Holiday Gift Guide 2009 Part I

The holidays are upon us and we decided it was worthy of our first joint posts, the MD holiday gift guide 2009 parts I & II. A selection of what we think would make fantastic gifts for that special guy in your life (or you know, us!). First up, Drew’s list:

1. Original rag socks $35 from Sundance. Classic, simple and totally holiday. I love my rag socks, they’re perfect in boots or just for lounging around the house.

2. The Amsterdam Moof Bicycle $795 from Sundance. You might remember that I’ve posted about this bike before. It is simply design at its best, and sure to be a classic.

3. The Stanley Flask $24 from Restoration Hardware. Just what you need to help carry that beverage of choice to keep you warm on those cold Christmas and New Years nights.

4. The Cabin Hat $39.50 from Martin & Osa. This rag marl topper makes me think of Norman Rockwell New England winters. It’s workwear without all the flannel and plaid.

5. PF Flyers Bob Cousy All American sneakers $60 from Piperlime. PF Flyer need no explanation. Get them.

6. Wool Hooded Plaid Zip-up Jacket $108 from Gap. A great alternative to dropping some serious bills on a Woolrich Woolen Mills coat. Enjoy American heritage workwear this winter.

7. Jack Spade Felt & Leather D.R. Tote $295 from Jack Spade. By now you know that I have a Jack Spade obsession, and an ever growing collection of Jack bags. This is the perfect gift for those bag obsessed boys (or me!).

8. Sun-washed Flannel Shirt, $69.50 at J.Crew. Ah, the “Crew”…we love J.Crew. This will certainly keep that guy cozy and stylish.

9. Want Organic for J.Crew Da Vinci 72-hour Travel Bag $695.00 at J.Crew. Speaking of bag obsessions, have you ever seen anything more perfect? I thought not. Have I also mentioned my J.Crew bag collection? I know, I have a problem…

10. Baracuta Jacket $275 at J.Crew. Continuing with J.Crew, a favorite from last winter this standby is a must have for those of us on the left coast enjoying warm winters.

11. Selvege Authentic Fit Jeans (dark rinse) $88 at Gap. Absolutely the best jeans I own. A must.

12. Harris Tweed Laptop Case $98.50 from ACL & Co. Michael Williams, the man behind the fantastic blog, A Continous Lean, is now offering some amazing items in partnership with designers like Billykirk, Cole, Rood & Haan, Co. and Mark McNairy.
