Holiday Gear Guide: Stocking Stuffers
Dec 12 2006 / Los Angeles, CA
Big Pimpin’Buttons, a name like that could either belong to an adorable stuffed animal or one bad ass pimp! Quiksilver was a fan of the pimp comparison and designed these ridiculously cool glasses. The Buttons sunglasses are a retro style and inspired by 70’s ski sunglasses. This style has been worn by the likes of Jonny Knoxville and Kanye West (bad ass pimps at their finest)
Available in black/red, blue, and maroon; are a cool $75. Get more information at Quiksilver.com>

Get your burn on in style (when we say burn we mean nice things like scented candles, incense, and camp fires.) Burton’s lighter case slips right over your own lighter, and slips off when it’s your lighter needs to be replaced.
