HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR PEOPLE WITH GOOD TASTE
Since its founding in New York in
1977, Smith & Wollensky has defined the classic American steakhouse
experience with its prime-grade, dry-aged steaks, award-winning wine list,
and stellar service. The folks at Smith & Wollensky have entrusted us with
the gift-giving function of their fabulous restaurants. Signature
wood-handled knives, presented in a handsome gift box, ensure that steaks at
home can be cut with ease and style. Other splendid gifts include steak
sauces, salad dressings, crystal wine glasses, cocktail shakers, steak
plates with warming covers, even an executive chef's coat.
BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME? A coin purse designed by New York artist George Skelcher provides a bit of
cheer to the current economic climate. The unique purse was inspired by the
sight of the city's streetcorner beggars soliciting change with used coffee
cups - you know, those ubiquitous, blue-and-white, Greek diner-style cups
that will forever be synonymous with New York coffee culture. Modeled
closely after those same street-tough cups, the gift of a Panhandler's
Change Purse becomes a witty way to distract someone you know from tough
times. Scrimp and save in style.

THE NEW PRESIDENT'S CHAIRPresident-Elect Obama, may we make a suggestion? We offer a chair has already served nine American Presidents, Democrats and Republicans, in the inner sanctum of the White House. The ergonomic design and high-quality construction of the Oval Office Chair are the work of a 100-year-old American company. Very few of these chairs have ever been made, and this is the opportunity for you to acquire, not only a piece of history, but the most comfortable chair of its kind in the world. (With difficult challenges ahead, you'll need all the comfort you can get). And, in the spirit of democracy, we're pleased to offer the same remarkable chair to the homes and offices of your fellow Americans.
ALTERNATIVE TO THE TRADITIONAL GIFT
"As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it's
pretty great to have a new experience," suggests New York writer Robert
Caro. Our mission is to offer gift buyers the opportunity to give innovative
and memorable life experiences as gifts. Choose from an imaginative range of
Experience Gifts that provide an alternative to the usual gift. Your
recipient gets the chance to create a personalized perfume, play chess with
a grand master, practice sleight-of-hand with a magician, wear a
personalized tattoo, go bird-watching with a field ornithologist, learn to
juggle, perform stand-up on Broadway, punch the bags at Gleason's Gym,
produce a short film, or workout with an "American Gladiator." Or, or, or.
Your recipient will receive an attractive Gift Card and simple instructions
for booking the experience.

Direct from the venerable temple of New York Jewish gastronomy, where the motto is "If you can finish your meal, we've done something wrong," we'll rush you the essentials of the city's deli culture. Corned beef at the Carnegie is the genuine article, the knish is delish, and the dense and creamy cheesecake is to die for. Your gift of a Gargantuan Deli Combo includes such sacred objects as 2.5 pounds of Carnegie Deli Corned Beef (fully-cooked), jar of Carnegie Deli mustard, 2 potato knishes, and (save room for dessert), an individual 4-inch famous Carnegie Deli cheesecake. It's the perfect way to feed friends and influence people. |
THE NECKTIE SAYS IT ALL. A man's necktie is perhaps one of the most defining pieces of his wardrobe.
What the Steak Knife Necktie says about its wearer: confident, powerful and
commands attention. New York tiemaker Josh Bach, a carnivore in his own
right, created the bold "crossed knives" design for the city's venerable
steakhouse trade, using only the best imported silks, cutting on the bias,
and bar-tacking by hand. The deep green background borrows from the
masculine ambiance of such traditional male haunts as Peter Luger, Smith &
Wollensky, and Sparks. Hint: Half of all neckties are purchased by women as
gifts, so it wouldn't hurt if men clued their wives or girlfriends into the
above.

MR. MENCKEN’S LIBRARYOne of the early bookcase sets produced by the F. E. Hale Company was sold to a young reporter for the Baltimore Sun by the name of Henry Louis Mencken, a man who became one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. Today, the dedicated artisans of Hale take pride in continuing a 100-year-long tradition of hand-building those same stackable, heirloom-quality Barrister Bookcases, whose practicality, versatility, and classic style have never been surpassed. Sections interchange, no tools needed. Raised panels fit into rail and stile joinery frames, exactly as they were crafted for H. L. Mencken. |
