Time is running out! We are here to give you ELEVEN more ideas for those on your list. We love the idea of sharing items that we have found throughout the year. We get no kick-backs and/or compensation. Trust that our recommendations are simply what we think others will enjoy. If you need ideas from past lists, click this link. Happy Holidays to All!
For the kiddos. Okay, it won’t arrive until January, but we ordered one anyway! This closed loop AI custom sticker machine means the kids can tell the “box” an idea and a sticker is printed — for coloring or simply sticking. Anything to get a bit more IRL, right? Stickerbox $100
For the inner designer. Let the light shine with this unique table light. The dimmable bulb means you can choose the vibe. It’s available in three colors and measures 7”x9”. Baltra Light $200
For the status conscious or "diver". Ever experience "watch envy"? That's the feeling we had when we first spied this beauty. Or maybe it was just a simple "wow." The lightweight time piece has a 40mm diameter, titanium casing, and a sailcloth strap. The watch is powered by a Miyota 9015 movement and is water resistant to 200 meters. Only 100 made! Cenote Titanium Blue Watch $995
For the snow kids/adults. Take the scoot to the snow. It's foldable for easy transport and storage. It can even work on sand or grass. The weight limit is 220 lbs, so really most can give it a whirl. And at under $30, it's low risk investment in fun. Fold-Up Snow Ski Scooter, $27
For the coffee gourmand on the go. Camping, road trip, at the office, and/or a hotel without a high-end brew option? This is where the Aeropress comes in. We think the 20 oz is the way to go, but it will take up more room than the original 10 oz system. This XL model can brew up to 6 shots of espresso style coffee or two cups of American style coffee with one press. Clean up is easy. The ONLY items you need to bring: hot water and the grounds. Aeropress XL $65
For the reader & those who enjoy stuffing the socks…aka stocking-stuffer. Take the book and the experience to a new level with scent. Yep, scented “scratch and sniff” style bookmarks are here. These use essential oils to give off the good stuff.
Biblioscents $14 for set of four.
For those looking to get and/or stay fit: We have two ideas! Get your slack line groove on with this balance board from Gibbon. With its cool design, you won’t mind seeing it in your living room. One of life’s challenges is maintaining balance & this board will get you there. The Movemate is the under the radar way to move while at your desk…or wherever. Active standing has been getting a lot of healthy attention and this is a way you can get on board…LITERALLY.
Movemate Active Standing Board $359 &
Gibbon Slackboard $175
For the creative. We all get blocked. These cards created by Serbian conceptual and performance artist Maria Abromovic can be a door opener. The cards promise to unlock creativity, improve one’s life, encourage mindfulness and more! Low risk investment, and likely it will arrives after Christmas, so perhaps save it for a unique host gift. There are other sellers, like Ebay.
Marina Abramović Method, $22
For the garlic and/or ginger lover. You know who you are! And you also know that cleaning up after a good grate is NO fun. That’s where this nifty tool comes in to save the day. It’ll also work wonders on a ceramic garlic grater dish.
Kotobuki Brush $8 NOTE, it’s
very small.
For the person who really LOVES McDonald's and/or cool facts. Take a trip around the world with cool Mickey D locales as the focal point. The book is crafted by a James Beard Award-winning photographer and writer Gary He. Think of it as a visual social anthropology of the largest and most popular restaurant in the world. Fabulous images.
McAtlas $50, Also on Amazon.com
For everyone. It’s all HERE…in a pack of playing cards: New York. People. Design. Reality. Who wouldn’t be entertained? We think this could replace the coffee table book! There are 54 inspirations, all on card stock, and packaged in a nice box.
NYC Street Dailies playing cards $25
