Most Wanted 2010

Well, it's that time of year again.  They say that the true reward is in giving, but who the hell are we kidding?  It's all about the getting.  So, if you were looking for a little inspiration for your personal wish list, here's a few of the things I can't take my eyes off of.


Belstaff Leather Jacket



I don't think I need to point out why this jacket is on the list.  It's gorgeous.  Come on.  Look at that beautiful caramel color, and that belt, and so on and so on.  However, I could have just as easily chosen just about anything from J. Crew's catalog.  I love you, Patrick Robinson, but you seriously need to take some notes Jenna Lyons.  Homegirl's bringing it.

-J. Crew, $1489


'Inception' Blu Ray Special Edition


Pictured is the UK collector's edition, an American version of which has yet to surface.  But when it does, I'm so in that it's not even funny.  This edition includes the film in 3 version (Blu Ray, standard, and digital copy), a motion comic prologue, a PASIV Device User Manual, collector's briefcase, and that spinning top that we all watched so intently.  Gimme.

-N/A


HP Envy 14 Laptop with Beats by Dr. Dre Technology


Laptops, by nature, sound like shit.  It's the sacrifice you make for portability, but no longer.  First, Dr. Dre revolutionized music.  Then, he revolutionized the way we listen to that music.  Now, he's taken that technology and crammed it into a top of the line laptop.  Not trying to be funny, but this is probably the best thing Dr. Dre has ever done.

-HP.com, $1249.99

'CARE In Every Tea Leaf' Gift Set



If you've never heard of Teavana, it's a tea-lovers, well, Nirvana.  Watching the employees brew a cup is like watching poetry in motion and listening to them talk about it is oddly intriguing.  Sadly, actual locations are few and far between.  Luckily, this immaculate set gives you everything you need to brew a cup like a pro; rock sugar, an infuser, the tea (of course), a timer--hell, they even give you a measuring spoon.  Plus, karma bonus:  every time on of the sets is purchased, Teavana donates an additional $5 to the EquaTrade program that funds education, safe drinking water and economic development in tea growing regions of the world.

-Teavana, $79.95


Mini Donut Maker


Dude.  Homemade mini donuts.  Come on.



Paolo Vandini Leather Spycatcher Boots


Saw these in British GQ and was instantly head over heels.  I love a pair of casual boots.

-Paolo Vandini£129.99


Wally One Indoor+Outdoor Living Wall


Something about this is so inescapably cool.  Plant whatever you want, hang it up, and watch it take over your wall.  It's kinda like watching an episode of "Life After People" happen in real time.  Great choice for your favorite green thumb.

-A+R, $39 for the outside version, $49 for the inside


Terryworld (Taschen 25th Anniversary Edition)


Terryworld is previously mentioned photographer Terry Richardson's extremely-inappropriate-for-the-coffee-table coffee table book.  It's packed with the lewd, the crude, the pornagraphic, and the downright unsettling.  If you don't find anything in this book that scandalizes you, you don't have a pulse.  It'll make you feel dirty, but there's something really great about that.

-Amazon, $13.59


Trench Motorcycle Coat


A trench coat for the coldest of winters.  Functional and timeless.  A winning combo.



J.W. Hulme Co. Classic Oxford Field Briefcase


You can call it a murse if you want to, but that doesn't make it any less dope.



Le Petit Singularite Terrarium Kit


A really simple, but still fun and intriguing piece of decor.  Make your own little green world!



Workcycle Fr8 Bicycle


A sturdy bike with a classic look.  With all the bells and whistles (leather saddle!), this is truly the Cadillac of two-wheelers.



Giant Gummi Bear on a Stick


A five-inch gummi bear on a stick.  Do you really need to be sold  on this?



Mini Bodum French Press, Set of 2


I don't drink a lot of coffee, but when I do, I want quality.  'Nuff said.
