Hipster Holiday Gift Guide 2010 Pt. 1

3.) Let’s just take all the work and originality out of being a photographer and add a fisheye, macro, or wide angle lens to our iPhones? What do you say? Photojojo $20-$40

4.) You know what? I’m sick of seeing mustaches everywhere. Lord knows I love a good mustache like any other misguided twenty-something living in Hipsterville , but I’m sick of seeing mustache emblems everywhere. Mustache pillows, mustache necklaces, mustache car ornaments? Well, what about the less appreciated but equally charming body adornment, the chest hair? The chest hair doesn’t nearly get enough love as it should and we all know how much I f’ing love chest hair. Though I couldn’t find any chest hair necklaces or pillows, I did find this lovely chest hair font t-shirt at Veer. Veer $22

5.) By far my favorite find. I laughed out loud when I saw this t-shirt, then I cried. It voices my sentiments exactly…and maybe a little of Hemingway’s. Ooooh snap! Man-on-man-Lost-Generation-author action! Etsy $18

6.) Who doesn’t have a schoolgirl crush on Ira Glass? Oh, you don’t? You don’t like men who sound like Woody Allen? You don’t like men who have to wear shoulder pads to give the illusion that they have bigger shoulders? You don’t like men who wear glasses that overtake their face? Good, leave them all to me! Etsy $13

7.) I would have rocked the crap out of this Ghostbusters backpack as a child. I probably would have slept with it and pretended that I was spooning Egon Spengler every night too. 80’s Tees $40

8.) If I could be anyone, it would be Amy Sedaris. Well, maybe the only other person I’d like to be is her brother, David Sedaris. If I could combine the two together- Amvid or Damy- then I’d be all set. Sedaris previous how-to book, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence is possibly one of my all-time favorite books, and Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People looks like it’s quickly climbing up the ranks. Amazon $14.51

9.) Shopgirl is one of my all-time favorite books. The Pleasure of My Company is not. Nonetheless, Steve Martin is a not-so-surprisingly gifted writer so I have no doubt that his new book, An Object of Beauty is a delightful read. Just don’t ask the audience at 92nd Street Y. This particular book is about an unscrupulous female art dealer climbing her way up in the New York City art world. Amazon $14.65

10.) I’ve written about the Guerilla Art Kit before in my Guerilla Art post. This book is a great gift for anyone who aspires to be a street artist but is too chicken to ever do anything about. In this book, one can do kindergarten-type urban art exercises such as leaving anonymous notes at public places and seed bombing the shit out of a vacant lot. Amazon $13.57
