| 10/20/14 Fire Straits These Are Your Fireside Essentials You’ve got someone to cozy up to. You’ve got a fireplace. You’ve got some wood. You’ve got... that’s all you’ve got. Enter: these five things you need in order to raise your fireside game. Preferably without ever having to say the words “fireside game.” |

| |
 | | | FOR BLOWING HOT AIR | | This Antique-Looking Bellows | | | It’s: An antique-looking bellows made from suede or leather, brass and really nice lumber like walnut or cherry.
Which is good for: Stoking fires. Pretending you’re a black-and-white cartoon character. Blowing in people’s faces because it’s funny. | | | | | | |
| |
 | | | FOR BEING A PERSON ON THE FLOOR | | This Rug That Was Once a Reindeer | | | It’s: A reindeer rug that was sustainably sourced from a nomadic Scandinavian tribe. Don’t get in the way of Scandinavian tribes and their leisure.
Which is good for: Feeling environmentally and morally sound. Sleeping on. Wearing as a cape, you weirdo. | | | | | | |
| |
 | | | FOR SETTING THE MOOD | | These Victrolas That Are Very Old | | | They’re: A collection of vintage Victrolas from the early 1900s that work just as well as their first day.
Which are good for: Playing records they didn’t have back then. Giving you an excuse to smoke a pipe. General posturing. | | | | | | |
| |
 | | | FOR MOSTLY JUST KEEPING BLANKETS IN | | This Cedar Box for Blanket Storage | | | It’s: A blanket box made of cedar from Best Made. Apparently they had a run on these things, but they’ll notify you when they’re available again closer to December. “Perfect timing” sounds about right.
Which is good for: Hiding things. Mostly blankets. | | | | | | |
| |
 | | | FOR... BREAKFAST | | This Antique Waffle Iron Because Waffles | | | It’s: A wrought-iron-and-brass waffle iron with a long handle that was made a good number of years ago.
Which is good for: The most laborious and rewarding waffle you’ll ever make. That or, like, grilled cheeses with indents. | | | | | | |
