It’s that time of year where websites start offering holiday gift-giving guides. And I know most websites do a pretty thorough listing of quality and thoughtful items to give to your loved one, but as it stands, I’m in the midst of finals, I’m pretty sure I just failed my last one, and the only thing on my mind right now is getting super drunk and pouring Cristale on white bitches’ heads. So I apologize in advance for my unkempt gift list. I’ll be adding stuff as it see find it, and hopefully it’ll inspire you.
 |
| These New Balance 996s have the classic aesthetic of the 574, but in a slimmer profile. |
 |
| The duffels from Herschel Supply Co. come highly regarded, but they've got backpacks, totes, ipouches, and more. |
 |
| I've been obsessed with the Porthole since I saw it on Kickstarter. Making your own flavored liquors is a fun DIY project to mess around and get drunk with, but you can use the Porthole to make olive oil and balsamic vinegar and shit. |
 |
| Colored laces - totally copped this idea from GQ, but it's a great and extremely simple idea. |
 |
| Camo NATO straps - camo is shitting on #menswear right now, whether I like it or not. Swap in a new strap to ring in the new year. |
 |
| Denim jackets are so trill. I've got a vintage Levi trucker, but this dark one by J.Crew is pretty rad. |
 |
| $136 and you can pretend you're Irish. It's like a year-round St. Patrick's celebration! |
 |
| If you're going to ask for a watch, don't be a dipshit about it. Rolex watches in colorful swatches! The vintage watch collection at Park & Bond whets my whistle, although they occasionally are on "sale" at Gilt for pretty much the same price. |
 |
| Man jewelry is a good thing to ask for, because if you don't like it, you can regift it to a girl. Really, if you don't know what to get someone, get them a sexually ambiguous, muted, non-threatening gift that everyone can use, but no one really desires. |
 |
| I like quilted jackets, and they have them at Halls. Kind of a fall look more so than winter or spring, so you might grab one on the cheap. |
 |
| These boots are just sick. $745 at Tres Bien but SKKKKKRRRRTTTTT $293 at Park & Bond. |
 |
| You can always donate to a charity, and this is a great idea for people who never "want anything." Take what you would've spent on the grumpy-assed curmudgeon and give it to someone in need. StyleForum is having frequent auctions on great #menswear stuff, with 100% of the proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House. |
Best, and hopefully more "quality" stuff on the way when finals end,
MD
