Gift Guides

There are many far more important things in life than things. We know this. But the fact is that if you’re reading this, you probably occasionally have to buy stuff for the people in your life. And that act can make or break a relationship. A good present leaves the recipient feeling seen and appreciated. A bad one leaves them wondering if you know them at all. Whether gift-giving is your love language or it’s all Greek to you, the Cut is here to help you make the best decisions about what to buy for Christmas, Hanukkah, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and beyond.
