The holidays are upon us, but don’t despair. From a $500,000 Steinway designed by recording artist Lenny Kravitz to a solid copper ice ball press, Worth has a list of the ultimate gift ideas for the champion procrastinators among us. Photo courtesy of Steinway

In this the year 2 A.C. (which means “After COVID”—I just made that up; hit me on Twitter if you think it has staying power), global warming has seemingly kept winter at bay for large swaths of the country; however, although it might not look like it as you gaze out the window and can still see the green of your lawn, yes, the holidays—that annual pilgrimage to the altar of Big Retail—is upon us once again.

Unfortunately, for many of us, the realization that we are only days away from Christmas or that we may have missed Hanukkah altogether comes with a hefty dose of weltschmerz. What to get that special someone with highly refined tastes and a nose for the novel and worldly? But no need to worry—Worth has curated a list of refined, elegant, audacious or otherwise interesting gift ideas for just about every consumer-type out there. This year, some of the biggest trends are in sustainable products, renewable and clean forms of mobility and all forms of gadgetry that make our newly adopted mid-pandemic modus vivendi more manageable.

Table of Contents

Worth has reviewed hundreds of items from just about as many purveyors and narrowed down our list to a (relatively) compact suite of 67 suggestions that range from travel accessories and the latest in eco-friendly apparel to a few items that mark the absolute apex of hedonism. These items do not represent any type of ranking per se. An electric scooter, a Steinway grand piano and a high-end whiskey can all be enjoyed by the same person—just preferably not at the same time.

With that in mind, let’s get to Worth’s list of 67 last-minute exquisite gift ideas for the holidays, year 2 A.C.

Retail Price: $500,000

Steinway Kravitz Grand

The ultimate gift for the pianist in the family—a Kravitz Grand designed by the legend himself. Photo courtesy of Steinway

If you are willing to part ways with a half a million dollars to give the gift of a lifetime to the pianist in your life who exudes equal parts extravagance and cool, the Kravitz Grand will perfectly fit the bill.

For 167 years, the Astoria, Queens-based Steinway & Sons has been meticulously handcrafting high-end pianos—many of which can take many months or even years to produce. Unlike its stodgier European competitors, such as Vienna-based Bösendorfer, with each year that passes, Steinway consistently finds new ways to shake up the classical category by introducing its brand to a wider audience through its line of Steinway Limited Edition pianos. Past limited edition Steinway collaborations have seen tie-ups with an array of bold-faced names from across the artistic world such as Lang Lang, Dakota Jackson, Karl Lagerfeld and Dale Chihuly. As the name implies, these unique instruments have a very limited run; in the case of the Kravitz Grand, only 10 will be produced and seven are accounted for—so move fast if you are interested!

The Kravitz Grand, designed in collaboration with music and recording-industry icon Lenny Kravitz and his Kravitz Design team, dissected every aspect of a traditional Steinway Model B, creating a completely new look that is unlike anything Steinway has ever produced. The Kravitz Grand is inspired by the African themes utilized in paintings, sculpture and fabric design from the Paris art scene of the 1920s. The piano is comprised of 15 layers of hard rock maple and rare Macassar ebony personally selected by Lenny Kravitz for the exterior. Its presence will instantly become the centerpiece of any home conservatory or great room.

Upgrade your old fashioned this holiday season with a Meltdown Ice Press—it’s the ultimate exclusive, luxury bar tool for that libation-lover in your inner circle. By creating perfectly shaped ice spheres in under one minute with its premium patent design, it’s a surefire vector for impressing fellow imbibers with restaurant-quality craft cocktails at home. At 99.8 percent solid copper, the ice begins melting as soon as it makes contact with the press.

Although it comes with a hefty price tag, the expense is well worth it; each Meltdown comes with an iconic design that gives new meaning to the phrase ‘trickledown economics.” The cover’s cylindrical grooves visibly guide the meltwater down its sides. Watching ice melt has never been so entertaining. Even Mr. Hollywood himself, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, is in love with the Meltdown, gushing about it on Instagram.

Retail Price: $120 (750 mL)

Dalmore 15 whisky

For the classic whisky connoisseur, it’s hard to beat the Dalmore 15, a 15-year-old aged whisky designed to delight just about anyone who has a palate for the finer things in life. The spirit is initially matured in American white oak bourbon casks, which infuses the elixir with a quartet of vanilla, honey, apple and caramel notes. It is then finished in sherry casks, which add another level of complexity, rendering The Dalmore 15 a rich and well-rounded flavor with a smooth finish.Deployed in a stunning bottle, this whisky will make a statement on the shelf of any home bar.

Retail Price: $2,199

Ergatta Rower

Made for all body types and fitness levels, the Ergatta gamifies the rowing experience by creating live competitions and offering a constantly expanding library of courses. Game on! Photo courtesy of Ergatta

At first glance, it looks like it was designed by Scandinavian engineers; its chic minimalist appearance and easy upright storage capabilities enable the Ergatta Rower to blend in effortlessly in just about any living space without causing an eyesore—a key selling point for tight living space in places like New York City. Even for those of us fortunate enough to have ample square footage, the Ergatta can hold its own among the best rowers on the market. Its large 17-inch high-definition touchscreen immerses users into the experience, and before you know it, your high-intensity workout is over. Ideal for anyone looking for an easy way to get a workout—especially those who are not inclined to traditional group fitness.

Retail Price: $229

Dashcams have become de rigueur when it comes to aftermarket automotive accessories, and there is none better than the Thinkware X1000 front and rear camera bundle with Super Night Vision 3.0. Unless you, or whoever you are gifting this unit to, is particularly handy, we recommend the unit be professionally installed by Best Buy or any other professional automotive electronics installer. Either way, once the unit is ready to go, users will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with always-on flawless front and rear 2K QHD footage and parking surveillance.

Retail Price: $2,900

last-minute gifts: e-scooter

The perfect mobility tool for people on the go. Photo courtesy of Inokim

The OXO is a true workhorse (or ox) for the rider who wants long range, superior ride quality, intuitive handling and phenomenal design. With pneumatic tires and adjustable suspension, it is perfectly equipped for longer inner city commutes as well as urban and off-road adventures. The motor is surprisingly silent, fun to ride and maxes out at a top cruising speed of 28 mph. With a range of 68 miles, almost no city destination is out of reach. The roomy deck enables any number of comfortable foot stances. Best bonus feature: The OXO folds in five seconds for transport or to carry in one hand, although it’s not exactly light weight.

Retail Price: $3,999

Simply put, it is impossible to find a better treadmill on the market than the NordicTrack x32i.

The 32-inch interactive HD touchscreen is completely immersive, enabling you to feel as if you are touring the world one workout at a time. From casual jogs on the beaches of St. Lucia to dodging on-coming traffic in Hanoi to a casual stroll through the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, NordicTrack’s expert trainers keep you moving with a mix of training tips, physiology, local touristy history and personal anecdotes. Its only time before government-funded tourism boards begin pitching NordicTrack to send their film crews and trainers to their locations. (Case in point: After recently completing a virtual walking tour series of Reykjavík, Iceland, I suddenly had an urge to go there.)

Perhaps the best set of features are the intelligent sensors that match the incline and decline of the workout to the terrain you are traversing on the screen—adding to that deep, immersive feel. Once you have been on the X32i for a few workouts, its $4,000 price tag seems like a bargain. A great gift for just about anyone.

Well, we can assure you that despite its speedy maturation process, it still tastes great.

Backed by baseball great Derek Jeter, Bespoken Spirits has won numerous awards at blind tasting contests. The rye whiskey has rich notes of caramel, vanilla and spice on the nose with supporting nuances of caraway, celery and a mild smokiness.

In May 2020, the world came to a stop as cellphone video captured by Darnella Frazier, a teenage bystander who happened to be at the wrong place at the right time, emerged to show ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd by pressing his knee into the back of Floyd’s neck.
