STEVEN ALAN
• I’m a big fan of anything by Filson, and I’m also feeling backpacks these days—so much easier on the body than a shoulder bag—making this rucksack a gimme ($175).
• I was admiring this Filson coat, but also complaining that it’s made for someone with a belly (or at least a bigger belly than mine), and the salesclerk told me that Filson will custom-make it for only 25% more than the retail price (which is $335).
• APC scarf ($118)
• I don’t like incense, but that may be because I’ve never smelled balsam fir incense ($8).
• Elegant gift wrap.

BU AND THE DUCK

• If your kid can rock these silver shoes, good luck to you.
• Flower hair ornaments ($12–$15 each).
