14. FOR THE COMMUTER: A TRAVEL MUG
A good travel mug is something that everyone needs, but not everyone has. It’s sure to make a great gift, especially if you give Zojirushi’s SM-KHE48. It came out on top in our testing because of its compact size and, more important, long-lasting heat retention. We left it overnight and found coffee still steamy by morning. ($30 at amazon.com)
