, and an oversized witches hat were the pièce de résistance.

2005: Vampire

A towering mass of curls, fangs, and a cascading bleeding heart took the basic vampire costume up a few notches.

2006: Garden of Eden

In 2006, Klum was the apple of everyone’s eye in this Garden of Eden-inspired costume. Her then husband, Seal, humorously dressed as Eve. Then again, who would say no to a couple’s costume with Klum?

2007: Cat

In 2007, the German beauty went with every girl’s Halloween go-to: a cat costume. Only she went the extra mile and slipped into a full body suit, complete with a tail, ears, and whiskers. A feline suitable for a catwalk—seems fitting.

2008: Goddess of Destruction

In 2008, the supermodel committed to ancient Hindu history—and a whole lot of blue paint (and arms, for that matter)—when she appeared at her annual party as Kali, the goddess of time, change, and destruction. This is one of Klum’s most well-known costumes, and came just a year before the blue-faced frenzy of Avatar hit the silver screen.

2009: Black Bird

In 2009, the America’s Got Talent judge was decked out in a feathered frock reminiscent of a certain Beatles song. The question remains: Was Klum a raven or crow? We’ll let you be the judge.

2010: Robot

In 2010, the Sport’s Illustrated model took Halloween to epic proportions, stepping into an eight-foot-tall alien costume. She was barely recognizable with purple skin and crimson hair, looking like something out of a comic book. Hero or villain, this alien transformer costume is definitely the coolest of her collection.

2011: Visible Woman

In 2011, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel ditched her clothes and undergarments and, wait for it—skin! One of her more memorable costumes, this muscle suit was eerily real. Klum looked like she walked right out of the BODIES exhibit and onto her party’s red carpet. This getup gives a whole new meaning to x-ray vision. She took to X to say, “My Visible Woman costume is my all time favorite! Martin Izquierdo made the costume and Bill Corso did my makeup!”

2011: Ape

We were lucky to witness Klum don two costumes this year. She and then-husband, Seal, dressed as apes. Rise of the Planet of the Apes premiering in August of 2011, serving as the point of inspiration.

2012: Golden Cleopatra 

In 2012, Klum decided to call off her annual Halloween bash after the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. But the former Project Runway host and judge revealed that her costume would have been a gilded Cleopatra. She posed in an extravagant headdress, necklace, and a cleavage-baring gown worthy of Egyptian royalty. Much less scary, much more glamorous. 

2013: Old Woman

In 2013, Klum really threw us for a loop with her Halloween costume. She has an excellent sense of humor—and an excellent Oscar-winning makeup team. The artists transformed the German bombshell into an old woman: age spots, varicose veins, wrinkles, and gray hair. Klum had it all. It’s pretty obvious that Klum would rather drop dead than show up to a party in an uninspired Halloween costume. 

2014: Butterfly

Kaleidoscopic wings, giant compound eyes, and a killer bodysuit to match—this Halloween costume relied equally on makeup (including body paint) and costume to pull off. 

2015: Jessica Rabbit

Icons are icons, fictional or not. Klum’s take on Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is spot on. Loads of layered prosthetics were used to give the cartoonish proportions of Jessica Rabbit’s facial features, including some major butt and bust enhancements. Purple eye shadow, gloves, and an iconic wig and dress completed the vixen’s look.

2016: Klum Clones

While not a transformation per se, Klum hit her annual Halloween party with five clones. The resemblance was uncanny–down to the height. All wore matching suede boots and bodysuits. 

2017: “Thriller” Werewolf

Instantly recognizable, Klum entertained onlookers in New York City as the werewolf from Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” music video. She had a throng of zombies in tow to really seal the deal.

2018: Fiona From Shrek

Klum and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, fully committed to the bit by donning these incredibly realistic getups. They spend hours in makeup as the crew added 15 to 20 pounds of prosthetics and accessories to make the hands, ears, and Fiona’s bust look exactly as the animation.

2019: Frankenstein Fembot

An experiment gone awry, Klum’s costume depicts an otherworldly creature freshly experimented on. Tubes, staples, and exposed organs sealed the deal on this decidedly grotesque fit.

2020: Mummy

The COVID-19 pandemic put a hiatus on Klum’s annual Halloween bash, so she celebrated with her family at home.

2021: Zombie Bride

Another DIY costume at home, Klum sprawled across tombstones with her and her husband’s names. She captioned the photo: “Until death do us part.”

2022: Worm

One of the more outlandish getups that Klum has done (and that’s saying something) is this full worm ensemble. Her husband sealed the deal as the fisherman using her as bait.

2023: Peacock

In 2023, Klum enlisted several Cirque du Soleil performers to pull off this elaborate peacock costume. One served as the base to give her height, while five others struck elaborate poses, some elevated by additional performers, to create the splayed tail feathers.

It’s no secret that tools are expensive, especially if you’re aiming to build a collection with name-brand implements from DeWalt, Milwaukee, and sometimes even Ryobi. But if you’re patient, getting high-quality tools doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg—great deals on great tools can be found. Lately, Amazon has been going nuts with discounts on Craftsman tools, and that trend continues today because the brand’s 104-piece mechanics tool set just hit its lowest price ever.

The Craftsman 104-Piece Mechanics Tool Set is on sale for just $80, which is a 50% discount on its normal price of $161. This is one of the top 20 bestselling tool sets on Amazon, and over 800 of these sets have been purchased in the past month alone by shoppers who can attest that they’re “a necessity for any homeowner” and “quality tools, as you’d expect from Craftsman.” If you’re looking for more of a robust selection, Craftsman’s larger 262-piece set is also on sale right now.

Craftsman 104-Piece Mechanics Tool Set, $80 (was $161) on Amazon

This tool set includes both ¼-inch and ⅜-inch-drive ratchets along with a full complement of sockets in both metric and SAE dimensions for both sizes. It also includes a set of hex wrenches and a handheld bit driver with a variety of bits for turning screws, tightening nuts, and more. All of the sockets and ratchets feature a full-polish chrome finish for superb durability and rust resistance. But here’s what makes this set a truly unbelievable deal: It includes a full metal three-drawer tool chest as well. Two organized drawers keep all the implements in place and within reach, and the toolbox also has empty drawers, so you can add in other tools you already own.

Amazon shoppers report this set lives up to Craftsman’s reputation for quality—these tools are the real deal. One shopper appreciated its “excellent tools” and “great value and quality,” while another shopper called it “perfect for the home.”

“It’s an overall good basic set for any mechanic starting out, or if you need a great affordable tool set for the value,” said another shopper. “The toolbox is good-quality Craftsman.”

If you want to get a job done right, you need good tools, and Craftsman is a name you can trust. A 104-piece set from such a well-regarded brand is a worthy investment for any DIYer, and at just $80, it’s an absolute steal. But these sets are selling fast, and there’s no telling how long the discount will last—get yours today before Amazon hikes the price back up.

After nearly two years of legal drama in what ended up becoming the longest criminal trial in Georgia state history, Atlanta-bred rapper Young Thug is seemingly coming home. 

On Oct. 31, the state of Georgia and Thug agreed to a non-negotiated plea deal that forces the “Pick Up the Phone” rapper to serve 15 years of probation, according to CNN. By pleading guilty to various gun and drug charges, Thug is able to avoid the 45-year prison sentence he could’ve been facing; the judge handed down a sentence of five years (which was commuted to time served in jail) and 15 on probation with the possibility of serving 20 years in custody if the terms of his probation are violated. He’s been in jail since his May 2022 arrest and is able to be released immediately.

The case dates back nearly a decade to a 2015 fatal shooting of an alleged rival gang member, as well as other alleged gun and drug crimes.

Young Thug and members of his Young Stoner Life Records crew were charged in 2022 under Georgia’s Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Among the evidence used were rap lyrics that prosecutors claimed were evidence of crimes being committed. This implicated many of his associates including rapper Gunna. 

Gunna took a plea deal and others were severed from the case entirely, leaving Thug as one of the six defendants on trial. The controversial trial became a circus involving several motions for a mistrial and a new judge being assigned to the case.

Speaking to the court in his hearing today, Thug apologized to his family and friends for what they’ve been through over the past two years and expressed his hope that he won’t have to see the judge again. He released his third album Business is Business while in jail last year, though with his freedom now secured, it remains to be seen just how long before the prolific rapper releases new music.
