Offering a 100 foot bluetooth range, Alpine Labs’ Pulse Camera Remote plugs directly into one’s camera by way of the USB port, and pairs with a dedicated smartphone app. More than just letting a user snag a photo, the remote delivers wireless control of ISO, shutter speed and aperture.

Everyday Backpack

$260.00

The first thing one notices about Peak Design’s Everyday Backpack happens to the be the ultra-clean aesthetic. It’s quite deceptive, in a very good way, as the design conceals a plethora of substantial storage spaces. There’s a patented MagLatch top access, allowing for a quick retrieval of goods, a dedicated sleeve for laptops (up to 15 inches), internally padded accessory pockets and that’s just the start. Two expandable external side pockets make for fast stowing, but the FlexFold dividers in the central compartment offer reconfigurable organization in this truly versatile bag.

15 Year Trilogy Irish Whiskey

$98.00

Thanks to finish in special casks formerly used for rum (after aging in an array of former bourbon and former Sherry casks), this latest expression from Irish whisky maker Tullamore DEW carries tropical fruit vibrance. There’s substantial depth, with a chocolate core but spice and fruit continue to appear through the whisky’s very long finish.

Japanese Indigo Peace Sign T-Shirt

$150.00

Dyed and printed in Japan on 100% combed, ring-spun cotton yarn, this T-shirt has a few messages up its sleeves. Of course, there’s the graphic on the front encouraging peace. But further details, from the vintage-inspired small cut-out gussets at each side to the half moon panel on the back for position, define this as more than a novelty T-shirt. It offers a classic fit, and the fabric feels quite substantial without excess weight—due to choice of a heavier yarn but looser knit.

18th Century Style Whiskey

$80.00

From 100% rye malt, this overproof whisky refines the essence of old-world distilling. SF’s Anchor Distilling produces the spirit through antique copper pot stills and mimics the aging process of the 18th century. With flavors drawn from specially toasted barrels, Old Potrero delivers vanilla and molasses notes on the tongue with spice to the finish. There’s a smokiness on the nose, but a delicate sweetness really defines the drink.
