• Smith’s Rosebud Salve

  

  This is the balm I use when my lips are cracked and thirsty for love. It smells like tea roses and has a flattering pink tint. So soft and healing, use it to get rid of icky skin flakes. Also makes a great cuticle cream.

• Tom’s of Maine Natural Anticavity Flouride Toothpaste, Spearmint

  

  This does not taste like hippies. It tastes less overpowering, but more naturally minty than your average drugstore toothpaste. It leaves your mouth feeling like you just chewed some mint leaves. My new favorite thing.

• Anchor Old Potrero 18th Century Style Rye

  

  A pet project of the Anchor Steam Brewery on San Francisco’s Potrero Hill, Old Poetrero Rye is their attempt to recreate the original American whiskey. Rye is nearly impossible to find in bars or liquor stores, so if you know a whiskey lover, this is a can’t-miss gift. Old Potrero is made in a small copper pot still at the distillery, and aged for a year in Oak barrels. There’s never enough to go around, so get yours while it’s in season and available.

  ON SALE All right already, people! I decided against posting this ice cream maker, but then I got a bazillion emails from people suggesting it. As I am a slave to popular opinion, here it is. You put the ingredients in, add ice, and then play with it like a ball. You can toss it, roll it, whatever. Makes a pint of ice cream in about twenty minutes.

• Nerd ABCs

  

  I is for Ichthyosaur.
  K is for Kepler’s Third Law.
  P is for Positive Correlation. While your kid is learning that Doggy starts with D, the kid next door knows how to pronounce Diurnal. Sure, your kid could kick that kid’s ass, but who’ll have the house on the lake when she’s twenty-two? Geek up the nursery with Tiffany Ard’s Nerd ABCs, and ensure a socially awkward, financially rewarding future for your offspring.
