Jordan Brand and Virgil Abloh teamed up once again to release the third silhouette in their collaborative history with the women’s Jordan 4 Retro Off-White™ “Sail.” Following the debut of the sneaker during Off-White™‘s Fall/Winter 2020 runway presentation and in his MCA exhibit, Virgil Abloh finally delivered what was one of the most highly-anticipated releases of 2020. Unlike the label’s Air Jordan 5 from this year, the Air Jordan 4 hews true to the original timeless silhouette — offered in women’s sizes — free from cut-outs and inside-out detailing. Instead, the shoe boasts tonal nubuck uppers, complete with matching plastic cages and panels. “SHOELACES” text graces the, well, shoelaces and Off-White™’s familiar Helvetica branding appears on the medial side of the upper, capped off with Off-White™’s zip-tie and a square Jordan Brand tag.

Post Malone x Crocs Dimitri Clog “Barbed Wire”
This surprising collaboration came after Post tweeted, “U can tell a lot about a man by the Jibbitz in his Crocs.” Following up on their first release, which was massively successful and dropped earlier in November, Crocs invited the multi-platinum-recording artist to put his stamp on the Classic Clog in December. The result is this special “Barbed Wire” iteration that sees the slip-on’s rubber upper dipped in yellow and accentuated by a barbed wire graphic and six Post Malone-themed Jibbitz that can be attached to the shoe’s perforations. Finally, a Posty Co™ motif on the lateral heel finishes off the entire look of the collaborative model.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Travis Scott”
Travis Scott teamed up with Nike SB to release his first official skate shoe, the Nike SB Dunk Low “Cactus Jack.” This design follows a similar design aesthetic as seen on the Air Force 1 Low x Travis Scott “Cactus Jack,” featuring an array of materials and prints. This Scott shoe, however, shows off a unique patchwork motif on the upper, with a tan leather base, plaid quarter panels and paisley print overlays, the latter made to tear away to reveal hidden elephant print underneath. The dueling patterns are complemented by rope laces, Cactus Jack tongue tags and mismatched black and pink Swooshes on each shoe. Finishing up the design is a stitching tan midsole paired with a beige rubber outsole.

Palace x Arc’Teryx Alpha SV Jacket
Never ones to disappoint with their collaborations, Palace recently teamed up with Canadian outerwear label Arc’teryx for a fashion match made in icy heaven. In a year that’s seen us all become — by necessity — more outdoorsy, the collab was perfectly timed. Bridging the gap between skate culture and climbing culture, this Alpha SV jacket is the right piece for survival and most importantly, supreme drip while trying to survive. With anatomical shape for fit and comfort, articulated patterning for unrestricted mobility, a laminated hood brim and countless zipper details, gifting this jacket will have you in very good standing with the recipient.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Dior”
Originally revealed at Dior Men’s pre-fall 2020 show in Miami, Jordan Brand connected with Parisian fashion house Dior to create history with the Jordan 1 Retro High “Dior,” now available on StockX. Coinciding with the famed silhouette’s 35th anniversary as well as Dior Men’s collection debut in the United States, the highly-limited sneaker channels the timelessness of both the shoe as well as the iconic style of Maison Dior. This is the first time that Jordan has collaborated with a legacy fashion label and therefore the release was limited to only 8,500 pairs, each pair individually numbered. Designer Kim Jones’ take on the iconic sneaker makes use of a white and grey upper constructed from Italian leather with hand-painted edges. Dual branding hits take form as a Dior woven tongue tag, a Nike Swoosh in Dior Oblique jacquard and icy outsoles revealing a Dior and Dior Wings logo on each shoe.

Disney+ Membership

Everyone grew up with some sort of memory from The Walt Disney Company, whether it was the monochromatic Steamboat Willie cartoon, the classic Disney Princess movies, the live-action TV shows of the early 2000s or even its affiliations with Marvel or Lucasfilm. With all these visual treats packed in one streaming service, a subscription to Disney+ can bring family and friends back to happy times or even create new memories as you introduce the new generation to Walt Disney’s revered creations.

However, a few of the items from the collection are still available at select Le Creuset boutiques around the world.

Diptyque Set of Five Scented Candles
By: Keith Estiler
Not only does it smell great, but a lit candle always makes a home feel inviting and warm. Candles can also make for unique, and dare we say sophisticated, presents. There are countless great options to choose from, but I’ve been a frequent gifter of Diptyque’s miniature candle set. The perfumery provides a total of five scented candles, including its best-selling fragrances Baies and Figuier alongside Muguet, Ambre and Verveine. My personal favorite is the classic Baies that emits a scent comparable to a bouquet of roses speckled with blackcurrant leaves. The candles arrive inside a beautiful white presentation box and burn approximately 15 hours each. If you’re not convinced on Diptyque, be sure to check out our seasonal picks for other top options.

Muji Diffuser
By: Jason Dike
Muji is filled with gift-worthy items, but the pick of the bunch is this diffuser. A few steps above giving a candle, a diffuser shows you care about the receiver’s most important time of the day, their downtime. You’ll need to buy some essential oils to go along with it or else it’s just an expensive humidifier with a lamp, but Muji has a selection you can buy. If you really like the person, you can even buy a collection of oils you think the person will enjoy.
