Tis’ the season to be busy. No judgment here; we know you wait until the last minute to buy all of your gifts, so we made you this list. Below are ten badass, last-minute gifts that will guarantee to get a smile:

Crosley Record Player

These stylish retro-inspired but fully USB-capable vinyl record players win in both form and function. A Crosley will add a style punch to any setting and will surely be a knockout gift for the music lover on your list. While you’re at it, pick up a vinyl or two.

Rewined Candles

Discarded wine bottles get new life with Rewined. After being cut and prepped, recycled wine bottles get a second life as candles. Staying true to the bottle’s first purpose, candle scents are blended to mimic your chosen wine – we recommend pinot noir, pinot grigio, and Riesling.

Frye Messenger Bag

Ranging from boots to bags, Frye has never done us wrong. Their quality is something to write home about and is beautiful. Anyone on your list would rejoice over being gifted one of their leather goods. If a functional gift is what you’re searching for, Frye’s Logan Buckle Messenger is not only the very definition of such but also a work of wearable art. Sunny, our co-founder and creative director, carries the Logan Flap Brief Case, which can be seen here. Leather has never looked so good.
