Alba Hawaiian
My friend Kayla Cagan says:
“I swear this is the best after-sun lotion ever. It says it’s kona coffee, but it smells like mint-chocolate chip ice cream to me. It’s totally cooling and delicious. It may not be the best marketing, but this is perfection in a bottle.”
Bring one to the friend whose beach house or pool you’ve been invading all summer.

Original Oball
We ended up with our Oball by walking into a toy store and asking the owner what babies like. She heaped praise on this lightweight, graspable ball–and the baby is amazed. Great gift for the newbie in your life.

Tub Trugs
The Internet cannot shut up about these Tub Trugs. They’re waterproof, rubbery bins you can use to haul crap in the garden or store stuff inside. Also, they come in a rainbow of fruit flavors. If you need stuff to help you take care of your other stuff, you can’t go wrong with these.

Meatpaper
Meat! No recipes, no restaurant reviews, Meatpaper is “your journal of meat culture,” and they don’t mean it ironically.
This awesome magazine hails from foodie-haven, vegetarian-friendly San Francisco, and its mission is to document the “fleischgeist.” What’s that, you may ask, with your mouth full of bacon? It’s the emerging interest in our meat’s origins, how we relate to it, and why it’s so extra tasty.
Full disclosure: Co-founder Sasha Wizansky is an acquaintance of mine, so I’m rooting for her. I’m also rooting for a scratch-and-sniff cover next issue.
$28 at Meatpaper
(Price for a one-year subscription.)
