From Honor The Gift’s Art Department collection, these painter shorts reference the range’s tagline “Don’t Mind the Mess” as the heavyweight duck canvas is decorated with custom, hand-treated splashes of paint.

The brand was founded by Russell Westbrook (NBA player for the Houston Rockets) and has a playful, DIY approach that’s reminiscent of Westbrook’s on-court attitude.

Based on the Chinese Medicine technique, facial Gua Sha tools are meant to be used in a gentler manner. This smooth-edged, black obsidian iteration from Alder New York is perfectly shaped to work over the various grooves of your face—from your chin and jaw to cheeks and forehead. After cleansing and applying oil or serum, simply work the tool gently over your face from the center outward. The outcome should not only reduce puffiness and wrinkles, but also accentuate the angles of your cheekbones and jawline. It can also be useful in relieving aches and tension caused by TMJ. Black obsidian itself is believed to help release negativity and offer protection.

As mixed reports and concerns continue to surround vaping, PAX ensures their updated devices are the safest and most effective way to vaporize cannabis concentrate. With their newest offering, the PAX Era Pro, an NFC chip inside each pod connects to a receptor within the body and provides the user the ability to control temperature and dose. The device also has the ability to remember settings for particular pods and display THC levels, producer information, and more within a connected app. (If you’re looking to experience effects immediately, a higher temperature would be your bet. Those looking for a mild dose should set the temperature to its lowest possible notch.) Plus, since PAX Era Pro pods are made, tested and distributed by cannabis producers in partnership with PAX, this is the best way to ensure that what’s inside will do no harm.

From the three-piece Love Collection by Boy Smells (founded by Matthew Herman and David Kien), the Jade Vert all-natural coconut and beeswax candle comes housed in a jade-green glass tumbler.

Published by FUEL and compiled by Trunk Records owner (and self-proclaimed nostalgia lover) Jonny Trunk, Wrappers Delight features 500+ images of British drink, confectionary, and candy packaging from 1950 through 1980. “Decisions about what to include were based on three parameters set by FUEL and myself,” Trunk writes in the book’s introduction. “1) We had to like the item for nostalgic reasons. 2) We had to like it for graphic reasons. 3) We had to have room for it in a 240-page book, which was looking problematic as we started with well over 1,500 items I had selected.” Whether using the book as a reference point for design projects or source of inspiration and entertainment, the contents are sublime—bright, bold, retro, kitsch and everything between.

Published by New York’s Printed Matter, Kameelah Janan Rasheed’s No New Theories is a careful curation of essays, images, unfinished phrases, and in-depth conversations. Using her own writing, works by writers past and present, autocorrected words and phrases, personal images, pop culture references and more, Rasheed formulates a cohesive statement about blackness—and its vastness.

Limited to an edition of 1,000, this book is available in-store or online.
