  2006 COVET GUIDE

  I can’t decide whether this bag says, “I am an aesthete who has nothing to hide,” or, “My disturbingly neat packing suggests that I keep severed human limbs in my freezer.” Either way, no one’s gonna accidentally walk off with your suitcase at the baggage claim. Thanks, Jonathan!

  $399 at Hideo Store

  ( 21" x 14" x 8", 9.5 lbs.)

• Lotta Jansdotter: 30 Postcards Boxed Set

  

  If you consistently fail at sending birthday cards or thank you notes on time, consider keeping a set of these minimalist postcards on hand. Purchase a roll of postcard stamps at the same time, and you’ve got a fighting chance. They come in a pretty wooden box, so pop a bow on one and you have a nice pre-wrapped gift.

• World Time Clock

  

  The best designers take elaborate concepts and express them simply. This clock makes me want to find Charlotte Van Der Waals so I can pet her pretty, pretty brain. To read the time in a particular time zone, you just roll the World Time Clock until the correct city is on top. (Each city represents one of the 24 global time zones.) Easy as pie, even with jet lag and a mean mini-bottle hangover.

• Club Fife Underwear Subscription

  

  My girlfriend Ilene recommended Club Fife underwear, saying they were simple and comfortable. She forgot to mention how the sexy cuts make you feel like cranking your stereo and dancing around the bedroom in your skivvies. They’re made of extra-soft modal, but they breathe like cotton, and you can throw them in the wash. Pay by the pair, or sign up for the club and receive two pairs a month at half the price, with free shipping. Cancel whenever.

  $20 at Club Fife

  (Price is per month, for two pairs of knickers.)

• Mighty Leaf Tea Sampler

  

  Delicious! When I admitted to being a tea freak, a bunch of my readers (most notably, Elise) sent notes urging us to post about Mighty Leaf Teas. I feel silly to have forgotten about Mighty Leaf for so long, because they’re an old favorite. Mighty Leaf packs tasty, whole-leaf tea into convenient, silky tea bags. (Most other tea bags are filled with crushed, bitter leaf flakes that are practically undrinkable.) This sampler gives your favorite tea snob 108 moments of peace, and many of the teas are even better on second brewing. Includes: Breakfast Americana, Earl Gold, Vanilla Bean, Orange Jasmine, Marrakesh Mint, Green Tea Tropical, African Nectar, Chamomile Citrus, and Mint Melange. (If you want the tea, but don’t need the pretty box and menu, you can purchase a refill box for only $54.)

• Big Dreams Quilt

  

  ON SALE I’m so sick of $400 duvet covers. If I’m throwing down some serious cash, I want something with heft, you know? This quilt is hand-stitched with red thread. It would work equally well in a chic modern loft or a kitschy mountain cabin. When it gets dirty, you can throw it in the machine, so you can let the kids drag it wherever. (Unlike the $400 duvet.)

  $95 at Pillows and Throws
