sss | Hello readers! Contrary to what lots of retailers and other publications are telling you right now, if you're still shopping for holiday gifts, you are not yet shopping for "last-minute" holiday gifts. Any procrastinator worth his salt knows that we've still got a solid 10 days before we're in that territory. But still, you might want to get moving. If you're looking for ideas, allow us to point you toward our many gift guides, where you'll find suggestions for pretty much everyone in your life. And if you're looking to buy presents for one or all of your favorite InsideHook staffers, see below for the items everyone on our team is asking for this year. Hope you're enjoying the season. |

| | Lunya Washable Silk Robe | | Catch me in this robe every single day of the week. It’s my getting-ready robe, my stuffing-my-face-with-pasta-while-I-watch-The-Real-Housewives robe and the robe I drink red wine in. Why? Because not only do I look and feel amazing in this luxurious silk beauty, but it’s a garment that can handle a spin cycle after a few accidental stains. — Logan Mahan, Assistant Editor | | BUY HERE: $248 |
|
| | Elevated Cocktail Shaker | | Cocktail shakers are great until the lid and/or top get hermetically stuck in place, at which point removing them becomes a feat straight out of Arthurian legend. This shaker solves for that with a long overdue fix: everything screws on and off. Plus: double-walled insulation in case you need to transport hot soup and have misplaced your Thermos. — Walker Loetscher, Editor in Chief | | BUY HERE: $70 |
|
| | Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt | | I like to find one garment that works and buy every color I can find so I don't need to think too hard when I roll out of bed. Finding the right flannel shirt has always felt like an uphill battle: some are papery and feel like trash, others get way too scratchy and make me want to claw my skin off. Filson's Alaskan Guide Shirt is the Platonic ideal of flannels. If my family loves me, they'll stock my closet full of these. — John Hill, Social Media Editor | | BUY HERE: $135 |
|
| | Adidas Z.N.E. 01 Noise Canceling Headphones | | If you're the type of person who doesn't own a phone that was invented by Steve Jobs, you probably don't have AirPods, either. There are a number of alternatives, but not all of them feature active noise canceling technology and are designed to be worn everywhere from the subway to the gym. The Adidas Z.N.E.s do both of those things. — Evan Bleier, Senior Editor | | BUY HERE: $189 |
|
| | "Great Escapes USA: The Hotel Book" | | Featuring a number of legendary landscapes across the U.S., with accommodations to match, I anticipate Great Escapes USA: The Hotel Book will provide no shortage of inspiration when it's time to plan my next domestic trip ... and it's sure to look great on my coffee table in the meantime. — Lindsay Rogers, Assistant Editor | | BUY HERE: $60 |
|
| | Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandouliere 45 | | Like literally every woman alive, I am the proud but often inconvenienced owner of a Louis Vuitton Neverfull that is literally always full, which means I now need a bigger luxury sack in which to haul all my shit around. — Kayla Kibbe, Associate Editor | | BUY HERE: $2,230 |
|
| | Messermeister Sharpening Stone | | Any chef worth his salt will tell you that a sharp knife is the number-one essential kitchen tool. This Sharpening Stone from Messermeister will keep that blade sharp enough to filet, dice, chop and julienne your way to culinary success. — Matt Lagnese, Ad Operations Manager | | BUY HERE: $30 |
|
| | Aurate XL Mixed Cut Diamond Ring | | I was given the Aurate Icon Ring with Black Diamonds about five years ago, and I haven't taken it off since. This year I'm eyeing the Aurate XL Mixed Cut Diamond Ring. I love that it's a bit unusual and features both baguette and brilliant diamonds. It's sophisticated and timeless, and even though I'm waiting for *the* ring, I certainly wouldn't be disappointed opening this. (If you're looking for something a little less spendy, consider this one.) — Marilyn Jordan, Operations & Branded Entertainment Manager | | BUY HERE: $3,000 |
|
| | Made-In Champagne Saber | | IMHO, the optimal gift is something you want but would never buy for yourself. Which is why, when I saw that Made-In was releasing a CHAMPAGNE SABER, I slapped that bad boy right on my wishlist spreadsheet. It's now my dream to whip this out at a party to dazzle and alarm the crowd with my sick skills and giant CHAMPAGNE SABER. — Elisabeth Chambry, Director of Commerce and Partnerships | | BUY HERE: $200 |
|
| | Ginori Il Letterato Scenting Totem | | I've always loved fragrance and candles — problem is, candles tend to burn out quickly (and pretty much all look the same). With this candle, you get a piece of artwork from a historic porcelain company, and it's also refillable! — Kevin Breen, Fashion Director | | BUY HERE: $400 |
|
| | The Tula Mic | | As a journalist, I don't miss my clunky old cassette recorder, but I do miss using a recording device that isn't my iPhone. These colorful and portable USB mics not only work on their own as a mobile recorder, they're also microphones that are ideal for podcasting or improving your Zoom call audio. — Kirk Miller, Managing Editor | | BUY HERE: $229 |
