Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.
But these days? You’d rather not have to put on real pants.
Just in time: a handful of brilliant ways to stave off the winter doldrums without losing sight of the couch.
Get Hands On
Brooklyn-based artist David Cole sources new and rare blocks from around the globe before packing and shipping his fox, bear, and deer taxidermy Lego kits to your door.
Stir Up Trouble
Delivery is for quitters. Chef/author Yvette van Boven’s new Home Made book details practical predinner cocktail recipes, preserving tips, and dessert menus that breathe life into your takeout routine.
Craft a Message
Make those third-grade pot holder seminars pay off. Weave Present&Correct’s colorful paper strips through the included cards inscribed with grown-up greetings from happy birthday to congrats.
Skip the Small Talk
China mugs printed with Charles and Ray Eames’s photographs spark conversations with gravitas. Between sips, take on one of Chez-Sucre-Chez’s cross-stitch looms. Heartfelt messages are anything but subversive. And that’s why we love ’em.
