Eva Solo make products that are deceptive in their simplicity, supremely functional, and aesthetically beautiful. This table grill allows you to cook at the table or while picnicking: the stainless steel handle makes it easy to carry, even when hot. The grill sits on a wooden trivet, which provides stability and protects your table from the heat (as well as an internal heat shield and bowl that stops the charcoal from contacting with the porcelain). Cooking at the table was never so easy or so eye-pleasing. Just add charcoal and light - use for Japanese yakitori, Spanish tapas, or even mini-hamburgers! The porcelain bowl can also be used as a serving bowl when not grilling, and is dishwasher-safe. * Packaging: Graphic gift box * Size: 12" dia x 6.3" h * This item normally ships in 48 hours.

OK, let's face it, we're all sick of cables. While the world resolutely goes wireless, electricity refuses to comply, and so we are left with...lots of wire to charge our wireless devices. Con & Con solve the problem with Italian style. The E-Base is designed to hide all those wires, and provide a central place to store all your goodies. The power block (not provided) sits under the surface, hidden from view, with all your chargers and plugs; the cable feeds up through the slots which keep the cables separate and free from tangles.

Wood jewelry is typically more folksy than chic. But designer Tadd Sackville-West of Cero Designs goes against the grain with these stunning wood veneer cuffs--lined in sterling silver, no less. They will immediately become a go-to staple as an organic, even avant-garde finish to any look, dressed up or dressed down. Two widths are available here: The 1.25" Maru and the 2" Kyasha. These cuffs fit most women's wrists (and even a few men's!), and they are strong enough to slip on and off endlessly. We have only one pal who needed to custom order a larger size--but she's a potter, so has very robust wrists! What gets devotees isn't the fit, but having to decide which wood to choose.

Sarah Finn takes the thinnest of veneers, and laser cuts them into two distinctive patterns - one with stars and the other (slightly wider) with small "s" incisions. Each pattern is available in two different woods - a reddish mahogany and a white maple. The napkin rings come flat (you can send them in an envelope!) and are simply bent into shape; small tabs then lock them into place. You can keep them assembled, or re-flatten them for easy storage. Either way they make a great addition to any table, and a unique gift. See less
