The gift: Transition, by Terrafugia: The flying car

Why it’s so great: Ever since we saw Back to the Future: Part II, we’ve been waiting for this bad boy. A two seat, sporty coupe with enough room for your carry-on and golf bag on the road, and an FAA approved Light Sport Aircraft with a range of 490 miles in the air. With wings that act like the top to a convertible, folding in and out to 6 meters with the touch of a button, you can leave your tray table down and your seat back as far as your bad-ass , flying car will let you as you taxi down the runway.

Why it made the list: A true gentleman always knows to work smarter, not harder. If you know something smarter than hearing the morning traffic report and flying over the problem instead of driving through it, we hope you’ll tell us.

Approx value: $279,999 ($10,000 refundable deposit required)
