Gift guide from Oak Studios

‘Tis the most wine-derful time of the year!

We created this gift guide so you can focus on merrymaking this holiday season.

If you’re in an open office like ours, your choice of headphones becomes a divisive topic for even the mildest mannered team. Keep your terrible music taste to yourself without compromising on quality with these Jabra Elite True Wireless Earbuds.
While not the most glamorous of gifts, backing your stuff up is everything. Make it easy to practice good digital health with a 2TB My Passport SSD Portable Storage.
Relive the glory days of 90’s gaming with a Sega Dreamcast available on eBay. You’ll want the Sonic Adventure game too.

Add a bit of joy to anything that brings you down with these huge googly eyes. They’re too big to fit on our Roomba but might be a good idea to give our fridge a new level of personality.
This tall terrazzo vase gives peak 2018 vibes. Stuff it with flowers, twigs, or all the random wires that you’re mostly sure that you no longer need.
Get plants delivered to your doorstep with a subscription from The Sill. Perfect for those with green thumbs, and those with aspirations to one day keep a humble Pothos alive.
Carry your googly eyes, plants, and vase around in this 26-liter backpack. It’s water-resistant, roomy and made in Italy, so you should feel sufficiently stylish.
Celebrate your love for staying home with an embroidery from Oak’s very own Jojo Giltsoff.

Read the book behind the Netflix sensation Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat. Bound to make you hungry and maybe even a better cook.
Delight the type or film nerds in your life with Typeset in the Future by Dave Addey - it explores design and typography in all your favorite science fiction flicks. Get a feel for the book with some deep dives into the likes of WALL·E and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Remind the people in your life that there’s life outside their iPhone with Robin Sloane’s Sourdough. A fast-paced, quirky novel that rallies against soylent with robots and a simple sourdough starter. Think Silicon Valley meets Chef’s Table.
Emily St John Mandel’s Station Eleven is a great gift for anyone, but in particular, the technology obsessed. The novel follows a cast of characters living through a flu-like apocalypse; and what happens when life as we know it is gone in a matter of days.

Happy Holidays from the Oak team!
