Gallery: Gift Guide: 9 Retro Presents for the Hipster in Your Life
Crosley01Crosley Turntable
__Crosley Bermuda Turntable__ It would be way more legit if you cruised thrift stores until you found a vintage Califone that spent the last 30 years in a Maryland church basement. But since this is a gift, it's OK to go retro. The [Crosley Bermuda](http://www.crosleyradio.com/ProductDetail?Cat=2&pk=CR6233A&colorID=0) is a gorgeous portable record player that also can be set up on legs in the home. Perfect for the friend who's hipster-curious, but not quite ready to invest in mustache wax. $250
Best Made Co02best made mugs
__Best Made Enamelware Mugs__ Next time you build a small campfire on your fire escape, step outside in your union suit while sipping thoughtfully from one of these gorgeous [mugs by Best Made](http://www.bestmadeco.com/products/seamless-enamelware-mug) (the same people who brought you the fashionable Best Made axe). They're built using real WWII-era machinery, and the rim and handle are double dipped in enamel. Be careful not to spill any coffee on your beard! $32
Field Notes03Field Notes notebooks
__Field Notes Ambition Edition__ Philistines will ask you about your Moleskine, as if you'd be caught carrying one of *those* mass-market scribble sheets in your saddlebags. [Field Notes](http://fieldnotesbrand.com/colors/ambition/) are the real deal. This set gets you three notebooks: one with ledger lines, another with graph paper and (most excitingly!) a third that serves as a weekly calendar. Bury your smartphone in your garden. $10
Williams Sonoma04Hori Hori knife
__Williams Sonoma Hori Hori knife__ You know you're using the right tool for the job if it's something most people have never heard of. Like this [Hori Hori knife](http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/8226540/?catalogId=68&sku=8226540&cm_ven=Google_PLA&cm_cat=Shopping&cm_pla=default&cm_ite=default&gclid=Cj0KEQiA7tCjBRDulMny5rfM0dkBEiQA7fcshaHoaLYgHrXUPLZ6l2sWCxuFumnfntF0T1P46q7TZj8aAlQs8P8HAQ&kwid=productads-plaid^83089263223-sku^8226540-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^42798163783). What's that? You were going to use it to cut through an apple? Ho, ho! It's really for growing apples, not eating them. Yes, this gardening knife loosens soil and serves as a decent spade, but also saws through tree branches when it's fruit picking time. $35
Filson05Filson-computer-bag
__Filson Restored Computer Bag__ There is literally nothing more hipster than [this backpack](http://www.filson.com/products/restored-computer-bag.99174.html?fromCat=true&fvalsProduct=collections/filson-restoration-department&fmetaProduct=cc15/). Filson takes worn-out bags and restores them in "limited quantities by expert craftsmen" before selling the old bags for more than a new one costs. Even better, it only sells ten per week because false scarcity is incredibly appealing. You can practically smell the beard! $585
Fisher06Fisher-Space-Pen copy
__Fisher Moon Landing Space Pen__ Growing up, you wanted to be an astronaut. You can't go to space any more, though. Space is lame now that rich people have gentrified it. What you can do is write a note with this [commemorative pen](http://www.spacepen.com/45thanniversayastronautspacepen.aspx) bemoaning the current state of the space program by listing all the ways it was better in the '60s when you had to really want to go there and couldn't just buy your way in. $88
Muji07Muji-pencil
__Muji Wooden Hexagonal Mechanical Pencil__ No one uses pencils anymore, which is great, because you can bring them back. Muji is among the finest pencil-makers in the world and [this cedar-bodied mechanical](http://www.muji.us/store/stationery/pen-pencils/wooden-hexagonal-mechanical-pencil-0-5-natural.html) will set you apart as a gentleperson of real taste and sophistication who would never deign to use a pen, unless it was a pen other people don't have. $6.50
Pendleton08Pendelton Blanket
__Pendleton Glacier National Park Blanket__ Within your lifetime, the glaciers will recede away into memory. Go see them now, or at least imply you did with Pendleton's boldly designed [wool blanket](http://www.pendleton-usa.com/product/Home-Blankets/Blankets/SOLID-PATTERN-BLANKETS/GLACIER-NATIONAL-PARK-BLANKET/166372/sc/1777/c/1821/pc/1816.uts). It looks great on your bed, and it can be cut up and fashioned into trousers that, paired with your enormous beard, could lead others to mistake you for Jeremiah Johnson. Don't forget your fiddle. $189 and up.
Chemex09Chemex
__Chemex Six Cup Coffeemaker__ There is only one way to be seen making coffee, and that's in [a Chemex](http://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/products/classic.html). Keep the Keurig under your counter, and leave this sitting out. You don't even really have to know how to use it (Stick some flowers in it!). But it will genuinely make a wonderful pot of coffee. Just don't let that ruin it for you. $42
