Gift Recommendation

With its large case size and impressive 200m of water resistance, the Rugged Digital Basic is a purpose-built tool ready for action.

All Day, Purpose, and Terrain American-made nylon watch strap

The ADPT Single Pass is a minimal take on the nylon strap, featuring one strip of nylon, a fixed nylon keeper, and a single buckle. Unlike the Mil-Strap, a Single Pass has no extra hardware or flaps of material, creating a cleaner, simpler overall look. The design also allows for watches to sit closer to the wrist, and or the band to be fastened under the wrist, for a more classic look.

A notetakers notepad

Sometimes you need a bigger notebook, one that’ll lie flat on your desk, ready for to-do lists and phone messages. Sometimes you need The Steno.The Steno is 6" by 9" with a black “Double-O Wiring” spiral at the top so it lies flat, open or closed. Inside you’ll find 80 pages of 70# “Bright White” paper Gregg-Ruled with a fine, soy-based application of “Double Knee Duck Canvas” light brown ink. The covers are 60 pt. “Super Duty Chipboard,” with a screen-printed 1-color application of “Dictation Smudge” black ink.

The Perfect Retro Alarm Clock

Indulge in the nostalgia of a bygone era with this retro-inspired alarm clock from Newgate. The matte case exudes sophistication and style, while the bold mid-Century atomic dial is a striking and captivating feature. Housed in a matte rectangular case and mounted on widely-spaced plinth feet, this clock is a true work of art.Crafted with attention to detail, this alarm clock boasts materials such as a silicone coated acrylic case, metal hands, and an acrylic lens, ensuring durability and longevity without sacrificing beauty. Offered with a matte black or matte white dial, it adds a touch of refined elegance to any setting.

1,000 lumens in the palm of your hand

Sure, your phone probably has a flashlight button/app on it, but most of the time it leaves something to be desired. Carrying a dedicated flashlight on your keys, in your bag, or in the glovebox is one of those things you won’t know how you lived without until you pick one up. Looking for a dropped item, navigating your way to the garbage cans at night, or changing a tire in the dark can be much more convenient with a powerful light nearby. Nitecore makes some of the most compact, feature-rich, and affordable flashlights in the category. Their TUP packs a blinding 1000 lumens of lighting power into a palm-sized and pocket-friendly aluminum chassis.
