Squirrel-y
Last-Minute Gifts at Stel’s
Some of you have four days left to shop. Others, a little longer. Either way: you’re cutting it close. So you may want to consider The Shiny Squirrel Pop-Up inside Stel’s. It runs until January 4. Here are some of our favorite pieces in it. Happy holidays.
Kool Kan Koozie
Koozies are serious business, and losing one can just ruin someone’s day. Thankfully, this aluminum can
koozie—made in Wichita Falls, Texas—is not only ensconced in hunter-orange vinyl, but also acts as a
floatation device when dropped in water. For a beer, not you.

- $8, Kool Kan Koozie
Nokona Walnut Baseball Glove
The only thing better than a new baseball glove: an already-broken-in new baseball glove. Enter the Nokona
Walnut mitt, which comes with that game-ready feeling (it’s pre-oiled) as well as something called
H-webbing (good for fly balls). A must-have if you throw out a lot of first pitches.

- $200, Nokona Walnut Baseball Glove
Terrapin Stationery
Good stationery should really say something about you in the header. So for that person who identifies with
a fly fisherman’s lure, an anchor, a black crow or a deer, grab them some of this stationery from a paper
company that’s been family-run since 1913. No, not Dunder Mifflin.

- 5 for $20, Terrapin Stationery
General Knot Ties
There’s no such thing as owning too many ties. Especially when they’re made from 40-year-old recycled
lamb’s wool and other fabrics, like these limited-production bow ties and neckties from New
England–based General Knot & Co. Lamb’s-wool ties are best presented full-Windsor.

- $70-$110, General Knot Ties
Corter Leather Guitar Picks
Your musician friend has a leather guitar case and a leather strap. So to complete the all-leather rock
look, go for these guitar picks by Eric Heins, the sole craftsman, designer and sewer of Boston-based Corter
Leather. He also has business-card holders, because nothing says business like leather.

Only what you need to know.
