Mad Men Birchbox
It’s the beginning of the end of Mad Men in just over a week, and Birchbox is cashing in with a package inspired by the show. New subscribers to the monthly toiletry curation and delivery service will receive a period-inspired box; along with basics like shaving cream, razors and aftershave, each box may include a pair of boxer briefs, body wash, cologne or lotion. No commemorative pack of Lucky Strikes, though. $20/month
Interior Define Furniture
They don’t have paisleys, but Interior Define’s distinctly modern sofas would be all too appropriate for a Mad Men viewing party. The company’s furniture is made to order, and like the new crop of mattress manufacturers, costs are reduced at a rate of nearly 50 percent by selling direct to consumers online. interiordefine.com
McIntosh C22 Preamp
Further down the retro rabbit hole is McIntosh Laboratory, a lauded manufacturer of audio equipment since 1949. Their newly revamped C22 preamp, despite its throwback style, delivers sound at a 0.08 percent ultra low distortion rate across 10 input channels (8 stereo inputs, 2 phono; 6 unbalanced, 4 balanced) and at an impedance of 20K ohms. It’s a fine addition to any home audio setup, retro or modern. mcintoshlabs.com
