Holiday Gift Guide: Our Elves Have Been Busy; This Is What We Have in Our Sleigh…

We get the chance to try a lot of products over the course of the year, and these are some we have liked and that we keep using. Everyone is different, and there is always the question of what sort of gift to get. Will they like it? How can we delight and surprise the person with something they will love but perhaps have not thought of for themselves? This is our selection, and we hope one of these will hit the right note for that special and hard-to-buy-for person. All our best wishes for a warm and wonderful holiday season.

 

EVEN H4 Bluetooth Headphones

This is the most life-enhancing product of the year for us. We are totally addicted. Everyone who enjoys music — and is there anyone who doesn’t? —  should have a pair of these. Dylan never sounded so good.

We all hear differently, and a 50-year-old does not hear music like a 16-year-old. Common sense, right? Well, traditional headphones are one-sound-fits-all. They don’t aim for, or care about, anyone over 50.

Meet Even: a new headphone brand that recognizes that 50 is awesome with cutting-edge technology that learns and adapts music to your unique hearing. 20+ hours of battery life and a comfortable over-ear design make the Even H4 the perfect gift for the music lover in your life.

The Eye: How the World’s Most Influential Creative Directors Develop Their Vision

This book has been of greater inspiration to me than any other I have read this year. To be alive is to be creative, and this is a book about the creative process of some of the most creative minds working today and in the past. It is a picture book, but more than that it’s these extraordinary people talking about the process and how they do what they do. From fashion to publishing to entertainment, these are the people who move the culture. In the world we live in today, we are all the creative directors of our own lives. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in upping their game in the world of visual creativity.

Oura Ring Sleep/Fitness Tracker

We read that David Sinclair wears one, then we started to see some of our friends wearing them, then we became very curious about this device. It measures and tracks not just sleep patterns, but heart rates, activity, and recovery. We very much like to know as many measurables about our bodies as we can get, and this is the body monitor we are liking best. Fashion tip: If you find the finish too shiny, a bit of roughing up with a dish scrubber will take care of that.

EIGHTEEN B Skincare Holiday Sets

A couple of our team members have been using Eighteen B day and night and just love it. Gentle, effective, glowing. We are big fans of this brand.

Eighteen B harnesses the power of silk — one of the strongest materials in the natural world — to reinforce the natural skin barrier. After studying silk proteins for a decade, Lindsay Wray, PhD, realized she could use silk to create more effective skincare products. Lindsay and her team engineered the proprietary b-silk™ protein to mimic the properties of spider silk. B-silk™ protein is lustrous, strong, and biocompatible. It forms a lightweight, breathable barrier that supports the natural skin barrier for skin that looks healthy, glowing, and silky smooth.

Healthy, glowing skin requires a healthy skin barrier. An unhealthy skin barrier can lead to dryness, dullness, and irritation. And yet, the skin barrier is constantly at risk from environmental aggressors and harsh ingredients. B-silk™ protein acts as both a carrier and a barrier. It carries nourishing, hydrating ingredients to the skin and acts as a lightweight barrier that keeps them close.

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean White Dial 42mm

Men’s watches are tricky. Because they are one of the few legit accessories men get to wear, they are loaded with meaning. Probably like a lot of men, we are constantly prowling the watch sites for inspiration. We came upon this Omega seeing it on a very in-the-know friend of ours and thought the white on white was so utterly modern and forward-looking without looking frivolous. This is a tough order and we think this Planet Ocean in white does it very well. The white ceramic dial with the white face looks amazing. The model is discontinued, but we were able to find a few of them available.

We are all about scent, and it is very difficult to make a good one This one, developed by fashion royalty Inez and Vindooh, has stood the test of time for us. It is called 1996, and perhaps there is something to the name we don’t know, but for us it all about the alluring combination that has us coming back for more.
