Take a deep breath and take a load off, for what it’s worth the year is over. Spotify has wrapped, holiday party season is in full swing, anything left on your to-do list can wait. Here are some recommendations to keep you entertained while you settle in for a (hopefully not too) long winter.

Become an at-home bartender

There’s never been a better time to expand your home bar’s horizons. Indie distilleries are popping up everywhere and women are taking over the game. If you’re looking for a place to start, Catskill Provisions has all your core spirits with a twist and top notch cocktail recipes to match.

Return to Beatle Mania

The new Beatles docuseries, Get Back, whisks you back to a time of pure and internet-free standom, but if just a few episodes aren’t enough we’ve got more. Keep enjoying the ride with a nostalgic read for that confusing week between Christmas and New Years. Dreaming of the Beatles is a book of essays by journalist and notorious pop music ally Rob Scheffield and it’ll hit the spot.

Support people who give

We wanted to take a quick moment to thank Thrive Market for including us in their 12 Days of Giving contest. Last year, in 2020, they gave a $1,000 to 10 deserving families. This year, they wanted to do even more, so they brought us along with a few other brands to spread groceries, gifts, and cheer to essential workers, first responders, and their families, for a full 12 days. We’re proud to be able to contribute to such a great cause — if you’re in the market for great food, check them out.
