As winter sets in, a cast iron skillet proves to be the perfect tool for cooking a warm and cozy meal. Cast iron is extremely versatile, serving up everything from savory fried eggs to grilling smoky potato slices. is also perfect. Cast iron adds an old-world feel and creates a depth of flavor and aroma that non-stick can’t match. It’s timeless. I long for grilling days in the summer, but with cast iron in the winter, making dinner becomes an event on par. — Greg Migliore, Editor-in-Chief
A great gift for anyone who likes to spend the winter outdoors. Personally, I think it’s a great way to beat the winter blues.These are actually it’s kinda trendy right now, from college students to fashion tastemakers, everyone embraces the Northeast’s 100-year-old icon. The Beans aren’t the most tactical boot you can buy, and their looks are polarizing. But I’ve had a pair for a few years now and they are perfect for walking in the snowy woods with the Bean Catalog page Golden Retriever. It’s also stylish enough to wear to restaurants, holiday shopping, or at your local winter festival. I’m someone who likes to be barefoot whenever possible, but I need decent boots in the winter. — Greg Migliore, Editor-in-Chief
I love cooking, especially when it means trying new foods and techniques.fun to approach America’s Test Kitchen works on how to create interesting recipes that are easy to work with in the home kitchen and explain the science behind the process. He never actually owned an ATK book, although he always saves his ATK recipes and videos that he finds online. Hopefully that changes with this one on my list. — John Snyder, Senior Editor, Green
Currently at the top of my “really want but never need” wish list is a countertop ice maker. There is nothing wrong with the current process of making ice with plastic ice trays and freezers. But it is a manual and time consuming process. Between smoothies and iced coffee, I use a lot of ice every week, so I’m crazy about machines that save me time and effort.It’s highly rated on Amazon, but there are plenty of good options that I would have researched before purchasing. This Under $100 Model Also from Chiron.
There are a few things to consider before purchasing. It’s not a huge machine, but it has a small kitchen. Want to give up countertop space for ice maker cooking? probably. How noisy are you? If it is too loud, the timing to make ice seems to be limited. From the video reviews I’ve seen, it doesn’t feel too loud, but your actual use may vary. If there’s someone on your holiday shopping list who doesn’t like room temperature drinks, we have a cool gift idea for you. — Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager
If you’re like me, getting the right cinematic shots from your smartphone to capture that special moment is essential. So I rely on his DJI OM 5 smartphone his gimbal to stabilize the shot and not have to worry about camera shake or accidentally dropping the smartphone. The portable gimbal has a built-in extension rod, is collapsible, and can switch from horizontal to vertical shooting with the push of a button, making it ideal for TikTok and YouTube vlogging and filming. DJI OM 5’s battery life is also surprisingly consistent. With a gimbal weighing only 290g, I was able to shoot for nearly 6 hours.Also accompanied by my DJ OM 5 travel case Keep everything neat within your content. The STARTRC OM 5 case is waterproof, has a shoulder strap, and its insert is configured to hold the entire gimbal and phone. — Amr Sayor, Producer
I go off-roading every week for most of the year — in my yard, on my riding lawn mower. The yard is 1 acre and the steep and deep parts are always wet and easy to get stuck. So this Christmas, I asked for a traction board. Also great for cars when it snows. This set from Orcish has a 4.5 star customer rating and comes with mounting pins if you want to display the board on your landing rig and a storage bag if you want to store it in your trunk. A built-in handle allows you to use the board as a shovel to dig. Also, the safety he comes in a variety of colors including orange. — Greg Latha, Editor-in-Chief
If you’re not looking for the perfect game, but the gift for the gamer in your life, why not get an extra controller instead? there is. You can get it in basically any color you like, but with Pulse Red currently 15% off, that seems like the better choice than any color. Hearing gamers complain about having too many controllers will never Believe please. — Erik Maier, Multimedia Producer
Spending big bucks on gloves seems so frivolous that year after year I deal with mediocre gloves that do absolutely no job of keeping my hands warm. This year is different. Because in the long run, having good gloves that last 10 years will be cheaper than buying mediocre ones every year.
These BD Guide Gloves are something I’ve been wanting for years and are incredibly highly rated. It also comes with a Gore-Tex glove liner to keep your hands warm as well as dry. Synthetic insulation means it works even when wet and is abrasion resistant so you don’t have to worry about activities like cutting trees. They’re rated to -29 degrees Fahrenheit, so they’re ready for the kind of weather I usually go out in. Not only are they all black, but they come in cool blacks and yellows, which is my personal favorite. — Christopher McGraw, Senior Producer
We are lucky to have a park near our house and lots of trails through the woods and along streams and reservoirs. One of my favorite places, especially while running. The downside is that unless I want to drive there, I have to drive about 2.5 miles on pavement to get to the dirt trails I enjoy. That means your old trail running shoes with aggressive lugs and soft rubber are not for you. The pavement just wears out my shoes faster than I’d like. — Christopher McGraw, Senior Producer
I haven’t decided which kayak I want yet. Are you buying one specifically for fishing, or is she buying a two-seater so my daughter can go with me, or how about a whitewater kayak that takes advantage of nearby rapids? so many options. I don’t know which kayak to choose, but I know I need to carry it. That’s where the compass comes in. There are also some SUPs that I would like to drive a little more. This rack is easy because it’s easier than it is now. — Christopher McGraw, Senior Producer
