If you have a golfer on your 2025 Christmas gift list, please do him or her a favor: Get them something they actually want and will use. Do some research—some snooping. There’s undoubtedly something they’d love that will speak to the golf lust residing in their soul. A particular club they’ve had their eyes on. A new quarter-zip or pair of shoes. A rangefinder. A bag. A book. There’s something they’d really love to get—I guarantee it.
But please, whatever you do, don’t just settle for a golf-themed gift that’s some non-golfing brand’s idea of what might appeal to golfers. Like a coffee mug with some corny golf-related saying on it. Or a necktie adorned with a pattern of somebody making a perfect swing. Or a board game based on golf that is decidedly not golf. Or any kind of item that includes a play on the word balls. You may get a smile and a polite thank-you, but the recipient is immediately going to think that you wasted your money because said item is never going to leave the box it came in.
Don’t risk it! There’s a wide, wide world of golf gifts that any golfer would love to receive. Here’s a list of some of them. One could be the perfect choice for the golfer on your list.
Zero Restriction Future Vest
Opportunities to tee it up become fewer at holiday time in many parts of the world, but whenever there’s a chance, however slim, of squeezing in an off-season round, die-hard golfers will take it.

It features down channels that are woven (not stitched) into the quilted fabric, so it’s not only warm, it allows for full freedom of movement. It’s almost like it’s not even there. ($395 – BUY NOW)
