In Miami, beachgoers are art lovers, and art lovers are beachgoers. Here, then, is the perfect gift for both of their sides: a limited-edition terrycloth beach towel with prints from contemporary artists like Peter Doig and Yoshitomo Nara. Bonus: they're big enough for two.
Whether or not you've woken up on the floor of the Versace mansion, you'll appreciate this tome, which chronicles the power players that make this city the fascinating, seedy beast that it is. Posner leaves no bold-faced name unscathed, including nightlife's Michael Capponi, real estate's Jorge Perez and playboy Thomas Kramer. (Hint: there are sex parties.)
This present is a lot like a coffee-shop gift card…except so much better. Slip the card into one of the futuristic wine-dispensing machines at Eno's, and your friend can choose from two to six ounces of 64 different bottles of wine, from Australian syrahs to French cabs.
If you crossed Senor Frog's with Mrs. Field's, you'd get these: lime shortbread cookies topped with tequila glaze and Hawaiian sea salt. Nothing livens up a holiday party like a batch of liquor-spiked baked goods…
On any given night, this downtown oyster heaven has half a dozen different types of bivalves—from Kumamotos from Northern California to plump, briny nubbins from Massachusetts. We recommend bestowing this gift to someone who will bring you along for the ride.
