Conceived of by an automotive engineer in California and a bicycle designer in Milan, Volata Bicycles combine the best high tech features that Silicon Valley has to offer with the best high end design out of Italy. Each Volata bicycle is as smart as it is functional and gorgeous thanks to the combination of the following features. Bluetooth smart computer with smartphone notifications and a built-in screen. Belt drive transmission with 11 speed Shimano Alfine internal gear hub. Handlebar joysticks and fully integrated computer controls. Built-in GPS tracking. Light sensitive automatic lights and a 96db electronic horn. 7005 alloy aluminum frame with internal cables. Carbon fiber fork. Hydraulic disc brakes. It even has an anti-theft system with motion detection and remote control. This bike is more technologically advanced than early smartphones and far more pleasing to look at.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
