The unthinkable is approaching in 2014. Gilly Hicks is closing its doors, and not just the Ala Moana location, but all its stores. While the GH line of intimates will live on virtually, the physical stores will be extinct.
It was a short run for Gilly Hicks in Hawaii with a dramatic opening in 2012. Last Christmas, the store seemingly toned it down. Even though, the store is still young and full of vitality, apparently it couldn’t compete against the “jugs of nought” known as Victoria’s Secrets. Aren’t you going to miss the distinct scent of Gilly Hicks that permeates that wing of Ala Moana?
Time’s about up as Christmas is fast approaching, and desperation is setting in for last minute gifts. These Justice League headphones featuring either Batman or Superman are fun and functional.
Physically fit Star Wars fanatics may like their own skin tight costumes. You too could be Chewie, Boba, or Darth (Vader or Maul).
Lastly, a yodeling pickle will sure to be a surprise gift. A yodeling pickle? Yup, a yodelling pickle
In 2014, Toyota will discontinue its FJ Cruiser line, making one last limited edition model called the Trail Teams Ultimate Edition Cruiser. After that, you won’t see any of these SUV/Jeep-looking vehicles from Toyota. That’s an instant collectible right there with only 2500 Trail Team Ultimate Editions manufactured.
Naughty or nice, this FJ Cruiser is for you!
Gifts for a techie? How about the Nest Protect
Not looking for a smart smoke detector? How about a smart watch like the popular Pebble? I helped kickstart this project and love the utility of this evolving device. It’s a great second screen that’s getting better and better.
Still too technologically mundane? Then try to get ahold of Starpath. Apply this luminous material to your driveway, and you’ll have a spectacle of science.
Did you notice that web surfing at Starbucks Hawaii has gotten a lot faster? At least in the Downtown Honolulu area, Starbucks Wifi is now powered by Google, replacing AT&T. So don’t be surprised when you see this login screen on your smart device.
Yup, you are connected to a legit Wifi network.
Speedy, speedy!!
Thanks to Wayne’s World for the screen shots while walking around different Starbucks downtown locations.
I know “expresso” is one of those mistakes you commonly hear people say instead of espresso. But as a gift this year, why not give an express way of making espresso? There’s the popular and moderately priced Nespresso U
If you want to give a coffee addict an even fresher experience, you must look into the Bonaverde Roast-Grind-Brew coffee machine. This Kickstarter project will turn fresh green coffee beans into a fresh cup of coffee. Yes, it roasts the beans then grinds them to brew a cup. While backing this project is done, keep an eye out on the Bonaverde web site to pre-order the machine.
Yes, we’re talking men’s underwear, aka BVDs but not necessarily the tighty whities. Now, it’s super easy to get yourself a clean pair of beebos. Heck, you don’t even have to leave the house. For $95 a year, DaDa will send you a variety of underwear every quarter.
Looking for something more sporty? The Oklahoma Thunder’s Russell Westbrook is designing his own briefs with Kings and Jaxs. How does K&J describe their product line?
Every pair of Kings and Jaxs is built with the little man in mind allowing for ventilation and just the right amount of wiggle room insuring everyday is a happy day in and outside your pants!
For the guys (and gals) who have a penchant for gas, he can now cut one without any repercussions while wearing Shreddies. These high tech undies trap the smell but not the sounds of farts so you can be proud and loud at the same time.
For the gals, a related note. Be sure to get the newer line of Lululemon yoga gear. These updated products will conceal your underwear while holding the halasana.
I’ve already talked about these great Strong Like Bull magnets. Seriously, they are strong, and they make for a fun and useful gift for that person who has everything or for a Disney fan about to embark on a Disney tour.
Even better, for the holidays, you can get a gift tin for your order of four or more magnets. Get green and red magnets or whatever colors you want.
Learning more about these two (unrelated) subjects than I would care to. Ugh, just ugh though of the two, I think I would rather deal with WordPress security. I’m liking the WordFence plugin so far. Full featured yet its usage is understandable.
Talk about getting Hammer’d for real kine. There I was watching the Honolulu City Light Parade when I heard that voice. Was that Aunty Mildred? Wayne Anzaki? Joe Souki? Yes, yes, and yes as Gregg Hammer, Davey D, and a KRTR 96.3 parade entourage rolled down King Street then promptly stalled.
I don’t know why, but the entire parade stopped in place for at least 5 minutes. During this dead air time, Gregg and Davey entertained the crowd telling jokes, poking fun at their sister station’s blown out sound system, and encouraging parade watchers to do the wave. As Mr. Hammer talked to the crowd, he noticed me filming and taking pics.
Meeting Gregg Hammer from Gee Why on Vimeo.
Talk about honored! Even in the dim lights of the parade, Gregg was able to spot and recognize me standing over on the sidewalk. He acknowledged me as “the blogger” and came over to shake my hand. Awestruck! We chatted a bit and took this pic (otherwise it never happened, right?).
Thanks Gregg! What an amazingly memorable way to meet in real life. No bah humbug here. 🙂
