Highsnobiety

To say the very least, 2020 has been a trying year. This anxiety-ridden annum reached its climax (so far) on November 3 when we all refreshed our phones for several days awaiting news of who would lead America for the next four years. While it was a #settleforBiden silver lining on a grim year, eventually, it got us thinking about how important it is to just drop off the grid sometimes. With scroll fatigue widespread, a digital detox is in order.

Instead of constantly checking our emails or how many likes our most recent fit pic got, we’re looking to go incognito for a while in the run-up to the holiday season. That task can be made much easier with a handful of tools, and we've selected products for digital detoxing, both at home and outdoors.

In preparation, we’ve rounded up the off-the-grid essentials that will help you on your wellbeing way. So stock up and disappear.

Keep scrolling for the best items to take a digital detox in style.

When we say off-grid, we mean fully off-grid. Don’t even let your friends see what you’re listening to with this Crosley turntable and speaker combo. Of course, you’ll need to cop some vinyl, too, but that’s a whole different can of worms.

Analog fun is a thing, by the way. Without any need for a screen, you can get lost in this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle and also learn a fair amount about wildflower specimens while you’re at it.

$200
Buy at Luisaviaroma

Sometimes the best way to get disconnected is to just switch off and get a long sleep or just spend a few hours dozing on the sofa. Tekla should help with that. The Pure New Wool Throw is minimal, beautiful, and ridiculously comfortable

Going off-grid doesn’t just mean switching off the electronics though, it also means a sort of personal debrief. Take some time off to reflect and just relax. Setting the vibe with this P.F. Candle Co. No. 11 is easy thanks to a lavender and moss scent that takes you straight into nature.

Cam Honan The Hidden Tracks

Getting out into nature is a nice idea, but if you’re not prepped it can quickly turn into a nightmare. Rains’ 100% waterproof fisherman’s jackets are a good place to start, because staying dry is the number one priority — haven’t you ever seen Bear Grylls?
