Wine preserver. Collapsible. Keeps wine fresh for days or even weeks by eliminating presence of oxygen. Think backpacking, fly fishing. Admittedly, our wine seldom lasts more than two hours. However, there’s much less to carry on the way back. 800ml capacity.
Wake up call. Begin the day with one of these neat clocks.

Looking for a rucksack because of its attitude and be surprised by its utility. Or because of its utility and tolerate its attitude.
For the cyclist, hiker, fashionista in your fave circle.
A great deal of design details are built upon a good, functional pack.
With a padded laptop pocket ( which can hold a 15“ MacBook Pro ), additional pockets on the interior, an easy-access zippered top pocket for keys and whatnots, and a removable cellphone pocket for the shoulder strap. The size of the main compartment expands and contracts based on what you are carrying and is determined by how snugly you fasten the top.
Ultimately, this is one tight pack. Whatever you do, just don’t take it to traffic court.

Mid–twentieth–century Milan designer Giordano Robbiati achieved a spiritual union between form and function when he devised a new type of coffee maker in the late 1940s. Ciao bella.
If you “love” retro modernism and espresso, go no farther. Loved around the world, Robbiati’s patented coffee machine is a classic design of the ‘Atomic Age'(1945–1960). Known as the ‘Atomic’ it embodies the explosive energy and creativity of the post-war era of Italian coffee machine design.
It would be impossible to improve on the organic lines and sleek modernism of Robbiati’s extraordinary machine or to find a more versatile stovetop coffee maker. The quality and simplicity of the machine ensures trouble free operation for a life–time.
The all new “La Sorrentina” Coffee Machine is the result of close collaboration between Ikon Exports, Australia and the Bellman Company in Taiwan. Our goal was to produce a new product worthy of the Atomic style machine. A love of coffee and reverence for the beauty and functionality of the original design united us in this endeavor. After years of refinement the end result is a premium reproduction of Robbiati’s patented coffee machine, manufactured to the same dimensions and high standard.
Having just visited the Wolfsonian museum’s Streamline Show, this coffee maker shoulda been there.

Here’s a nice Valentine gift for that special person who likes casual, protection from the elements, and protection from Uzi’s & 44 magnums.
Plus it’s waterproof, with an optional stab-proof lining. It’s a bit pricier than one that protects you from bird shot. The sales rep wouldn’t say how much but our research guesses at about $10G’s USD. A less is more polo shirt is about $12G’s. Country of origin for bullet-proof apparel? You’re right! Columbia.

Value item: Looking for a ruler? There’s never one around when you need one. Too bad they’re knitted.
But they are a fashion statement of sorts and it does send a message that you’re handy.
