Stefan Boublil, the creative director of the apartment<\/a>, is next to share his wish list of gifts to give\/receive this holiday season. Thank you, Stefan, for taking the time to share. (If you’d like to share your<\/em> list, just send us 5 to 10 links<\/a> to items you want to give or get.)<\/p>\n

Stefan’s own words:<\/p>\n

I must confess I have been extra-naughty this year, what with all my coveting thy neighbor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wife, restraining orders and whatnot. That is why I am expecting mostly compressed carbon this christmas, which doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean all my wishes should go to waste, so here they are, in the hope you may partake in the joy I am forbidden by court order to relish in :<\/p>\n

1. First of all, somebody made new, old-style Mickey Mouse cartoons<\/a> ($8.96) and no one told me? Shame on all of you!<\/p>\n

2. Instead of merely crushing pepper like a common thug, this beautiful wooden mill laterally slices it, for increased flavor and something to talk about at dinner other than arguing, again, about what the plural of Focus is*: Molino Pfefferm\u00c3\u00bchle Eichenholz<\/a>, \u00e2\u201a\u00ac 95.00<\/p>\n

3. In researching new gear for my annual get-out-of-the-freezing-cold January trip, I looked far and wide for the best, distortion-free iPhone lenses available and Moment delivered, right on time: Moment Lens<\/a>, $99.99<\/p>\n

4. Good design is often a simple functional idea, executed with beauty. Such is a mere weighed knot in your iPhone cable, preventing its fall off your already crowded night table and subsequent cursing-at-the-gods you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get AppleCare: Night Cable<\/a>, $39.99<\/p>\n

5. Living now only a few minutes from Modena, Italy, I went looking for the best Balsamic vinegar money could buy and I found the oldest producer in the world, founded in 1605 and, amazingly, available on Amazon for your convenience: Giuseppe Giusti Banda Rosa Balsamic Vinegar of Modena<\/a>, $75.00<\/p>\n

\"Stefan<\/p>\n

6. A trauma (see #4) you might do away with completely if you only used a dock of course: Spool Dock<\/a>, $65.00<\/p>\n

7. I want this life-size flasher Gremlin<\/a> ($239.99) from Gremlins 2 because it is a life-size flasher Gremlin from Gremlins 2, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t argue with me.<\/p>\n

8. Under a crisp white shirt in daytime and all by itself at night is how I imagine my perfect birthday going in the company of my wife and Sophie Hines\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Intersect Elastic Harness<\/a> ($28.00).<\/p>\n

9. If you read this blog, you are a person of discerning taste and probably have a good pair of speakers in your home so don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bother with those crappy underpowered bluetooth ones just to stream from your phone, instead, connect what you already have: ROCKI<\/a>, $49.00<\/p>\n

10. And finally, four years ago, while still in NYC and in order not to go insane, I peeked within the layers of my time so far experienced and attempted to analyze what I saw. In doing so, I dug up a process to question everything, a method for sanity which I have named The Considered Life. This year, I published. So if you will allow this bit of self-promotion as my last wish, here it is, for your consideration:<\/p>\n

For iOS: The Considered Life<\/a>
\nFor Kindle: The Considered Life<\/a><\/p>\n
