TWELV'S CHRISTMAS WISH LIST #2: Features Director: Stephen Fisher
December 11, 2013 3:43 PM
1. Cire Trudon Nazareth Candle $95.00 - This clean-burning candle is wonderful for the holidays and fills your entire living space with the festive scent of orange, cloves and sweet spices.
2. Bottega Veneta Woven Leather Gloves $390.00 - Napa leather construction, signature intrecaccio detailing, and cashmere lining ensure that your hands stay warm in style.
3. Kilian Incense Oud $395.00 - Warm incense, sandalwood, rose, spice heat, and a heart of dark smoke make up this scent that is perfect deterrent to the winter chill, and is one of my favorite cold weather fragrance choices.
4. Del Toro Men's Black Velvet Slipper with Skull and Bone Embroidery $325.00 - I have worn these all over town with jeans, as well as a suit, and they never fail to attract compliments, plus the red stripe adds a nice unexpected touch.
5. Derek Rose Triton 10 Robe $200.00 - Hands down the best and most comfortable robe I have ever owned. The fabric is a super-thick cotton velour with absorbent looping on the inside and a Savile Row pedigree throughout. A surefire way to stay warm beside the fire.
6. Cartier Tank Francaise Large 18k Gold and Stainless Steel Automatic Watch $7,850.00 - I absolutely love this watch, created by master jewelers Cartier. The strong lines and material choices allow for a versatile and timeless watch that looks as great with a pair of jeans as it does with a tuxedo.
7. Herschel Supply Novel Duffel $79.99 - A great addition to any man’s closet. Durable fabric and construction, an assortment of colors and options, and a separate lined and zippered compartment for shoes make this the ideal weekend adventure or gym bag.
8. Patron Anejo with David Yurman Limited Edition Bottle Stopper $59.99 - What better way to ring in the holidays than with a shot of tequila? And what better way to adorn the bottle than with the artistic vision of TWELV-featured jewelry designer Evan Yurman. Die-cast in solid metal and electroplated in gun metal and 24K gold, the limited edition bottle stopper features a two-toned sword hilt, inspired by the hand guards of 18th century Japanese Samurai swords.
9. Brooks Brothers No-Iron Dress Shirts $92.00 - Brooks Brothers is my go-to destination for dress shirts, and their non-iron dress shirts never fail to look spectacular and crisp, no matter what the day decides to throw your way.
10. Meridian Explorer $299.00 - Plug one end of this gadget into the USB port of your laptop and the other end to a pair of headphones, and watch it bypass the existing soundcard, amplifying, optimizing, and tuning the sound to new levels consistent with the world-class reputation of the Meridian brand.
11. Molton Brown Silver Birch Body Wash $30.00 - Invigorating French silver birch bark, zesty bergamot and masculine cedar wood - a perfect addition to any gym bag.
12. Casa Del Rio “Oma” Alligator Money Clip $180.00 - This brand pairs American spirit and sourcing with a great attention to detail and craftsmanship, as well as some great and unexpected color choices.
