You Shouldn’t Have! Save yourself the panicstricken hours jumping from mall to mall this season and let Avenue Gift Guide point you in the direction of gifts worth giving. We’ve scoured the city and come back with stuff for foodies, geeks, design junkies and exercise freaks that should please all budgets. We can’t actually buy the gifts for you, but we can make finding them that much easier. And if you decide to keep some of it for yourself, we promise we won’t tell.

The Good Design Store
Cutboy
When Bangkok’s home chefs want to stock up on Le Creuset casserole dishes, Kitchen Aid mixers and Dualit toasters, they come here. You’ll also find beautiful napkins, cutlery, pastry molds and other knickknacks that make for perfect gifts.
Beautifully minimal kitchenware as approved by the Japan Institute for Design Promotion makes up the bulk of goods at this gallery-like boutique. Grab pure cedarwood tea canisters, baristaapproved Hario drip coffee makers and black stainless steel kitchen utensils.
Bangkok’s chef community (Gaggan, Nahm, Bo.lan, Quince) have been getting their knives from Cutboy for years. If you’re new to high-end kitchen knives, owner Akarapong Cheewaphanyaroj will guide you through more than 50 different styles (starting from B3,600).

ALL EARS The best earbuds for all budgets
Bose Quietcomfort 20 (B13,500)
Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear (B4,190)
Yurbuds Inspire 400 (B1,790)
The good: Unlike many noise-canceling headphones, these provide solid sound quality and are very comfortable to wear.
The good: They look really sleek and sit comfortably in our ears. Sound is clear and strong—the best we found in this price point.
The bad: Very pricey. The noise cancelation, although helpful in loud environments, isn’t as good as its competitors.
The bad: A little too much bass and treble.
The good: They fit comfortably in your ears without falling out, and come with tangle-free magnets to help you wear and store them easily. Bass response is pretty decent.
The verdict: If you don’t mind spending the big bucks, this is perfect. Available at: Bose Concept Store, 4/F, Central Embassy, Phloen Chit Rd., 02-160-5651-4. Open daily 10am-10pm. BTS Phloen Chit
The verdict: The price is amazing for what you get: decent sound quality for most music, and high-end style. Available at: Sennheiser stores nationwide, try Sound Proof Bros, 5/F, MBK Center, Phayathai Rd., 081-987-2071. BTS National Stadium
The bad: The sound gets a bit distorted at higher volumes. The verdict: For only B1,790 you get great comfort and acceptable sound. Available at: Hear By Munkonggadget, 2/F, Siam Paragon, Rama 1 Rd., 02-610-9982. Open daily 10am-10pm. BTS Siam. www. munkonggadget.com

PUMPED UP KICKS Check out these new kicks for the sneaker geek in your life
Adidas x White Mountaineering Tubular Nova
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Rubber HI
Nike Roshe Two (Men) 400
Vans Varsity SK8-Hi Reissue
Price: B3,800
Price: B3,300
Price: B6,490
Price: B4,400
Adidas worked with the Japanese brand White Mountaineering to create this line of sneakers with a heather-like finish. Cool to look at, comfy to walk in.
The regular Chuck Taylor gets a translucent rubber coating so our feet don’t get wet in the rain. The Nike Lunarlon insole cushioning and a microsuede lining mean they’re super-soft, too.
This time, Vans classic hi-tops go down the men’s vintage route, mixing leather and fabric. Quite proper and neat, these shoes could even go with a suit and tie.
Adidas Originals Concept Store, 1/F, Siam Center, Rama 1 Rd. BTS Siam
1/F, Siam Discovery, Rama 1 Rd. BTS Siam
Roshe Ones are the Nikes which made us all rethink our wardrobes. Now, the Roshe Twos are here, making us switch things up again. This time around, the in-trend sock-like look and marshmallow sole remain, but they look more structured at the front.

CAPTURE THE MOMENT Best action cameras for under B12,000
Drift HD Ghost (from B11,990)
GoPro Hero+ LCD (from B10,999)
SJCam SJ5000X Elite (from B4,490)
The bullet shape makes it perfect for POV mounting on your helmet or on the side of your goggles, while Wi-Fi connectivity lets you change settings, play back videos and start or stop recording from your phone. It also comes with an LCD screen and a built-in microphone, but you can choose to plug in an external mic for better audio, too. Records in both MP4 and MOV formats up to 1080p for three hours continuously. The camera itself is waterproof up to around 3m, too. Available at www.sjcamthailand.com.
Even this entry-level GoPro comes with perks you typically do not get from competitors, such as being waterproof up to 40 meters, free GoPro Studio editing software, and a nice, large LCD touchscreen with easy navigation on top of the 8MP camera and the HD 1080p video. Drawbacks? The battery is non-removable though it promises longer battery life than most. Available at Power Buy nationwide.
Shoots 4K video at only half the price of other 4K cameras. The resolution is 12MP, which is not as high as some other models, but still very good. Using your smartphone, you can easily control the SJ5000X Elite—record, play back and share your videos and photos, or even do some minor editing using the SJCam Zone app. The camera also comes with slow-motion and time-lapse functions, and while the camera itself is not waterproof, waterproof housing is available. Available at Power Buy nationwide.

EVIAN
ADVERTORIAL
A CELEBRATION OF
CREATIVITY AND LIFE Christian Lacroix is a living legend of Paris haute couture. His fashion house, founded in 1987, heralded a baroque, Southern European style that shook up the style capital. Its emblem, the Paseo, is a unique motif that evokes the delicate embroidery of 18th century dresses. And it was with this symbol of French excellence and elegance that evian® chose to launch its first designer bottle 10 years ago. Today, evian® is still committed to celebrating the world’s greatest design talents with every festive season. Karl Lagerfeld, Kenzo, Alexander Wang and Issey Miyake are among the nine designers to have walked in Lacroix’s footsteps, creating bold, ephemeral designs to grace evian®’s water bottles for the year-end. It was fitting that evian®’s designer bottles would celebrate their 10th anniversary with Christian Lacroix and his iconic Paseo motif. Flamboyant, quintessentially French and with an everyoung attitude, evian® and Christian Lacroix share the same spirit. evian® mineral water travels for 15 years through the French Alps before being bottled at the source. Look out for the evian® x Lacroix bottles at all leading supermarkets. The facial spray can be found exclusively at Eve & Boy.
The evian® Christian Lacroix water bottle can be purchased at all leading Bangkok supermarkets. The facial spray can be found exclusively at Eve & Boy.
