The holidays are here, and so is one of our favourite traditions: celebrating with the golfers who bring big-swing energy, curiosity, creativity and a whole lot of fun. In the mag, we spotlight our best finds in Top of the leaderboard, and this guide is the festive, gift-wrapped edition of that spirit.
Consider it a roundup of the things we can’t get enough of: thoughtful, beautifully made and designed to make life better on and off the course. From clever gear to eye-catching objects and everyday luxuries you didn’t know you needed, these gifts are some of the best, on par, on point and ready to unwrap.
1. Åvontuura architecture maps
At hiatus, we chase place—the thrill of new streets, the excitement of wandering somewhere new and stumbling into the stories that spaces quietly tell. Golf might bring us to cities, but it’s the architecture, neighbourhoods and hidden gems that keep us curious.
For our fellow wanderers, Åvontuura’s architecture maps are the ultimate companion. Curated routes, gorgeous illustrations and insider tips that turn urban exploration into an open-air gallery. Whether you’re strolling between rounds or planning a full-on design pilgrimage, these maps make roaming easy and inspiring.

2. Toyo cantilever toolbox
Scorecards, tees, ball markers, tools and little keepsakes that capture the magic of unforgettable rounds. Golfers love to collect things, and the Toyo cantilever toolbox is the perfect home for all of them. Built to live wherever you need it, like your car, garage or office, it brings order, durability and a surprising touch of style to everyday essentials.
Pressed from a single sheet of steel, it’s strong yet silky to the touch. The dual-handle, two-tier design swings open effortlessly for instant access. Eight removable dividers let you make it your own to organize gear, stash travel bits or corral your favourite mementos.
Available in a palette of vibrant colours with the option for a 4 mm cylinder lock, it’s more than a toolbox. It’s a design piece you’ll keep for years. And the more you use it, the better it gets.

3. How Golf Can Save Your Life by Drew Millard
Featured in the very first issue of hiatus, Drew Millard’s How Golf Can Save Your Life is a book we keep coming back to and recommending. Part memoir, part cultural commentary and part love letter to the game, it’s honest, funny and full of the clarity that only comes from leaning on golf when life gets heavy.
Millard unpacks the ways golf can anchor, challenge, frustrate and ultimately reshape how we see ourselves and the world. More than swings or scorecards, it’s a quiet space for reflection, connection and growth.
A thoughtful and engaging read for any golfer or anyone curious about how a pastime can become something so much bigger.

Cast in 15 grams of zinc alloy, it has a satisfying heft and sleek silver finish that’s playful and premium. At 35 × 30 × 3 mm, it’s substantial without being bulky: easy to find, easy to use. And each one comes tucked inside a suede pouch, a small touch that makes it feel even more gift-worthy.

Cold-season golf demands one essential: a top-tier neck warmer. Satisfy’s FuzzFleece™ AD is the one we reach for every time. It strikes a perfect balance between clean design and next-level comfort, and that’s exactly what we love about the brand’s approach to style and performance.
Soft on the skin and practically weightless, it locks in warmth through those in-between months when the air starts to bite. Perfect for early-morning tee times, gusty fairways and late-season rounds.
Simple, brilliantly executed. Your quiet companion for the season’s edges.

6. Park Golf Goods Park Golf stand
Your carry bag deserves better than a corner of the room or the trunk of the car. The minimal, beautifully crafted Park Golf stand gives it a proper home.
Handmade in Lost Angeles from 100% solid red oak (no veneer, no compromise), each stand is carefully finished with a clear, plant-based oil and wax that brings out the natural grain. The result is a warm, architectural presence that feels built-in anywhere. A subtle laser-engraved Park Golf Goods logo adds the final touch of craftsmanship.
It’s functional, refined and understated furniture that elevates your gear and your space.

Available in bronze, 925 sterling silver or 14k gold vermeil, each piece blends classic aesthetics with lasting craftsmanship. Its clean lines and iconic form make it feel more like an heirloom than an accessory, and the option to add custom engraving on the back gives it a personal touch for a thoughtful gift or a keepsake you’ll carry for years.

9. Matheson Food Company Cracked Pep Pep mac & cheese
Matty Matheson’s Cracked Pep Pep macaroni and cheese is one of our favourite post-round comforts. Think the classic orange stuff but amped up and full of personality. It’s the kind of cozy, no-brainer meal you crave after a long walk, a cold day or a round that drained a little more out of you than expected.
Cheesy, peppery and loaded with signature Matheson swagger, it turns a classic into something so delicious. If you’ve seen Matty bring his chaos and charm to The Bear, you know he has a knack for turning simple food into sheer joy.

Our first-ever print issue is finally here, and we’re admittedly pretty proud. Thoughtfully designed and guided by the same curiosity and care that drives hiatus, it pulls together stories, conversations, photography and culture from the edges of the game and everywhere golf takes us.
Whether its read cover to cover or left on the coffee table to flip through between rounds, it’s a magazine meant to be held, lingered over and shared. Shipping worldwide, it’s set to make its way to golfers across the map.
