2022 Holiday Gift Guide

The 2022 Holiday Gift Guide, curated by theCut staff and writers — for you and yours.

If you look good, you feel good.

If you feel good, you play good.

If you play good, they pay good.

Deion Sanders

Here at theCut, we agree with Coach Prime, but we want to add one more to this list: If you feel good, you live good. (Yes, we know it should be live well but like play good, we wanted it to rhyme.) We broke that rule of grammar to bring you our holiday picks curated by staff and more for the barbers, style-seekers and trendsetters on your list.
