Treat him to ultra-soft pajamas that are great for sleeping, lounging and everything in between. This Cozy Earth set is crafted from Supima cotton and bamboo viscose for breathability and comfort throughout the night, even if he's a hot sleeper.
On is a popular footwear brand that's known for its stylish yet supportive sneakers (the CloudTec cushioning system, which looks like hollowed-out pods, is easy to spot). The On Cloud 6 has a slightly different shape, thanks to the new sockliner and wider opening, which results in a better fit and more stability. These sneakers run true to size and come in 11 different colors.
It's difficult to fully describe Another 13, which is one of Le Labo's most well-known scents, because it's a complex fragrance that's truly unlike anything else. It's fresh and clean with notes of jasmine, moss and a hint of musk to round it out, making it a great everyday scent.
Help him dress to impress with this classic button-down shirt from Buck Mason. The slim fit looks tailored and put together, and the mother of pearl buttons and slight sheen to the fabric lend this shirt a more formal feel.

This digital picture frame is a creative gift that displays unlimited photos and videos on a high-resolution screen. 'It's easy to set up, and the whole family can add pictures to it via an app, so you can share old memories and new pictures even if you're not together physically,' says Forbes Vetted supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone . 'Plus, the picture quality is super crisp.'

Waterford Waterford Aras Decanter
This 32-ounce Waterford crystal decanter easily holds a standard bottle of whiskey, and the heavy stopper keeps the spirit inside dust-free and ready to be enjoyed. It has a nice weight to it, and the Aras pattern etched onto the bottle pays homage to the turrets seen in castles throughout Ireland.

The small and portable stellarscope helps you identify hundreds of stars in the sky, while you learn the science behind some of the most well-known celestial events, such as a solar eclipse.
If you're looking for something a little different than a photo frame or photo album to display photos, I recommend this wooden flipbook frame. You can choose between an eight or 16-photo version, and to flip between photos, you just have to turn the joystick manually. There's also a touch-activated light that helps illuminate each special photo.
Music aficionados are sure to appreciate this lyrical memento of a song they hold dear. Once you select a song (perhaps your first dance song or the song you got engaged to), the lyrics will be printed on the record design, along with your names and the date.
Headphones are a practical gift that he'll use on his morning commute, while working out or simply relaxing after a long day at work. And according to our tech editor's extensive testing, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are the best wireless headphones overall . Key features include 24-hour battery life, rich audio quality, plush ear cups and a sleek carrying case.

Yeti Yeti Roadie 15 Hard Cooler
Ideal for boat days, camping trips, cookouts and more, this hard cooler by Yeti can fit up to 16 pounds of ice or 22 cans. (It can also fit standard wine bottles on their side.) The reinforced strap allows for hands-free carrying, and the non-slip feet prevent it from sliding around if you're taking it on a boat or other non-steady surface.
Who doesn't love receiving a box filled with gourmet treats? If you're not sure what to get him, this Harry & David gift box overflowing with savory meats and cheeses is a winning pick. Inside, he'll find three types of sausages, four types of cheese, an assortment of crackers and two spreads. All that's missing is a glass of red wine.
The best anniversary gift for your husband is different from person to person—there's no right answer for everyone. However, it can be helpful to choose a personalized gift, like a custom photo book, or something that caters to his interests. Big ticket items, such as this sleek aluminum suitcase or a soundbar with spatial audio, that may be on his list but he wouldn't splurge on himself, are also a good option. No matter what you choose, he'll appreciate it because it came from you, so don't overthink it.

MSNBC Name Change Mercilessly Mocked as ‘One of the Worst Branding Disasters in Media History'
"MSNBC's horrible rebrand is going to bring Americans together again," one social media user jokes Versant's Monday announcement that MSNBC will be rebranded as MS NOW (My Source News Opinion World) has generated comparisons online to Warner Bros. Discovery's multiple HBO name changes in recent years and has been met with widespread derision. The rebrand comes as parent company Comcast plans to spin off its cable news channels into a new company called Versant. When that plan was originally announced, there were concerns that MSNBC's separation from NBCUniversal would result in it losing its easily identifiable name. More from TheWrap MSNBC Name Change Mercilessly Mocked as 'One of the Worst Branding Disasters in Media History' Spike Lee's Colin Kaepernick Docuseries Scrapped at ESPN Due to 'Creative Differences' David Geffen Responds to Ex-Husband's 'Ludicrous and Contrived' Lawsuit: 'Petty Gossip and Salacious Lies' State Department Papers Found on Alaska Hotel Printer Include Sensitive Details of Trump's Summit With Putin Those concerns were temporarily dispelled when Versant's prospective CEO Mark Lazarus told staffers in January that they did not have to worry about the network changing its name. Now, not only is MSNBC rebranding, but its name change also brings with it a new logo that does not feature the NBC Peacock logo that has long helped identify the network as part of the NBCUniversal family. 'This name further underscores our mission: to serve as your destination for breaking news and thoughtful analysis and remain the home for the perspectives that you've relied on for nearly 30 years,' the network wrote in an official statement shared Monday morning. 'For our viewers who have watched us for decades, it may be hard to imagine this network by any other name,' the statement continued. 'We understand. But our promise to you remains as it always has. You know who we are, and what we do.' Social media users were swift to express their displeasure with the change. One user on X called it 'one of the worst branding disasters in media history' and wrote that the new MS NOW logo 'looks like it belongs on a discount computer from 1998.' Another user vowed that, much like how they refused to call HBO Max just 'Max' after it was temporarily rebranded, they will 'never call [MSNBC] the new name.' 'This rebrand leaves me a little speechless,' a different user also admitted on X, while another user joked that 'MSNBC's horrible rebrand is going to bring Americans together again.' You can check out some of the morning's social media reactions yourself below.

Golden Retriever Patiently Waiting for Neighbor to 'Sneak Him Treats' Is a Legend
Golden Retriever Patiently Waiting for Neighbor to 'Sneak Him Treats' Is a Legend originally appeared on Parade Pets. My Pug mix is very sneaky when it comes to treats. When I take his Doxie sister out to do her business, he expects a treat right along with her even though he didn't step one paw outside. My precious Puggie will also follow me into the basement at laundry time and refuse to come upstairs unless I entice him with the treat jar. My canine can be quite crafty. Benny the Golden Retriever apparently has some sort of deal going on with his neighbor to score some extra treats and it's adorable. In the TikTok from @bennythegoldennn, the patient pooch was by the fence outside apparently waiting for something or someone. "Every day Benny waits for our neighbor to sneak him treats through the fence," the onscreen text read as the gorgeous Golden kept watch through the fence's missing slat. A figure could be seen on the other side walking toward Benny as the craving canine leaned his head through the opening for the treasured treat. "It's become their ritual," the story explained. Benny joyfully ran into the house after his daily snack with his tail in full wag. "Did you get a treat?" his mom asked. The fur baby sat in front of her with what looked like a smile on his face in response. Dogs Love Treats for More Than Taste There are plenty of treats to choose from when we want to reward our pups. Naturally our pooches love the taste, but those savory little snacks represent more than just a tasty tidbit. Treats are often used as rewards for training, so it's a form of positive reinforcement. Our dogs always want to please us, where getting a treat tells your pooch they've done something good and builds their also mix things up from their daily diet. Everyone likes variety, and these yummy snacks give our dogs a change of pace from their everyday breakfast and dinner. Since treats are often given for something special or recognizing an achievement, our fur babies associate these morsels with fun and good times. Benny will probably continue this daily "ritual" with his neighbor indefinitely. 🐶🐾🐾 Golden Retriever Patiently Waiting for Neighbor to 'Sneak Him Treats' Is a Legend first appeared on Parade Pets on Aug 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Aug 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

‘Keep It Simple!': Guy Fieri Shares Go-To Labor Day Entertaining Tips
Labor Day weekend is the unofficial end of summer, so it presents a great opportunity to have that final big BBQ or cookout of the season. Whether this means cocktails and burgers in the backyard or steaks on the grill, this can be a perfect way to send off lazy summer nights and usher in the new season with family and fries. "It's Labor Day, it's hot out, it's the final-FINAL of the summer, you know?" said celebrity chef and co-owner of Santo Tequila, Guy Fieri, in an email interview. 'So, with that said, I think it's the perfect tequila cocktail time. There are plenty of ways to incorporate it into dishes but at this time of year, get that simple, clean, fresh margarita going with fresh lime, agave nectar and some Santo and that's all you need!' From classic BBQ to a picnic or potluck, there' sa lot of ways to honor the holiday and your loved ones when planning a Labor Day weekend gathering. "Labor Day is about celebrating hard working Americans and our national prosperity," said Fieri. But it also signals the changing of the season, that last summer weekend. "Maybe the kids are already back in school, maybe they're just about to head back. But it's one last hurrah at the lake, the beach, the backyard…a chance to get together one last time before Fall. And all of that adds up to prime cookout time. Life's best moments should be spent with friends and famiy, and food and cooking are as central to that as anything," said Fieri. Pre-Party Prep But when planning to get together with family and friends, the foremost desire to actually spend time with them – not hiding from them in the kitchen. And that all comes down to prepping ahead and being as prepared as possible before the guests even begin to arrive. "You know, I think you nailed the answer right in your question with the key words, 'pre-party prep," said Fieri, who explains people like to socialize around the kitchen or grill. "I'm not so worried about standing at the grill or huddling around the island," said Fieri. "But what'll get ya' is running to the store for the ice you didn't buy. Forgetting to squeeze your limes for the margaritas so you have so sub for that gross, store-bought mixer. So, like anything else in life, make plan, write a list, check off the boxes, marinate your meats, buy your charcoal, check your Santo inventory, cut the veggies, whip your dips, get your act together so that when it's time to get the party started, you're ready to be present, enjoy the time with friends and let your food and drink be the true stars of the show," said Fieri. Common Entertaining Mistakes K.I.S.S.: Keep It Simple, Stupid. That's the name of the game. Keep things simple and there'll simply be less mistakes. "We all have been dreams and delusions of grandeur at times. And your Labor Day cookout is a terrible time for that," said Fieri, who cautions to do fewer things better. "If you're running around like a chicken with your head cut off, your guests will feel that energy and that's not the vibe you're looking for," said Fieri. As for what Guy Fieri's own plans are this Labor Day weekend? 'Well, this year's looking a little bit different…we're having a casual get together for 400+ people up at the ranch for Hunter's wedding! So, no, I guess I can't even keep my own 'keep it simple' advice!'
