Gozney’s Rocc­box pizza oven uses a dense stone base with an insulated hood—and a wood or gas fire source—to reach the temperatures of a full pizza oven but in a smaller, portable package.


Hedley and Bennett Smock Apron ($89)

The Hedley and Bennett Smock apron has minimalist styling, a French linen build, and extra-deep pockets that swallow tools for jobs in the kitchen or yard.


Kit Santa Fe Wild Rag ($78)

The Kit Santa Fe Wild Rag is an American-made, 100 percent silk bandana that adds a dose of flair to your old grilling apron.

Rejoice! The holidays are Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA season. The balance of pine and citrus, along with a cheerily high-octane 6.8 percent ABV, make it equally suited for your family dinner table or a ski-area parking lot.


Victorinox Swiss Army Wine Master Corkscrew ($150)

The Victorinox Swiss Army Wine Master corkscrew marries the traditional tools of a classic wine opener—two-step lever and foil cutter—with a warm wood handle and capable six-inch blade, so you can elegantly cut charcuterie.


Journeyman Meat Company Meat Guild Salumi Club ($140 for an annual subscription)

We took some of Journeyman Meat Company’s Vintners truffle salumi from its Meat Guild Salumi Club on a Northern California river float. The slow-cured heritage pork’s subtle truffle flavor made it the trip’s most popular snack.


Casamigos Reposado Tequila ($50)

Casamigos roasts blue agave in a traditional oven before aging its Reposado tequila for seven months. The process imparts a smooth taste that’s heretical to mix with anything beyond a squeeze of lime. 


Zippo Armor Antique Silver Mountain Design ($62)

If you’re going to take the time to set a table with candles, have some class while lighting them. Zippo’s Armor Antique Silver Mountain Design has an aged, woodsy look that will match your rustic spread. 


Patagonia Provisions Mussels ($20 for three cans)

Patagonia Provisions Mussels are iron-, protein-, and calorie-rich as well as shelf-stable, which makes them an excellent upgrade to your wilderness menu. The smoked, lemon herb, and sofrito flavorings, paired with a simple butter cracker, feel like fine dining, whether you’re in the backcountry or the backyard.


Yeti Hopper M30 ($300)

Yeti did away with the narrow zipper closure and replaced it with two magnetic strips on the soft-sided Hopper M30, making it even easier to access your cold ones.

LifeStraw Home Carafe ($55)

Tap water is usually safe to drink, but that doesn’t mean it’s palatable. The sleek LifeStraw Home carafe will safeguard you against microplastics and heavy metals while delivering a cleaner taste.

Snow Peak Field Barista Set ($260)

From Japanese brand Snow Peak, the Field Barista Set has a stainless-steel hand grinder, pour-over, and kettle that are built to be used outdoors, but look good enough for a high-end kitchen.

Shed Pantry Box ($375)

We’ve tested dozens of spice, salt, and shrub offerings over the years. The items in Shed’s Pantry Box, including its umami-rich seaweed blend, seasonal jams, and deeply flavorful smoked onion powder, earned permanent spots in our larder.

Dewar's 15 Year Old ($40)

(Dewar's)

An award-winning scotch blend aged in both bourbon and sherry casks, Dewar’s 15 Year Old is a choice sipping whisky that begs to be served neat.

Dandelion Chocolate Hot Chocolate Mix ($18)

Dandelion Chocolate is devoted to using the best possible cacao, and it shows in its rich and thick, sustainably sourced Hot Chocolate mix.

Bulleit Rye ($26)

Bulleit Rye is complex enough to meld heirloom shrubs and imported vermouth in cocktails, yet effortless enough to pull right out of a flask by the fireside. Our favorite camping whiskey.

Anchal Diamond Tea Towel ($18)

The hand-stitched cotton Anchal Diamond tea towel adds subtle styling to the kitchen. Even better, Anchal is a nonprofit that creates careers for previously exploited and marginalized women.

Smithey Carbon Steel Farmhouse Skillet ($275)

You could hang the Smithey Carbon Steel Farmhouse skillet on the wall and never cook a thing with it if the hand-forged, 12-inch-diameter cookware weren’t so capable of delivering a perfect sear.
