If the person on your gift list imbibes, consider a bottle of this small-batch tequila from Los Angeles–based La Gritona. The reposado tequila is distilled by famed producer Melly Barajas Cárdenas at her boutique distillery in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The resulting liquor is notably crisp and drinkable.
We’ve put together a selection of fun, useful and clever gifts for that person who always has a trip planned.
This key ring is all of the things it should be—light and easy to use, in one small, graceful loop. Designed and made by Craighill, located in Brooklyn, New York, the 2-inch Closed Helix Key Ring is made from a twist of wire and finished with screw caps.
Each of these one-of-a kind picks has the personal touch that shows you put some real thought and effort into your gift.
The recipient may want to keep one in a reusable shopping bag, as padding for tender produce. Or they may be inspired to tie one up, hobo-style, as a satchel for snacks. The colorful cloths come in sets of three (and don’t be surprised to find your special person investing in a few more down the line).
There’s an option to choose a monthly gift-box subscription, but with the one-off order, your loved one will receive just this box. If you order for February or March, the Sakura Box—a selection from Kyoto inspired by cherry-blossom season—replaces the Seasons of Japan box.
With its beautiful rose-gold finish—made with 1 to 2 microns of real gold—and hexagonal shape, this pen is lovely to use and to look at. And thanks to its smooth-gliding tip, jotting a to-do list feels as stately as penning one’s memoirs.
Since Atlas works directly with local farmers, it’s able to experiment with how the beans are produced; one recent project involved using Majic anaerobic fermentation to draw out more-complex flavors. Your lucky gift recipient can choose their roast and grind preference, and you choose how many deliveries you’d like to sponsor (one or two bags per month, for three, six, or 12 months). Each delivery also includes a postcard with fun facts about that country’s coffee industry, so the gift recipient can learn as they sip.
Don’t be fooled: This cute enameled vessel with a chubby wooden handle isn’t solely for melting butter. It also works as a mini stovetop pot, as a bowl for soup or hot cocoa, or as a ladle or scoop.
Why not pick a piece of jewellery with their zodiac sign or birthstone? Turn a meaningful moment into a work of art? Or find a prezzie that celebrates their passion? Go on, make their day.
It’s just nice. The LilySilk case is made from the highest-quality silk (mulberry) with a respectable momme count (or weight) of 22. Caring for this silk case can be a little fussy—the instructions say to spot-clean with water or to dry clean. Yet senior editor Jen Hunter has had great success regularly hand-washing her cases with Soak detergent. All of the Em excesso effort is well worth it for a sumptuous night’s sleep.
There’s pelo single best way to make popcorn, but after testing a bunch of methods, we’ve found a few tools we prefer over throwing a bag in the microwave.
