The 2011 "Want It" List
Great toys, better booze, sports worth traveling for, taking revenge on your best friend who made you rent an ill-fitted suit from Men's Wearhouse for his wedding by showing up at the holiday party in a bespoke suit that looks like a million bucks (but didn't actually break the bank).
Here is what we want this holiday: Fast, Smart, Sleek, Tailored, Mouthwatering, Mostly Affordable, Ingenious & Adventurous... and we want it first, if at all possible? Stewart/Stand scans the globe to find this & much more. We post it here, on our blog, via Facebook & Twitter... what ever your favored form of communication - we have you covered. Don't miss out. Check back for our weekly posting...
1. Lytro - Light-Field Camera
This week, Stewart/Stand wants the new Lytro "light-field" camera.
Image stabilizing lenses & auto focus can only do so much. A night
out doesn't feel right with your bulky Nikon SLR & attachments, what about a
camera that can guarantee a perfect shot every time, fit into your
pocket & hold up to 750 photos. No focus, auto-focus, landscape/portrait, indoor/outdoor lighting rubbish... "We'll take it!"
Why it's so cool: The Lytro lets you focus images after you take them. The Lytro captures an entire light field (meaning all light traveling in all directions), allowing you to focus & re-focus any part of the picture at anytime.
See for yourself... play with Lytro at the WIRED Store in NYC on 42nd & Broadway. The 7th annual
WIRED Store promises a 1st look at new gadgets and gear, events,
installations and experiences that embody the “WIRED lifestyle.” Check out more than 200
hot new products. Shop from Friday, Nov. 18 through Saturday, Dec.
24. The Store will be open noon to 7 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays
(closed Thanksgiving Day).

2. Foldboat - by Frommeld/Mathies
This week, Stewart/Stand wants the "foldboat" designed by Frommeld &
Mathies. How do you find room in your studio apartment for this sleek
contemporary design? You can store it completely flat... or roll it up
& hang it on the wall (12" x 4'). The sheet (boat) is just 5mm thick
and holds two people when afloat.
Contact the designers at www.foldboat.info to place an order.
3. MAB - Michael Andrews Bespoke, NY
This week, Stewart/Stand wants Michael Andrews Bespoke. A "MAB Gift Card" or a "Booked Appointment" is the perfect gift for any man. It's personal, it's memorable & it's affordable. The MAB experience begins with an initial consultation, where you meet with a MAB stylist and then with Michael who takes all of your measurements to get that slim, modern, custom cut. The studio offers a 12ft oak bar stocking all the finer spirits & plays the latest sporting event or movie – so it feels like you’re hanging out a buddy’s place. Orders require 6-8wks, when the last alterations are made to perfect the fit.
Call (212.677.1755) or Order Online. MAB Gift Cards are mailed within 48hrs. MAB 2 Great Jones Alley, New York, NY 10012.
MAB is not your father’s tailor. The brand cuts slim & modern suits that are corporate workplace appropriate. The business began when Michael started making suits for his friends/colleagues. MAB offers top-quality bespoke garments marked by a fine attention to detail and custom options that reflect each client’s personality & taste. The experience is just as good as the final product - the studio can turn any begrudged shopper into a true sartorialist.
4. Wave Cave, Board Case + Tent
This week, Stewart/Stand wants the "wave cave" designed by Product Designer Marta & Promoter Jez. Travelling through Australia & Indonesia for four years ... you will now find one of them at the most remote, (and unfortunately crowded), spots on earth introducing their brilliant design. A combination surfboard case and tent, Wave Cave can carry up to four boards in addition to creating a protective shelter. The padding that kept your boards cushioned earlier now makes for a nice place to lay your head. Shop their site: www.WaveCaveSurf.com
5. The Lobster Tail, from Rispoli Pastry Shop (Ph. 201-943-6002)
This week, Stewart/Stand wants a dozen "lobster tails" from The Rispoli
Pastry Shop in Ridgefield, NJ (201 943 6002). Treat your family to
something transcendent. Adding a warning label would be appropriate,
this secret family recipe is mouthwatering, rich & highly addictive.
Made with a thousand layers of paper-thin pastry that when baked forms a
crispy shell. Inside a sweet cream, delicately balanced and indulgent.
Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. Accompanied by an espresso,
the Rispoli Pastry Shop lobster tail is an affordable luxury and the
perfect treat to share with your family this holiday.
Call ahead to order for the holiday, if you arrive too late you may find
yourself on a police-patrolled street and a line that stretches around
the block. But, "If ya have to, ya have to."
Rispoli Pastry Shop & Fire Side Cafe
824 Broad Avenue, Ridgefield, NJ 07657
Tue-Sat 8-7p, Sun 8-4p, Closed Monday with the exception of the Holidays
6. Mediterranee Collection by Le Compagnie de Provence
This week, Stewart/Stand wants the "Mediterranean Sea" bath & body collection from Compagnie de Provence. Made in France, these luxurious well-being products are delicately scented with a fragrance that features white flowers, ripe citrus with subtle hints of musk... appropriately topped off with a light note of salt. Forget the stress of your 'daily grind' and transport yourself to the turquoise blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea... Bask under the intense blue skies and feel your feet in the warm, white sands of the Côte d'Azur. Colorful, pure and modern; gift with confidence. The award winning typography-based packaging is sure to be well received.
