Still need to buy some gifts?

This week we're taking a break from our normally scheduled programming to send you some of our favorite physical gifts.

You see, last weekend the Sumo team did it big.

We had our annual holiday bash where we celebrated an amazing year, indulged in a variety of libations, and exchanged gifts that fell under the theme “things we can’t live without”.

(Unsurprisingly, kitchen and bathroom accessories were prominently featured.)

Not wanting to keep these shhweet gifts to ourselves, we're sharing some of them (plus a few bonuses) with our procrastinating Sumo-lings.

So if you’re looking to get that special someone a Sumo-Approved gift, look no further:

Ninja Bullet

You like muscles, yes?

You hate dishes, right?

Then why don’t you have a Ninja Bullet?

Blend and drink from the same glass! Add your favorite protein powder, some full-fat coconut milk, a dash of cinnamon, and drink up you thirsty hedgehog!

Mixologist Kit

“I’m always unimpressed when someone mixes up an amazing cocktail”, said no one ever.

Take your holiday parties to the upper echelon with this mixology kit. And for that added hipster-bartender vibe: throw on thrift-store suspenders, an ironic bow tie, and twist up the ends of your rugged yet well-groomed mustache.

Perfect for that special drinker in your life.

Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Continuing the theme of being a beast in the kitchen, I give you the Cast Iron Dutch Oven (No Stan, not that dutch oven).

If you want one piece of kitchenware that will:

...then grab this now.

Making a roast chicken? Throw some veggies on the bottom, chicken on top, olive oil all over, and pop that clucker in the oven.

How ‘bout a thick bowl of chili? Toss in ground beef + veggies + tomato sauce + spices and let it simmer for a solid 45.

Impressing an evening guest? Thick-cut steak + butter + salt and pepper = a happy night.

Electric Kettle

This isn’t the 1800’s, so why are you still boiling water like some type of uncivilized rogue cowboy?

It’s time for a more refined approach to the subtle art of making water hot.

This kettle lets you choose the exact temperature for your warm delicacy.

Green tea? 175F degrees.

Freshly ground Ethiopian coffee? 200F is perfect.

It also holds the temperature an hour, so no more worrying about leaving the stove unattended.

Kershaw Blur Pocket Knife

Having a bottle-opener is cool.

Know what’s even cooler?

Being the person who has a blade ready at a moment's notice to cut through packing tape, hack through a seatbelt, or finely dice fresh rosemary sprigs for a perfectly seasoned ribeye.

Sleek design, perfect for EDC, always ready for deployment.

NeuTab Virtual Reality Headset

Don’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on some fancy VR setup?

Use the NeuTab to turn your smartphone into the VR viewer with this simple and cool headset.

Selected by the Chief Sumo himself, you know this won’t disappoint.

KeyCatch

You know how you hate losing your keys? So does everyone else.

That’s why you need to pick up KeyCatch.

(Installation time: 45 seconds)

Kindle Paperwhite

I’ll admit, I can often be a grouch when it comes to e-readers. Nothing beats the feel of a real book.

But even I’ll confess to the awesomeness of the Kindle Paperwhite.

Why is it so dope?

Plus, it’s a hell of a lot easier carrying a Kindle in your pocket than a backpack full of books.

And my favorite feature of all: The ability to highlight throughout the book and then export your notes! Why spend 10+ hours reading a book only to forget everything after you finish?

The Kindle Paperwhite is hands down the best e-reader available (the Voyage and Oasis aren't worth the upgrade).

If you’re in search for a beautiful gift for a nerdy bookworm, this might be just what you’re looking for.

GoRuck GR1 Backpack

I’m a backpack fanatic.

Normally, I’m picking up a new pack every few months.

You know the drill: Straps break. Zippers fail. Fabric rips.

But for the past two years I’ve been in a solid long-term relationship with the GoRuck GR1 and we’ve been very happy together (I’m sorry, L.L. Bean, but I’ve moved on).

Designed by former Green Berets. Build for use in combat. Tested on the field of battle. So it’s been more than capable for accompanying me to the gym, coffee shops, and occasional obstacle course challenges.

Squatty Potty + IllumiBowl

Trying to take your toilet game to the major leagues?

We’ve got you covered.

The squatty potty embraces the time-honored tradition of tucking your butt to your ankles while... exporting.

Team Sumo loves it so much, we bought two for the office!

And the IllumiBowl lets you light up your toilet bowl for those late-night potty trips when turning on the lights is too much hassle.

Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

I love going to the gym, sitting in the sauna, and then taking a cold shower.

The problem?

I’m usually knee-deep in a podcast by the end of the sauna session and then have to pause for the shower.

That is until I learned about these waterproof speakers! #ProblemSolved

Perfect for the music/podcast junkie on your shopping list.

Tortilla Press

Sometimes you just don’t have the energy to put on pants.

For those days, make your tacos at home with this cast iron (yup, it’s dope) tortilla press.

That’s all for now folks!

Kisses and tacos,
