At Shinola, we are investing in skill at scale and believe in the preservation of craft. That’s why this holiday we encourage you to give the gift of quality. #GiveQuality
We asked 20 of our store teams to pick out their favorite gifts of the season to help you find the presents you’ll need for everyone on your list. Stop into any of our stores and a sales associate will be more than happy to make sure your shopping experience is as easy as pie, or ask a customer service representative if shopping online.

Canfield Chrono Watch: Our flagship store is located on Canfield Street in Midtown Detroit, so it comes as no surprise that this store chose the watch named after the street it calls home. The Canfield Chrono watch has been one of our top styles since it launched this past summer — it’s perfect for the guy or girl who wants a statement piece, but it’s also classic enough to wear every day.

The Cass with Diamonds 28mm: Miami, known for its sunny shores, is also a destination for contemporary art and vibrant nightlife. The Cass with Diamonds is the perfect accessory for a day at the Pérez Art Museum to dinner at the glamorous El Tucan supper club. Petite in size, but bold by design, The Cass is our first take on an elegant square shape. The PVD gold case features 78 brilliant cut VS1 diamonds, set with the utmost care and precision to ensure maximum sparkle.

Mini Shopper Tote: The Mini Shopper Tote is our Palo Alto team’s favorite item made with our signature leather in the color of the season: blush. Two interior pockets and a key fob keep your cell phone and accessories at hand, while the spacious, unlined main compartment can hold a make-up bag, iPad or small laptop. This versatile tote can be worn over the shoulder with the detachable leather strap or carried by the top handles. (Runwell 41mm also pictured above)

The Runwell Sport Chrono 48mm: Our Boston team has nicknamed this watch the Green Monster in honor of the left field wall at Fenway Park (home to the Boston Red Sox baseball team) due to the dark green turning top ring bezel. The Runwell Sport Chrono comes with a solid titanium case and is our first titanium watch to have a leather strap. This particular style comes as a gift set with two additional watch straps. Features of the watch itself include an increased 20 ATM depth rating, double-curve sapphire crystal, Super LumiNova printed dial details, 3 eye chrono, and screw down crown.

The Runwell 47mm: Before Shinola opened its movement factory and headquarters in Detroit, we were busy at work in Plano, Texas designing this watch. Though our design team has since moved to Detroit, this classic Shinola style is still a favorite for our Plano store team. Two hands and remote secondhand sweep are driven by Shinola’s Argonite 1069 high-accuracy quartz movement. From the laser-etched case back to the etched lightning bolt on the buckle, every detail of The Runwell has been engineered with an obsessive focus on detail to ensure the highest possible quality.

The Shirley Fromer watch from Gomelsky Collection: When developing the world of Gomelsky, we enlisted the help of NYC-based illustrator Joana Avillez to illustrate a fictional woman, Gomelsky, who embodied all the characteristics of this new collection. Our Tribeca team recommends this watch for its statement-making malachite and sandstone dial that comes surrounded by 56 diamonds and a polished stainless steel case.

The Bixby Bicycle: The majority of our Waikiki staff ride their bikes to work, so it made perfect sense to include The Bixby cruiser bike as their gift of the season. Offered in both a classic men’s and women’s frame design, the American-made steel frame will give you a stylish, smooth, efficient ride.
