Litquidity's 2022 Last-Minute Holiday Gift Guide 🤝🎅🎄🎁
If you've been getting clapped at work and haven't had time to do holiday gift shopping, we've got y'all covered. Open this email for our curated gift ideas.
Litquidity Capital
December 11, 2022
If you're like me, you're a serial procrastinator and/or you've been so busy with deal flow that you forgot that Christmas was right around the corner. You still need to buy gifts for your family, friends, significant others, teammates, doormen, side pieces, the hot HR girl (or hot guy if that's your thing) etc. and need something quick & high quality.
We've compiled a list of some great gift options that won't leave your peers with a milquetoast response to your generosity. It's been a tough year in the markets so make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck. Don't get a reputation for being a weak gift-giver and check out the items below.
We've bucketed them by categories and have added prices, discount codes, and cutoff dates for Christmas delivery where possible. The list, as you'd expect, is heavily skewed towards dudes but we've consulted our "female advisory network" for some truly bespoke ideas.
Lock in some capital gains from your stocks/cryptos/NFTs or allocate some bonus dollars towards some good gifts while there's still time.
As for us, if you'd like to support us keeping all content free and give thanks, you can buy us a beer right here!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the Litquidity team 🤝🎅🎄🎁 Y'all are the best!
FOR THE GENTLEMEN 🤵
Apparel
Cuts Clothing
High-quality, comfortable basics that fit well can be hard to find these days. Cuts’ “Always On” or AO T-shirt is an excellent option for anyone who wants a solid color shirt that will look as good on them as it feels.
Collars & Co
Collars & Co revolutionized work- and formalwear with their polos. They feature the same dress collars typically seen on restricting button-downs, but in the form of a comfortable and breathable short-sleeved polo. They work well under sweaters, blazers, or even solo.
Nadaam
As sweater weather begins to hit in full force, it’s essential to make sure those we care about are prepared. Nadaam offers incredibly soft and sustainable cashmere for a fraction of the price of most other luxury brands. Their “Essential” cashmere sweater is a must-have for staying warm.
Meriggi
Snow bird season is upon us, which means it’s time to make sure those who appreciate a 5-inch inseam are taken care of. Meriggi’s swim shorts are great for achieving that tailored fit inside and outside the water.
They currently have 25% off SITE WIDE with code "LITHOLIDAY".
Shipping Cutoff: December 13th at 1pm PT
State & Liberty
As workwear evolves, it’s becoming more important to prioritize comfort while maintaining the traditional professional look. These dress pants from State & Liberty look and fit like a standard pair of tapered suit pants, yet they’re made of a breathable and stretchy material that helps make discomfort a thing of the past.
Mizzen + Main
I've been wearing Mizzen + Main's performance dress shirts for years. They are basically a blend of tailored dress shirts with the comfort and stretchiness of golf polos.
They're offering $50 off orders of $250+ and $100 off orders of $400+ with code "MOREGIFTS" at checkout. So it's a good time to stock up on these if you need to refresh your in-office attire.
Lululemon
These are an in-office staple for the look of nice tailored dress pants and the comfort of your favorite gym shorts
Alo Yoga
Alo Yoga is giving Lululemon a run for its money with its high-quality and extremely comfortable athleisure gear. This Micro Waffle hoodie is soft, breathable, and perfect for everyday wear.
James Perse
Well known for its minimalism-inspired luxury, this James Perse T-shirt set is a great gift to help elevate the casual essentials of any man’s closet.
Dunhill
This cashmere light jacket from the British luxury menswear brand Dunhill is a beautiful, but understated piece to complete someone’s Fall and Winter rotation.
Footwear
Amberjack
Thanks to our friends at Amberjack, the days of wearing sneakers for the commute and changing into dress shoes at the office are gone. They’re dedicated to making shoes that feel as good as they look. These Chelsea boots are a great option to be dressed up or down for the office, a night out, and anything in between.
Oliver Cabell
A closet isn’t complete without a good pair of low-top leather sneakers. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion; depending on the color, they go well with virtually any outfit. Since not everyone wants to drop almost $500 on a pair of Common Projects, the Low 1 from Oliver Cabell is an excellent lower-priced alternative. Also, they’re built from Italian leather and the same Margom outsoles, so there’s no need to worry about sacrificing quality.
Del Toro
We at Litquidity are firm believers that everyone needs a good pair of party loafers in their life, so we created a pair in collaboration with Del Toro. These handmade suede loafers are the missing final touch for formal occasions this season.
Face & Body
Stryx
Just because summer is over, doesn’t mean your face is done needing protection. An essential part of every skincare routine is incorporating a daily SPF to protect from harmful rays. The Daily Moisturizer from Stryx is designed to hydrate and protect men’s skin, making it a great staple.
Kiehl’s
This gift set from the experts at Kiehl’s is a perfect trio for any man in your life who knows how critical taking care of his skin is. With a cleanser, moisturizer, and under-eye cream, they’ll be set to keep their skin looking revitalized and healthy.
FOR THE LADIES 🤵♀️
Madewell
Cable knit sweaters are back this year, and this one from Madewell is a perfect option for keeping yourself, or someone else in your life warm this season.
Aritzia
With many color, style, and fabric options, the Aritzia Super Puff is still an undisputed frontrunner for the best affordable coat on the market.
The Clear Cut
For bespoke natural diamond engagement rings and great everyday fine jewelry pieces handmade in NYC. If you're a guy reading this, your lady will really appreciate the premium quality of these pieces.
Rothy's
Incredibly comfortable and understated shoes that are also washable and made with recycled material.
MZ Wallace
MZ Wallace has bags designed for any and every occasion, with practicality and style in mind. This Dawn Travel duffel is perfect to fit all that’s needed for the gym or a weekend trip, while still being easy-to-carry.
Dr. Barbara Sturm
Dr. Barbara Sturm is well known for her anti-aging skincare products designed to keep skin looking healthy and hydrated. This gift set includes four of her best-selling serums presented in a house-shaped box making it perfect for the giving season.
FOR EVERYONE
Accessories / Misc.
Eight Sleep
The Eight Sleep Pod 3 Mattress is the latest in sleeping technology, designed to optimize the entire sleep experience. It offers heating and cooling, sleep and health tracking, a vibration alarm, and many other features that help deliver the best rest possible for its users.
Shipping Cutoff: December 14th
Code: Use code "LIT" for $300 off their signature Pod 3 Mattress and $150 off the Pod Cover
ViewSonic Portable Monitors
These are my go-to portable monitors. They hook up easily and are ready to go right out of the box. They very sleek, high resolution, and easy to travel with. Here are some options and deals below:
AirPod Pros
Obviously AirPods need no introduction but we found a deal on Amazon where you can buy the latest generation AirPod Pros for $230, which normally retail for $250.
Ledger
Crypto has had a crazy year and many centralized exchanges and lenders have gone under, lost and/or misappropriated customer deposits. This has served as a wake up call for many (including myself) that you need to take ownership of your crypto and keep it secure. Ledger is the leader in self-custody products for your digital assets.
Ledger recently announced its latest product, Stax, which is the most advanced & customizable wallet with a large e-ink screen. It'll be available March 2023 but can be pre-ordered now.
Sports ⛳ 🎾
TWOTWO
I recently got into Padel (not Pickleball) and have fallen in love with the game as an alternative to tennis.
TWOTWO is Swedish padel and lifestyle brand creating some great gear that I’ve been using the past month.
You can check out their padel racquets, hoodies, caps, and more on their website and get 10% of all their products by using code “Litquidity10” at checkout. Or you can just click this link and it’ll be automatically applied to your cart! Catch y’all at Padel Haus in Williamsburg.
Shipping Cutoff: December 16th for US orders
Golf Galaxy
Golf shoes no longer need to look like your grandpa’s old oxfords. Golf accessories have come a long way to help you improve your game (results not guaranteed). Advances in golf club designs and ball technology are aimed to improve your distance and fix your nasty slice (results also not guaranteed). If you're looking to make 2023 the year you break 80, you owe it to yourself to check out Golf Galaxy's holiday sale. Here are a few items we liked:
