Happy holidays everyone. We truly hope you have a wonderful end to what has been a dreadful year. With this in mind, this coolest stuff roundup is dedicated to Christmas gifting. There’s a whisky with proceeds going to Alzheimer and dementia charities and outerwear built for extreme weather conditions, among others. So, following on from my November roundup, I’ve compiled a list of my favourite products - that’ll also make great Xmas presents - for the month of December 2020 – enjoy.

These two new products are real collectors’ items for sports fans and drink enthusiasts as just 1,966 bottles of each spirit have been produced, while each iconic label picturing Sir Geoff in his England kit that day has been personally signed by him.
