PERK ALERT

The Best Chocolate from Paris

Then we’re hooking you up with eye-catching pop-art prints—including the opportunity to create your own Warhol. Plus: your very own wardrobe butler.

SALE-ING

60% Off Kiki de Montparnasse

There’s a word for people who think to make underwear out of a chiffon bow: genius. Like the kind and caring folks at Kiki de Montparnasse, who are currently offering their very attractive underthings and nighttime clothing for a song. Money works, too.

FLYING BLIND

Spiked Grooming Stuff from NYC

Your hair could really use a drink right now. And this hop-infused 60-proof wax and 90-proof pomade from Blind Barber in New York should sate the thirst. There’s also a gin-based shaving cream and aftershave. Because your face could loosen up, too.

INTO LEATHER

Wearing a Baseball on Your Feet

You like America’s pastime. And you’ve got feet. Related: Allen Edmonds is making custom boat shoes from Rawlings glove leather and stitching. You can put your favorite team’s logo on them, and they’ll look like a baseball meeting a summer in Maine. Hats made from hockey pucks: still a bad idea.

OPEN SESAME

A Ridiculously Sturdy Bottle Opener
