The long, semi-national nightmare is over. Fox News replaced their “All-American Christmas Tree” less than 48 hours after an act of arson, which appeared to be a random act by a suspect who’s been acting out elsewhere in Manhattan. While a crime did occur, the disproportional, two-day on-air complete meltdown by Fox News hosts was really something. The Fox and Friends declared that this was “a hate crime on Fox News. Tucker Carlson echoed the same sentiment. “Torching Christmas trees is an attack on Christianity,” he argued. “Obviously. It’s an assault on religious observance” and “a hate crime.”
Kimmel pointed out how silly this meltdown looked from afar. While branding Tucker as the “Little Dummer Boy” and “Little Snowflake,” he declared, “They are really making a mountain out of an act of vandalism outside their studio.” He added, “And whether it is or not, Fox desperately wants to make this a political thing.” Yep, and then came this reality: “You can’t commit a hate crime against a channel.”
From there, it’s useful to point out that Tucker and friends were completely losing their minds over a fake Christmas tree, which led Kimmel to wonder if there’s nothing else that Fox News wants to discuss. “Little Snowflake, unlike the Quran, Christians don’t base our faith on pine trees,” Kimmel summed up. “It’s the reason we don’t hang popcorn and Cookie Monster ornaments on the Bible.”
Yup, this whole thing’s a fiasco, and a greater degree of the chaos has gone down on-air than on the crime scene. It’s no wonder that CNN’s Brianna Keilar came for Fox News over how they’re far more upset about this evidence of the “War On Christmas” than the violent MAGA insurrection on January 6. (Priorities.)
Less than two years after he released his fourth project See You When I Am Famous!!!!!!!!!!!!, Kyle is gearing up to share his latest body of work with the world. Last weekend he announced It’s Not So Bad will arrive on January 28, but the upcoming project won’t be your typical musical release. “Instead of splitting the royalties with the label, I’ll be selling this project as an NFT to give an opportunity for my fans to own this project with me,” Kyle revealed in his announcement. “We’re in this together. Forever & Ever.” Now, we’ve received the latest single from the upcoming project.
Kyle returns with “Perfect,” and just like much of his discography, the new track is a light-hearted upbeat release that finds him celebrating the arrival of an ideal companion in his life. The new song joins recent releases like “Love Me Like You Say You Love Me,” “Optimistic” with Dougie F, and “Sunday.”
“Perfect” also arrives after Kyle announced his I Miss U Tour for 2022. Kyle will be accompanied by singers Col3trane and Leven Kali across the string of shows that begin on February 10 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and continue into March before he wraps things up in Ventura, California, where he grew up.
You can listen to “Perfect” in the video above and scroll up to check out the full dates for the 2022 I Miss U Tour.
This year’s finally drawing to a close with you-know-what showing no signs of abating as of yet. For that reason, it’s still never been a better time than to stack up your queues with fresh content, and Netflix more than has you covered, no matter what you’re looking for. While Cobra Kai and The Witcher prepare to arrive, there’s some placeholders on tap this week. That includes Sandra Bullock’s post-Bird Box streaming followup, and it’s fantastic to see her around this joint again after being one of the first A-listers to star in an original Netflix movie.
In addition, there’s more scandalous content to mine from those wild and wacky big cat people. David Fincher pops in with his love letter to cinema, and a new stand-up comedy special is also coming your way. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s an adult comedy series, an animated film for the kids, and a couple of holiday-themed offerings also doing their best to get you prepared for the weeks to come. Soon enough, we’ll all be pushing 2021 out the back door and asking 2022 to bring much better news, but before that happens, hop onto your couch and binge hard, people.
Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) the streaming platform this week.
The Unforgivable (Netflix film streaming 12/10)
Sandra Bullock returns to her Bird Boxstomping grounds to play an ex-felon who can’t catch a break. She portrays Ruth, who attempts to reintegrate into society and finds that no one wants to (as the film’s title suggests) forgive her. True redemption might only be possible if Ruth finds and repairs her relationship with an estranged younger sibling. It’s heavy stuff, sure, but Bullock has proven time and time again that she can go both dark and light and always captivate in the process.
Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story (Netflix series streaming 12/10)
God help us all, this crew simply won’t quit, even with Joe Exotic languishing behind bars without the ability to be his fully fabulous self. Somehow, two seasons of this show weren’t enough for people, so it’s time for the franchise (gulp) to dig into Doc Antle’s abuses of power while his animal-loving persona begins to crack in a significant way. Is Doc a bigger predator than any of the big cats could ever manage to be? He’s at the top of the food chain, but perhaps that won’t last long.
This documentary series serves as David Fincher’s love letter to cinema. Expect a swath of “visual essays” from Fincher in collaboration with his fellow cinephiles, who will dive deep into iconic movies to discover the true “purpose of filmmaking.” You’ll see some Jaws and Citizen Kane but also The Karate Kid, Mad Max: Fury Road, Kill Bill, Goodfellas, Lawrence of Arabia, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and more. It’s a master class in not only the art of filmmaking but the art of watching movies.
Nicole Byer: BBW (Netflix stand-up special streaming 12/7)
Live comedy shows are finally making a comeback, and Byer’s first Netflix special sees her being both sexy and honest, live from NYC, where she riffs on being an almost-vegan and what’s going on with dudes. Oh, and the pandemic will receive an obligatory shoutout because (as we keep seeing) it cannot be ignored.
Saturday Morning All Star Hits!: Season 1 (Netflix series streaming 12/10)
There’s way too much energy going on in this animated/live-action hybrid for adults only. Take a trip back in time to what you used to watch on Saturday mornings back in the 1980s and 1990s, and don’t expect some cuddly nostalgia here but something a little more disturbing.
Back to the Outback (Netflix film streaming 12/10)
This one’s for the kids who will enjoy watching Australia’s most dangerous zoo captives launch an escape to the Outback, where they look forward to being themselves without being feared for fangs and scales and such while hopefully proving that they, too, are beautiful in their own ways. Isla Fisher and Eric Bana lead the voice cast here.
How to Ruin Christmas: Season 2 (Netflix series streaming 12/10)
A death sets up even more time for Christmastime ruination when Tumi Sello must save the funeral from becoming an utter fiasco. So much for a nice relaxing holiday season, right? Especially when the world could really use a collective nap after all that we’ve been through during the past two years.

If you’ve been hoping for new music from 2 Chainz, we’ve got some good news for you: the Atlanta rapper is back in action tonight and his newest release finds him paired alongside DJ Premier. Together, the duo delivers “Mortgage Free” and it’s a track that 2 Chainz uses to highlight to show off his tunnel vision and motivation to make sure that he continuously lives, well, mortgage-free. DJ Premier also provides strong production to the track to make it all that much enjoyable.
The new track arrives after 2 Chainz celebrated the tenth anniversary of his beloved T.R.U. REALigion mixtape. He held a concert in his hometown of Atlanta to perform tracks from the project which features Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Meek Mill, Jadakiss, and more. The performance came after 2 Chainz revealed the title of his next album. The upcoming release will be titled Dope Don’t Sell Itself, as 2 Chainz revealed back in August. There’s no release date for the project at the moment, but it could be the rapper’s “last trap album” thanks to a tweet he put out this past summer.
Dope Don’t Sell Itself will be the follow-up to his 2020 album So Help Me God. The album arrived with 15 tracks and guest appearances from Ty Dolla Sign, Ye, Brent Faiyaz, Latto, Lil Uzi Vert, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and more.
You can listen to 2 Chainz and DJ Premier’s collaboration in the video above.

For the better part of a year, Roddy Ricch has left his fans wondering when the Compton rapper would deliver his sophomore album. His debut Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial was met with rave reviews while also spending multiple weeks at No. 1. The project, which boasted features from Gunna, Lil Durk, Meek Mill, Ty Dolla Sign, and more, took home multiple awards like Hip-Hop Album Of The Year at the 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards and Album Of The Year at 2020 BET Awards. That’s all in the past now as Roddy gears up to drop album No. 2, Live Life Fast, next week. Ahead of its release, he returns with the album’s intro track.
The track, which features vocals from Ty Dolla Sign, arrives with a video that sees Roddy telling an eerie story of how he was once told that the goal in life “was to have fast money, fast b*tches, and fast cars.” Roddy then dives into the harsh consequences of this lifestyle and what he’s learned from them. As he speaks, Roddy is then accompanied by a woman who joins him in a leather large and seemingly expensive mansion.
Roddy shared the trailer after taking Gunna and Future’s “Too Easy” for a new remix.
You can watch the video for the intro to Live Life Fast above.
Live Life Fast is out 12/17 via Atlantic Records. Pre-order it here.

The rumors around Earl Sweatshirt’s follow up album to 2018’s Some Rap Songs and the 2019 effort Feet Of Clay have been swirling all year long. First, Alchemist said he and Earl had hidden an album on YouTube under a fake name. Next, Vince Staples made the biblical assertion that he, Earl, and Alchemist had laid down “30 verses on 30 beats” for a project with Earl and Alchemist. Then in September, Alchemist went on The Needle Drop and said that Earl’s album was “done and it’s incredible,” and is 21 minutes long. The Black Noise-produced “2010” dropped last month, and now, we finally have confirmation of the next Earl release.
The just-announced Sick is a 10-track project that’s set to drop on January 14th, 2022. The announcement also came with the release of the newest single, “Tabula Rasa,” featuring Armand Hammer. The video is a one-shot take that brings us through a home studio with first Armand Hammer’s Elucid dropping his verse, before Billy Woods lays his down and Earl brings it home with an ill stream of consciousness flow.
Earl released a statement on Sick and it speaks directly to what he address on “Tabula Rasa”:
“SICK is my humble offering of 10 songs recorded in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns. Before the virus I had been working on an album I named after a book I used to read with my mother (‘The People Could Fly’). Once the lockdowns hit, people couldn’t fly anymore. A wise man said art imitates life. People were sick. The People were angry and isolated and restless. I leaned into the chaos cause it was apparent that it wasn’t going anywhere. these songs are what happened when I would come up for air. Peace and love to Zelooperz the enigma, The Armand Hammer, and my good friends Alchemist and Black Noi$e. Peace and love to u.”
If the tracks on Sick are laid out like four-plus minute “Tabula Rasa,” then there’s no chance that this is the 21-minute album that Alchemist referred to. That couple with reading between the lines of Earl’s statement, makes it possible that Sick is just a step towards a separate full-blown album. Time will tell. For now, peep the video for “Tabula Rasa” above.
Check out the album art below.

Brian Williams’ last episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour ended his three decades at NBC. With the veteran anchor’s sign off, he asked viewers to protect Democracy (he didn’t seem to feel good about where it’s going). He also once again visited with Democratic consultant and strategist James Carville, who’s not afraid to tell his party when they’re royally screwing the pooch, including the recent fiasco of Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
In this round, Carville took aim at Democrats essentially sitting on their hands while far-right figures, including Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and rootin’ tootin’ Lauren Boebert, use increasingly divisive rhetoric with seemingly no consequences. Carville has had it up to here with the GOP’s extreme figures being allowed to run wild:
“I have the equivalent of a PhD in white trash-ology, and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, they could be the subject of a dissertation. And we’ve got to call these people out and hold them accountable.”
“Brian I have the equivalent of a PHD in white-trashology, and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert could be the subject of dissertation.”
Carville and Williams had been discussing a new Democratic party ad that targets those far-right extremists, which also include Matt Gaetz, who (via Raw Story) Carville believes “will probably be in the penitentiary by the time the next election comes around.” And Carville is all for the Left “hitting hard” and “telling the truth” without fear because “We’ve got to stop this namby-pamby, censure somebody, take committees away, and just call these people out for who they are.” Otherwise, the mid-term elections are going to surprise everyone by getting these people elected, he insisted.
Yep, we’re less than a year away from those elections, and if the Dems go into attack mode like their opponents regularly do, there’s gonna be fireworks.
The Matrix Resurrections is hitting theaters on December 22 and there is a lot to be excited about. Feelings on the second and third movies are hit and miss, but everyone generally agrees that the universe those movies established is pretty cool. So when a fourth one was announced for 2021 how could there not be a reason to get excited about it? A chance to go back into a world where video game like feats is possible? Who wouldn’t be excited?
That comparison to video games turned out to be right on point because during The Game Awards on Thursday, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss made a surprise appearance to announce a new game/tech demo from Epic Games called The Matrix Awakens. This tech demo is meant to show players the power of the Epic Games developed engine, Unreal Engine 5. It is currently playable for anyone with a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
The moment itself was pretty cool, and it’s always enjoyable when Keanu Reeves shows up at a video game event, but the real appeal here is what the Unreal Engine 5 is capable of. The game/experience is a tech demo, but the screenshots that are coming out of it feel straight out of a movie. It’s an example of the kind of realism that these games are currently capable of. Via unrealengine.com.

“this tech demo offers a vision for what the future of interactive content could be” pic.twitter.com/DiciKF6W2n
“When I told them I was making another Matrix film, they suggested I come and play in the Epic sandbox,” says Wachowski. “And holy sh*t, what a sandbox it is!
“I imagine the first company to build an actual Matrix—a fully immersive, persistent world—will be a game company and Epic is certainly paving the way there. It’s mind-boggling how far games have come in twenty years.
“Keanu, Carrie, and I had a blast making this demo. The Epic sandbox is pretty special because they love experimenting and dreaming big. Whatever the future of cinematic storytelling, Epic will play no small part in its evolution.”
The Matrix has an interesting history when it comes to video games. Back in the early 2000’s when the franchise was at peak popularity, a game by the name of Enter the Matrix was released. The game itself is mediocre at best, but what was interesting about it is that Enter the Matrix contained never before seen scenes exclusive to the game. All of these scenes were considered canon and part of The Matrix universe so anyone that wanted to know everything about the franchise would have to go play the game to find out what was in it. While we haven’t seen anything that tells us exclusive movie content for the upcoming movie is in this tech demo, it’s cool to see that The Matrix is still embracing video games all these years later.
The NFL fraternity lost a member far too young on Thursday, as word emerged from Denver reporters that former Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas had died at just 33 years old.
I just emailed Demaryius Thomas position coach while he was at West Laurens High School – Jeff Clayton.
He tells me that the rumors are true. The former Georgia Tech and Broncos receiver has passed away at the age of 33. pic.twitter.com/WnmVfm1ln2
Thomas, who starred at Georgia Tech in his college days before spending much of his 10-year NFL career in Denver as the Broncos leading receiver, died of unknown causes at this point, but as word spread around the league, many were in shock and disbelief at the loss of someone so young. Thomas spent 8-plus seasons in Denver, before brief stops in Houston, New York, and New England before calling it a career after the 2019 season. He compiled 9,763 receiving yards and 63 touchdowns in his career, winning a Super Bowl with the Broncos and authoring one of the most memorable plays in recent franchise history.
Demaryius Thomas made the new Mile High roar louder than anyone ever did.
He took hit after hit and played through pain. He never quit. Even when he was struggling, he found ways to help his team.pic.twitter.com/FjplwQdk0n
Many Broncos fans posted remembrances of Thomas, and particularly that play which lives forever in Denver sports lore. But for former teammates, friends, and those who covered Thomas, many remembered Thomas, the man, who was beloved in locker rooms and communities. As word spread around the NFL world, many took to social media to remember Thomas, offering their love and condolences to his family, and mourn the loss of a teammate and friend gone far too soon.
I learned so much from this man…one of the most powerful & graceful & smooth athletes I’ve ever been around…and then he was funny & smart & awesome to be around too…I am in tears…I love ya, DT! pic.twitter.com/KXrlucJAQ4
Only spent a few weeks together while with the Patriots, but it was a impactful. Another teammate gone too soon. This is sad. Every single one https://t.co/jrgEPa789B
Just absolutely sick. Shaking. Nauseous. Can’t be real. Love you 88. Absolutely one of the kindest, genuine, humble, generous Superstars I have ever had the luxury of calling friend. Hug someone you love
Adventurous people want adventurous stuff — there are no two ways about it. Plus, living a bold, big, brave life can get expensive. Sometimes exorbitantly so. Meaning that gifts that help ignite and foster outdoor and adventure-driven passions are always welcome.
But what will light the stoke of the adventurer in your life? That depends. Are they the sort to e-bike bike cross country or would they appreciate a tracker for off-the-grid expeditions? New boots for scrambling along trails or cozy sweats for when the hike ends?
We’ve shared some of our favorite ideas for gifts for travelers and adventurers — across all price points — below. But ultimately, it comes down to knowing the person you’re buying for and tapping into the type of thrill that makes them feel most alive. But a word to the wise: Don’t settle for a gift card. vagabonds, outdoorsy types, and bold explorers like tangible things that they can actually touch.
It’s the strongest and most versatile version of the RadWagon yet, featuring smaller, innovative new tires developed by our in-house team of expert engineers to achieve a lower center of gravity. Its patent-pending new frame design ensures multiple points of adjustability, including a telescopic seat post and easily maneuverable handlebars.
Why It’s a Great Gift:
This is my favorite new (to me) product of the year. I literally ride mine every day. To the beach, to work, to the farmer’s market — I’m on this thing a lot.
Made with a 750-watt geared hub motor, this RadWagon electric bike is perfect for adventurers who like to get places on two wheels — with and without motor-driven help. It takes some (or all, depending on how you want to use the throttle) of the legwork out of transportation. It’s also just a downright blast to ride.
I think my favorite aspect of the RadWagon is how adaptable it is. It’s an e-bike that can be heavily modified. Is your giftee planning a trip across the country? Extra batteries, cargo pouches, and baskets make that incredibly feasible (I’m doing my next book tour this way). Are you buying for someone with kids? I have both my kids on mine most days of the week — one in a cushioned seat and the other in a baby seat — both hanging out under a surrey top to protect us from rain.
Bottom Line:
The flexibility of the bike is what makes it such a special gift. It’s ideal for multiple types of adventures and opens the door to all sorts of bold ideas. — Steve Bramucci
Air Eau de Parfum is the world’s first fragrance made from air. Inspired by the earth’s most abundant and vital elements of air, water, and sun, it’s a genderless and limited-release fragrance.
Why It’s a Great Gift:
Most adventurers are all for embracing nature and the outdoors. This fragrance, which is made with innovative and patented technology, uses the elements of the earth to create an elevated, high-end gift for someone special. The fresh, citrusy scent is exactly what an adventurer needs to freshen up after a long day of exploring.
Bottom Line:
Even if all the “air” talk is marketing-speak, I really like how this smells. — Steve Bramucci
Born out of necessity in 1937, Ray-Ban has been at the leading edge of developing high-quality sunglasses to protect pilots from the sun’s harsh rays. Since then, Ray-Ban has been the eyewear of choice for visionaries and cultural creators everywhere to express their fearless and most authentic selves.
Why It’s a Great Gift:
Fearless, authentic, and badass are a few of the key qualities that describe most adventurers. They need an equally cool style to match their carefree vibe. These classic Ray-Bans are a foolproof gift choice for pretty much everyone you know, especially those who spend most of their free time outside in the sun.
As for why I get them from Sunglass Hut — if you get them online you can’t get them fitted to you face. I like that perk a lot and often go in to get mine re-fitted or have the nose pieces replaced for free.
Bottom Line:
These are classic. They’ll make your giftee feel like their most-adventurous self. — Steve Bramucci
Invoxia aims at making the world a safer place by helping people easily protect their valuables against theft and loss. To do so, we provide a solution that can avoid the anxiety you may experience in the event of theft, on the entire American territory.

This is also a great safety tool for finding their way back after a long hike or sightseeing. Leaving the Invoxia GPS Tracker in the car makes it easy to find their way back, taking the risk of getting lost out of the equation.
Bottom Line: “This is incredibly handy!” if that sounds like the sort of response to a gift that you want, well… here you go! — Chloe Caldwell
The Adventure Challenge Solo Edition is designed for nights to yourself. To make the ordinary become amazing. Turn any regular weeknight (or heck, entire weekend) into an extraordinary memory.
Why It’s a Great Gift:

It will keep their adventures going whether they’re on the road or in between trips at home. The booklet is filled with scratch-off tasks designed to encourage adventure in any situation or setting, while the camera helps bookmark every memory made throughout the process. The Adventure Challenge also offers a “Couples” or “Family” set, so you can join in on all of the fun and make memories together.
Bottom Line: I’m going to say it loud for the people in the back: PHOTO RELATED GIFTS ARE ALWAYS HITS! — Chloe Caldwell

Why It’s a Great Gift: Adventurers are the type of people who like to think they’re invincible. But let’s face it, the constant rock climbing, cliff jumping, and casually flying out the back of airplanes can take a toll on someone’s body. This CBD sports cream will help them naturally soothe their sore muscles after every physically taxing activity. It’s the ultimate post-adventure recovery formula.
The Company Line: This kit contains the safety supplies you need for short-term excursions, cleverly stashed in a military-grade aluminum LED flashlight. The impeccably crafted items — including a compass, a wire saw, reflective trail markers, and, yes, waterproof matches — are packed in small canisters that fit perfectly into the flashlight tube.
Why It’s a Great Gift: This survival kit literally packs everything an adventure needs into one compact space, which also happens to double as a flashlight. I mean, come on!

The Company Line: Ready for adventure, this wipe-clean, nylon-backed blanket has a functional roll-up design and convenient carrying handle. Plaids are woven in our American mills.
Why It’s a Great Gift: True adventurers would choose to stay in a tent with a cozy blanket over a swanky hotel room any day (well, most days).

Whether it’s a day trip to the beach or an overnight camping getaway, this blanket is something your favorite travel-obsessed friend will use and love.
The Company Line: Busy lives can leave skin stressed, tired and thirsty. Used as a nightly mask, daytime moisturizer, or in-flight skin saver, our enhanced, fragrance-free formula helps nourish, hydrate and calm with niacinamide, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants—leaving skin looking renewed, radiant, and ready for anything.
Why It’s a Great Gift: Saltwater, wind chill, sunburns — just a few of the things that can wreak serious havoc on someone’s skin. Therefore, this travel-specific mask is the perfect post-adventure cure for burnt, dry, and irritated skin. So even if they leave their adventures feeling exhausted, tired, and dehydrated (which they probably will), their skin certainly won’t look like it!
The Company Line: Enjoy a fresh cup of espresso wherever you roam with this portable, handheld machine. Nanopresso’s patented pumping system reaches up to 18 bars of pressure during extraction to produce a truly exceptional shot. Lightweight and portable, it comes with a built-in cup and is easy to hold and pack, making it an ideal travel companion.
Why It’s a Great Gift: I mean, does this need an explanation? A portable espresso machine will make those early wake-up calls so much easier. It provides the perfect morning pick-me-up an adventurer needs before heading out on a day chock-full of action-packed fun. Plus, it’s conveniently compact and easy to pack in a backpack. Basically, the Nanopresso is a must for all road trips and camping trips.
The Company Line: The full interior is lined with insulation to keep your favorite beverages and snacks cool for hours. The lightweight canvas and padded shoulder straps let you load this one to its full capacity without breaking your back and the front zip pocket and two side pockets keep small items organized and ensure you never forget your bottle opener.
Why It’s a Great Gift: What’s better than rewarding oneself for completing a long hike with a few brewskies and a snack? The answer is not much. This insulated cooler backpack keeps drinks and food cool even on the hottest of days. Plus, the comfortable backpack design makes carrying the essentials easy, no matter where their planned (and unplanned) adventures might take them.
The Company Line: The mild foaming action is derived from sources like corn, coconut, and sugar beets and emulsified to a creamy consistency. Includes Chamomile, Aloe, Cucumber, and Japanese Green Tea extracts, each used to soothe, tighten and act as an anti-oxidant on the skin. These botanicals can assist in epidermal problems and inflammation, each with extensive historical data.
Why It’s a Great Gift: Again, travel can do some serious damage to the skin. After a long day of exploring outside, nothing feels better than washing the dirt, sweat, and grime away. For avid adventurers, it’s always nice to have cleansing essentials on hand. This gentle formula works well for all skin types, which is especially useful for those with more sensitive, burnt, or irritated skin.
The Company Line: Carry America’s pastime with you in style. Handcrafted with our proprietary ball glove leather, the modern simplicity of the Nokona Tote highlights the richness of Nokona’s leather. Features two interior pockets to hold your phone and other trinkets, and includes authentic ball glove lacing cross-stitching detail at the handles.
Why It’s a Great Gift: First of all, you can personalize this tote with a monogram or name on the inside pocket, making it a more thoughtful and personal gift for the adventurer you love most. Thrill-seekers need gear and luggage that can keep up with their wildest adventures. Every Nokona tote is individually cut, stitched, and assembled, so you know that the high-quality craftsmanship and sturdy result are well worth the hefty price.
The Company Line: Our ultra cooling and soft eucalyptus sheets feel like silk, but better.

“Made for rough terrain, our Garrison Trail waterproof hiking boots are made with ReBOTL recycled material.”
Why It’s a Great Gift:
I picked up a pair of these mid hiking boots last summer when I need something that’d suit the rainforests of the Olympics, try pine forests of the Black Hills, and rocky Badlands all in one trip. These really nailed multi-terrain hiking better than any casual boot I’ve ever worn. They also actually fit me (I’m a size 13 ee and that sizes me out of a lot of shoes and boots). I put these on and they hugged my feet like an old friend and barely needed any breaking in. That was extraordinary for a hiking boot. Plus, these are mid enough and subtle enough that you can wear them in a city like Seattle and no one will bat an eye. All of this is to say, if you know someone who needs a versatile but casual hiking boot that fits like walking on a soft pillow, this is the gift for them.
