True to its name, this vest is designed for long days on the golf course and the unpredictable weather that comes with them. Crafted from water-resistant fabric, it’ll keep him warm and dry during drizzly rounds, and it serves as an excellent base layer under jackets when temperatures dip. Plus, the sleek design ensures he won’t feel like the Michelin Man.

It’s official: Bulky wallets are out, slim ones are in. This one from Quince is made from real leather and can easily hold up to eight cards without strain. There’s a money clip on the inside (instead of a bill pocket) to cut down on volume, and reviewers say the quality is impressive, especially for the low price.

Not everyone wants to look like Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and we respect that. Instead of been-there-done-that aviators, Molner loves these acetate frames because they’re comfortable on the face and look sophisticated without feeling costume-y, like some sunnies do. Plus, if you stealthily snag your recipient’s eyeglass prescription, you can actually get them with custom lenses.

You’ve probably seen John doing box jumps on Katie’s Instagram, and he wouldn’t dare attempt them without his power kicks. But no matter which workout your giftee favors, these shoes will ensure they’re supported while doing it. This version of On’s Cloud shoe is Molner’s favorite because it’s waterproof and doesn’t require fiddling with laces. Molner has no time to waste tying his shoes — he’s got a media company to run! 

While golf is meant to be a quiet sport, the awkward silence of a long day on the green can be deafening: Try a a little music, to help decrease unnecessary stress during the game. This powerful speaker not only puts out serious sound, but has a built-in rangefinder for almost any local course and magnetically mounts to a golf cart, so it won’t get left behind between holes.

Listen, we’re not shaming those who still use Aqua Velva as their aftershave of choice, but we guarantee this will be a welcome upgrade. Aesop’s soothing aftershave lotion has a subtle scent, with warm notes of sandalwood and neroli. The elegant formula won’t clog pores or irritate skin, and helps prevent razor bumps and redness after shaving. 

Speaking of shaving, if he’s still keeping his toiletries in a plastic bag and tossing that in his suitcase, it’s time to help him get organized. This dopp kit, from one of John’s favorite brands, has multiple compartments to stop his toothbrush from mingling with his razor, deodorant, or whatever else he decides to stash in there.

Molner starts every morning with 10 minutes of jumping rope. He doesn’t use just any old option, of course, instead opting for this innovative version from Crossrope; he calls it “the best jump rope on the market,” which is a glowing endorsement from Katie’s right-hand man. It costs more than your average rope, but the investment is worth it for the many cardiac benefits of this aerobic activity.

Molner’s a huge fan of these airy pants with built-in sun protection. He’s taken them everywhere — from getaways to the Bahamas to stateside fishing trips. They keep your legs covered but won’t cause you to overheat, even in the summer months. And during the winter season, you can expect Molner to be sporting these while running errands and lounging around the house.

Blocking out the world all the time isn’t realistic, but everyone can benefit from the occasional quiet moment. These noise-canceling headphones offer peaceful podcast sessions and music-filled moments on noisy commutes, loud airplanes, or other distracting environments. Molner bought a refurbished model, a more-affordable option that doesn’t sacrifice quality. Amazon guarantees that the pre-owned headphones are as good as new, with no technical differences or major cosmetic flaws.

Those who follow Molner on Instagram have probably seen him sporting these shoes on the green. Despite being spikeless, they offer incredible traction, even on wet grass. Reviewers and John alike say these offer foot stability through all 18 holes. 

“I enjoy business and advice books, but there are only a few that’ve stayed with me months or years after I’ve put them down,” John says. “That’s the case with a book called Just the Good Stuff by Jim VandeHei, co-creator and CEO of Axios, and before that, Politico. He calls this his ‘no BS secrets to success,’ and his savvy way of offering insights will be relevant to anyone interested in achieving success, either career or personal.”

Say goodbye to wedging your hand between the car seat and center console to find your fallen phone. This convenient device magnetically mounts your phone to any car’s air vents, keeping it at arm’s length and making it easy to see the screen when you’re following directions. And if you’re chatting with a loved one on speaker phone, it facilitates easy (and safe) hands-free conversations.

Packing for winter travel can be a pain, especially when you know you’ll have to haul around a heavy jacket. Instead of a bulky wool coat, Molner loves this lightweight (yet extremely warm) option from Cotopaxi. It can be rolled up into a small ball without taking up too much space in your suitcase, and is great to throw on during crisp winter afternoons. 

Frequent flyers know how frustrating it is to settle into an airplane seat only to realize that they can’t watch a movie without plug-in headphones…which they probably don’t have. (Don’t most of us sport wireless buds these days, anyway?) With this device, they’ll receive the gift of being able to use their favorite noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones (instead of the cheaply made airline earbuds) anywhere they are. The AirFly is a tiny transmitter that plugs into a headphone jack, allowing you to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth on airplanes, at the gym, and more. Simply plug it in, connect your headphones, and enjoy whatever show or movie you want to binge.
