Holiday Gift Guide 2018 HOPA Shirt

Gee Why — Sat, 01 Dec 2018 03:02:49 +0000

Uncle Clay’s House of Pure Aloha (HOPA) is well known in the islands for serving up some ono shave ice and just as much aloha. So much so that you may want to join the #HOPAlove movement by representing with your own HOPA shirt.

Luckily Ross shares your love, and you might be lucky enough to find a HOPA shirt on their racks. Now the shirt may not have a security tag nor a price tag… hey wait a minute, Santa sees you HOPA fan who likely “traded” shirts. Talk about dressing for less…

Update: Recently read about recent thefts from HOPA.

Holiday Gift Guide 2018 Udaya Online Yoga Membership

Gee Why — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 18:00:46 +0000

Can’t get enough of Rudy Mettia and his Yoga Warrior 365 series from Udaya Yoga and Fitness? Well, Udaya does have its own YouTube channel where they give away full length yoga classes for free!

But the catch is the YouTube channel only gives you a taste of their yoga programs and instructors. If you want full series of instruction, you need to subscribe to Udaya online and opt for the Standard ($14.99 per month) or Enhanced subscription ($18.99 per month). A few months subscription would make for a great gift for that yoga practitioner you know who wants to get deeper into the practice.

Holiday Gift Guide KAWS x Sesame Street x UNIQLO

Gee Why — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 18:00:47 +0000

Here’s another collaboration with Sesame Street, and this time it’s with KAWS and UNIQLO. The UNIQLO shirts already released (and pretty much sold out), but there’s a winter line approaching featuring colder weather clothing. But along with the clothing are these plush toys featuring KAWS “X” signature design.

At $40 each, these release on Black Friday, and while a little creepy, they’re bound to sell quickly.

Holiday Gift Guide 2018 Pink Box of Memories

Gee Why — Sun, 18 Nov 2018 18:00:09 +0000

Talking about nostalgia, how about giving a pink box of memories to a sneaker head for Christmas? But it’s what’s inside the pink box that’ll be the gift itself and also one that triggers memories.

Inside the pink Nike SB box, you’ll find these. Do you remember them?

Okay, they aren’t the replica of the original Tiffany blue colorway, but otherwise these bring back the memories. Even when opening the box, that smell is familiar.

Nike SB did an excellent job with these and at “only” $100. Extra laces, removable swoosh, and those silver aglets are a nice touch. If you can find this 2018 version of the Diamond Dunks (black, white, or even yellow), you’ll make a shoehead happy this holidays.

Holiday Gift Guide 2018 Mickey Mouse Swatch

Gee Why — Sat, 17 Nov 2018 20:00:35 +0000

Yet another nostaligic collaboration literally in time for the holidays. Watch maker, Swatch and Damien Hirst have come up with two great designs featuring an artistic rendition of Mickey.

Priced at $125 (Mirror Spot) and $185 (Spot Mickey), these watches look cool and are limited to celebrate 90 years of The Mouse. Oddly, you can only get these watches on November 18 for 24 hours, but the red, black, and yellow Spot Mickey is already sold out (kinda reminds me of an out of stock Nike reservation). You can add to cart the Mirror Spot and checkout, but I assume you won’t actually get the watch until after November 18.

So if you want to give this Swatch as a gift, you need to hurry!

Holiday Gift Guide 2018 Bombas x Sesame Street

Gee Why — Sat, 17 Nov 2018 18:00:51 +0000

Recently, I’ve noticed a nostalgic push in collaborations between brands. The latest is this Sesame Street collab with Bombas. The sock makers took elements of your favorite Sesame Street characters and created these fun socks.

Not super obvious but you get just enough of a sense to know who the socks match up with. My personal favorite is this one.

Yup, that circle on the socks is none other than The Count’s monocle, and both you and I know where you learned what a monocle was back in the day.

Get these socks from Bombas for a Sesame Street fan. Available for men, women, youth, and toddlers!
