The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner (2017)

$55.00

Textured, luscious and just juicy enough, The Prisoner Wine Company’s 2017 “The Prisoner” boasts notes of ripe berries balanced by rich flavors of chocolate and roasted fig. The Napa Valley blend (inspired by the field blends, or “mixed blacks,” traditionally made by European farmers) incorporates zinfandel, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, petite sirah and charbono. Rather than becoming a flavor hodgepodge, the mélange of grapes results in a remarkably smooth but striking wine.

Samgyetang Ginseng Chicken Soup Toy

$42.00

From Seoul-based start-up Bacon, this toy offers pups plenty of entertainment. Inside the plush chicken (which measures 23 by 18 cm), dog owners can stuff the other ingredients for a Samgyetang soup: a chestnut and jujube (that both squeak) and ginseng (that crinkles). Not only do the sounds entertain your pooch, but the act of retrieving the tinier toys from within taps into their hunting instincts. This kind of activity may also provide dogs with stress relief and owners a slightly macabre giggle.

Yamato Indigo

Indigo Garment Dye Kit

$65.00

A powdered indigo dye developed at Aikuma Senryo (originally a Chinese herbal apothecary founded in Tokyo circa 1818), Yamato Indigo makes it easy to dye apparel, accessories and other fabrics at home. This kit includes enough of each individual component to concoct a large vat of dye in order to lend a vibrant hue to shirts, pants and even sneakers. Specifically, that means 50 grams of Yamato Indigo dye, 100ml of vinegar, 100ml of a fixative, as well as a portion of soda ash and Sodium Hydrosulfite (and possibly a pair of rubber gloves, current shortage pending). Instructions are easy and the entire process is fun as a group activity, too.

Prism Chiminea Outdoor Fireplace

$495.00

The vision of NYC-based architect and designer Drew Seskunas, this wood burning Prism Chiminea features an angular design that riffs on the Malm fireplaces of the ’60s. This lightweight, portable outdoor item has been assembled from pre-enameled, laser-cut aluminum in Seskunas’ Long Island City studio. The corrosion-proof, heat-resistant material refracts light and the distinct trilateral shape funnels smoke and flame. Seskunas is known by many as the designer of the Prism Planter; the Prism Chiminea aims to open the possibility of outdoor gatherings into the colder months.

Ottolenghi Flavor

Beloved Israeli-English chef, restaurant-owner and food writer Yotam Ottolenghi teamed up with Ixta Belfrage (who works in the Ottolenghi test kitchen) for this vegetable-centric cookbook. Featuring recipes like tofu meatball korma, sticky rice balls in tamarind rasam broth, swede gnocchi with miso butter and more, Ottolenghi Flavor focuses on three fundamentals: process, pairing and produce. Perhaps the most important when it comes to vegetarian food, the techniques (from charring to infusing and beyond) explained within the 320-page book help rookies and experts bring out the flavors in their produce. The resulting dishes are satisfying and robust.

Greenfeast: Autumn, Winter

From English cook and food writer Nigel Slater comes Greenfeast: Autumn, Winter, the second of a pair of recipe books based on the seasons. Each dish (all of which are vegetarian) included within the 320 pages promises to be straightforward and with a firm focus on fresh, seasonal produce. With easy-to-find ingredients and minimal steps, these approachable recipes include cabbage with berbere spice and breadcrumbs, fregola with greens and pecorino, and fennel with cream and pine nuts. Most dishes incorporate dairy, however, so vegans might need to get creative when switching out ingredients.

The Refillable Glamshell Hand Sanitizer

$13.00

Housed in a more design-forward vessel than most hand sanitizers, love dirty’s formula also proves elevated. With 62% alcohol, the sanitizer kills 99.9% of germs but that astringent ingredient’s drying effects are counter-acted with moisturizers and humectants. The resulting effect isn’t sticky or greasy, making this formula ideal for those who want to nourish and not just sanitize. Made to encourage microbiome balance (promoting good bacteria and helping to limit bad bacteria) the sanitizer launched pre-pandemic, is cruelty-free, vegan and boasts a super-light floral fragrance. Larger pump dispensers are also available.
