New & Noteworthy Releases
Ranger Station Candles
As the days get colder and darker, the comforts of home become hard to beat. The little things make all the difference; for instance, a good candle can add a warm glow and welcome scent to any room. Nashville-based Ranger Station makes a range of soy wax candles that fit the bill. The candles are hand poured into heavy glass tumblers, designed to double as whiskey glasses once the wax is burned. Scents include Oakmoss, Balsam Fir and Santalum, among others, and the candles will burn for at least 40 hours. They cost $36 a piece, a worthy investment to step up the ambiance of any room (and eventually live by your bar cart). Not ready to pull the trigger? Ranger Station just added a try at home program: buy 4 tealights for $12 and the kit comes with a $12 credit. Get free shipping now when you use the code GPFREESHIP at checkout.

Dakine Eric Pollard Team Heli Pro Backpack
Like any action sports brand, Dakine supports a team of athletes who push their sports to the limits every season.

The Team Heli Pro backpack is one of those products; designed with professional skier, artist and filmmaker Eric Pollard, the pack is built to carry everything needed for a day of backcountry skiing or snowboarding, but unlike many technical bags, it looks good enough to sport around town, too. — Tanner Bowden
