Need gift ideas? Here’s a thread of a few indie companies that I love to support. Not sure if they’re having sales today, but check them out before you buy from the big box jerks.
@craighillco makes beautifully designed minimalist housewares / everyday carry goods. Book safes, keychains, puzzles, pens etc. https://craighill.co
I love candles and rarely will I buy any that aren’t made by Alan at http://squaretradegoodsco.com . His scents are the best I’ve ever smelled. Trust me I’m a Taurus.
@WritePads make my all time favorite notebooks. I use the Meeting Notebook daily for literally everything I need to write. https://www.writepads.com/collections/notebooks/products/meeting-notebook-black
@disposable_usa is one of my favorite record labels, and I’m always finding rare gems at @truebelievershq (so many vintage Stephen king hardcovers). Dustin just gives a fuck, so I do too. http://www.disposable-america.com
Brothers Artisan Oil is family-owned by good people. My go-to for soap (The purifying wash). Been using it consistently for years. They’re offering 20% off today with code BF20 https://www.brothersartisanoil.com
@shopkanibal is a Jersey City institution. Kristen Scalia is one of the most generous, thoughtful, and smart business owners I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Imo she’s done more for local business than our mayor. Shipping available at http://shopkanibal.com
I buy books almost exclusively at @wordbookstores, locations in Brooklyn and #jerseycity, but they ship! https://www.wordbookstores.com
Want to support your favorite local bookstore? You can @Bookshop_Org. They have a map that allows you to pick a which store to order from. https://bookshop.org
My favorite jeans come from @shockoe_atelier. I’m on my second pair of Standard Black Selvedge, and I’m due for a third. That’ll be four years of wearing the same goddamn thing, which speaks volumes coming from a picky pant guy. https://shockoeatelier.com/
Everything @knickmfgco makes is QUALITY. Their accessories make great gifts, check the knit caps. https://knickerbocker.nyc
@rfcrecords is always doing great things for their community. If I need a record, I check http://runforcoverrecords.com first. Their vinyl shop so well-curated, I usually end up buying random extra stuff (like a Hey Mercedes tee that I used to own when I was 17)
Okay so I don’t own a jacket from @FreemanSeattle yet but if you’re buying gifts, consider the Freeman Raincoat. Look at that fuckin’ thing, it’s beautiful. https://www.freemanseattle.com/collections/the-freeman
