Ursa Major + Topo Design Limited Edition Dopp Kit for Men

Ursa Major has made great strides in their indie, Vermont-based, sustainable, natural men’s skincare line since they started a few years back. They now sell in over 75 stores nationwide (and a few in Europe) including Odin, Orvis and Unis. Now they’ve teamed up with esteemed makers of stylish performance wear, the Colorado based Topo Designs, for a limited edition Dopp Kit for men. For Ursa Major’s part, they’ve included $135 worth of their most popular items—face wash, shave cream, tonic and after-shave balm, inside the kit that in its entirety retails for $125. So basically, save $10 and get a very cool travel kit. Speaking of, the bag part is handmade from 1000d CORDURA® fabric coated with a waterproof pack cloth, a sturdy YKK zipper, and parachute cord hook loop made in the USA (in a LEED-certified building).

You could file this one under holiday gift to get [dad, brother, dude you need to buy a present for], or don’t and buy it for yourself. The guilt-free part’s built into the transaction—5% of the sales will go to part of an initative organized by Orvis and The National Wildlife Federation to help save the endangered winter habitat of the American Bison. The Dopp Kit is available for $125 at shop.ursamajormen.com

Heineken jumps into the men’s skincare game with Smootheriser skin cream
The ingredients in this skincare cream are the same as those in the beer
Heineken skin cream

The next time you pour yourself a cold one, take a good look at the head before you quaff that first sip. For that matter, you might want to reconsider the entire beer, because it turns out it has the ability to multitask and lead a double life as a skincare product.
Wait, what?
Yeah, it may come off as a tough concept to swallow, but it turns out it’s true. If your choice of brews is Heineken, you’ll doubtless want to know that the renowned beer company is launching the “Heineken Smootheriser,” a beauty cream that’s blatantly designed to take advantage of the brand’s ongoing popularity in the beer world.

Easter baskets are for adults, too
Easter rabbit

Who says Easter baskets are just for kids? Putting together an Easter basket is almost more fun than receiving one. Gifting or receiving adult Easter baskets make the holiday just as fun (if not more so) for grown-ups. While my taste buds and interests may have evolved beyond chocolate eggs and coloring books, making an adult Easter basket is just as easy.
To get started, you'll consider all the same things you'd put in a child's basket, but you'll select adult-friendly varieties of the same items. Adult Easter baskets can be gifted to your partner, a friend, a family member, or even a co-worker. From premium chocolate to top-tier wines, if you're not sure where to start, these adult Easter basket ideas will help you begin brainstorming.
