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 #5: Religion Sweaters for Her

2011-12-20T22:05:00.005-05:00

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

2011-12-19T13:55:00.005-05:00

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

2011-12-19T12:29:00.004-05:00

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

2011-12-17T19:06:00.005-05:00

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

2011-12-16T15:13:00.003-05:00

"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!]

"The End Has No End" Picture Frame ($155)

Baby, Don't Go ($155) with guitar pick and boyfriend ring

"Many Happy Endings" Balloon Pendant ($185)

Paris Pendant with large Eiffel Tower and silver tag inscribed "Your French won't save you now" ($140)
