Issue #23: Clock’s ticking on Holiday
Plus a Verticale Swag giveaway

Howdy! Somehow it’s already the second to last Wednesday of 2023. If you’ve procrastinated buying your [best friend’s sister’s boyfriend's] gift, we’ve got you 😮💨

Conscious Things to Obsess Over
🦖 COP28 happened. The good news? Say buh-bye to fossil fuels
🎄 Hit the pavement. Do some last min shopping at some killer xmas markets (you can find me at Union Sq’s)
🍸The gift for anyone hard against a dry January
🐠 Here’s an icebreaker for your holiday dinner party circuit: a lab in the UAE is building back our coral reefs
Quirky 🤝 decor-obsessed 🤝 last min gift card
👖 No need to thank their mom for these good jeans
🛒 A gift card for your friend that loves farmers markets or shopping in New Jersey
🕯 A hyperspecific candle that we burn through in the bathroom
Things to Win: Verticale Swag ⚡️

Consciously Cool. Need a serotonin boost from still having to work in office even though December is basically a write-off? Then our previously sold-out lime-y sweatshirt is the cozy salve to the holiday season– especially when it’s free.
To mark the New Year, we’re giving away 10 sweaters to the first people who reply to this email saying “I am consciously cool.” Just think, you could do this instead of responding to your slack channel.
