[GIFTED] New York City Airports Print

If you travel a lot, you have a weird allegiance to your home airport, even though you've spent an inordinate amount of time waiting for delayed flights there.  Your affinity towards your home airport is like your affinity towards that shitty burger place in your hometown.  It's not that great, you've had a few bad experiences there, but it's familiar, you know exactly what you'll get, and you know where the bathroom is. 

This New York City Airports Print ($30, Pilot & Captain) shows off your hometown airport pride.

[GIFTED] Chillsner

Summertime is approaching, and everyone's favorite activity abounds: that's right—drinking on patios.  Because this is a such a beloved activity, companies are falling all over themselves to create products that make the experience even better.  The newest product is the Chillsner ($30 for a set of 2, Uncommon Goods), which is essentially a freezable tube that you insert into your beer that will chill it from the inside.  The Chillsner's design allows you to drink from the bottle while it's cooling the bottle down.  That's all well and good, but some minimal planning would negate this situation.  How hard is it to pick up some cold beer?

Here are the scenarios in which you would need a Chillsner:

1. You're not a borderline alcoholic and you don't have beer constantly chilling in your fridge.

2. You live in an alternate universe where no stores sell already chilled beer.

3. You are a slow, slow, s-l-o-w drinker and by the time you get through a measly 12 oz bottle, it's already lukewarm. 

Cheers, I guess.

[GIFTED] Saddle Ring

There are two kinds of girls who love horses: the rich kind who hire people to do the dirty work of taking care of the horses, and the not rich kind who do the dirty work of taking care of the horses for rich people.

The rich kind would come to school, raving about the medal she won in her latest jumping competition.  The non-rich kind would come to school smelling like manure because they were in the stables at 6AM.  

Either of them would love this Saddle Ring ($46, Robynn Molino), though it would probably look better on the Patrician hands of the rich girl, you know?

[GIFTED] Book Stack Plant Potter

Your mother could care less about gardening when you were growing up, leaving all of the yard work to your father.  But when she retired, she had to find something to do, and the preferred activities of sleeping, eating, and drinking got too routine, she thought that she might give it a try.  It's what old people do, after all.

This Book Stack Plant Potter (Starting at $45, Uncommon Goods) will be the perfect Mother's Day gift that honors the two most boring hobbies on Earth—reading and gardening.  Every time you pass by this planter, you can laugh and say, "A garden is a friend you can visit anytime... SINCE YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA" and your mom will yell at you and it will be the best/worst Mother's Day ever.

[GIFTED] Kentucky State-Shaped Cutting Board

Let me ask you a simple question: What is more appropriate for you to cut up fresh mint leaves for your mint juleps on Kentucky Derby day?  A regular old cutting board, or a cutting board SHAPED LIKE THE FUCKING STATE OF KENTUCKY?

The answer is obvious, isn't it.  Pick up this Kentucky State-Shaped Cutting Board ($48, A. Heirloom) and all will be right in the world.  Also: A. Heirloom makes cutting boards for all 50 states, so even if your love for Kentucky is as fleeting as your love for mint juleps, you'll find one you DO like.
