THAT WAYGU
KC Cattle Company is a Homegrown by Heroes product, and a wonderful way to support its founder, Patrick—an entrepreneur and former member of 1st Ranger Battalion.

TREE SHOPPING SWAG
I love this backpack for Christmas tree shopping, when you’re meandering the pine trees and debating each tree’s merit. How about a little wine, to add to the festivity? The Clif Family backpack is also inspiration for starting a caroling group, and a great for those who love outdoor concerts. Info: cliffamily.com

ALWAYS TAKE BUBBLES
Anyone can grab a bottle of bubbles enroute to the soiree, but Vranken Pommery’s 2006 Cuvée Louise Brut Nature, Champane is a statement of intention. This is a grand stage upon which the terroirs delight—and the finish eschews the sometimes-cloying quality of lesser bottles, bringing a hint of soft bitterness and lemon. Info: vrankenpommery.com

DELIGHT THE HOSTESS
I’m always on the look-out for a unique hostess gift, and this year, it’s Jacobsen Salt’s Infused Saly Vials. The set includes eight salt varieties—like Pinot Noir Salt—and boasts an easy-to-wrap rectangle shape. Trust me, in the chaos of the holiday season, these small details matter!

AH, THE HOLIDAY BIRD
A Kelly Bronze turkey is special. So much so, it caught the eye of famed chef Jamie Oliver. The bronze breed of turkey fell out of favor in the 1950s, when marketing started pushing turkeys with bright white feathers. Well, the Kelly family raises these spectacular birds—free range, to full maturity—and they’re incredibly tasty.

THE GIFT OF ASSURANCE
Of course, Car and Driver’s AirX200 Tire Inflator is perfect to keep in the car, for emergencies. That aside, its compact size and adjustable PSI controls make it perfect for parents whose lives are a never-ending series of “blow-up requests.” Think sports balls, inflatable holiday yard décor, and summertime water floats.
