TWE’s Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide
Our Editors’ Curated Gifting Selection for Everyone On Your List
‘Tis the season to gift a jet ski, or perhaps, something for the jet ski lover. For the person that loves to be out on the water—whether it’s your husband, wife, mother, father, sibling, coworker, etc—the perfect gift is out there for them, and we’ve found it. There’s gifts for fishers, adventurers, fashion lovers, lake and beach house owners, and beyond. Below, find a curated list of the best gifts for both on and off-the-water lifestyles. The Wake Edit’s 2025 Holiday Gift Guide is here.
For The Fishing Aficionado: Yamaha CrossWave
Yamaha’s newest, and perhaps most innovative, launch is the perfect gift for the fisherman or fisherwoman in your life. It verges on the intersection between personal watercraft and pontoon, but it’s technically a PWC and we are here for it. With 82 gallons of storage and a 26-gallon fuel tank, this machine is ready for catching groupers and making the most out of a full day out on the water.
For Endless On-The-Water Entertainment: Sea-Doo GTI
Versatile, zippy, and endless fun, Sea-Doo’s 2026 GTI model is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a PWC that does it all. It’s high-quality but still accessible, and it’s the PWC that absolutely anyone would want.
For Her On-The-Water Fashion: Cynthia Rowley Colorblock Wetsuit
Neoprene can indeed be stylish. Cynthia Rowley’s wetsuits prove that. This long-sleeve color blocked style blends function with fashion, creating a bold wetsuit that will draw eyes on the breaks.
For His On-The-Water Fashion: Vuori Cruise Boardshorts
Or for him, you can elevate his swimwear with a pair of Vuori’s beloved swimshorts. We’d be willing to bet his current bathing suits are pretty old. He’s going to love them so much that he will end up buying five pairs of these.
For Modish UV Protection: Watskin Sienna Hat
While she should always be wearing sunscreen, there’s absolutely no harm in doubling up on sun protection and getting her a chic hat. We love Watskin’s wide-brimmed adjustable style.
For An Adventurous Getaway: A Stay At Santa Barbara Eco Resort
The Azores are the perfect escape for an adrenaline-loving family or couple. We even have a complete comprehensive guide to them if you’re starting to get curious. Santa Barbara Eco Resort is our go-to place to stay, as it’s attached to a surf shack and is situated just atop a stunning black sand beach. Plus, the food is absolutely delectable.
For Their Lake House: Bote Hangout Water Hammock
If they spend all summer at their lake house, get them something that will make for endless fun and enjoyment. They can hit this hammock with a few friends, beers in hand, for the perfect on-the-water hangout.
For A Smart Gadget: Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer
While these aren’t technically waterproof, we love wearing them out on the jet ski to capture POV content. The tech lover in your life has probably been eyeing the Meta Ray-Bans for a while now.
For The Beauty Lover: Osea Undaria Body Collection
Osea’s seaweed-powered body essentials are on every beauty aficionado’s list. This collection of body oil, body lotion, body wash, and body polish is going to enhance their everyday skincare routine exponentially.
For A New Sunglass Staple: Quay Fast Lane Sunglasses
Of course, not all sunglasses have to come with state-of-the-art technology. A good ol’ pair of sleek and sophisticated sunglasses will go a long way. Quay’s Fast Lane sunglasses are going to be their new go-to.
For His Feet: Manolo Blahnik Otawi Sandals
Here is an age-old question that men have been asking for the past ten decades: What are they going to wear from the dock to the yacht club? And here’s the answer: These bad boys.
For Her Finger: Yvonne Léon La Plage And Sous L’Eau Ring Set
This gorgeous set of rings is whimsical and elegant, bringing playful glamour to her everyday look. And yes, those are little diamond air bubbles.
For Chilly Days On The Water: Canada Goose Faber Hoodie
There’s always a chilly day or two—or a week—out on the water, especially come the colder seasons. Help them keep warm in style with Canada Goose’s windbreaker. Featuring a two-way front zipper with interior wind guard, an adjustable hood, and a front and back mesh vent, this jacket is built to handle the tougher conditions.
For A Jet-Ski Expedition: A Trip With SLEDEXT
SLEDEXT’s epic trips are going to be among the coolest gifts a jet ski lover could ever hope to receive. From Chile and Patagonia to Indonesia, explore the globe on the back of a jet ski with SLEDEXT.
For A Good Night’s Sleep: Hatch Restore 3
With sunrise alarms that gently wake you up, phone-free sleep is made easy at Hatch. Don’t underestimate the power of sleep tech. This device will change lives.
For A Beach Day: Pacific Tote Co. La Jolla Tote Bag
Because everyone needs a good beach bag, and Pacific Tote Co. makes one of our favorites. You’ll most likely find yourself them using this style beyond the sands—at the market, on a flight, even to the gym.
For The Surfer: Nusa Indah Ocean Rhythm Surfboard
We bet their current board doesn’t double as wall art like Nusa Indah’s does. Jada Stanley has designed an aesthetically-intricate surfboard for every type of surfer (and home), so go ahead and see what suits them best.
For Post-Ride Aches And Pains: Hyperice Hypervolt Gun 2
After a long day out on the water, Hyperice’s beloved percussion massage gun is going to bring them back to tip-top shape. You might even want to snag one of these for yourself while you’re at it.
For A Chilly Day On The Water: Tombolo x Boston Whaler Cardigan
The Tombolo x Boston Whaler collaboration was one of our favorites, and we aren’t yet ready to let it go. So get them (and yourself) this ultra-cool layer that nobody else will have.
For Their Boat: Liquid Lumens Fin Light
Upgrade their boat with brilliant light that will come out of their boat’s starboard and port sides. It’s a piece of cool boat tech they won’t know they needed.
For Their Gear: Rux Collapsible Gear Box
Waterproof and lightweight, this gear box is going to come in handy on their next jet ski, fishing, or hiking adventure. It’s one of the most practical gifts you can get them.
