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.
Mister Green’s Double Insulated Bong Water Bottle keeps liquids cold for approximately 24 hours or hot for about 12 hours. The BPA- and phthalate-free stainless steel thermos jokingly reads Bong Water, features a finger-carry lid (for easy toting) and a lite-duty carabiner, too—which can be upgraded to a Mister Green Gear carabiner for $10. Available in plenty of colorways, it can hold 750ml.
LA-based Uno Atelier’s Medium Planter (which measures 3 by 3 inches) utilizes the brand’s favorite material: concrete. The planters have drainage holes to better accommodate all kinds of plants, and are available in various colorways—including some with marbled effects.
A playful pet pattern adorns AELFIE’s organic cotton Fetch! sheet, which has been screen-printed by hand. Made to fit most cribs, but the brand asks that you be sure it fits snugly (loose fabric is dangerous for sleeping toddlers) and wash before first use. The Pomeranian-covered print was designed by Hawaii-based artist Kim Sielbeck and will please pup-loving tots and caregivers alike.
Symbolizing abundance, fertility and love in various religions and cultures, the pomegranate promises good fortune and health. These handmade porcelain pomegranates from Tel Aviv’s SIND Studio appear delightfully abstract thanks to their hand-painted patterns and colors. While no two are the same, all feature real gold paint contrasting more subdued hues.
With the purchase of Cuddle + Kind’s handcrafted, premium cotton-constructed Maya the Mermaid doll, 10 meals are donated to schoolchildren who are in need—via partnerships with World Food Program USA’s School Meals Program, Children’s Hunger Fund, Breakfast Club of Canada and WE Charity School Nutrition Program. Further, the sale of these fair-trade dolls also supports 750 artisans in Peru. Maya is handmade in two sizes (20 or 13 inches) and will provide kids with plenty of company, comfort and inspiration for playtime.
With contributions from Cypress Hill members B-Real, Sen Dog and Eric “Bobo” Correa, FITZ Games’ HotBox card game prompts players to uncover comedy gold with each flip of a card. Dares and challenges populate the game, too, which comes with 420 cards per deck. From “take a shot of ranch” to “FaceTime your ex,” the weed-powered card game is still wildly fun when played with friends over Zoom. Cypress Hill also produced an extension pack for the game, available for $13, that pertains to their music.
An Hermès fragrance for all genders, L’Ombre des Merveilles weaves together the aromas of tonka bean and black tea. Helmed by in-house perfumer Christine Nagel, the scent exudes a woodsy, almost incense-like undercurrent. Sculptor Serge Mansau designed the star-speckled magnifying bottle, which rocks gently into one’s hand.
Recently launched Rasāsvāda concoctions are made from hand-gathered whole plants often used in ancient traditions and contemporary customs. These non-alcoholic botanical blends (“spirit restoratives” as the brand calls them) provide benefits that include aiding digestion, reducing stress and more. Available in three complex iterations—Rose Bergamot, Black Ginger and our favorite, the fresh and bitter Ruby Artemisia—these delightful drinks come in 375ml or 750ml bottles, and in cases of three or 12. Multi-packs of all three flavors are also available.
Featuring Tim Presley artwork from exhibitions at Chicago’s Soccer Club Club and LA’s The Pit, the book Under the Banner of Concern complements its visual power with some of the artist’s poetry. Abstract yet identifiable, Presely’s portraiture relies on his signature “every figure” symbology, marked by sunken eyes and hollowed out, almost stick figure-like, bodies. In some spreads, black and white figures clash or contrast, and sometimes collaborate within a larger scene. Under the Banner of Concern comprises 140 pages and 89 images, including a handful of previously unreleased Presley pieces.
One of the most watched and positively charged Verzuz battles of the year, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott’s glorious session aired in May this year. Brimming with appreciation for one another, neo-soul queens Badu and Scott traded songs, stories and praise during the three-hour set, creating visceral reactions of joy and healing from viewers. To mark the virtual event, Badu released several pieces of apparel, including this hoodie (in black, white, yellow or orange) emblazoned with gradient text. Available from small to 3XL, the same design also appears on T-shirts for all genders.
More than a regular bag to tote your goods around (though it will do that), this bag from Power & Light Press donates all proceeds to Planned Parenthood. In fact, they have donated $97,000 so far. Listing all the services that PP offers—perhaps for those who believe it exists purely to provide abortions—the bag is simply printed with various essentials like pap smears, counseling and more.
Super-sturdy but soft and comfortable, Hedley & Bennett’s 1991 apron pays homage to the early ’90s thanks to its use of acid-washed 10-ounce denim. With two large lap pockets and a small double-compartment chest pocket, there’s plenty of room for notepads and pens for professionals, and whatever home cooks might need to tuck away. The generous 41-inch cotton waist straps make this piece one-size-fits-most, as does the adjustable neck strap.
Composed of 100% woven lyocell with satin accents, CDLP’s robe—part of their new HOME collection—offers relaxed comfort with a sartorial edge. From its rich burgundy colorway to the lustrous, sustainable and breathable material, the handsome robe looks and feels elegant. Each has been consciously crafted in Portugal, as with other products from the Swedish brand.
For the first time, all Sade’s albums will be available as a complete set in the six-record collection This Far. Sade (Sade Adu, Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale and Paul Spencer Denman), producer Mike Pela and mixing engineer Miles Showell remastered the albums at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios, working meticulously to reproduce the band’s intended sound. Packaged in a case-bound box, the collection is available for pre-order now.
A Napa Valley standout, Silver Oak‘s eco-focused winemaking and dedication to Cabernet set them apart year after year. The brand’s winemaker, Nate Weis, has created Timeless, celebrating the accomplishments of the brand’s co-founder Ray Duncan, in honor of his 85th birthday. With only 1,700 cases available, this limited edition wine is certain to sell quickly. Sold as a three-bottle set, this wine promises to age well.
Sundae School’s “Honor Roller” cap is more than a 420-friendly slogan. The hat also features a loop on the right-hand side that’s just big enough to hold a joint—or anything joint-shaped. Equal parts silly and practical, this cap is made for summer adventures.
