You really won't find a more seasonal sneaker than these. From the rich, caramel-colored suede and grippy rubber sole to the stitched moc toe, they've got everything you might want. A modernized on-trend update to New Balance's 574 silhouette, they're cut from premium suede and feature geometric accents on the midsole and Fresh Foam cushioning for premium comfort. After all, moc-toe styles are having a moment right now.

A dutch oven is an old school piece of kitchen equipment. It's heavy and stout but efficient as hell. It will go from stovetop to oven to grill and eventually to the refrigerator. Unfortunately, they'll usually cost you at least $300. Enter the newly-released Milo dutch oven. Polished and finished by hand, then sprayed with two coats of enamel and fired twice for an extremely durable and attractive finish, it has all the qualities of a Staub or Le Creuset, for less than a third of the price. And the matte black finish is modern, masculine and cool (but it also comes in white, if that's more your style).

We like everything about these socks. First of all, they're by Bombas, which means they're crazy comfortable, extra durable and for every pair sold, they donate a pair to someone in need. And these particular socks are from the brand's Ali Ropes collection, designed as a tribute to Muhammad Ali's legacy as an athlete, humanitarian and philanthropist.

What do you mean you're too manly for bath bombs? The holidays are stressful and we're told that Mercury is about to enter retrograde. So let your stress melt away or mend your body after a particularly grueling workout with one of these CBD-infused bath bombs. (Remember how good CBD is for you?) Just toss it into a tub filled with hot water and your bathroom instantly turns into an effervescent, pain-relieving, mind-unwinding steam room/hot tub situation.

Alexander Wang knows how to make great T-shirts. It's what got the designer noticed and helped him build the big name brand and cult following he has today. So this collaboration with Uniqlo is pretty exciting because it means great designer details without the hearty markup. The micro ribbing, sleeve darts and clever seaming have the hallmarks of a high-end performance base layer but this one only costs about twenty bucks.
