2-in-1 Chess + Checkers Set
$55.00
With chess and checkers pieces distinguished by bright colors and graphics, this two-in-one game set is intended for anybody over the age of five. NYC-based product designer Panisa Khunprasert designed the kit, drawing influence from growing up around her family’s wooden toy business in Bangkok. The double-sided board also acts as a sliding lid for the set, and all pieces are made from sustainably grown rubberwood.

Gemmist
Scalp Balancing Bar
$25.00
Before purchasing any Gemmist products, customers take a hair quiz that includes prompts beyond the standard questions about color treatments, thickness and texture. With shampoo and conditioner available, the women-owned brand also has a Scalp Balancing Bar on offer. Intended for use once a week, this paraben-free soap exfoliates and stimulates the scalp—removing build-up and invigorating hair follicles. Though sulfate-free, the bar works up a satisfying lather and smells delicious. It also comes packaged just in a little cardboard box, reducing your use of single-use plastic bottles.

Acqua di Parma
Bergamotto Di Calabria La Spugnatura
$240.00
Milan-based Acqua di Parma’s latest fragrance, “Bergamotto Di Calabria La Spugnatura” is immediately bright and citrus-forward, but grounded with rich notes of cedar and vetiver. The fragrance’s bergamot essence is extracted by hand through an ancient four-step artisanal technique. Housed in a hand-painted porcelain bottle, this limited edition fragrance incorporates citrus, florals, leather and smoky notes, but the result isn’t overwhelming; rather it’s soft and alluring.
