Our favorite made-in-SD products for this giving season
BY NICOLE MONICO
This year, we stayed local and put together a mix of items that feel very San Diego, whether due to their backstories, their nod to our SoCal lifestyles, or just because they’re cool sh*t that we want ourselves. Find our full list online: sdmag.com/holiday-gift-guide-2022.
1. Imperfects The Hank Popsicle Deck, $69 Founded in 2015, Imperfects is a lifestyle concept and pretty much the epitome of SoCal cool. Selling surf and skate goods and apparel, their products celebrate our imperfections, our uniqueness—such as this Canadian maple deck featuring Cryin' Cowboy Hank in collaboration with artist Hunter Patrick. Weird and undeniably perfect.
2. Blenders Cold Smoke–Nebula Goggles, $120 Blenders celebrates its 10th birthday this year, and we’re suckers for its line of snow products. These lavender Nebula snow goggles feature an all-new Toric lens with a refined vertical axis curve and considerable anti-fog protection—plus the brand’s lens-locking system. Plus, the array of lenses means you can match it to your day’s snowbird look.
3. Skin Resource.MD Winter Essentials Kit, $84 This line of skincare products is fragrance- free, earth-friendly and animal-testing-free. Their three-piece Winter Essen- tials kit helps restore the skin’s natural moisture via its Crystal Clarity Exfo- liation Scrub, Hyaluronic Moisture Boost Serum, and Ultra Rich Biolipid Cream. A percentage of the brand’s profits also go to a nonprofit provid- ing education and health programs for women and children in Africa.
