1) Gifts for the Sequestered Adventurer
This Land is My Land beach towel
NYC Fishing Journal by Yi Xin Tong
Blue Tora-San High Top Japanese Workman's Shoes
Travel has been sharply restricted, but that doesn’t stop many of us from daydreaming of escape. Send your adventurous friend a beach towel or NYC Fishing Journal by Yi Xin Tong to encourage a well-deserved staycation. Dress the whole family in Towelkinis for bathtime. This gift package is for those who aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
2) Gifts for the Antisocial Entertainer
Stay As Long As You Like Brass Keychain
Terracotta Candle Bowl by Fredericks and Mae
Ten Nights of Dreams by Yuchen Chang
One is the loneliest number, unless it means a cozy night in curled up with an extra large martini served in a ceramic vessel by Lu Zhang and a modern oracle reading from The Deck of Character. You don’t need a crowd to justify drawing the curtains and lighting a witchy candle. Singles, only children, and Aquarius suns know: the only one you can fully trust is yourself.
3) Gifts for the Urban Gardener
Tubers Planters by Benjamin Langford
Yellow Columbine wall sculpture by Benjamin Langford
Green Twist Tie Ring by E for Effort
Steel Toe Green Boots Japanese Workman's Shoes
If you are just a nature lover in a concrete jungle, this song is for you. Adorn your home with a fabric sculpture by Benjamin Langford or pot a new cutting inside a felt planter. Splash through puddles on the sidewalk with waterproof Japanese Workman boots. Then, visit Special Special’s Plant Residency and Langford’s exhibition Late Summer. If there’s anything that this year taught us, it’s that this is the year for houseplants.
4) Gifts for the Unproductive Writer
Small Medium Big Ideas Notebook Set
Coaster Painting by Patrick Carlin Mohundro
Cardan Grille Bookmark and Letter-Writing Set
Can’t seem to find the right words? Plagued by writers’ block? These accessories combined provide some mental gymnastics for the immobilized writer. Maybe it’s a matter of reorganizing ideas by their size or making your own rules. Add a resting place for coffee, and your creative energy will be flowing in no time.
