Carry Bag Waterproof Laptop Sleeve

$62.00

While a sudden downpour can result in wet feet or a bad hair day, it can also destroy one of your most expensive possessions: your laptop. Rains’ “Cary Bag” is a clean, simple and classic laptop sleeve (made for a 13″ Macbook or similar) that features two compartments and also happens to be waterproof—complete with a waterproof zipper. The case is available in black, blue and soil, but our pick is the muted olive green.

Leica X-U Camera

$2,950.00

Makers of dream cameras, Leica knows that some of the best shots are taken on the move or in less than perfect conditions. Their X-U digital camera comes wrapped in an anti-slip rubber exterior and is water-, dust- and shock-proof, so it can take on the rigors of action photography. A great option for adventure photographers and klutzes alike, with a 16.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and a 23mm Summilux lens, it’ll never compromise on image quality.

Mary Jane Candle

$20.00

Available in two sizes (six ounces, which burns for 30-45 hours or eight ounces, which burns for 50-65 hours) Black Candle Society’s Mary Jane candle is made from 100% soy wax that’s blended with organic cannabis flower fragrance oil—so it smells great, but won’t get you high. Also boasting hints of musk and amber, this candle offers a moody aroma without delving into incense territory.

The Universe in Your Hand

$18.00

Writer and physicist, Christophe Galfard (who was supervised at Cambridge by Stephen Hawking) explains and explores incredibly complex ideas in his book “The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time and Beyond” but makes it accessible and fun for anybody with a little cosmos curiosity. Beginning the book five billion years in the future, watching the sun die, Galfard takes readers back to the present day and elucidates difficult concepts like black holes, string theory, parallel universes and the sheer vastness of time and space.

Rap Lyric Fortune Cookies

$50.00

Instead of the go-to generic, vague messages (“A dream you have will come true”), Fortune Cookie Flows are spelling out your future with rap lyrics. Quoting the likes of Nas, Missy Elliott, Kanye West, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and others, the messages aren’t exactly clairvoyant, but with quotes such as “props is a true thug’s wife,” they are much more fun.
