Snuggle Pod Footmuff

For keeping babies warm when strolling, nothing tops the soft cozy feel of pure sheepskin. Elks & Angels use 100% Australian sheepskin in their footmuff, using a nylon outer shell to resist wind, rain and stains. Scandinavian wood toggles add a dose of style and the design is compatible with all five-point stroller harnesses. Last but not least, it unzips flat so you can use it as a playmat—or in a pinch, a blanket.

Premium Aged Whiskey

$60.00

Many don’t know that a Tennessee slave, Nearest Green, taught Jack Daniels how to distill—even going on to work for Daniels as a black master distiller after the Civil War. Armed with thousands of documents, author Fawn Weaver convinced brand owner Brown-Forman to recognize Green’s role and incorporate it into the Jack Daniels story, where it’s always belonged. She’s now released her own whiskey to further spread his untold legacy, and the bulk of profits of Uncle Nearest Whiskey sales will be put toward funding more historical research on Green.

Scary Bingo

$20.00

As far as group games go, bingo might just be one of the easiest activities to enjoy. Now, artist Rob Hodgson has reimagined the classic with monsters and crazy creatures. There are googly-eyed counters, creepy characters and mythological beasts—and a monster head storage box for the 48 chips. Three people are needed to play (and three is also the recommended starting age) but bigger families can definitely all jump in.

MelonAid

$50.00

Amino acid-rich, live and sprouted watermelon seeds compose Dope Naturally’s MelonAid textured protein powder. The seeds are included whole to maximize their nutritional benefit so the powder should be blended in a smoothie if you’re not keen to crunch on it, though it can be dropped atop yogurt or cereal, as well. The powder component is made from beets, dragonfruit and strawberries to stimulate energy, reduce inflammation and promote skin health. Altogether, it’s a great tasting plant-based protein and superfood supplement that’s also organic, vegan, raw and gluten-free.

The latest in Champagne Taittinger’s Millésimé range, the 2012 vintage carries the desirable balance of crisp freshness and an elegant delicacy.

The 2012 Millésimé undergoes a second fermentation and a five year aging period on the lees. Pear and green apple are noticeable on the palate and the finish happens to be long and complex.

Available in two worn-in looking colorways (weathered red or summer blue), each Natural Dye Crew Tee by Goodlife + American Trench is slightly different, thanks to the process.

The 50/50 blend of American-grown Supima cotton and modal makes for a very soft and comfortable fit, and they are manufactured in Los Angeles, but hand-dyed in Philadelphia.
