For under $100, Lane recommends Nippex Cobra water pump pliers, Art suggests a Sports Car Market magazine subscription, and Warren proposes the Camp Snap screen-free digital camera. In the $500 tier, Lane mentions a Conway electric power extension cord and a Solo Stove dual-fuel pizza oven, while Art advocates for the Garmin inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator. The unlimited segment features Warren's pick of Nothing headphones, Lane's mention of a Ferrari Daytona SP3, and Art's fantasy gift of an $8 million Tansu 19 Preference yacht. The hosts also discuss personal project updates, including Lane's E30 Euro bumper installation and tire purchases for his T-100 and Vanagon. The episode concludes with Christmas movie trivia, focusing on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
