FOR A DEPARTURE FROM THE TRADITIONAL, DIG INTO THIS FESTIVE SACK OF WONDROUSLY UNUSUAL AND UNCONVENTIONAL HOLIDAY OFFERINGS, FROM THE WORLD’S LIGHTEST MECHANICAL WATCH TO A LUXE HEIRLOOM GAME PIECE
BY TIA KIM
VOLLEBAK INDESTRUCTIBLE BELT
For the outdoorsmen and adventuristas, this strapping number is billed as indestructible, made from the strongest fiber known to mankind, Dyneema (for reference, it’s 15 times stronger than steel). The buckle houses a patented locking mechanism that’s impossible to release under tension. Need proof? It survived a supersonic free fall from space. $395
BELVEDERE 10 VODKA
Housed in a sculptural, diamond shaped bottle that doubles as bar décor, this newly released expression from Belvedere is a single-estate sipper that’s lauded as the vodka super brand’s best work since its founding in 1910. A year after it’s planted, Dankowskie Diamond Rye is harvested from the Bartezek estate in Poland then distilled four times in column stills, filtered through cellulose, and left to rest for ten months in steel vats. The bottle hides a gilded Easter egg: remove the top to reveal a gold ring, etched with the Belvedere name. $150
MING LW.01 ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT WATCH
Meet the world’s lightest mechanical timepiece, weighing in at 8.8 grams for manual movement (10.8 grams for the automatic). The modern marvel is crafted from an ultra-lightweight (but sturdy) alloy to shed grams without sacrificing style. Noticeably missing is a dial; to save weight, Ming eliminated a traditional dial and etched a gradient print onto the crystal’s surface to mask the movement. Only 200 iterations will be made. $21,150
GEARBOX TRANSPARENT TURNTABLE
A gift for audiophiles and gearheads alike, this plug-and-play table features a compact, transparent design that showcases the magic behind the scenes. This latest iteration added a slate of upgrades for better performance and speed stability, and it also includes a wireless transmitter that allows listeners to stream vinyl songs to Bluetooth speakers. Clever on-board music recognition tech can identify and send tracks from your record collection straight to your Spotify playlist. $545
EVO BLP-1 BLACK PANTHER SONIC TOUCHSCREEN TOOTHBRUSH
Bring the wonderful fantasy world of Wakanda into your home bathroom with this Black Panther-inspired electric toothbrush set. Beyond its striking purple-and-black exterior, the BLP-1 is a feat of tech innovation, featuring a crisp LCD touchscreen display that lets users choose between five different brushing modes and four intensity levels. It also boasts automatic pressure protection, a built-in brush tracker, and a motor that delivers no fewer than 40,000 vibrations per minute. $100
BENTLEY BENTAYGA 12V KIDS CAR
Every sharp-dressed kid needs a sweet ride to match; enter this ride-on Bentley, a kids’ version of the ultra-luxurious Bentayga SUV.

It can cruise up to 3 mph with a total driving time of 45-60 minutes. $700

This handsome gaming set houses all the classics from chess, checkers, and backgammon to cribbage, dominoes, and poker – in a rich, walnut case that you won’t want to hide in a drawer. The pieces are also crafted from high-end materials, including solid wood, resin, and maple, and can be easily stashed in a built-in storage cabinet. $399
