Daniel Patrick Giles’s Favorite Things

“The name is a little naughty, but this caffeine-free tea for children tastes so good. It’s cacao, vanilla, and rooibos.”

“I’m a sucker for a beanie, and the red, white, and blue tag.”

“Elite mouthwash. Must dilute.”

“I’m typeface-forward. It holds my laptop and samples of what we’re working on next.”

“The dinner party trick that gets everyone talking about high school (and how happy we are to be far away from it).”

“To dust off my wardrobe when I arrive in Palm Springs for the weekend.”

“Keeps my skin in check. Live in fear of running out.”

“I won’t tell you how many sweatshirts I own, but I can confidently say this is the fanciest.”

“Don’t sleep on the medium size. Yes, you have to check it, but it’s proportionate perfection.”

“This gourmand is for galas and grocery shopping.”

“If someone’s cooking for me, I’m ordering a bottle with a film quote to be inscribed on the label.”

“This book introduced me to the idea that we live in an Osmocosm, a universe of smell. It’s one of the things that inspired me to create Perfumehead.”
