San Francisco

Through Dec the SF designer's nostalgically fantastical tees're half-off, including new designs like an intricately rendered locomotive chugging away over thick stripes, a winged unicorn flapping through outer space, and a gramophone spouting out a topless woman ("Rhapsody in Boobs"?).

Relaunched by Amsterdam's Lucas Bols (around since 1652), Genever's the Dutch gin that first anchored cocktails like the Holland House and the Collins, consequently inspiring jealous Brits to invent dry gin. The new version includes 50% triple-distilled malt wine, 42% neutral grain alcohol, and a blend of botanicals kept proprietary save for juniper, known as the "Glory Berry" for being totally useless aside from helping make hooch.

Oaktown's Elfster automates the Secret Santa process for you: tell it when/where and flow in contacts from your email, and it'll collect sign ups, randomize the drawing, facilitate anonymous questions between participants, and let them specify gifts they categorically don't want -- thereby torpedoing the traditional translation of "secret" as "cheap, and fruitcake".

Fit for both the holiday party and the ill-advised holiday after-party, this dual purpose coat features horizontal corduroy on one side (so soft, they claim it's "vagisoft") and floral-patterned silk on the other. Accents include a contrast cashmere under-collar, as well as a silken breast-pocket "autohankie" on the cord side, hinting at both the lounginess beneath, and the fact that you have consumption.
