Here are gifts that hit the sweet spot between trendy and timeless, perfect for the Gen Z person in your life who probably knows about the latest cool stuff before you do.

I loved partnering with Dave Tarnowski earlier this year with my “Secrets of Adulthood.” His new book is hilarious.

This mug comes with its own dry-erase marker, so you can draw an expression to wordlessly capture your mood.

Everything “old” is new again, especially photographs. Physical photos are nostolgic for older generations and novel for younger ones.

Thousands of retro arcade games in the palm of your hand, no wi-fi needed.

I decided to bring back this favorite from last year.

A very useful gift, especially for a young person who might be out and about by themselves.

A digital video camera inspired by the iconic Super 8. There’s no playback screen, so you stay in the moment.

EVERYONE is gaming and playing together on this device. Compared to other consoles, the Switch is both versatile and portable.

Weighted blankets can improve sleep and calm anxiety.
