Cove Headset from Cove
There’s no time like the present to invest in tomorrow, which means taking control of your health today. The Cove headset and companion IOS app are a great way to track your health and improve your body’s regeneration through sleep and relaxation. Cove is a wearable technology that uses gentle vibrations to mimic human touch, providing feelings of calm so the body and mind function at the highest and most efficient level. It activates our “seventh sense” of interoception (the perception of sensations from inside the body) that enables us to detect our body’s internal needs and regulate them accordingly. Being in tune with your body helps improve your efficiency during the day, as well as relaxation and renewal at night. This results in better sleep, less stress and the ability to be more resilient and adaptable in life, including an advanced ability to handle emotions. Backed by scientific studies and research from Brown University and Harvard Medical School, Cove strengthens users’ mental health after each session. Cove comes equipped with a best-in-class PPG heart rate sensor and a 3D accelerometer. Weighing only 20 grams, Cove sits comfortably behind your ears and uses dual-mode Bluetooth 4.2 to pair wirelessly with your phone. You can even complete four sessions without having to recharge your Cove. The device has an 85 mAh capacity and can be fully charged in 60-80 mins.

Blue Planet Watch by CIGA Design
An exquisitely designed watch, the Blue Planet watch from CIGA Design is centered around our collective home: planet Earth. Richly depicting crisp oceans, sprawling mountains and pristine land, the intricate design of this award-winning timepiece is complemented by a curved sapphire glass dome that reveals every detail on the dial, perfectly illustrating the planet’s atmosphere and the protection it provides. To fully appreciate the Series U Blue Planet mechanical watch, CIGA Design has notably transformed the conventional way of telling time. The compass rose featured on the watch’s face acts as a pointer to the two orbiting rings to give a reading of the hour and minute. This simple, innovative way of telling time allows the wearer to fully appreciate the unique aesthetic and function of the Blue Planet watch, which also serves as a reminder of how we should appreciate and protect the Earth. In fact, CIGA Design has collaborated with the Earth Day Organization (EDO) to launch a special edition gift box to put environmental protection into action. It combines the watch and EDO’s “Protect our Blue Earth”-themed pendant using environmentally friendly decoration. The watch features a “World Earth Day” limited-edition logo on the bottom cap that uses environment-friendly screen printing, while the Blue Planet’s case is made of more expensive and eco-conscious recycled titanium material to help to reduce carbon pollution.

“Fraser” Men’s Sneaker from Woolloomooloo
Designed and knitted meticulously to bring effortless versatility to your feet, the Fraser sneaker from Woolloomooloo makes the perfect sock-less shoe. Woolloomooloo takes athleisure to a whole new level of comfort with its knitted Australian merino wool upper, wool-lined footbed and signature elastic lace system. The company is committed to spinning the finest wool product to create the world’s premier wool sneakers—utilizing sustainable materials to build footwear that is better for your feet and the planet. While wool has been used in footwear for years, it’s mostly used as a filtered or boiled product, which has its limitations. Woolloomooloo’s knitted wool, however, brings out the natural elasticity and ultimate breathability throughout its flock of year-round shoes. Its choice of Merino wool works to insulate your skin from the cold environment by trapping heat within the structure, while amazingly transferring moisture away from the skin when temperatures start to rise. As a hygroscopic fiber, wool readily absorbs moisture (up to 35% of its own weight) to keep feet dry and prevent the build-up of sweat and bacteria. This eliminates unpleasant odors but, when your kicks need a touch-up, they are machine-washable to keep them looking and smelling brand new. Woolloomooloo’s Fraser design is made with a recycled EVA, an all-terrain outsole, and provides maximum flexibility and grip for those who sometimes find themselves off the beaten track. They come in seven shades, including green, sand, sand camo, blue multi, red multi, black multi and graphite.
