As city folk, we’ll tell you first-hand that there’s nothing more frustrating than being on-the-go, only to get tangled in the cords of your headphones as you rummage through your bag/swipe your subway card/hail a cab/jostle a fellow pedestrian. INSOUND’s hoodie with built-in headphones solves this problem and is cute to boot!
Old school meets new school meets awesome.
Kotori headphones may only be available in Japan at the moment, but they’re so cute that we’re considering dusting off our passports and making the trip. With over a hundred colorful designs and original themes, your custom Kotoris will stand out in a sea of white wires.
4. Based On A T.R.U. Story (Deluxe Version) by 2 Chainz
We know it’s a long shot to think that any contemporary hip-hop fan doesn’t already own 2 Chainz‘ #1 album. Still, we encourage you to surprise a hip-hop head who never got around to snagging it with a copy of B.O.A.T.S. deluxe. The artwork, designed by DONDA, is deliciously dark, and the music is ridiculously infectious (truuuuu). Our faves: “No Lie,” “Birthday Song,” “Yuck!,” and “I’m Different.” Download it on iTunes or buy it in stores.
5. Agency Republic’s Change The Tune Poster
What better way to express your frustration at a poor Spotify playlist selection than by chucking the nearest object against the wall at close range? Agency Republic’s Change The Tune Poster allows you to do just that by hiding a kick sensor behind a seemingly ordinary wall poster. Triggering the kick by hitting the poster or, better still, throwing something at it, changes the song.
Admittedly, this is a DIY gift and doesn’t appear to be in stores, but if somebody were willing to build one for us, we wouldn’t complain!
Jawbone’s Jambox Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is the perfect combination of size and sound. Jambox is ideal to light up any party with a powerful, full-bodied sound to fill even the largest rooms. Its wireless capabilities free it from cables, so you can carry these compact speakers from room to room. Hold concert sound right in the palm of your hand. It’s the best little speaker you’ll ever own!
7. Rihanna ‘Diamonds’ Tour Tickets
We would stay warm all winter long if we had a Rihanna Diamonds show at the Barclays Center to look forward to in the new year! Who better to “Jump” off the Spring season with than Bad Gal Riri?
8. The Other Side of Tomorrow by The Slakadeliqs
This album is a definite must-have for fans of R&B, funk, and soul. A product of Reservoir songwriter Slakah The Beatchild, The Slakadeliqs have become known on the Canadian and European urban music scenes with a Polaris Prize nomination this year and gigs around the world. Our recommendations: “Keep Breathing,” “Call Me,” and “Dear Lucy.” Available on Bandcamp.
9. Step Up Revolution: The Soundtrack
The franchise that won’t stop stepping up brought its A game to its latest installment’s soundtrack. Timbaland, Fergie, Jennifer Lopez, and of course, M.I.A. mingle on this thirteen-track release to create a melting pot of pop/EDM/dubsteppy goodness. The party girl or guy in your life is sure to appreciate this mix, even if they’re not particularly light on their feet. Buy it on iTunes or Amazon.
