With sealed seams and military-inspired hardware that was chosen for absolute durability, this boot can ride with him no matter where life takes him. A waterproof membrane means warm and dry feet when trudging through the elements — or sloshing through an unprecedented freeze.

Whether he’s making family memories or making YouTube content, this is the gift of all gifts. The Pocket 2 from DJI is easily the most impressive on-the-go camera on the market right now. Pocket-sized and super portable, the Pocket 2 is equipped to stabilize movement and take sharp photos and smooth videos. If he’s into the outdoors, he’ll love being able to easy get the full skyline with 180-degree panoramic performance; if he’s more of a single-handed content creator, he’ll appreciate the built-in ActiveTrack 3.0 to make sure he’s always in focus and in frame.
