Blomus Stainless Steel Flask
BY REQUEST “My Fiance and I decided to buy a special, useful gift to each other to celebrate our wedding: His & Hers Flasks. Could you suggest a good place, a little off the beaten path, to buy some flasks?” You two really know how to start a marriage off on happy footing. This is the most unique, yet non-gimmicky flask I came across. It’s brushed stainless steel and holds 7.1 oz. Sleek and reasonably priced. More options above.

Xocolatl Hot Chocolate
Delicious. Xocolatl (pronounced Choco-la’tl) emphasizes the “hot” part of hot chocolate. It’s based on a traditional Aztec drink that combines chocolate with a whomp of chilies and a little cinnamon. If you need a gallon of water to get through a tamale, don’t try this at home. But if you can appreciate a dessert with some kick, this cocoa is the spice of life.
(12 oz.)

Babydoll Pliner
Your puppy is tough. He can run full force into the patio door, whack his head, and pop right back up. He can catch a Frisbee at 50 mph with his teeth. Now you can get him his own leather jacket made of calfskin with eyelet detailing. If he’s the best guard dog around, he might as well dress the part.

Classic Century Teapot
I’ve spent way too much time on eBay looking for the perfect teapot. This honey is a reissue of a 1952 design by Eva Zeisel. It’s dishwasher and microwave safe, totally usable, and worthy of display. Several pieces in the collection have the same utilitarian, yet sculptural feel to them. Click around and see if you fall for one too.

Leather Card Cases
BY READER REQUEST Just got an email with the following specs: “I need a business-card case that doesn’t suck and isn’t trying too hard. I got my very first business cards recently-much rejoicing-and am sort of at a loss for what to put them in. I want something functional, but not flashy. I don’t want something that screams “Can you believe I have business cards?! Woohoo!” because my personality does that very, very well. I also don’t want something that looks like a hand-me-down from my father. I’m the youngest person in my office, so I want to avoid anything too youthful; otherwise, I would so be using a Hello Kitty case already.” Congrats on the milestone, wage earner! These colorful leather card cases are energetic, but not immature. Technically, they’re set up like mini-wallets, but they’ll work just as well to stow your business cards. They come in seven different color combinations, so take your pick.
