Holiday Gift Idea #2: Almanac Industries Notebooks

Almanac Industries is an artist-run bookbinding and letter press studio in Baltimore, MD. Their handmade leather-bound notebooks come in a variety of sizes, colors, and patterns, and each come in their own little canvas bag to keep the edges pristine. A great gift for the writer, doodler, or list-maker- the notebooks range from $20 for the small to $46 for the large. Courtesy of MUTINY.

Holiday Gift Idea #3: Maslo Necklaces

New Spring 2012 selections from Richmond's Maslo Jewelry just arrived at the shop in expert time for the holidays! Designer Nicole Maslowski does a great job melding vintage inspiration with more industrial style for looks that are current, yet timeless. Necklaces range from $58 to $140.

Holiday Gift Idea #4: Portland General Store products for Him

Courtesy of Mutiny, we now have men's apothecary on-hand to keep the guys well-groomed and smelling nice. Portland General Store uses only simple, natural ingredients and creates its line with time-tested methods- no fragrance oils or chemical additives here.

Available are: Tobacco Beard Oil, Alpine Shave Jelly, Professor Aftershave Balm, Victory Moisturizer, Face Bomb, Tobacco Smelling Salts, and the PGS Cigar Box Sampler.

Holiday Gift Idea #5: Religion Sweaters for Her

Nothing's nicer on a chilly holiday eve than a cozy, oversized sweater that keeps you warm yet still manages to make you feel a little like a bad @$$. Religion fits the bill this season with their zip-up "Lord Cardigan" in taupe paired with a matching head band (sold separately and also in stock), or their "Silence Jumper" in black with large attached cowl scarf for mutiple styling options.

Holiday Gift Idea #6: Spragwerks accessories

If you've been watching Project Accessory, you're already familiar with Rich Sandomeno, creator and designer of Spragwerks. A former mechanic, Rich draws inspiration from the obscure, the organic, decaying urban surroundings and his love for machines. We're excited to have Spragwerks as the latest addition to the Redeem line-up. With his great metalwork and jewelry, to his newest offering of small bags made from vintage military fabrics and old leathers (pictured above)-- an accessory from Spragwerks is a great candidate for the perfect gift.

Holiday Gift Idea #7: Cyberoptix Ties

Cyberoptix have been providing, in their own words, "Ties That Don't Suck" since 2005. We just received a slew of their new Spring 2012 designs, including the "Old Fashioned" detailing the recipe of the tasty drink, and "Whiskey Business" (both pictured above). Cyberoptix ties are hand-screened in Detroit and come in Narrow and Skinny widths.

Holiday Gift Idea #8: DeNada Scarves

Locally designed by Virginia Arrisueño, DeNada is a super cozy knit accessory line that is hands-down one the easiest (and most successful) gifts to give! Each season, Arrisueno mixes up her offering with new styles, like the Open Wave Cowl and Cowl Medium Duo (above). Prices range from $28 for fingerless gloves to $105 for a knit cape.

Holiday Gift Idea #9: CB I Hate Perfume

"Scent is Life..." Perfume designer Christopher Brosius has been exploring perfume as art since 2004. With his line CB I Hate Perfume, each scent captures a moment in time, a certain experience-- and tells that story.

Our favorite for the season? Winter 1972, (of course). Described as "A field of untouched new fallen snow, hand knit woolen mittens covered with frost, a hint of frozen forest and sleeping earth," Winter 1972 captures the imagination, as all CB scents are inclined to do....

100ML Water Perfume $80
15ML Absolute Perfume $95
[And many other scents available!]
