I know, so much product these last few weeks! But what can I say, I'm on my grind. Or something. As a counterpart to last week's
gift guide, this is all just stuff that's made and sold here in Brooklyn, with a cameo or two by some distant island they call Manhattan. I think if I weren't on the world's tightest budget right now I'd spring for the walnut valet tray and/or the
In God We Trust jewelry. I already own the bookends (amaze), but if I didn't I'd be all over the Coil Drift book display.
At the end of the day the only gift I'll probably commit to is a couple of
Mast Brothers chocolate bars wrapped in twine. It's the gift that keeps on giving, because once I give it to you (mom, dad) I find one way or another to eat half of it while you aren't looking. Merry Christmas!
Saito wood coaster at
Personnel of New York. (Anecdote: These are my favorite coasters. They're
Japanese plywood and they look just as good used as intended with my
Heath mug as they do as bases for my
Lite Cycle pillar candles. I bought one at
Tortoise in
L.A. and then picked up three more at Personnel last week, which means there are only two left in stock for you. I'm sure they'd be happy to place another order if you're not shopping on a deadline.)
