The UrbanDaddy Miami Holiday Gift Guide
Your holiday conundrum: matching the right gift to the right person. Luckily, we've done the work for you
this year. Ball's in your court…
FOR THE CIGAR AFICIONADO
Cognac-Infused Cigars
These stogies, handcrafted in Honduras using the Dominican's finest tobacco, are bound with paper soaked in
Louis XIII cognac. So when the cigar burns, you're treated to wafts of the liqueur—with notes of fig,
clove and leather. Additional snifter not included.
- 411:
- Sabor Havana, 2600 NW 87th Terrace, 305-436-8860
FOR THE BEACH BUNNY
Artsy Towels at the Standard
In Miami, beachgoers are art lovers, and art lovers are beachgoers. Here, then, is the perfect gift for both
of their sides: a limited-edition terrycloth beach towel with prints from contemporary artists like Peter
Doig and Yoshitomo Nara. Bonus: they're big enough for two.
- 411:
- $95, The Standard Spa, 40 Island Ave, 305-673-1717
FOR THE GOSSIP (OR YOURSELF)
"Miami Babylon" by Gerald Posner
Whether or not you've woken up on the floor of the Versace mansion, you'll appreciate this tome, which
chronicles the power players that make this city the fascinating, seedy beast that it is. Posner leaves no
bold-faced name unscathed, including nightlife's Michael Capponi, real estate's Jorge Perez and playboy
Thomas Kramer. (Hint: there are sex parties.)
- 411:
- Books and Books, 927 Lincoln Rd, 305-532-3222
FOR THE WINE LOVER
Eno's Tasting Card
This present is a lot like a coffee-shop gift card…except so much better. Slip the card into one of
the futuristic wine-dispensing machines at Eno's, and your friend can choose from two to six ounces of 64
different bottles of wine, from Australian syrahs to French cabs.
- 411:
- $20, $50 or $100, Eno's, 920 Lincoln Rd, 305-695-1119
FOR THE SWEET-TOOTHED LUSH
Tequila Cookies at Taylor Made
If you crossed Senor Frog's with Mrs. Field's, you'd get these: lime shortbread cookies topped with tequila
glaze and Hawaiian sea salt. Nothing livens up a holiday party like a batch of liquor-spiked baked
goods…

FOR THE HALF-SHELL ENTHUSIAST
A World Tour at River Oyster Bar
On any given night, this downtown oyster heaven has half a dozen different types of bivalves—from
Kumamotos from Northern California to plump, briny nubbins from Massachusetts. We recommend bestowing this
gift to someone who will bring you along for the ride.
- 411:
- $50 or $100 certificates, ROB, 650 S. Miami Ave, 305-530-1915
Only what you need to know.
