Gift Guide #4: Your Boyfriend or Husband Who Never Met a Pasta Recipe He Didn’t Love.

A cashmere sweater to cozy up to, or matching sweaters for the two of you! 20 colors here. From $99.

Smoked salmon trio, $62, to feel whisked to the Pacific Northwest.

Kehinde Wiley playing cards, $30, for gin rummy games after dinner.

A few years back, everyone in NYC seemed to be wearing Santal 33 fragrance, and it’s great for sure, but my new fave is Hinoki. The scent is warm, woodsy, smooth and sexy. (One five-star reviewer called it “a banger.”) I would love to smell this while kissing a handsome gent! Hand pomade for $33, body cream for $57.

Spaghetti sweatshirt, $55.

Or a spaghetti dad hat, $38.

Herbal yet balanced Engine gin, $30, with four Italian martini glasses, $37.

A fun truth-or-dare game, $27, and a wink.

The book everyone went ape for this year, described as “spellbinding” and “electrifying.” $24.

Cool pasta shapes, $25 for four — or a monthly subscription, from $110 — maybe wrapped up with a fun cookbook.

We have this Vacation air freshener in our car and almost every single person who gets in goes nuts and immediately asks where they can get one. It’s sexy and beachy, even in the dark winter. Alternately, a New Jersey tomato.

Cherry red socks that you can steal, $24.

A romantic dinner, just the two of you, no kids allowed.

P.S. The 2022 gift guide for husbands, the 2021 gift guide for husbands, and the 2020 gift guide for husbands.
