Getting down to last minute shopping, I see. It’s definitely too late to get something monogrammed, special ordered or shipped from overseas if you want it under the tree by Christmas. But that doesn’t mean it’s too late to get a cool gift. Whether he’s a boozer or she’s a cruiser, having a pocket sized flask to fill on a whim is a must-have item. With 3 cheeky inscriptions, there’s one to surely suit your last minute giftee. Plus it comes complete with its own box, ask us to slap a bow on it, and it’s 100% giftable, NOW.
The stockings may be hung by the chimney with care, but that doesn’t make a lick of a difference if they aren’t properly stuffed. Ikuyo Ejiri’s colorful silicone pouches are a fun, bold riff on classic purse and wallet shapes, but done with a kooky twist. Not only are they super fun, the tough silicone wipes clean with just a damp cloth. The only problem is stopping the kids and grown-ups from fighting over who gets what color.
Not ready for the heart-to-heart convo with your lady this Christmas season? The countdown is on: 4 days till Christmas. If you still need a last minute idea, here are two easy gifts that show your love for that special someone without actually having to say those three special words. Laugh Cry Repeat’sGold Heart Tee and the Black Heart Tote. Give her one she’ll be happy; give her both, and she’ll forget about the “I Love You” altogether.
I hope to see you all at the BKc Holiday Party tomorrow night. I thought it was a rumor…open bar all night?! I guess it’s the truth. Purchase a Falling Whistle from their shop on Fillmore and get free entry to the party. Say hello to Gabe, Earl, the rest of the gang…oh and ME!
We know that you have plenty of holiday parties to go to this season, and it’s usually tradition to wear something festive. I say avoid the ugly Christmas sweater all together and opt for a more stylish alternative. Enter the Christmas Tartan- by Gitman Brother’s(and sisters) Vintage. Buy them for all your relatives, and make it a family photo to be proud of!
The inside of an alien planet? The wreckage of a ball pit explosion? Nope, just the insane texture from one of the new VPL pieces from their Resort 2012 collection. Knits, dresses, and—of course—more of our favorite bras ever.
One of our favorite new things this season hasn’t been something you wear, but something you sip. Our new store, ACRE/SF, serves hot drip coffee made from Blue Bottle Coffee Co.’s Giant Steps beans, in honor of our location a hop, skip, and a jump from the Filbert Steps. A rich, hearty blend of Sumatran and Ugandan organic coffee, it’s a classic coffee lover’s coffee and we offer it both in hot and iced drinks as well as in whole beans by the half pound. Pair a bag with our ceramic tromp l’œil coffee cups for a delightfully delicious gift combo. And if that’s not quite your cup of tea, then swing by ACRE/SF to see all the other great housewares and gifts we have to help you fill each stocking with care.
Kikkerland Ceramic Coffee Cup ($15) and Giant Steps 0.5 lb bag ($9) available exclusively at ACRE/SF, 301 Union St.
Your crazy friend is well…crazy! She’s fun at parties and lives by the expression, “you don’t need a dick to have balls”. This holiday season, give the belle with the balls a piece that is just as bold as she is. The Lets F Muscle Tee by UNIF is the piece that says it all, or doesn’t…stay with me here. Disguised as an unassuming screen printed tee, it folds up to display a secret message. She’ll love it, trust me. Feeling a little badass yourself? Our holiday UNIF collection includes other prints: all different, but equally rad!
LA-based brand UNIF is the newest collection to hit the holiday circuit here at Acrimony. Best known for their crude graphic tee’s, they’ve expanded into outerwear and bottoms that are sure to blow your mind. Peep some of the out takes from the latest photo shoot for our new favorite it-girl brand.
What’s better than a present? How about a present inside a present? Marie Turnor’s trompe l’oeil bags have become a new favorite of our entire staff (and give how often we’ve had to restock them, you guys like them, too), so pass on the stocking altogether and stuffing the Dinner Clutch with some goodies instead. It’s chic, easy, and who doesn’t love a gift box that’s good for more than just re-gifting?
