With the gift-giving season upon us, you’re surely hearing a lot about the perfect gift for your lovely lady, your difficult nephew or your under-appreciated mom. We at DailyXY want to remind you, though, that the greatest gift, sometimes, is the one that you buy for yourself. With that in mind, we present part two of our four-part series on the best products of 2010 (Part I here).

1. Barbour Equestrian Weekender Bag
Century-old British stalwart Barbour can make more than handsome coats with its trademark ultra-durable waxed cotton. To wit: This versatile leather-trimmed travel weekender, which will age better than Julianne Moore. $320

2. Helm Ray Ray Boot (pictured)
Launched at the beginning of 2010 in Austin, Texas, Helm uses traditional shoemaking techniques, meticulously crafting their product by hand. Our favorite, the Ray Ray, is made in Istanbul with Italian leather soles and Dutch calfskin exteriors. $395

3. Aviator Chair
Reminiscent of vintage military cockpits, Restoration Hardware’s aluminum-encased brown leather seat is what you need to tie the man cave together. Old-school flying goggles not included. $1,500

4. Sir Kensington’s Gourmet Ketchup
This product aims at “disrupting one of the great remaining American monopolies” — and it might do it. Using quality ingredients (think honey, not corn syrup), Sir Kensington’s is complex, slightly spicy and downright revolutionary. $9

5. Callaway Diablo Octane Driver
Golf technology moves fast: This year, the Diablo Octane arrived, blowing the competition out of the sand trap. Made from a specially-developed forged composite material, it’s stronger than titanium, but a third the weight. $330

  1. To add to the year’s best stuff #3. The aviator chair…Restoration Hardwear makes a reasonably priced, old school pair of goggles that would complete your look in the aviator chair.

  2. What would make you say that a driver that didn’t even make the golf digest hot list blew the competition out of the trap?

  3. “you’re surely hearing a lot about the perfect gift for your lovely lady, your difficult nephew or your underappreciated mom. We at DailyXY want to remind you, however, that the greatest gift, sometimes, is the one that you buy for yourself”

    Yeah but dudes buy gifts for other dudes too. This list can be multi-purposed.

    Ketchup for all.

  4. Hi,

    I love your website! keep up the great work..

    Where can i find this Sir Kensington ketchup in Montreal??

    thanks

  5. Hey Kevin,

    Thanks! As for your question: it’s only available in a select number of stores in the United States, and hasn’t made its way north of the border at all, yet. However, their online store ships to Canada, so for now, that would be your best bet.

    Regards,
    Matt
