Fashion Army - SPBH Editions

Not an endorsement of any current or past operation of the United States Military, but this book is a great visual exploration of form and function in design.

Bakelite Bangles

A great gifting alternative to precious metal jewelry. You can find these at just about any vintage store in a wide range of styles, colors, price points etc. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of color often, I find these are a really fun and chic way to incorporate some whimsy and excitement into your outfits. Bakelite bangles from the 30s-60s are usually more substantial and thus expensive, but costume bangles from the 80s onward can be just as fun!

ONLINE RADIO GIFT SUBSCRIPTION

In the age of algorithm dictated playlisting, TikTok over-saturation, and the proliferation of AI generated music on streaming platforms, online radio stations like London’s NTS and Los Angeles’ dublab serve as great music discovery alternatives. These platforms both offer memberships that can include extra perks like limited-edition merch, access to exclusive content and releases, and discounts on tickets to live events. Overall, gifting a membership is a great way to support independent broadcasters and share top tier curation with music lover in your life !

Paratroopers for Jesus - 4,936 Band Name Suggestions from the '90s Internet

A compendium of ridiculous band names. A true feat of early Internet archiving. One of my favorite coffee table books in my collection.
