Dwyane Wade's Holiday Gift Ideas

E!: What makes Revolve and FWRD your go-to for holiday gifts and for shopping during the rest of the year?
DW: Revolve and FWRD are my shopping go-to because it’s a one-stop shop and they have something for everyone and every occasion.

E!: What’s the cheapest product in your gym bag? What makes this so essential?
DW: The cheapest product in my gym bag is probably my Mission Cooling Towel

E!: Is there an accessory under $60 that you think every man should have in his wardrobe?
DW: I would say a clean pair of black sunglasses. From living in Miami to Los Angeles, I always keep a pair on me.

E!: When it comes to gift-giving, what’s your go-to product for the man who has everything?
DW: The key to gifting “the man who has everything” is just being intentional! Get him something small that he wouldn’t think he needs but can’t live without.

My favorite gifts are the ones that make my life a little easier. I feel like something like a self-heating coffee mug or a nice planner to start the new year is great. Something lowkey that anyone needs.

E!: If you had to let one former teammate have control of your holiday shopping this year, who are you trusting to pick out the perfect gifts?
DW: I would trust my teammate UD [Udonis Haslem] to handle my holiday shopping. He not only knows me well but also knows my family well. He is my daughter Kaavia’s godfather and has been an uncle to my kids most of their lives. I would trust him to handle that for me this year.

E!: What is your favorite part about celebrating the holidays?
DW: There's just something special about having everyone together under one roof, especially after a long, crazy year. I spend so much time traveling during the year even after retiring, so when the holidays roll around, it’s like a timeout from everything.

E!: Does your family have any yearly holiday traditions that you look forward to?
DW: Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and each year we host at my house. I look forward to seeing all of my close family and friends in one room and the amazing conversations we have each year.

"I’m really into fragrances and scents. I would recommend a nice fragrance or even a discovery set if you are still trying to find your scent. When you smell good, you feel good!"

E!: After so many years together, how do you and Gabrielle keep holiday gift-giving special and meaningful? Do you have any traditions or go-to gifts?
DW: Gab and I have learned it’s not about the price tag or going over the top with gifts. It’s about making it meaningful, something that speaks to who we are as a couple.

We try to focus on experiences. It’s about creating memories, not just unwrapping a box. At the end of the day, it’s the thought and love behind the gift that counts. That’s how we keep it special every year.

E!: What’s a thoughtful gift under $50 that you believe your wife Gabrielle would adore receiving this holiday season? 
DW: I’d go with a Jo Malone candle. I’d pick a scent that reminds her of one of our favorite trips together, maybe something tropical or warm, like coconut or vanilla. It’s simple, but it’s personal.

"Gab loves setting the vibe in our home and on the road and a good candle does that for sure."
