What to buy for the back-to-land, cooler-than-thou, anti-establishment hipster? Whether they're a full-sleeve tattoo type with a love of the open road, a bearded Maine sailor, or an Earth Goddess biodynamic farmer, these gifts will do just fine. Everything is artisanal, organic, and heritage. Short of a guided Ayahuasca ceremony, we've collected all the dreamy stuff.

Incausa
01
Incausa Bath & Meditate Bundles
This energy clearing [bundle of goodness](http://www.incausa.co/product/bath-meditate-large-bundle) is centered around some raw palo santo, the best-smelling burn on Earth. There's also breu resin, incense sticks, and a small-batch vegan soap with patchouli, cardamon, clove, and geranium oils. Sure to help keep the transcendent vibes going for weeks. $36
Filson
02
Filson Mittens
These hand-beaded suede [mittens](http://www.filson.com/men/gloves/terray-long-cuff-mitten-20029379.html#89) ($200) are silicon-infused for waterproof protection and lined with Polartec Thermal Pro High Loft for extra warmth. The soft fur-trimmed mitts also look crackerjack!

Tetra
03
Tetra Ring Pipe
This smoking accessory is designed to sit ergonomically in the palm of your hand, or fetchingly on the coffee table. Created by Lindsey Hampton, the handmade stoneware [pipe](http://www.shop-tetra.com/products/ring-pipe-blue?variant=32231234182) ($150) in an ombré fade is 3.5 inches wide and will stoke up holiday cheer.
I Pezzi Dipinti
04
I Pezzi Dipinti Scarf
These captivating and sumptuous tie-dyed scarves come from I Pezzi Dipinti. The hand-loomed [Wool Tiger Shawl](https://i-pezzi-dipinti.myshopify.com/collections/autumn-2016/products/wool-tiger-shawl?variant=20331964421) ($275) and cashmere hand-dyed [Tri-Colore](https://i-pezzi-dipinti.myshopify.com/collections/autumn-2016/products/tricolore-shawl-1) scarf ($970, shown) are as delicious as wool gets.

Salvatore Ferragamo
05
Salvatore Ferragamo Psychedelic Sweater
Give this groovy, hallucinogenic knit to the most far-out man (or woman) you know. The cashmere Ferragamo [turtleneck](http://store.ferragamo.com/) ($1,290) has op-art graphics that will keep your hep cat warm without making them look like Ned Flanders.
Jim Goldberg
06
Raised by Wolves
Any rebel worth his salt needs this cult-classic tome. Photographer Jim Goldberg’s unsparing portraits of teenage runaways in San Francisco and Los Angeles from the late '80s and early '90s helped define the aesthetic and disaffected posture of the decade. The original publication from 1995 is a rare find, so in typical motley fashion, the artist issued this [bootleg](http://jimgoldberg.com/) photocopied edition ($100).

Nike
07
Nike x Pendleton
This [Nike iD](http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pw/pendleton/opf?cp=usns_kw_nike_null_txt!g!c!br!b!%2Bhuarache%20%2Bpendleton&k_clickid=0e8066b3-0c2e-4ffc-b97f-41cd64d425f5) collab ($135-190) is coming in hot, literally, and winter ready. Three sneaker styles are customizable in six Pendleton wools (yes, from the sixth generation family-owned Pacific Northwest brand). Perfect for the anti-hero who loves sport. Or maybe just arch support, say for working at the Farmer’s Market all day.
Harwell Godfrey
08
Harwell Godfrey Jewelry
These handcrafted leather [talismans](http://harwellgodfrey.com) will send any Earth goddess into galactic bliss. California designer Lauren Godfrey starts each necklace with a formidable semi-precious stone—each of which vibrates at a particular frequency (sure?) for targeted healing vibes. The tiger’s eye shown here ($1,095) activates the intellect. Heft and outsized proportions give this gift major gravitas.

Sleepy Jones
09
Wes Lang Boxers
Los Angeles artist Wes Lang teamed up with Sleepy Jones (Andy Spade’s new pajama brand) to create these tattoo flash [boxers](http://shop.sleepyjones.com/collections/artist-editions-wes-lang) ($29) bad enough to crush any tough guy’s heart.
Dharma Trading Co.
10
Indigo Kit
Shibori is an important word in the lexicon of the heritage-ati. The traditional Japanese tie-dye form uses age-old techniques for folding, binding, and dyeing fabric—most commonly with indigo—to fantastic effect. This [dye kit](http://www.dharmatrading.com/kits/starter/sets/indigo-dye-kit.html) ($7.64) comes with the plant-derived indigo dye (which is what makes jeans blue), tools, and instructions for a vat of *wabi sabi* fun times.

Living Libations
11
Living Libations
You know that inner glow… The kind that makes you want to hit Soul Cycle, mainline coconut water, sleep 12 hours a night, go vegan, and repeat? This is a short cut. The cold-pressed organic (wild grown!) plant-derived cleansers and moisturizers this Canadian company produces are like a deep drink for one’s complexion. Seabuckthorn [Best Skin Ever](http://www.livinglibations.com/default/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?name=best+skin+ever) ($30) is the classic, and the radiance is real—but the garden is full of olfactory and sensory pleasures.
Moncler
12
Moncler ML0004 Sunglasses
Remember when being a ski bum was the height of cool? (Cue *Better Off Dead.*) Norweigian [sweater](http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/60845?feat=502821-plalander), zinc sunblock, mirrored shades, low ponytail? If you didn’t go to school in Vermont, you can still live the dream. The 64-year-old French mountaineering brand Moncler just debuted its first eyewear collection. These high-altitude aerodynamic [goggles](http://www.moncler.com/gb/storeslocator/?_ga=1.236549191.735269834.1480642848) with leather temple protectors ($350) hit the height of gnar.

Doen
13
Doen Manzanita Blouse
We first discovered this indie line of achingly perfect but totally effortless basics on [Glossier’s Emily Weiss](https://www.wired.com/2016/09/emily-weiss-glossier/). Was it vintage? No. It was Doen. This Indian-printed silk peasant [blouse](https://shopdoen.com/collections/tops/products/manzanita-top-black) ($198) is heaven off the shoulder with jeans. Or pair with a black turtleneck and high-waisted black pants for that '70s vibe. Slay at the Tannenbaum trimming while channeling Loulou de la Falaise, the original eclectic bohemian aristocrat.
Captain Blankenship
14
Mermaid Hair Care Set
This [trio of wild organic beauty products](http://captainblankenship.com/products/mermaid-hair-care-set) ($75) will lull the tresses of any merman or maid into a state of unkempt perfection. Mermaid hair oil, sea salt spray, and dry shampoo will replenish, shine, and add waves—all with an intoxicating coastal scent cocktail of cedarwood, rose, salt, and pine.
