Updated daily, the Buy section is a deep directory of stuff we love. From this collection we organize Gift Guides for the holiday season and special occasions all year long.
Made from all-natural ingredients like beeswax, soybean oil and coconut oil, these massage oil candles by Emily & Tony nourish the skin while stimulating the senses. Available in Fougere, Cream de Vanilla and Coco, the France-made candles set the mood with their addicting aromas, and the spout makes them easy to pour. If you cant choose between the three, the Mnage Trois gift set allows you to mix and match.
NYC-based Todd “REAS” James’ oil on canvas “Sundown, A Compilation of Mellow Hits” (2015) encompasses all that we love about the artist’s current work. His sexy subject, bright color palette and sparing use of black lines makes this painting look like a postcard from another world. Plus, the girl’s tenderly painted tan-line is the perfect bonus on the already sublime scene.
Brooklyn-based artist Penelope Gazin has the perfect patch to support your local girl gang—or indeed rep your very own. The playful, chenille patch might be a sweet colorway of baby blue and pink, but it bears fair warning that you walk with back-up in tow. The patch is available individually or in bulk—depending on how deep your club rolls.
With three different settings, the Eva vibrator from women-led company Dame is powerfully buzzy considering its size. But what makes it stand out from other offerings are its two flexible wings, which tuck under the labia majora for hands-free clitoral stimulation. The Eva was designed (by women) to be used during intercourse, but can definitely be used for solo sessions, too.
Skye Chalmers and Tina Hartell—the duo behind Bobo’s Mountain Sugar—refuse to cut corners when it comes to their Vermont Dark Maple Syrup. Each spring, they harvest sap from roughly 2,500 trees, boiling down 55 gallons to produce just one gallon of the rich, liquid gold. Pour it over homemade pancakes or, better yet, mix it with ginger, apple cider vinegar and cold water for a refreshing Vermont Switchel.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hubble Telescope’s launch into low-Earth orbit, “Expanding Universe” (published by Taschen) is 255 pages of super high-resolution images taken from the telescope. The mesmerizing colors, shapes and textures within only add to our already palpable fascination with outer-space, and makes for a beautiful dose of perspective on days you need it most.
With AARK Collective’s Classic Yolk watch, it’s all about balance. Despite what initially reads as a minimal design, the personality behind the piece hails from more than just its vibrant color. The geometry of the hands and details upon the face make it something more, but never too much. And while it’s punchy outside, inside you’ll find a Japanese quartz movement, protected by a stainless steel case that keeps it water- and shock-resistant.
Until autonomous vehicles take over, the new Max 360 radar-detector from Escort will defend you from pesky speed traps. The super-precise warning system boasts dual antenna for constant scanning, GPS-powered AutoLearn technology to prevent false alarms and Digital Signal Processing for a rapid response time. And if that’s not enough to keep you ticket-free, Escort will pay for your first offense.
Host an apologetic party with Adam J Kurtz’s tongue-in-cheek balloons: they show guests you’ve reached enlightenment by acknowledging the truth. Especially if you’re the only guest. There’s a matching gold enamel pin if you need (or are obligated) to emphasize the message.
Toronto-based Inner Decay has a knack for making eye-catching pins and patches that stir-up all kinds of feelings. Their straightforward “The End” patch marks a conclusion—whether it’s a story’s happily-ever-after ending, the last statement in an argument, or something a little more grim. The three-inch round patch comes with an iron-on backing and its black-and-white colorway makes it easy to match.
Brooklyn-based industrial design studio Visibility and food design publication MOLD have collaborated on a borosilicate glass pitcher that’s more than just pretty to look at. Whether using it as a wine carafe, a mixing bowl or something else altogether, the pitcher’s colorful silicone rings can be moved or removed entirely according to the measurements you need at the time. Dishwasher- and microwave-safe, it holds hot or cold liquids and promises to be a super-useful addition to the kitchen.
There’s nothing like a pocket-sized notebook to keep track of what really matters. With Rude Notebook’s handmade “People I Want To Punch In The Face” journal, it’s really all in the name. It’s petite, pretty (with a soft buckrum cover, hot-stamped with gold lettering) and we’ve found that writing things down actually helps ease frustration.
Adrienne Fisher personally bundles her carefully sourced herbs (wild-harvested white sage from California, lavender from Long Island’s North Fork, wild sweetgrass from Illinois and roses from the local farmer’s market) into beautiful smudge sticks. She takes great care during the wrapping process—asking customers to email a little bit about themselves and their intentions—so she can have that in mind to help manifest. As the white sage burns its distinct scent throughout the room, channel stress, negative energy, the past—and whatever else you want to release—into the smoke.
For the past three decades, anonymous gorilla-mask-bearers Guerrilla Girls have been protesting gender and racial discrimination in politics, art, culture and more—all with a sense of down-to-earth humor. Bringing the street activism right into the home is their bold three-piece collaboration with Australian design studio Third Drawer Down. A handkerchief kindly calls out art collectors who own few works by women, a mug bears “Do Women have to be naked to get into the Met?” and a tea towel details the so-called “advantages” of being a women artist.
Sometimes a little bit of fire goes a long way. This much can be said of the “Don’t Stop” sandalwood vanilla massage candle, which, when lit pours off rich, scented oil. The warm liquid has been infused with Shea butter, vitamins and rich botanicals that moisturize, stimulate and soften the skin. The package comes complete with a porcelain coaster for resting the candle on for safety.
Inspired by the founders’ Egyptian background, the 14k gold vermeil Eye Ring is subtle but, of course, offers the wearer protection. The glistening deep blue and gold are offset by cut-out sections, making it a statement piece—contrasting delicacy with boldness. Helmed by three sisters, ANMARE sources materials locally and keeps all production in New York.
