It’s the most wonderful time of the year…🎼🎼🎶

[@CaptureCat88]

He just wants to earn commission on all these products. It’s not for you but to help him make money.

[@Koopsstuff]

November/December are highest earning months for KZbinrs… this is not for you it’s for money.

[@immattking]

This isn't a list of gifts - this is a Van Neistat dress up list. I LOVE IT. From the soldering iron to the $450 jacket - I'm envious of every single item.

[@CaptureCat88]

This is a way for him to sell you products and make money.

Finally am I right?? 😆

I have that Swiss Army multi in black. It was a gift from my grandfather, a WW2 vet from the US Army Air Core. We were in the mountains of NC and VA for a road trip that he, my mother, my cousin, and I would take nearly every year to experience the vibrancy of autumn in Appalachia. I was maybe 11 years old, we had stopped in this little country store, and my imagination soared thinking about all the adventure this multi tool could unlock. It was around 2006-07, and the thing was probably $120 in the store. My mother agreed with me about the awesomeness of this key to exploration and survival, but it was too expensive. I didn’t complain or whine, but Pop must have noticed my excitement just thinking about the possibilities this pocket tool would provide leave my body as my face turned away from that glass display case. Later that year, the day after Christmas, my family and I were exchanging gifts when I opened THE present: that Swiss Army multi tool, in black, with a note that read, "to Caleb, from Pop-Pop". Sharing all of the things I have used that multi tool for would be boring for anyone else to read through, but there is no way for me to put in words how much it meant to me in that one moment to receive it. Since that mountain trip, my parents divorced, I moved away from home, and my family has grown apart. Last year (2021), this sense of loosening bonds was compounded by the loss of my grandfather to brain cancer. I haven’t really been doing great since his death, but I have taken up a few hobbies that have given that multi tool some recent use. In addition to being a very practical accessory, that pocket tool will always remind me of that trip through the Appalachian mountains, the warmth of family, and the thoughtfulness of my grandfather who wanted a life of adventure for his grandson.

[@GBlaque]

The drill and impact driver speaks to me. I also feel that the older I get the more practical are my preferred Christmas gifts

[@canadude6401]

WOW Van....I am still reeling from your last video with Tom Sachs. It was so special to see mentor and protege together. The post was especially great and as an artist with several unfinished works, your chart has stuck in my head, and having Tom give you the nod really spoke to me. Thank you Van so much for this channel. It's among the best on the platform and I think I speak for all 457,000 of your loyal subscribers!

[@sameboat9162]

Yes. Very yes. I am also a Canadian artist with several unfinished works, and based in Bangkok, so that was especially cool to see you here. Thank you, Van. โปรดทำในสิ่งที่คุณกำลังทำอยู่ครับ Much love, Mark 🙏

[@soupmage]

nice profile pic

[@jd-k7bpm]

I can't tell you how many times I have come back to this list - lots of great ideas!

[@JAW1992]

I've been re-watching this every Christmas season and getting one of the gifts and have purchased 6 of them so far.

[@stevenwillie2782]

Thanks for the Shop Class as Soulcraft suggestion months ago. I purchased it then, and it made me feel great about having worked my whole career as a tradesman, rather then "lesser than".

[@joycelatham6974]

I’ve read “ shop class as soul craft”….fantastic. Love your gift list.

[@KieranWay]

Stumbled across your Chanel through Casey mentioning your work, never been more exited to binge watch !! Keep it up bro 🔥

[@LukeAMcDowell]

I bought that Milwaukee kit a few years ago. Home Depot had a special deal going and it came with a free Milwaukee chordless ratchet. Love it!

[@aj-kal2]

When Casey and Van drop a video on the same day >>>

[@johng2963]

Why this has not gotten more "thumbs up" I don't understand.

[@dirks4093]

I think that might be a first.. especially only about an hour and a half apart.

[@winstonzeb2842]

Those suitcases are awesome but for $300-400 from travelPro (platinum elite models) you can get a lifetime warranty carry on with the smoothest wheels/bearings ive ever experienced. Best purchase ever. I asked for recommendations from pilots and flight attendants for a year before going with TravelPro.

[@DetectiveTrupo203]

This is one of the best channels on KZbin.

[@pedrogaller3838]

Nice one Van. I Still remember about your video talking about making a gift. Also advising to purchase small gifts in advance. Cheers and stay safe.

[@davidoneill7412]

Dear Van, I basically love your videos and feel such a connection to how you move through and work with the world around you! I let out a little shout of joy when i saw you open the gift that was Mathew Crawfords book! I count myself lucky to have a father you was a metalwork (Shop) class teacher and was basically raised in a workshop. I too have a copy of Matts book and it has spoken to me many times. I read it every few years to nourish and re-energise me in my side projects. It is the only book i bring with me on my holidays to read. I have underlined and written out so many quotes: my favourite being "you cant hammer a nail over the internet" and his reference to "tacit" knowledge. Please keep on being you and providing such grounded, relatable, content. David

[@digdrivediy]

I'm sharing this video with my rich uncle!

[@jules_h]

That wood burner is something i need desperately

[@CallieMasters5000]

You're burning for it.

[@MrKongatthegates]

nice choices. As a tradesman I already have a few, and you usually never regret buying good quality. I have bought cheap, then medium then quality on alot of stuff so if you have the cash just buy the good quality. I have never spent 400 on a sweater or jacket tho, but that looks really nice

[@Abdullahs_World]

Great Video as always

[@tonidolce]

Thank you for these gift recommendations. I am going to purchase several of them for my husband and FIL for the holidays. Appreciate your content. Keep creating!

[@faheemali3550]

i love to format of this video, couldn't take my eyes off the screen the whole time

[@skatetheglobe]

I had never heard of the Filson brand until a few years ago when my father picked up some boxes from the curb. Inside thse boxes were a bunch of scuba gear and a tan Filson duffle bag. I was very surprised to see what they were worth so I put it on ebay. A short time later I was contacted by the props department for the show Hawaii 5-0. They wanted to buy the bag and have us overnight it from Florida to Hawaii. I think they paid darn near what they paid for the bag just to have it shipped. They told us which episode it would be on so we waited and took a picture of the screen when we saw it laying on the ground in one of the scenes. Pretty cool and probably the closest I'll ever come to being famous lol

[@Pondermusic]

Greatest video 📹

[@montgomeryhughes8261]

We did Christmas early this year and I got that same drill and driver set! Love it

[@ibkennedy]

Just brought the fourth turning on audible, thanks for the tip Van 👌

[@waterbuck]

While I have used the more expensive headlamps from Petzl and PrincetonTec, LED tech has gotten really cheap and my new go to headlamp is an $11 energizer headlamp from Walmart. I use the crap out of them and they haven't failed me yet and the three brightness settings for $11 is a pretty nice battery saving feature.

[@jakeparker44]

Perfect little video.

[@Hebraa.universe]

I’m buying all those books as gifts to myself… from you

[@abhinayarora95]

did you read them?

[@Hebraa.universe]

@@abhinayarora95 no, I actually just bought them. I’ll update you when I read them

[@bfree247365]

Watching Yellowstone and just saw a commercial for Filson clothing. Never heard of it before and now have heard it twice in the last week.

[@dirtcopdualsport]

This is a crazy, fun, and electic list. Glad there are 3 books on that list

[@Tap-on-my..profile-to-connect]

⤴️📩

[@maddiemutations5896]

I’ve loved your videos for years and always take a lot of good from your videos. Once in a while i do feel excluded when you speak of “all women” thinking one way, the headlamp is a smart idea to add around the house and any gender should overcome perceived dorkiness to utilize them 😊

[@TheMoonHost]

Love this video so much, I hope we get one every year

[@jefffromjuneau]

I have the same Petzl head lamp that Van is showing as a gift. Good choice for sure, one of the best for that price range.

[@SuarSatya]

Casey made the greatest gift video, Van made gift guide video. release the same day.

[@MariusViken]

2 hours apart. They´re talking.

[@isabel-rj4kd]

Omg we had no idea - just told van. So funny!!

[@mannurse7421]

3:45 I want to caveat the Milwaukee tool set twice, 1. Milwaukee M12 is definitely the best choice 2. If the person you are gifting too has any tools they have these tools you can skip this

[@TSGEnt]

Beuler? I should have seen it coming, but I didn't. Bravo.

[@brewerm1718]

Just used a chisel to widen the vents on my vacuum, which was suctioning itself to the high pile carpet, and I have to say I feel like a spirited woman. Haha!

[@archymcfyre]

Can I just say what kept me addicted to the channel as of today, in addition to the helpful info, is the music. Something about the music keeps me locked here and I do not need help

[@CaptainGnarkill]

I still implement the 3 things the spirited man taught me about gifts. Thoughtfulness, about the size of your hand, and cheaper than 25$. I think I got that right? Either way, it’s a great guide.

[@LPWWE06]

evertything is cool i even bought the swiss knife to your advice and lovin it. but the extensions cord is just pricey. I believe its rather easy to make just get a braided 3 wires wire imo. love

[@DennisRobert1]

I haven't seen the Bueller yet, and I'm a big Buell fan. I currently have a 96 S1 and previously had a XB12STT, 07 if I remember correctly. I wanna see your build a Buell video!

[@mcd5478]

Ha! Great gift guide. My niece (who, of course, is a spirited woman) recommended your channel to me (her spirited aunt) ❤ Suffice it to say - SUBSCRIBED 🥳

[@Sadsoft]

Dude those red top socks from the last gift video are so fucking comfy and durable… thanks for the suggestion

[@chrisblunt7627]

I have never wanted a motorcycle until now, but I'll settle for the socks 😀

[@axelmalm2642]

Great video, also check out the Patagonia Iron Forge double knee pants. Best pants I've ever worn. It's more expensive than the Carhartts but I think the design is superior

[@wellgeo223]

I love Patagonia’s workwear across the board.

[@Medes06]

if you want a Buell like that, just get a xb1200x, and take away the seat. I had that and it is amazing. The ulysses.

[@Tap-on-my..profile-to-connect]

⏏️📬

[@mjmoutdoors237]

Bought a swiss champ following the video you made on it. Hard to believe I got by without it now. I use it at least 4-5 times a day! 👌🏼

[@tffols227]

Hi Van, what type of safety glasses do you wear? I’d like to get them for my son as he is starting an electrical trades program and must have glasses. Yours look cool!

[@aaronsilverberg2339]

pure joy

[@dippaverse]

Great, now I want all those things too.

[@MANATWORKlives]

The Bueller! I emailed Revival about this thing right before they got it back. The price has dropped $10k. You read my question about motorcycles on live stream and I mentioned I have a Buell. Great stuff! I will have to re-read Shop Class as Soul Craft - it was a little heavy for my simple mind, but I get it.

[@sjoukeduinstra9071]

If you want full wool slippers, that last a long time, are extremely comfortable I recommend glerups (for the European people)

[@markhearsey4294]

Love your channel buddy…👍🏻

[@markhottman2652]

Van when are you going to move back to NYC (Next Door to Casey)?

[@stuartcameron]

this is great thanks van

[@kap0no22]

Definitely gonna get the hero with a thousand faces 👌🏽

[@colinstu]

3:11 damn $160 for that?? That's a lot of money for "aesthetic" as it can be made yourself for way cheaper and just as functional.

[@visitour]

Love this

[@gozzaldi1486]

I would replace the pretzel headlamp with a black diamond cosmo headlamp. A headlamp is not a headlamp without red light in my opinion. It’s about ~$35

[@dylansavoie7614]

I got to watch the hbo promo before it disappeared🙌😎

[@jules_h]

Lucky

[@jonashabben4374]

Noooo, so close

[@ben6527]

What was it Abbott

[@MarioAtheonio]

Was it the "swiss keys" gift for Tom Sachs video that's on Vimeo?

[@isabel-rj4kd]

It’s on Patreon if you’d like to see it

[@JesseDeyoung]

Great video!

[@jimmyreyes8096]

You got it right with the M12!!!

[@skovacs13]

This is a great list, I can not afford most of the stuff but I love some of the cheaper ideas. Great Video!!!! Thanks

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job van thumb up

[@sonntagshans]

After 20 years of school, this was exactly the book I needed. It speaks from my soul. I will follow less my programming career but sell more of my homemade sofas and other stuff. Do you have any more book recommendations?

[@MitchSprague]

That was awesome!

[@jackleahy7133]

this was lovely

[@stevenpozz8071]

Van, thank you

[@kostlmusic]

I love this guy

[@HBCrigs]

i may be a butch woman, but a woman still, and i love head lamps with great passion

[@keneticchannel]

I feel like he made this video just to ask the world for the Beuler. 😆

[@dirod38]

Love this!

[@CallieMasters5000]

It's like Oprah's Favorite Things up in here. 😁

[@MarkliketheBible]

This may sound dramatic but this one video really fixed a big problem I had with giving gifts

[@skaaammm4760]

slippers seems cool, but have you ever tryed shepherds Van?

[@SewerGang]

Would love a Swiss champ but I love my leatherman p4 (cant go without those pliers) and bugout

[@neilgoedhuis5606]

you had me up to the Milwaukee... 12v rather than M18, and spend the extra on fancy luggage? I use the drill/driver WAY more than i travel... I guess it's all about what makes sense to the scale of your life...

[@joeo4117]

Hey van what’s the difference between the fourth turning and principles with dealing with a changing world order ?

[@_Puke]

Moral of the story. Tom sachs gives the best gifts 😂

[@Bolderdash001]

The Swiss champ is awesome, but the smaller ones as well. Have several. Missed the glue gun btw

[@IslaSprollie]

Fantastic

[@Popcorncedar]

Great seeing some American made gear with the Filson shirt. I only hunt in Filson gear. The Dewalt drills can be made in the USA for the same price, I’d go 18V though. The 18v weighs more but more umph. Cool ideas.

[@rosemanbridge1000]

I wish Filson would ship to Australia but they won't which is a detriment to them as they are better than RM Williams who hog that particular market here.

[@deejaypile]

The dark horse of KZbin

[@Aidan-hd5re]

yaay! thannk youuuu. YOU, for the upload. posting on my boyfriends account, who I wish to buy more gifts for. he has no clue, which is the best state for him to be in.

[@tinycuisine6544]

I was just about to send you the Bueler, but just remembered that on another video you said not to send you anything.

[@AdventureOtaku]

That isn’t a petzl Tikka, it is the smaller version the Tikkina, and an older one at that. The TIkka is a good headlamp, but also check out the Black Diamond Spot. Better adjustability.

[@Tap-on-my..profile-to-connect]

[@amarnathsama]

Love the video, the prices written on the paper are also written so beautifully

[@westnorton2]

Van! We use the B01 carhartts for work!! So stoked to see someone who appreciates them. Did you know they discontinued them??

[@MariusViken]

You should check out The Ramverk from DB. Insane stirdy suitcase..

[@OneOfTheRobs]

Why did you remove "The Screwdriver, patatoeGun" video??

[@msg3415]

it's on his patreon.

[@TheBeginnerPhotographyPodcast]

I knew you were a Buell guy. I knew it.

[@ACoustaDC]

Wow Van, I came back here to buy the Carhartt pants and use a link, so you could make 11 cents. You aren't using affiliate links. INTEGRITY LEVEL 1000 Achieved.

[@ACoustaDC]

why are you doing this.

[@Gg_gg9098]

I’m in college and left my wood burner/soldering melter back home and I regret it almost everyday

[@toddnorman]

LFG Van!! i’m asking santa for the wood burner

[@rodpotts2666]

Milwaukee m12 kit on sale today for $199 with free 2.ah battery. Home Depot

[@dylansousa5571]

Good video

[@ssoundwaves]

The fact that you don't have a camera on this list for all of the potential spirited men embarking on an awakening is bit mind boggling

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Cool!✌️

[@robweissman5952]

😭For the love of God.. Somebody BUY VAN THAT BIKE!
