It’s Time to Just Buy Them Some Uggs
I won't lie to you: It's late. We're in buzzer-beater, Hail Mary, "Mike Tyson last shot at greatness" territory. Whatever sports metaphor you want, we're there, well past the time to think about luxury, tech, and all the standard gifts. The big day, assuming that's also December 25, for you, is fast approaching. Most standard shipping deadlines are tonight, December 17. The most important of which, in my mind, is for Ugg.
Slippers are a no-fail holiday gift, something you get your dad alongside a bottle of whiskey. When in doubt, they won't hate a new slipper. This year, though, I've been bullish on this pair of leather Ugg Tasmans. They're a standout gift in our big Gifts for Men roundup, easily one of the most popular gifts on Esquire this year. I got my brother a pair. He's in love. Since they're made with smooth, tanned leather—instead of the normal soft sheepskin—they feel, and look, a lot more luxe. They're even more giftable. So this is my advice to you: Buy a pair for everyone who's still not checked off your list. It'll do the trick.

Ugg has some of the best in-house order fulfillment I've dealt with, so I'd trust an overnight ship from its website. But if you want to go the Amazon route, that's not a bad bet. The leather Tasman slippers I love are only on Ugg's website, but here's a handful of alternatives you can buy off Amazon. Now I'll stop talking, because you're really fucking late. You should have bought this stuff a month ago.
