'Hipster Appliances' is a site dedicated to suggesting the best hipster gifts. The site was created by Studio Akko and curated bi-weekly with a new range of hipster-worthy products.
Categories include dining, amusement and home furnishings, with a delightful range of all things nostalgic and slightly tongue-in-cheek. Items in the store include everything from mint-colored retro roller skates to hanging solar dehydrators and rugged beard conditioners.
The products are designed for "exceptionally particular people." To spell out just what gives a product that perfect blend of hipster credibility, Studio Akko put together a comprehensive chart to spell it out. The mix consists of a combination of rustic charm, irony and mimicry. Although you may be choosing to buy a gift for a person with picky tastes, this makes the process much easier.
