10 Essentials For Staying In This Weekend
As autumn’s fingers creep into every corner of my life, I find myself looking more and more forward to building a nest and staying indoors over the weekend. If you’re also feeling the pull of comfort and coziness beckoning you deeper into a cocoon, then you’ll want to equip yourself with our carefully curated list of 10 essentials for staying in this weekend. Just don’t blame me if you decide to never leave your house again.
Wellen Quilted Jersey Robe
Comfort has a name, and it’s Wellen’s Quilted Jersey Robe. Quilted fabric is filled with a lightweight insulation to keep you at optimal lounging temperatures. A full-body cut gives you plenty of coverage for your prized possessions. And the pre-washed texture means it comes out of the box soft and wearable. Add a couple pockets for your EDC gear, and this robe becomes a wardrobe staple par excellence.
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon
Why drink whiskey that’s just been in one barrel, when you can have a spirit that’s been aged in two? Woodford Reserve’s Double Oaked Bourbon is just that, and it’s a damned fine spirit if I do say so myself. Delicious when sipped neat, and even a small ice cube or splash of water will open up a whole new world of flavors. It makes a fantastic Old Fashioned or Manhattan, too.
Aged & Ore Neat Glass
While you’re getting yourself ready with the Woodford bottle discussed above, why not make sure that you’re drinking it in the best way possible? Aged & Ore’s Neat Glass will get you there, with its unique design that makes the absolute best of every spirit you pour into it. The secret is its concave walls and sloped opening: That allows the aromatics of a fine whiskey to mingle before meandering directly into your nose.
Tiny Kitchen Prohibition Candle
If you don’t have a time machine handy, Tiny Kitchen’s Prohibition Candle is the next best thing to transport you to the Roaring Twenties. Juniper, tobacco, and vanilla will suffuse every corner of your house over the candle’s 40+ hour burn time, and its vegan wax composition is FDA-approved and chemical-free.
Wonders All Around: The Incredible True Story of Astronaut Bruce McCandless II and the First Untethered Flight in Space
Staying at home doesn’t mean you have to douse your world-traveling ambitions—or in this case, out-of-this-world traveling. Wonders All Around describes the amazing story of Bruce McCandless II, the daring astronaut and former Navy fighter pilot who took the first untethered flight in space. Read the excellently-written book and you just might feel like you’re a part of history, too.
OluKai Moloa Ie Slipper
When it comes to house shoes, most guys are either dedicated slide men or full-coverage slipper enthusiasts. OluKai’s Moloa le Slipper is both, with the company’s patented Drop-In Heel design for versatility in your comfort. Hand-sewn stitching gives it a classy and refined look, while a grippy and non-marking rubber outsole makes these shoes great for both indoor and outdoor activities.
Flikr Personal Concrete Fireplace
Bringing a fire pit inside your house: Bad idea. Using Flikr’s specially designed Personal Concrete Fireplace instead? Now we’re talking. The innovative design of this tiny fire pit burns rubbing alcohol to produce a safe and indoor-friendly flame, making it the perfect partner to a cozy evening sans fireplace. It’s the next best thing to being in the great outdoors.
Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones
Think for a moment on some of your favorite songs. Are they classical sonatas? Rock ballads? Driving techno or old school hip hop rhythms? No matter where your musical tastes lie, Sony’s WH-1000XM4 Headphones will reveal new depths and intricacies in your favorite songs. Their noise canceling properties are downright amazing, giving you the opportunity to hear every single detail of your music while melting away from the outside world. The added smart features like voice control are just the cherry on top of an already excellent cake.
Outerknown Hightide Sweatshorts
Crank up the heat and put your full-length sweats aside—it’s time for Outerknown’s Hightide Sweatshorts to make their appearance in your lounging attire. The freedom of movement these ultra-comfy sweatshorts allow for is pretty awesome, as is the dense cotton/polyester blend that feels like your softest beach towel. A drawstring waist lets you fine tune your fit after a big meal, and zippered pockets mean you can keep your essentials nearby without worrying about them falling out of your pants when you sit down.
Warby Parker Beale Eyeglasses
All of our time spent watching television, working on our computers, and reading books puts a lot of strain on our eyes. It’s not surprising that plenty of us need glasses because of it—but wearing specs can be a cool thing too, especially with specialty brands like Warby Parker. You can get their classically handsome Beale Eyeglasses with single-vision, progressive, reader, or non-prescription lenses, and even add in a blue light filtering option to cut down on eye strain from screens.
