Top 12 Holiday Gift Ideas 2023

#12 Cigar Sampler

Men used to go to war now they smoke vape pens (seriously, what are they even called?)

Lose the back-office vapes and channel your inner Gordon Gekko by smoking a cigar for once.

Cigar Place’s pack of 10 is great for your cigar education, plus your taste buds won’t complain too.

Shop here.

#11 Bankrupt Companies Swag

Over the last few years, we've been collecting bankruptcies like they're going out of style. From the new kids on the block like SVB, FTX, and Archegos to the OGs like Enron, Lehman Brothers, Salomon Brothers, and Bear Stearns. It's like a greatest hits album of financial faceplants.

Shop bankrupt collection here.

#10 Card Holders

It's time to embrace the sleek and chic world of card holders. If you're still carrying around a wallet that can be seen from space, it's time for an upgrade. Here are some of my top picks for wallets that won't make your pockets look like they're smuggling pitchbooks:

• LV Neo Card Holder

• Ridge Tobacco Leather

• Burberry Money Clip Card Case

• Burberry Leather Card Case

• Lacoste Leather Card Holder

#9 Oura Ring

I like most Apple products but the Apple Watch is bulky and never something I’ll wear on a night out.

The Oura ring has won me over. It's discreet and efficient, and tracks my steps without shaking my entire arm. It's the gift that whispers, "I care about your health, but please, get more sleep!" Oh it doesn’t look too bad either.

#8 Diamonds & Pearls

If you are planning to show a special someone the love they deserve, Siroo’s diamond jewelry is the way to go.

Nothing says "I adore you more than my Netflix subscription" quite like a sparkling diamond!

Whether your sweetheart is into timeless elegance or modern chic, Siroo's got a jewel for every vibe.

#7 Holiday Merch

For your upcoming holiday parties. You might get bonus points from your MD (or his ex-wife) at the your trashy holiday party at TAO.

Shop here.

For those who prefer to keep it slightly more Zen, you can check out the Wall Street candle collection here.

#6 ViewSonic Portable Monitors

If you are like me, you can’t survive with one laptop screen. I travel a lot and these ViewSonic portable monitors are a life-changer.

They're slim, lightweight, and have become my go-to travel buddy (sorry, neck pillow). With these monitors, I'm no longer squinting at a tiny screen, but living large and in charge.

#5 Le Alfré Fleece Vests

Patagonia decided it did not want to associate with finance bros anymore. Ex-finance bro, Brandon Snower (Le Alfré founder) got the memo and produced a major upgrade on the midtown uniform look. These should work well in the bullpen but also at 3am at Gospel.

Shop here.

#4 FinAnce Merch (pronounced fuh-nAnce)

If you’d like to stick to the classics this collection is for you. Works well from the bullpen to any Equinox in the city (esp the Midtown ones) to Saturday morning bagel runs.

Shop here.

The classics. The sounds good, will do is a more recent one but it's probably my preferred option given how much the pls fix thx has been butchered. It was inspired by this quote:

MD: "Nice job on the book!"

Overworked Analyst: "Sounds good, will do."

#2 Books

Some of my favorite books (new and old) from 2023:

• The Fund - Ray Dalio does not want you to read this book.

• MoneyZen - Must-read for those of us in high finánce. How much money is enough?

• 48 Laws of Power - Manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

#1: Freak in the Sheets Mug

This one is self explanatory. These Excel mugs are inspired by a popular phrase coined by Warren Buffett (??) “A lady in the streets and freak in the sheets.”
