↦ My Favorite Gift Guide So Far
Wednesday, November 23rd Edition
You can’t go wrong with coffee, right? I know some don’t like it, but I’ve never understood those people. As a coffee lover, this was a fun gift guide to put together. Feel free to get me (or any of the bean broth enthusiasts in your life) anything on this list.

What to Give Coffee Lovers
There are so many methods for brewing your favorite cup of mud these days. Pour-over, French press, AeroPress, espresso, K-cups and flash-frozen instant are just a few. We all love coffee, it seems, so gifting some form of java-related products is never a bad idea. And what better time of year than the holidays to give someone caffeine? Coffee is the gift that keeps on giving—from how the beans smell to the notes you get from grinding them, and then the taste—such a wonderful experience that should be shared during the holiday season. From mugs, espresso masks and canisters, we have you covered from gifting to a coffee connoisseur (or a beginning barista.)

Drops to Watch For
18 East just collaborated with Paterson on an edited capsule collection for fall tennis in the city. Not just to play in, but also getting to and from the court in style. The campaign features New York legend and avid tennis player, DJ Stretch Armstrong, wearing the water-repellent, nylon warm-up suit with color-blocking inspired by vintage posters from the French Open. The line also includes a variety of accessories that should come in handy whether you’re a tennis player or not. But these will go quick, so don’t hesitate.
