2021 Holiday Gift Guide

TGR Staff -11/12/2021

In putting together our 2021 we decided to follow the lead of what we did last year featuring products we have tested, personally bought, or used throughout the year. No affiliate links or sponsored inserts, each product here is something we have personally tested, used, and believe in (with the exception of the Janus Motorcycle which we will be riding soon, we just loved it too much to not include it).

From our favorite watches, boots, and books, to the only fragrance we have all universally agreed on, this list is made up of unique gift items that most men would love to find under stuffed in their stocking or perhaps parked in the garage. 

Porsche At Le Mans

Packed with photography, narrative, and race results, Porsche at Le Mans is the definitive illustrated history of Porsche's 70 years of competition in the world's greatest motor race. The perfect gift for the Porsche or Motorsports Lover in your life.
