So, this first gift may just be for you to get you warmed up or to give away.
After landing in Los Angeles from San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca, Mexico two years ago, El Silencio has become one of the fastest growing Mezcal companies in LA and is making its way onto cocktail menus across the country.
El Silencio produces only hand-crafted “Premium” and “Super-premium” 100% Agave Mezcal. As you may know, unlike Tequila Agave, Mezcal Agave is roasted in underground pits giving it its’ signature “smoky” flavor.
Try their two variations, Joven and Espadín. Joven is a super premium blend that is smooth, flavorful and exquisite. It has the aroma of sun-dried vegetables, leather, dried fruit, and sweet smoke, and the taste of white pepper, jasmine, fennel, and spices. The finish is lightly charred with touches of tobacco, minerals, and chili.
($70 – $80)
For something a little more intense, try the Espadín, the most versatile premium Mezcal on the market. Espadín possesses a smoke, ash, and baking spices aroma with the taste of roasted figs, sweet potatoes, and charred stone fruit. The finish is predominately white pepper, bell pepper, and a myriad of baking spices. The Espadín is great for sipping or mixing. ($30 – $40) Pick up a bottle at mezcalelsilencio.com.
We know you probably decided to keep a bottle of Mezcal for yourself and we don’t blame you but now it’s feeling a bit hot in the house. Time to turn down the temperature and think of a clever gift for him. Check out this smart wi-fi smart thermostat with remote sensors from Ecobee3. Anyone will be happy to get this as a gift. Who doesn’t want to save money and be able to control their temperature on the go? Ecobee3 works with wireless remote sensors to make him more comfortable in his home while saving him money. The wireless remote sensors measure temperature and occupancy. By knowing which rooms are occupied, ecobee3 makes smarter heating and cooling decisions, delivering more comfort when he is home, and savings when he is away. He will sure love you for this since this is something he never thought of getting before.
Summer is a long way ahead but surprise him with this surfboard and complete his fantasy of always wanting to be a surfer. At least now he can try with this Surfboard from Union. This brand of surfboards has been around since earlier this year. From their shaping bay in Greenpoint, co-founder and help shaper Chris Williams has been cranking out custom boards while opening up the dialogue between shaper and surfer, long reserved for only the pros.
Surfers of any skill level are welcomed to a consultation, so if you were looking to help your brother/dad/buddy/whatever get into surfing in 2016, these are the gentlemen to speak to. Learn more on unionsurfboards.com.
Now that he will be surfing you will need to capture those moments! However, you will now have to play photographer since we know he will love these olloclip lenses.
Olloclip includes a growing line of ground-breaking tools and accessories, including their signature 4-IN-1 Photo Lens and other revolutionary products like the Active Lens and Macro Pro Lens — all designed to be complimentary lens options and elevate the phone photography game. They also recently released the Rose Gold Lens, the newest color way in the family. They range from $70 – $100 and can be picked up at olloclip.com.
Another great gift we suggest for the man who has everything is this cool looking keyring from Svorn. This is definitely a clever idea on making something everyone carries look so luxury. A defining piece of art and function, the Arcus carabiner blends the ferocity of sharp edges with smooth body lines.
Crafted from Zinc alloy, the carabiner is light as a feather and won’t add unnecessary weight to his everyday carrying load, while its carefully selected size will prevent from having an uncomfortable and bulky pants pocket when carried.
Finished in a captivating Chrome Noir that won’t fade over time, the Arcus carabiner keyring is a small piece of sophistication in his hand. It comes in a beautiful gift box so all you have to do is wrap it. Buy it for $40 on svorn.net.
For many men, their favorite, can’t-live-without accessory is their eyewear. Whether it be prescription glasses, designer shades or sports lenses, some men just love their eyewear collection.
However, where do you put all of these expensive accessories when they are not on your face? This year give a one-of-a-kind gift that he will actually use, want and will brag about, the OYOBox. OYOBox is a luxury case that holds eight frames, engineered specifically so he can enjoy his eyewear, protect it and interact with it. Featuring a shatter-proof lid, washable interior, custom hinges, and a velvet base, it’s available in over 10+ colors, including red, green, black, grey, mahogany, orange and blue. It retails at Neiman Marcus ($250-$325)
You must be tired right about now thinking of what you will get him this holiday so we will give you two more last suggestions but we definitely say keep one for yourself since you will need a good nights rest after all of the shopping. Check out these two comfortable pillows. One is from Yogabed and the other from hibr.
The Yogabed pillows are made from Yoga Instant Response Foam™, it has all the benefits of memory foam with none of the limitations. It will also adapt to temperature changes in his neck, head and surroundings, rapidly adjusting pressure-point relief for more responsive molding than with memory foam. The pillow is designed to serve the unique needs of back, side and stomach sleepers.
HIBR also creates memory foam pillows with cooling properties. This next generation pillow incorporates all there is to love about memory foam, but leaves out its notorious drawback – heat retention.
While there are other “cooling” memory foam pillows on the market, they typically include a glued-on, plastic gel layer on the surface, which causes heat to get trapped. HIBR pillows, on the other hand, have cooling properties infused within the foam, as well as a cooling surface-layer that regulates airflow. So, we say instead of getting one… get two but from different places so you can have one and so can he.
