Just need a few last weekend stuffers...
Your Perks: 1) Up to 25% off pocket-size battery packs—so you’ll never have dead-phone anxiety again. 2) Sleek, Swedish-style leather briefcases and bags from Oppermann. 3) A stunning seven-speed bike that folds up in 10 seconds flat. Yes, we counted.
Hypothetical scenario: you’re done shopping for the year. More plausible scenario: you could use a baby-alpaca sweater and a couple soft flannels. The new Alternative Apparel store has those things lying around, and Apolis bags and Baldwin denim, too. They never put anything away.
There are these guys, BloomThat, who frantically bike around the city all day delivering flowers. Which is great. Maybe you’ll need to deploy them soon. But this week they’re also delivering little apple-cranberry pies from Black Jet Baking Company. Bike pie is better than regular pie. It’s science.
How you drink wine now: open bottle, pour into glass, drink. That’s all still the same, really. How you make wine now: visit the Wine Foundry’s website, choose a bottle of something nice, then create your label. Upload images, pick a name, all that. And you’re officially a vintner. Ish.
Man. It’s so stressful sitting on the couch doing nothing. Because you’re also getting all your last-minute holiday shopping done. Flashback: two hours earlier. You downloaded the SixDoors app—it’ll facilitate same-day delivery to your place from more than 60 local shops and bakeries—and ordered stuff. So... exhausting...
It’s a December 24 tradition: family-style rib roast at Hi Lo, with plenty of fries, yule logs and pisco-spiked purple-corn cider for everyone. Sure, it’s not a tradition in the sense that it’s ever happened before, but traditions have to start somewhere.
